- "Very clean which is important to me." - "Would definitely stay again! Clean spacious room with comfortable beds and a river view too! Staff was friendly upon arrival. " - "The hotel is only rated 2 stars, but the reviews that I read before booking were all positive so I took a chance. I'm very glad I did. The room was very neat, clean and odorless. There was a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker which was convenient. We even had a view of the river which was nice. I gave lower stars for customer service because I tried to call the hotel before we left to ask a question and no one answered the phone after several tries. I realize they may be short-staffed and can't stay at the front desk but they should carry a cell phone to answer any calls. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this hotel. "

This beautiful 1905 New England Cottage, that was once a local bakery, is the perfect location to enjoy Connecticut, fun local excursions and activities. Hiking trails are around the corner, and a lake surrounded by rolling, golden hills is 3 minutes down the road, perfect for kayaking. So come and relax, reconnect with nature, or do both! A complimentary, chilled bottle of Prosecco will be waiting for you!

This fully remodeled, light filled, 1900 sqft home includes two working fireplaces, a large Great room, spacious living, dining, and sleeping areas, a dedicated office space, a laundry room, a patio, and a back deck. Its lay-out is convenient, with two bedrooms 2 steps up from the main floor. The bedrooms feature fresh, European style bedding. The twin beds downstairs have new green tea-infused mattresses, the sheets are manufactured by women-owned businesses, and the guest toiletries are all natural and infused with essential oils. Every bedroom has beautiful views of the park-like grounds. The fully equipped, large kitchen with spacious dining area makes it fun to cook and gather, and the private back deck and small front patio are perfect for morning breakfast and evening cocktails! There is fast WiFi and a smart TV in the living room, and, just in case you want to disconnect from it all, a great selection of board games and puzzles, books and magazines. There is also a basket with arts and crafts activities for children. Two functioning fireplaces, one in the kitchen and one in the living room, will bring a special ambiance to your evenings. To start you off, we will supply one deck box full of wood. After that, you are free to collect wood from the property yourself.

(There are also baby supplies, such as a crib, a bassinet, a highchair, and a pack & play.)

This New England Cape sits on what was once a sheep farm. The family who owned the land 200 years ago held Dorset sheep, hence the property's name, and as you explore the area, you will see street names that reflect the history of the property. The barn of the main house still has the troughs where they would feed the animals. At one point, the guest house was a local bakery, and an oven in the basement is witness to that venture. The entire property is surrounded by a wooded Land Reserve, ensuring privacy. We have deer, wild turkeys, and hawks that regularly visit our grounds, and from time to time a red fox will cross the property.

The Center of Brookfield and neighboring towns with their restaurants are between a 5- and 15-minute drive away. Kent Falls, the towns of Kent and Litchfield, at the foot of the Berkshire mountains, are a scenic 40-50 minutes away. Other charming towns close to us (within a 15-mile radius) include Newtown, Bridgewater, Roxbury, and New Milford. There are many restaurants, shops, and art galleries around. The Elephant's Trunk, the famous flea market held on Sundays in New Milford from May to October, is a 10-minute drive away.

We live in the main house on the property, and we will leave you as much privacy as you desire. We are always happy to guide you to our favorite local eateries, the hiking trails, access to the lake, and other local activities.

We are multi-lingual, and apart from English, speak Dutch, French, Swedish, and German.

The main floor, which has french doors leading out to the lake, has a 9 foot rustic farm table that all can break bread together. The fully stocked kitchen with all of the comforts of home has a butcher block countertop and stainless appliances. A big cozy couch (which is a sleep sofa) can seat many to either hangout or watch a good movie on the TV that is mounted over the other fireplace.

Behind the sliding barn door is a bar area with a half bath and a perfect area for cocktails and conversation. Toys, games and other goodies for your littles are in the back area to keep your little ones occupied. A bar complete with barstools and plenty of storage for your weekly supplies during your stay.

While we could go on about the house... the community has plenty to offer to families. Just a short walk is a ball field, and bocci and horseshoe courts. Jungle gym, hoops court as well as a tennis court if you want to get away for an hour or so. The beach in the front of the house is the best though. Walk the kids down, and set up for the day.

Minimums: 6 night stay mid-May through Labor day

- "Perfect in every way. We loved everything about this lake house. The owners have done an amazing job of creating the perfect oasis for fun AND relaxation. Highly recommend." - "unanimous (including 2 year old) absolutely perfect rating. this home had more than everything you could want for vacation. the lake was wonderful for the three little ones--two, five and seven. family oriented location. really good local restaurants. dont think we could have picked a betterplace for our family to stay."

