Ça vaut chaque pas jusqu’au bord du lac - Bord de lac direct - Docks privés, foyer extérieur, recharge VE
Experience one of Candlewood Lake's most sought-after lakefront settings.
Luxury Direct Lakefront Retreat | Private Docks | Fire Pit | EV Charger
Welcome to "Worth Every Step to Lake's Edge!" Direct lakefront on Candlewood Lake with 180°+ views, private docks, deep-water swimming (15 ft at ladder), sunrise views, cooler afternoons, fire pit (bring firewood), EV charger, kayaks, and year-round lake access. Sleeps 8 comfortably/maximum. Gated community, 90 minutes from NYC. Guests must be comfortable with stairs—the reward is being just 20 feet from the water. Perfect for boating, fishing, and unforgettable lake memories. Pets welcome with approval.
**Please Read Before Booking - Stairs** Because the home is built into the hillside, there are interior and exterior stairs. This design allows the house to sit remarkably close to the shoreline—a rare feature that provides spectacular views, outstanding privacy, and immediate access to the lake.
Many lakefront homes require lengthy walks down steep paths between the home and water. Here, you'll spend far more of your vacation enjoying the lake instead of walking back and forth from the home to the water. Steps to enter the home, limited steps to enter the water.
**Guests with mobility limitations should carefully consider whether this home is a good fit.**
**Packing light is recommended and makes arrival much easier. Towels and complementary essentials are provided with your stay. **
________________________________________
Located just 20 feet from the water's edge, this luxury lakefront home offers 180°+ unobstructed panoramic views, deep-water swimming, and immediate access to everything that makes lake life unforgettable. Unlike many lakefront homes that sit high above the shoreline or close to the road with long stairways leading to the water, this home was built exceptionally close to the lake. That means you'll spend your vacation at the water—not walking back and forth to it.
Wake each morning to breathtaking sunrise views over the lake while enjoying coffee from one of several decks or patios. Because the home faces east, you'll enjoy beautiful morning sunshine without the intense afternoon heat common to many west-facing lakefront homes. As the day warms up, the home and outdoor living spaces become comfortably shaded, making afternoons and evenings perfect for swimming, boating, grilling, relaxing with a book, or gathering around the fire pit while enjoying cool lake breezes.
If you prefer sleeping in, the bedrooms feature room-darkening shades, allowing you to enjoy a restful night's sleep while waking on your own schedule.
Whether you're seeking peaceful relaxation, unforgettable family memories, or endless days on the water, this home was designed to deliver an exceptional lakefront experience.

Beautiful home in the best location on Candlewood Lake - very private and secure. The house is extremely comfortable, with two huge decks overlooking the lake, one covered, which was great for rain and too much sun and the other offering views all day. The floating dock is wonderful for swimming, kayaking etc as well as watching sunsets, fireworks and the stars at night— just a beautiful property! The hosts are responsive and the process in and out was very easy.We also rented a pontoon boat from Gerard’s marina which was such fun- highly recommended!

Great get-away house on the lake. There are a lot of stairs to be mindful of if you have elderly. I don’t think you can get around that with most houses on Candlewood lake. Views from patio and dock were fantastic, especially at sunset. Upstairs desk made it easy to work remote from.

What a beautiful setting! 180 degrees of gorgeous lake views, tucked between lush, large trees and nestled down a beautifully landscaped slope…breathe, listen to the birdsongs, watch fish leap and cranes gently glide, take a dip, row a kayak and enjoy the laughter of families passing by on the lake! The house is very clean and has everything needed for a relaxing and fun stay. Tho there are stairs, the view from them is great! They’re solid, wide and have handrails as they curve downward. The owners are lovely and extremely helpful!

If you enjoy climbing stairs and/or walking up and down steep inclines, this is the place for you! Unpacking our car was a blast. The house was spotless with great views of the lake. The lake itself is fantastic for boating, fishing and kayaking. We definitely had a memorable vacation.

Friends Trip
This beautiful home was very comfortable for a friends gathering with plenty of seating to enjoy the beautiful lake views from the deck or inside the house. The bathrooms were clean & the beds were comfortable.
As the property description clearly states there are a lot of stairs which was not an issue for our active group.
If ever looking to stay in this area again I would definitely look to return here!

Cozy lakeside holiday getaway
Our family's stay at Helen and Richie's property for the holidays was perfect. Waking up to views of the lake every morning, watching flocks of birds travel on the water and being surrounded by nature was all we could ask for. The house has all amenities provided in the kitchen, bathrooms etc. Location is convenient near shops, grocery, and restaurants in New Fairfield. The hosts were very responsive in communication and I appreciated them providing everything we needed.

This place has stunning views of the lake with a large dock to park your boat at. The house is on one of the most desirable place on candlewood lake, We had a great time. Place was clean and the owners are good people. Caught a large catfish off the dock. Spent the days on the boat around the lake and at nearby islands. Only heads up is there are stairs throughout the property so be able to climb stairs. Thanks and we will be back

We loved everything about this house. The lake and the floating dock were perfect. We brought paddle boards and used the kayaks everyday. The views and patios were terrific. The house had everything we needed as a family of five and a dog. Generous number of spices, towels, blankets, etc. games / puzzles / and everything smells nice as well! Thanks for a wonderful experience, Helen and Richie!

We had a lovely time. Everything was great, this was our 2nd year there. I do think it would be nice if some updates were made-could use a new fridge(we brought our own water bc the water/ice filtration system doesn't work on the fridge. And our own ice maker, and -as the owners have stated it is a long/steep walk-so to be carrying waters down the driveway is a bit difficult) ) The decks also could use some TLC in our opinion. But all in all-its great!

We had a great time. Kids had a wonderful time fishing and swimming. Only draw back was the 54 steep stairs you had to climb getting too and from your car and the home. Has a senior it was tough. Anyone with a handicap would not be able to do it.

We rented Anchors Away for 5 weeks this summer - The house is exactly as described. Everything that you need is provided - towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc….. The views from the deck are gorgeous - Our favorite spot to unwind. We brought our boat and docked it right outside. We have 2 pre teens and a toddler and the home worked great for all. Helen and Richie were great hosts, very helpful and easy to communicate with. We would have stayed longer if we could. Would highly recommend this lake house.

Lakefront Beauty
The property was as described and the living space was perfect for our visit. The deck and views are amazing. If staying at this property, you just need to be aware that it is very difficult getting luggage and groceries into the property. You have to go down a long flight of stairs, walk down a very steep driveway and then go down another flight of stairs. Once you are in, bedroom access requires that you go up or down additional stairs.

Wonderful Spring Girls Weekend
We came for a girls weekend. The house is beautiful with plenty of comfy seating. Super clean. The view is beautiful and fun to watch all the boaters. We could not get fire pit to work, but this could have been user error. I would caution others that the stairs are a lot! Definitely not for elders and a real workout, but this was clearly stated in description. Otherwise an absolute dream house with plenty of space. The attention to detail and decor (especially in the bathrooms) was appreciated! Thank you!

Beautiful home-Excellent hosts
We traveled to CT with my parents for the week. Richie and Helen were very gracious. Their home is beautiful. They had everything a family would need on vacation. We needed to attend an event and I asked Richie if they had an iron/ironing board. They did not. Richie was at the door 30 minutes later with the items! The temperature dropped about 30 degrees while we were there. We texted about heat and they responded within minutes and turned on heat.
We were very comfortable. My parents are 80 years old. They managed the steps. They thought it was great exercise! Of course the golf cart was available, but my parents opted out of it.
We enjoyed the many sites and trails. CT in September is beautiful! This home is a gem.
