About this property

Entertainers Dream, Candlewood Lake, Hot Tub,Disco,Theatre,Music studio..more!

There are many great homes you can rent but if the weather turns are there enough things to do to occupy your guests? Here your plan B is covered. Candlewood Isle is located 80 minutes from Manhattan and sits in the middle of Candlewood Lake which is 11 miles long. Our home is on the top of a ridge overlooking the lake on a dead-end road. The house is not lakefront, however, it is a 1-minute drive to the clubhouse beach. Or a short walk. This home is one of the most private homes on the whole Island. The house features everything you could ever want to do for your vacation, even if it rains the home offers plenty of features to keep you occupied. You can even still have an outside BBQ with our huge covered patio under the deck. There is a pool table, ping pong table, shuffleboard table, 3 bars (2 inside) (and one outside) a movie theatre that converts to a disco, a music studio, and for those that don't play an instrument, there is a professional karaoke system that provides hours of fun. The home has two wood-burning fireplaces, a 1,600 sq foot deck with two top-of-the-line Weber grills & a smoker. There is a nice flat yard as well as a fire pit and patio/bar in the back with a Bluetooth audio system The home has 5 smart TVs as well as audio systems throughout the home inside and out. It also has a hot tub that seats 7 people on the deck overlooking the lake. NOTE: The home is built as 6 bedrooms, however, two of those rooms have been converted into a theatre and the other a music studio. You may have these rooms set up as bedrooms if the current sleeping arrangements don't meet your needs, the theatre has a king sleeper sofa however the house can sleep 12 without utilizing these rooms.

Great space for intimate wedding

We had a small wedding with 16 guests and this was the perfect property for it! It had everything we needed and offered a lot of unique features that most properties don’t have. We had the best wedding weekend here and are so thankful!

Fantastic place for a summer friend gathering

We stayed here for my friend's low-key bachelorette party. Peter was a great and responsive host, and the property was wonderful. We sang lots of karaoke and enjoyed cocktails on the large deck with beautiful views. Access to the community beach club was a big plus. Everyone had a great time and was really impressed with this property. Highly recommend it!

Amazing Home Away Stay During Covid

I took my family of 8 away to get out into nature (hiking and lake) for 2 weeks at this beautiful home atop beautiful Candlewood Lake in Fairfield CT. We could have stayed all summer it was so incredible. The pictures are spot on and the lake and property are fanstastic. Home was everything we hoped for and more!

Great house - awesome time!

Peter is a great host and the house was top notch. Recommend this to a large group of people that are looking to be a little secluded but also want access to the lake. Not a single complaint here - if I'm coming back to Candlewood Lake next summer, I'll be looking to rent from Peter again!

Perfect Vacation House for Adults and/or Kids!!

We had an amazing time and really appreciated Peter's hospitality! The house has a beautiful view and the location is perfect because it is private but also so close to the water. There were so many things to do in the house that even on the day that it rained, we had so much fun. I'd highly recommend for families or for a group of friends/young adults!

Fun property in beautiful location

Peter made our stay easy and convenient, we had a great time cooking for our party of 8 in the kitchen and enjoyed spectacular views from the hot tub. He was very responsive and helpful with explaining the house and the built in technology for music and movie streaming is terrific. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a group getaway where you can have all the fun activities you want without even leaving the home!

Perfect Small Wedding

Peter was an excellent and gracious host. His house was stunning, with lots of space and beautiful views. We had our small wedding ceremony on his wrap-around porch overlooking the lake. He even recommended a wonderful chef to cook dinner for us at the house. We loved the theater and karaoke as well. I definitely suggest staying here.

Beautiful high tech home, great views, great amenities

I had a group of 6, and we had a great stay at Peter's home on the Lake. From the pictures you can tell, it's a beautiful home, and upon arrival it does not disappoint. The home has a great layout for groups or families who need multiple bedrooms with multiple beds. Ping Pong, Hot Tub, Steam Shower, Movie Theater, and Privacy, this house really had it all. Peter was very attentive to any questions and was great. I can't recommend the Peter's home enough. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic home and location

This house is exactly as advertised - all the bells and whistles worked and then some. Peter met us for a walkthrough and instructions on the many amenities the home, which was very helpful. The house is beautiful and all the furniture and finishes are top of the line - no rental-quality stuff here! It was the perfect spot for our group of friends to spend a weekend on the lake. Plenty of space with lots of entertainment. We never left except for spending a morning on the lake (and Peter has great boat rental recommendations!). Peter is very friendly, was always available for questions, and even complimented us on our cleaning job (which is rare for a host!) 10/10 would stay again.

The Perfect Retreat!

Peter's home was everything it was described to be plus more. We stayed here in a group of 11 adults and there was so many activities to keep everyone happy and entertained the entire time. The view from the house is truly one of a kind and Peter's hospitality was second to none. Any questions we had Peter was super quick to get back to us through text and help out with whatever we needed. The home has audio systems controlled by a smart feature that you can play music throughout the entire home straight from your phone, truly an entertainers dream. I can probably write an essay about how great our stay was at this home but I will stop here. Thank you for having us Peter and looking forward to coming back soon!