Best view of the lake! This home has gone through a major make-over and has been transformed to a place you aren’t going to want to leave. With it’s amazing deck and direct access to the lake - there will be so much to do as a family or with friends. It’s a perfect get-a-way to recharge and rejuvenate. The convenience of shopping, eating out, or just walking around town is only 12 min away. The house will be fully equipped along with Kayaks, to enjoy your stay on this beautiful lake!

- "I’m going to be honest! I was initially worried about going due to an update receive by the owner the day of check in. We showed up and what seemed like a mountain, became a molehill. He mentioned a few things needed repair, on check in day which I was not happy about, but they were so insignificant due to all the other amenities, and the location, the views, the beautiful kitchen, the comfortable bed, the privacy, the water actives, and getting to fish off the dock ect, ect, ect! Those are the things that made are stay one of the absolute BEST mini vacations ever! I will say the outdoor grill was either clogged or not working properly and needs repairing or to be replaced. That’s pretty common with grills, not surprising though. We were able to use the gas stove/oven which cooked quickly, and efficiently, and sufficed our personal needs. Overall our stay was a 5. Too many good things to worry about the small. Thank you Vico ! We enjoyed the vacation thoroughly and would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a peaceful stay, connect with nature and a comfortable and large enough space to enjoy your family and friends."

- "Perfect!" - "What a great house and amazing location. We spent a fantastic, fun filled weekend with friends and their 2 children doing all the lakeside activities you'd hope for - swimming, canoeing, barbecuing, s'mores around the firepit and generally relaxing. Michael, the host, couldn't have been more helpful. Just one other thing to share - the garden is pretty steep (as the photos clearly show, so no complaints) which is a minor work out for people such as myself to get back up to the house from the lake - all in all, not a bad thing, it helped to justify that extra beer!"

- "Had a great time at this beautiful lake house in CT. There were 8 of us in our group and felt that we had plenty of space. Loved the dock by the lake- had so much fun fishing, swimming and just lounging around. We rented a few kayaks for a couple days which were delivered to the house. Lesley (owner) was so friendly and helpful every step of the way from check in to check out. There were helpful messages throughout the house that explained everything you needed to know…so organized! I will definitely plan a return trip."

The place was clean, comfortable, and modern. Saleem was very helpful and accommodating. The apartment is attached to the main house, but it was so quiet and peaceful in our space. We would definitely stay here again!" - "The home is very much as it looks on Vrbo. It's very nicely decorated and spacious for 2 people, yet cozy. The owner was very easy to communicate with and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Much thought was put into accessories. We would have liked more time to enjoy a stroll around the property, but our schedule didn't allow it. Great place for one or two people. It's a nice spot on a country road, with a babbling brook, yet nearby several New England downtowns."

- "Rarely when traveling are my expectations exceeded but I would rate this property a 10! The cottage is like a storybook and decorated perfectly. From the second we walked in, it was 90 degrees but the central AC was blasting away. The grounds were perfect, the pool was perfect, the cozy kitchen, the cute bathroom and Geoff and Mieke gave us such a warm welcome. We definitely hope to be back often." - "Just minutes from Newtown, yet completely in the quiet of the beautiful Connecticut countryside…. We totally enjoyed our stay!

- "We really enjoyed this spacious home in its beautiful setting. The many bedrooms and bathrooms accommodated our 11 adults/ 2 children family very well. Everyone loved the heated pool which we used even in the rain, the game room with fun activities for “kids” of all ages, the well-organized kitchen, large dining room, and the theatre with its great seating and terrific sound system. Beth was a wonderful host responding to questions whenever we needed answers. Maybe next time the weather will enable us to use the lake also! A great family place!"

The kids are crazy about the game room. We are never bored, so much to do. I miss having our morning coffee on the dock. Views are fabulous." - "Perfect house for a family Lake vacation" - "We just had the most magical 10 days. The house was perfect, the location and views were amazing.

- "Charming cottage in a great location! Had everything we needed. New Fairfield and surrounding areas have great restaurants and take out options! Highly recommend a stay in Candlewood lake." - "We absolutely loved our stay! The home was very clean and well outfitted with even some extra special touches, which were very appreciated. The kids spend the days and nights fishing from the dock, while we paddle boarded, kayaked and grilled by the fire pit at night. My only regret is that we could not have had more time there! We absolutely loved everything and truly hope to come back again soon!"

