Across the road but part of our property there are kayaks are at the waters edge for easy use with life vests for all ages infant to adult! Sit back on our own private dock and experience an oasis of peace and serenity by the lake. The sundeck, which overlooks the lake has a grill and plenty of seating to enjoy the outdoors and soak up the sun and gorgeous sunsets. At night, flip on the outdoor string lights and enjoy the astonishing ambiance. The yard is large and has a fire-pit and Adirondack chairs so you can cozy up and enjoy some s’mores. Working vacation? No problem! We’ve got you covered with an office desk setup that includes a printer & monitor to work from while looking directly out at the water! It is OK to work on vacation, as long as you do it right! Conveniently located via Route 39 just an hour and twenty minutes from NYC. Driveway can fit multiple vehicle's. Plenty of room if you are towing a boat, jet-skis, quads, or RV's. Boat launch is just .5 miles away! Launch the boat and dock it at your private dock in Squantz Pond. Or, you can go down the road a bit to Candlewood Lake where there is also a boat launch. Just remember, Squantz Pond and Candlewood Lake do not connect. The living rooms 65 inch smart TV is complete with all the apps you need to sign in & watch for your entertainment! The sound bar and subwoofer are great for movie nights. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, wine openers, coffee maker, Keurig, blender, crockpot, belgian waffle maker, toaster, spices, pots, pans, wine, champagne glasses and more. The center of town in New Fairfield is just down the road. Stop & Shop grocery store, deli’s, liquor store, bars, & restaurants. This property has a 2nd cottage completely separate from this main house to the right on the same land, the total property in 2.8 acres each having 1.4 acres. Which is also a rental on VRBO, so other guests may be seen or pass through to access the kayaks and/or boat dock. The dock accommodates 2 boats so there is no problem if the other guest happens to be there at the same time with their boat - but that is an extremely rare occurrence. If this is booked, rest assured! We also have two more very similar sister properties less than a mile down the road! You can search the below two listing titles to find them and verify myself, Eric Walsh, as the host. It is my #1 priority to provide you with the 5 star quality service and experience you deserve!

The operational fireplace was also an added bonus. ##### Shyanne W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marissa L. Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great stay. Cottage is as pictured, and was very clean when we arrived. Check in was c easy as well. Someone in the main house at the same time we were in the cottage, but was never an issue with privacy. Pros: Views from cottage were beautiful. Especially at sunrise! Make sure to get up and go outside by the hammock. Plenty of hiking nearby, or main street type area. Even just driving and taking the fall scenery in was great. Make sure to do Pootatuck Forest and get to the overlook of Candlwood Lake- blue trail is longer and tougher than orange trail. Also want to mention that Eric and Katherine were responsive to issues we had. They quickly rectified a missing coffee maker and cookware that was unusable by door dashing a new coffee maker and cookware set so that our stay was enjoyable. They went above and beyond by doing this.Cons: We didn't realize a busy road was at the base of the driveway, but that could have been missed when we went through the listing, as we booked this last minute. Traffic noise was only an issue if outside, but not terrible when inside. Screened in porch could use an update- maybe an area rug for a more homier feel. ![The view of the sunrise just outside your door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e7291369-0333-4a7c-afd8-4e7231275554-1761504186557.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Welcoming entry into the cottage](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7ebf955-e6dd-47d0-8e61-f07cf0d3fec6-1761504183701.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![ ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d922a8df-39b2-4fad-a06a-4cac02b9c965-1761504184214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from living room window. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5289fe2c-8c09-4c18-b31f-45411384331f-1761504185044.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marissa L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachel T. Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy Check-in was easy! Photos were misleading--there is lake access quite close by but it's across a busy road, so it wasn't as quiet or peaceful as I'd anticipated. House had all that we needed, including some leftover propane for the grill (owners do not provide due to previous issues). Washer and dryer a bit old but functional. Shampoo and soaps on the budget side. Mattresses were comfortable. Overall, the house was nice, clean, and comfortable, but it definitely felt like a property used for vacation rentals in that it lacked some personal touches--I don't think the owners have ever stayed there. Could use a little more seating in the living room and kitchen seating would be better if it weren't benches. I felt that it cost too much for what it was, and I felt a bit duped by the photos. ##### Rachel T. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pattie H. Feb 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nurse Pattie Everything was great except the key pad. Many times I couldn’t lock the house when I left and I couldn’t open it a couple of times. Otherwise the house is adorable, comfortable and clean. ##### Pattie H.