An Outstanding Retreat For Couples, Friends and Family

Set less than 90 minutes from NYC, we thought this was the perfect setting for our New Year's Eve getaway and we couldn't be more correct. From the moment we booked, to check-in, the duration of our stay, and check-out, Peter was incredibly responsive in handling all our needs and ensured we understood all the house procedures. Not only was Peter's handling well-received from our group, but the house itself is remarkable. We were able to experience the house during a snowy stay, therefore, we made use of the heated floors, three fireplaces, in-door theatre and convertible disco, and of course, the hot tub. While we very much enjoyed our snowy chalet retreat, our group (comprised of couples and friends), couldn't help but think forward to the summer and all the grilling, patio lounging, yard games, and outdoor activities the house would allow for, particularly with its stellar location overlooking Candlewood Lake. It truly is the ideal getaway oasis for anytime of the year, and any large group.

Winter trip to New Fairfield

We are a group of two families with a total of 6 kids ranging from 10-20. Every year we take a winter vacation and this year we had a blast. The property had amenities to the liking for the entire group...pool table, ping pong table, theatre (kids really loved that), karaoke, beautiful views, quality grill, speaker system, plenty of TVs, outdoor fire pit for smores, and more. The surrounding area was great too. It was easy to find restaurants with quality food and fair prices. Lots of great hiking. We also took two day trips to NYC which was easy to do with a group of 12. Overall it was one of our better trips that we have taken over the past 8 years. Lastly Peter was a great host. He's super nice and easy to get ahold of. Any concern we had (which weren't many) he quickly resolved them. He gave great advice on what to do in the surrounding area and made the trip easy on us. Thanks Peter!

5 STAR PROPERTY is an understatement!

5 STAR PROPERTY is an understatement! It was exactly as described in the listing and so much more! There is so much to experience on property making it extremely difficult to depart. From the large theater room with surround sound and plush leather recliners to the fully equipped karaoke studio offering online access to all your favorite tunes, this home has it ALL! Whether it's gaming, shooting a game of pool or engaging in a one on one ping pong challenge championship, there's never a shortage of activities and something for everyone! And if romance is what you crave... I highly recommend pouring yourself a cocktail at sunset before slipping into the most deliciously positioned and well maintained hot tub! While gazing upon Lake Candlewood, you'll enjoy a front row seat to a stage honoring clear skies and dancing constellations! It seems your host, Peter, thought of every meticulous detail making this home a recipe for perfection! The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining and creating a masterful feast, and the outdoor spaces make it nothing short of priceless for family gatherings and reunions! Additionally, the home feels like a 5-Star boutique resort! It's tidy, clean, and well maintained. I myself prioritize a good night's rest while on vacation and I must say, without hesitation that the master suite most certainly offers a such an experience with a king size bed not soon forgotten! And, no worries... food and spirit provisions are only minutes away, and if the detailed instructional guides lack the answers you seek, Peter is a phone call away! He was a "rock star" host and available when needed. I not only highly recommend this property, I want to LIVE THERE! Yes ... we will be back...

This house has everything. It’s at the end of a dead-end. Very private. Beautiful high lake view. Plenty of outdoor space. Plenty of parking. We were 10 ladies celebrating over 50 years of friendship. Plenty of beds for everyone to have their own. It was a beautiful weekend. The house offered plenty of entertainment. Very comfortable. The host/owner greeted us and walked us through the expansive home. He was very responsive and answered quickly. He facilitated our boat rental and captain. We stayed in and cooked both nights. The house is well equipped. This is not an income property and is his personal home.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Flower

Host profile image
I'm a Publisher in Manhattan with twin boys, I grew up in lower Westchester where I still reside. I tend to live an adventurous life, travel often, and I am very much into water activities. Wakeboarding and wake surfing are some of my passions, I love to entertain and have jam sessions and movie nights with my friends and family. I built this house to relax and unwind. It's the perfect setting and location.

Why they chose this property

As someone that craves the outdoors and came up to Candlewood Isle as a kid, I always knew I'd one day buy a vacation home here. I searched for a few years to find a home on the Isle that I liked, not many are for sale. Upon finding this home the first day it was on the market I bought it. It had the most important element I wanted, privacy. Unlike most of the homes on the Isle that are on top of one another, ours sits at the end of a dead-end road and one of the few that has a flat yard on the hilly Isle terrain. Although it was not the ideal home at the time, it was the ideal property that sits high on the hill overlooking Candlewood lake. In 2012 I decided it was time to make it the home I wanted and underwent a million-dollar renovation making it the perfect home to entertain my guests. The best thing about this house is it has something for everyone, even if it's a storm outside there is always fun to do inside. It's close enough to Manhattan, 90 minutes and you could always take a bus or train up to Danbury which is close by. During the summer you can rent a boat at the local marina, take in the beach and even enjoy meeting new people should there be something going on at our clubhouse. You will find everyone on the Isle warm and inviting. We are a 2-minute ride to the beach or a 8-minute walk.

What makes this property unique

There are lots of homes you can rent, think about your needs for you and your guests, if it rains does the home offer a plan B for your vacation? We have 5-star ratings from our guests because rain or shine our home offers everything you need and covers your plan B should the weather turn on you. Chefs Kitchen, Hot tub, Steam shower, Fire Pit, 3 Bars, Large flat yard, (Corn hole game) Karaoke system, Movie theatre, pool table, ping pong, shuffleboard, music studio, 5 smart TV's and disco! Outside, Beach, tennis court/Pickel ball, Basketball all a short walk. Enough to occupy every guest. There are 3 BBQ's and even if the weather turns bad you can still enjoy an outside BBQ under the deck which is sealed from the above elements.
