This beautiful home features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2 living areas, a spare bedroom/reading room, a sunroom, a newly remodeled kitchen, and a dining room. Families can gather outside on the large deck, the patio, or play together on the backyard swing set.

- The first sofa bed is located in the corner of living room 1. It has a spring mattress, can seat three people, and sleeps two people. The second sofa bed is located in the spare bedroom (labeled as Office 1). It has a memory foam mattress, can seat three people, and sleeps two people.

**Bathrooms**
The home is equipped with 2 full bathrooms, so there’s no need to wait around for your turn. Both bathrooms have a shower, bathtub, large sink, hairdryer, and ventilation fan. Make use of the provided soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and towels.

- Bathroom 1 is located upstairs and has shelving above the toilet for storage.

- Bathroom 2 is located downstairs and has shelving below the sink and a bidet toilet.

**Kitchen**
At the heart of the home lies a large, newly remodeled kitchen, seamlessly connected to the dining room, making it perfect for entertaining. Prepare anything from snacks to full meals in this well-equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances and a large island with pendant lights hanging over. Appliances include a GE refrigerator (equipped with a drink drawer, chilling drawer, ice maker, water dispenser, and pull-out freezer), microwave, Bosch dishwasher, farmhouse deep sink, coffee maker, toaster, blender, and a double oven and air fryer combo unit (electric range with exhaust fan).

The kitchen is stocked full of cooking accessories that include all types of glasses, bowls, cups, utensils, child-specific items (cups, utensils, trays), bakeware, pots, pans, grill accessories, knife sets, serving utensils, mugs, bar accessories, basic spices/seasonings, and pretty much anything you can think of!

**Dining Room**
The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a table that seats six. It’s not only great for delicious dinners but also for game nights, so grab a game from the bookshelf. The dining room and kitchen offer views of the yard.

Please note that it no longer has the monitor, desk, and chair shown in the pictures, as the sofa bed has replaced them.

PLEASE READ THE HOUSE RULES BELOW BEFORE BOOKING A RESERVATION!

Note: Due to VRBO's character limit on the listing description, I had to omit some details about certain rules. If you book a reservation, you will receive a link to our digital guidebook. Go to the “Detailed House Rules” manual and read it. You must understand all the rules as I will refer to them if issues arise!

1. All guests must be accounted for in the reservation. This means all guests entering the home at any time count as guests. In other words, the definition of a guest is not limited to those planning on sleeping inside the unit but to all guests planning to be inside the unit at any given time. Any extra guests (unregistered guests) not disclosed before arrival may lead to the termination of the reservation.

2. If you are a local resident, please seek our pre-approval before booking a reservation. We reserve the right to deny bookings made by local guests since data shows that large gatherings and parties tend to occur when local guests use the residence.

3. Please note that we only release door codes to the person who booked the reservation.

4. No parties/events. We will know if these occur because we have outdoor video cameras and close relationships with our neighbors, who have been instructed to alert us if any parties are being held. If this happens, then we will immediately terminate your reservation, you will not be refunded any money, and furthermore, we will seek compensation for any damages found upon our subsequent inspection of the property.

5. Not for commercial use or special occasions without pre-approval (weddings, bachelor parties, birthdays, commercials, bridal showers, photoshoots, etc.).

6. Please note that this is a smoke-free/drug-free environment. You may smoke
outside the property if you are at least 15 feet away from the house. If we detect that smoking has occurred in the home, you will be charged for a deep cleaning of the home.

7. No excessive noise or loud music. Quiet hours run from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. If we receive complaints of loud noise, then your reservation will be terminated.

8. We have two security cameras placed outside the home. We have a camera overlooking the driveway and a doorbell camera monitoring the front door area. Therefore, we will see everyone who enters and leaves the home.

9. The maximum guest occupancy for the property is 10 guests.

10. Pets are not allowed in the unit. Unauthorized pets will incur a fee.

11. Firearms are not allowed in the house.

12. Mail is not allowed to be sent to the property.

13. Do not use the neighbor across the street's garbage/recycling bins or street parking spots. The neighbor has outdoor video cameras monitoring their garbage/recycling bins and parking spots. They will alert me if they are used, and you will be fined. If you are unsure which street parking spots and outdoor garbage bins are ours, refer to the digital guidebook, which contains written descriptions and pictures of these things.

14. Please leave the residence in a clean and tidy state.

15. Please ensure you check out on time to avoid a $50 late check-out fee. Unless otherwise discussed, any guest still in the residence after 12 p.m. will be charged for an extra night.

16. Guests are assured that the space will be in clean and working condition. No compensation will be given for non-working items outside of our control, including but not limited to power outages, internet outages, etc.

17. Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses occurring on the premises or their facilities. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events.

18. Most importantly, enjoy your stay and have fun!

My husband and I, along with our daughter and grandson, recently spent some time at Candlewood Lake in Jeff’s house. From the start, James provided excellent communication and was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. The house itself was very clean, spacious, and was laid out with multiple “sections” that would allow everyone to spread out and relax comfortably, if desired.The beds were very comfortable, the showers were excellent, and we especially appreciated the well-equipped, modern kitchen. It truly felt like a home away from home. We had a great experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Wonderful place to stay!

My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and spacious. We loved drinking coffee in the morning with a fire in the fireplace. My daughter had a blast outside on the swing set. The kitchen was literally a dream. Jeff was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We are originally from New Fairfield and it was so great to find such a perfect property for our family that we plan to return to for our next visit!!

This house is so homey and safe feeling. Like a cozy little cottage snuggled within the trees beside the most calm and peaceful lake. I really needed a reset from my life - here is to new beginnings and to a happy future starting in this perfect little getaway. The host was wonderful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had including a slightly later check out due to a later flight.
