Fabulous as always!
This was our second stay at the property and it was wonderful! The house is so cute and clean. Really feels like home. We cook up a storm in the kitchen and on the huge grill. 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.

We just had the most magical 10 days. The house was perfect, the location and views were amazing. Jocelyn was super helpful, responsive and was the best owner I’ve rented from. All the small touches really add up. The welcome packet, how clean everything was, directions and what to do around town.

Amazing city escape at Candlewood Lake
Our family had a much needed change of scenery at this stunning home right on Candlewood Lake. It had everything we needed for our stay, even in freezing temperatures! Everything was clean, super cozy and we had a blast roasting marshmallows and in the game room. Jocelynn was readily available with questions. Would love to return since it’s such an easy trip from NYC. Thank you!

Great Thanksgiving Stay
The house is as advertised, a well maintained home and property on a quiet, one-lane street. We made a last minute booking for a Thanksgiving getaway and Jocelyn was quick to respond and accommodate us. I packed most of my cooking equipment just in case but I could have left about 90% of it home as the kitchen is well stocked and organized. Small travel shampoos and soaps etc were provided throughout, so there was a bit of that hotel convenience with the comfort of a home. There isn't a bad bed or room in the house, beds are all very comfortable, and our boys ages 5 & 3 enjoyed sleeping in the bunk bed room downstairs. I did notice the house was well setup for families with smaller children/babies if that's a concern for someone considering rental (retractable baby gates installed at the stairs, on-suite nursery room in master bedroom, high chair etc). Even in colder weather we were able to enjoy the backyard and terrace with the fire pit and propane heater, and the hot tub was fantastic as well, already heated up and ready to roll when we got there. We would love to come back in swimming weather, great view off the dock and lots of float toys & games in the shed. Plenty to do in foul weather too, board games/puzzles and the garage game room help pass the time easily!

About the host

Hosted by Jocelynn Rosell

Host profile image
After many years of taking annual family trips to different lakes with grandparents, 3 siblings, their significant others, and 3 children (That's 8 adults and 3 children!), we decided Candlewood Lake was the perfect spot for a permanent vacation home.

Visiting many different lakes and homes helped us to create a wish list for our lakeside retreat. With this home, it was love at first sight and we remodeled it with those wish list thoughts in mind.

Our family enjoys the home's fun spaces where everyone can gather and the more intimate spaces to relax -- and we hope yours does too. And we remember the days of lugging around all of the baby gear so we tried to stock up so parents don't have to do so much packing up!

We're happy to share our happy place with you!
