Magical Views & Peaceful Vibes; private dock, kayaks, firepit, office! Set in the heart of Connecticut’s beloved lake country, this home offers a 4 season year-round escape where the water is always calling. Spend warm days boating, swimming, and fishing, or simply relaxing by the shoreline. As the seasons shift, the lake becomes just as magical—surrounded by fall colors or turning into a peaceful winter retreat. No matter when you visit, this lakefront getaway invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the timeless charm of life by the water. Welcome to Lake Zoar's Magical Lakeside Cottage, a peaceful retreat nestled on the shores of Lake Zoar. A serene retreat where you’ll want to settle in and stay put, surrounded by the calming beauty of the lake. Make your descent from the street to the cottage, where you are rewarded with a cozy, lakeside oasis perfect for relaxation. Perched just above the water with gorgeous lake views and a constant, calming breeze, this cozy, couples-friendly hideaway is all about unplugging and unwinding. Enjoy multiple outdoor lounging spots, stroll through the grassy yard to the dock for swimming or boating, and let the magic of the lake settle in. Inside this intimate home you will find everything you need. The main level offers a charming eat-in kitchen, a peaceful bedroom, and a bathroom, all with stunning lake views. A charming, yet narrow spiral staircase adds to the cottage’s cozy charm, but it’s not the easiest to navigate for everyone. (You can avoid it by going out the front door and around to the lower level—just keep in mind that means stepping outside.) The lower level, accessed by a narrow spiral staircase, features a quaint seating area, laundry, and an additional bedroom with a walk-out patio. With its modern amenities and tranquil surroundings, Magical Lakeside Cottage is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake. Important to Know Before Booking... This peaceful lakeside escape offers stunning views and a tranquil setting, but please be aware that access requires a bit of a workout. There is a 66-step descent (and climb back up) between the parking area and the house. From the house to the yard, there are approximately 50 additional steps. To access the dock, you’ll go down another 22+ steps from the yard. That’s over 130 steps in total, not including any moving around the property. This home is best suited for guests who are comfortable with stairs and do not have mobility limitations. If you're up for it, the views and lake access are worth it! MAIN FLOOR Kitchen: A fully equipped kitchen perfect for preparing gourmet meals or simply ordering in. Full Bath: A spacious and updated bathroom featuring a full tub and shower. Queen-Sized Bedroom: A cozy bedroom offering just enough space for a restful night’s sleep, complete with a smart TV, hanging space, and a luggage rack. Dining Area: A charming dining space with seating for 4, conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, perfect for enjoying meals with lake views. Deck: Step outside onto the deck (from kitchen/dining) and take in breathtaking lake views, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings. LOWER LEVEL Access: The lower level is accessible via a narrow spiral staircase (please note, this is the only way to access the lower level unless you go outside). Living Space: A cozy living area with a comfortable couch and a smart TV, perfect for unwinding after a day of lake activities. Queen-Sized Bedroom: A second bedroom featuring a queen-sized bed, dresser, and smart TV. Laundry Room: A full-sized washer and dryer for added convenience during your stay. Covered Patio: Step out onto the covered patio, where Adirondack chairs offer a peaceful spot to sit and take in the view of the yard and lake. OUTDOOR SPACE: We Now Have A HOT TUB!!!! Multiple seating areas for your choosing. Upper level dining area with fire table, BBQ grill, high over the lake. Lower level seating area with bistro table and adironack chairs overlooking lake. Yard level, Adirondack chairs and fire pit. Dock level, seating, fire pit, access to the water. No diving off of dock, approximately 4' deep directly off of dock. 2 kid life jackets, 2 adult life jackets 2 Kayaks, Floats Can dock your boat or take one of the two kayaks out on the lake. We can provide you with information on where to access the water if you are bringing a boat. This layout ensures that guests enjoy both comfort and privacy while being surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the lake. REMINDER: Two important details to be aware of before booking. 1\. Steep descent to the property from the road/parking. Once you get to the house and inside you will forget about that part of the journey. 2\. Inside the cottage, a narrow spiral staircase connects the two levels. It adds to the cozy charm of the space, but it can be a bit tight and may not be ideal for everyone. Guests can also access the lower level by going outside and using the back entrance if preferred. 3\. All pets must be approved. Plan on packing light and letting your worries get washed away by the lake breeze. Come and stay awhile... we can't wait to host you. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a group retreat, or a peaceful lakeside escape, this rustic Candlewood Isle retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and unforgettable lake views. Come join us at our Connecticut lakefront haven, where every season offers something special—relax by the water, spend days boating and swimming, cast a line at sunrise, or enjoy the quiet charm of winter. No matter how you choose to unwind, your all-season lakeside getaway awaits. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Spices - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Fishing - Motor boating - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123600000/123596800/123596759/bafba091.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 2-bedroom cottage in peaceful Danbury with AC Danbury - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=123596759&PinnedHotelID=123596759&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120110000/120109700/120109688/2c77a839.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hat City Danbury II, Welcome to your Retreat Danbury - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=120109688&PinnedHotelID=120109688&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=113912579&PinnedHotelID=113912579&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=113912579,123596759,120109688) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