Named one of the best Airbnbs in CT by Business Insider, The Little Lake Cabin is the perfect place to soak in the magic of nature by relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the lake. The cabin is a place to slow down and reconnect. Spend your days on the lake, exploring nearby towns, wineries & antique shops & your nights in the hot tub, by the fire pit roasting s`mores and gazing up at the stars.

Find us on IG @thelittlecabins

Our renovated 1940s cabin is located in a small lake community across from Candlewood lake, and the property backs up to the woods of Squantz Pond State Park. Although we have neighbors, with a 6ft privacy fence on either side of the property and the trees and mountain behind the cabin, you will feel as if you are secluded in the woods without being far from everything you need.

You will have seasonal beach/lake access during your stay, where you can grab our kayaks for an epic day out on the water or spend your day relaxing on the beach. We have 2 single kayaks and a double kayak for you to use. (Late April- late October) The lake is 3 mins away, and Squantz Pond is only 1 min away.

Outside features include a wood fired stone fire pit (s`mores essentials included), Weber BBQ grill, a patio with a large outdoor dining table with plenty of seating, an outdoor shower (open Late April-November) perfect for rinsing off a day at the lake, and a hot tub open year round ready to make your evening even more relaxing. You can even take the kayaks out on the lake for a fun-filled day on the water. You’ll have seasonal views of the lake and surrounding mountains (late fall/winter) but can enjoy the sounds of boats on the water most of the year. The outdoor space truly turns into a quiet magical place as the sun begins to set.

Inside, our cozy cabin has tons of natural light, perfect for quiet mornings. The living room exudes relaxation and comfort with a large couch, electric fireplace, and TV with all the streaming services you’d need. If you want to unplug you`ll find plenty of board games and books.
The stylish and cute kitchen is complete with everything you’d need during your stay. With sustainability in mind, the beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower is stocked with Public Goods toiletries, and cozy robes will be waiting to make your stay even more relaxing.
There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds, closets, and comfortable bedding. You’ll wake up to the sounds of birds, and rustling leaves from the woodland animals that visit in the mornings.

**Please note**— The cabin is small (just under 500 sqft) Its coziness makes for a very unique stay and as many guests have said— it’s small but mighty! You definitely won’t be lacking with amenities and the sounds of nature around you.

The cabin is meant for making memories to carry with you.
We can’t wait to make your stay magical!

—We have a wildflower lawn on the left side of the property. During the summer and fall there are tall grasses and flowers, so if the lawn looks a little wild, that’s why! We are trying to support our pollinators!!

—There is parking for 1 or 2 cars. Absolutely NO street parking. The lake communities have narrow roads, so street parking will block access to our neighbor`s driveway.

—We are pet friendly, but kindly ask you to let us know if you would like to bring any pets.

—The nearby beaches do not allow pets in the summer. Squantz Pond allows dogs October- April. We are always happy to provide pet friendly recommendations, so just let us know!

—Squantz Pond charges a parking fee for out of state plates from April-October

—The ductless AC & Heat is in the main living space, it keeps the cabin quite cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We recommend leaving the bedroom and bathroom door open whenever possible to allow for maximum airflow to those spaces.

—The cabin is in the woods, so please expect to see animals, bugs & insects during your stay. That’s the price we pay for being in nature :-)

—The cabin is pet friendly, and although the it is thoroughly cleaned before each stay we cannot guarantee it will be 100% allergen free. If you have pet allergies please keep this in mind when booking and contact us with any questions!

—The refrigerator is from 1947 and original to the house, it’s super charming but does have some limitations. The freezer is more of an icebox and often freezes over. It’s small and will hold trays of ice/frozen pizza/popsicles. We do provide a yeti-type cooler outside to store all your frozen goods! All you need is ice :-)

—The cabin is in a small lake community, and we do have neighbors on either side. Our property is pretty wooded so it is and feels very private, but be aware that the cabin is not extremely secluded in the woods.

—The cabin is small, and not suitable for more than 4 people. We love its coziness!!

—The roads in our community are very narrow. Please be mindful of the speed limit, and other cars that may need to pass.

—The outdoor shower is open seasonally— Late April- Late October/ Early November

—We DO NOT provide firewood for the fire pit, although sometimes previous guests leave anything leftover. Stop & Shop and the Food Center in town usually have bundles for sale, as well as gas stations nearby.
