Absolutely stunning! Our stay at this gorgeous house on Candlewood Lake in Connecticut was nothing short of magical. The home is beautifully decorated and features an abundance of windows that frame breathtaking views of the lake.From the moment we arrived, the owner went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. She was incredibly responsive and attentive, making us feel right at home. Whether it was providing local recommendations or ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay, her hospitality truly made a difference.Her house is simply amazing and the different levels of the home provide amble space away from your guests if needed also.