Aug 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable Stay We took a last minute trip to end the summer. House was very clean - small cottage but functional. The house is across the street from the waterfront. Canoes and dock were enjoyed by all. They are shared with the neighboring property, but there were plenty of canoes, paddles, life preservers, etc. Owners were very respondent. Recommended. ##### John Z.

Nov 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hiking Getaway Eric’s place was cozy and clean with all amenities we needed. Bedrooms were cozy and roomy with comfortable mattresses. The full kitchen and Smart Tv rounded out a comfy, relaxed evening to drink wine and eat snacks from the nearby Stop and Shop. Unfortunately we could not use the beautiful fireplace due to the red flag warnings but it is a gorgeous focal piece! Our only issues were the directions on the VRBO site led us to a nearby property instead of the rental. We called the property manager and she gave us a landmark of an eagle lawn ornament which marked the actual property perfectly. We’d suggest putting that in the rental info online. Also the pictures suggest The cabin is waterfront and the lake is across a busy street. SPECTACULAR view but not quite accurate. Of course all in all we had a wonderful time at Eric’s place! ##### Cheryl L. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kat Z. Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location The property was difficult to locate, though Katherine was very responsive and easy to reach for directions. The Google location could use an update to make finding it easier. The listing is somewhat misleading, as it gives the impression that the water is directly accessible from the property. In reality, you need to go down a very steep hill, cross a busy street, and descend unstable stairs to reach it. Using the kayaks would require carrying them down that hill and hauling them back up again, which isn’t practical.The yard was overgrown and not maintained, though the interior was clean and the beds were comfortable. It’s clear the house was flipped quickly, with little attention to detail. Road noise was noticeable at night, which made sleeping a bit difficult. Overall, the stay was fine, but there are several things future guests should be aware of. ##### Kat Z.

Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property was clean and looked exactly as displayed in the photos. Dock for swimming and kayaking is of good size and good condition. Good variety of outdoor places to sit between screened porch and outdoor fire pit plus outdoor and indoor family games to play. Access was easy and everything worked as expected. We enjoyed our stay at the lake house and would definitely go back again and recommend to others. The cottage provided our family with a nice relaxing getaway which was exactly what we were looking for. ##### Robert A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra M. Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was very nice, clean and had everything as explained. I definitely got a workout getting from the house to the dock. That was the only drawback. Even though we spent everyday on the dock or in the pond. Our hosts were available if we needed any thing but they actually have everything you need there. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c69868a4-d488-4639-8bba-e1163d9c6f27-1755562345879.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81ad2129-3c94-4c40-8222-0638a56b1481-1755562354885.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sandra M.

Provided plenty of lake accessories so you would need to pack minimal equipment. The pictures are a little deceiving as you are on top of a steep hill with Route 39 (which is busy) between the house and dock. We brought our dogs who are well behaved and stay pretty close. I would be concerned if my dog did not have good recall or young children. However, being situated on top of the hill provides a nice view! ##### Ashley K.

The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated with gorgeous pond views. Outside was perfect for kids, with plenty of play space, a fire pit, outdoor lighting, and a grill. The icing on the cake was the dock and kayaks. We spent hours fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We also rented a paddleboard from Candlewood Kayak Rental, which was 2 minutes down the road (they delivered, which was very convenient). The location was also perfect. Very close to parks, beaches, and the center of New Fairfield, which has restaurants, shops, and s Stop & Shop. Our hosts were phenomenal as well!! Very warm and welcoming and just a text away if we needed anything. I highly recommend this property. We'll definitely be back! My kids were sad to have to leave :) ##### Brooke F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael V. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy Property not as described. We enjoyed our stay with the cottage's wonderful view of Squantz pond, but a lot was misrepresented in the property description. The property was not child friendly: no kids games, books, dinnerware, nor playground. Bunkbeds did not have safety railings and a very steep front yard led directly a busy road. To access the lake you need to cross a dangerous road and go down a precarious path. This made actually using the kayaks a very serious challenge (and potentially dangerous). The property was also not cleaned when we arrived despite a 4pm check-in. We contacted the property manager who resolved this, but we were still unable to use the property until 6pm. Additionally, there was a bug problem during our stay with ants, flies, and cockroaches being found in all rooms during our stay.Despite these issues, we did actually have a nice time and enjoyed our stay. However, we thought that the property wasn't worth what we paid and suspect the property managers don't actually visit the home or understand its needs and issues. ##### Michael V.
