This was our second stay at the property and it was wonderful! The house is so cute and clean. Really feels like home. We cook up a storm in the kitchen and on the huge grill. The kids are crazy about the game room. We are never bored, so much to do. I miss having our morning coffee on the dock. Views are fabulous.
Perfect house for a family Lake vacation
We just had the most magical 10 days. The house was perfect, the location and views were amazing. Jocelyn was super helpful, responsive and was the best owner I’ve rented from. All the small touches really add up. The welcome packet, how clean everything was, directions and what to do around town.
Our family had a much needed change of scenery at this stunning home right on Candlewood Lake. It had everything we needed for our stay, even in freezing temperatures! Everything was clean, super cozy and we had a blast roasting marshmallows and in the game room. Jocelynn was readily available with questions. Would love to return since it’s such an easy trip from NYC. Thank you!
The house is as advertised, a well maintained home and property on a quiet, one-lane street. We made a last minute booking for a Thanksgiving getaway and Jocelyn was quick to respond and accommodate us. I packed most of my cooking equipment just in case but I could have left about 90% of it home as the kitchen is well stocked and organized. Small travel shampoos and soaps etc were provided throughout, so there was a bit of that hotel convenience with the comfort of a home. There isn't a bad bed or room in the house, beds are all very comfortable, and our boys ages 5 & 3 enjoyed sleeping in the bunk bed room downstairs. I did notice the house was well setup for families with smaller children/babies if that's a concern for someone considering rental (retractable baby gates installed at the stairs, on-suite nursery room in master bedroom, high chair etc). Even in colder weather we were able to enjoy the backyard and terrace with the fire pit and propane heater, and the hot tub was fantastic as well, already heated up and ready to roll when we got there. We would love to come back in swimming weather, great view off the dock and lots of float toys & games in the shed. Plenty to do in foul weather too, board games/puzzles and the garage game room help pass the time easily!
Jocelynn’s home is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. She made the booking process a breeze and was extremely responsive. I look forward to staying at this amazing home again in the future.
Had a great time celebrating daughter’s 40th birthday. House was exactly as pictured online. Took advantage of all amenities. Owner very helpful and responsive.
Our family had a wonderful visit to Candlewood Lake. The home is exceptional. It is beautifully decorated and very well cared for. Jocelynn was a perfect host. She is very helpful and responsive. We hope to visit again next year!
I stayed at Jocelynn’s gorgeous house for two weeks. I could go on and on about how fabulous this property is! What an incredibly special place, The house had everything we could have possibly needed and was meticulously clean. The location could not have been any better. Jocelynn was a pleasure to deal with and made every aspect of our stay flow seamlessly. We are already trying to figure out when to go back!
Well, we loved the lake, the spotless pristine house and the outdoor amenities. This is a classic choice for the most discerning guests. Property and owner. We will be back, often. A+
