Nestled in the snow-dusted foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Connecticut's picturesque Litchfield Hills, this is your exclusive basecamp for hitting the slopes. Escape to a perfectly preserved corner of Southern New England, where fresh powder and tranquility await. Fresh Tracks & Slow Mornings Start your morning right with a steaming Nespresso, wrapped in a plush blanket as you watch the sunrise hit the frozen lake. That first sip of coffee is the perfect, peaceful fuel before you chase fresh powder. You're set for easy access to the area's best local hills: • Mohawk Mountain: For classic New England trails and night skiing. • Catamount Mountain Resort: For steep runs and a vibrant mountain atmosphere. • Thunder Ridge: For quick laps and easy-going turns. The Ultimate Après-Ski Sanctuary When your muscles crave a break from the mountain, immerse yourself in total quiet comfort and luxury at the Spa at Winvian Farm or spend a perfect afternoon wandering the quintessential New England towns of Kent and New Preston exploring unique shops, bookstores and galleries. Rest for the Next Run Swap your boots for slippers and come home to a sanctuary of pure warmth. The open-concept heart of the home is designed for cozy evenings by the fire with a glass of wine or a decadent hot cocoa while the snow piles up outside the window. When the fire dies down, sink under heavy, fluffy comforters on any of the six beds and fall asleep to the absolute silence of a snowy New England night, waking up refreshed and ready for another day of powder and peace. Your winter retreat is waiting. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94780000/94775200/94775128/618d1a43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakehouse Boat Dock, Kayaks, Fire-Pit, Pool Table, Air Hockey, Hammock, King Bed New Fairfield - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=94775128&PinnedHotelID=94775128&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113910000/113905400/113905396/a31edc8d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enchanting Lake front chalet with backyard and fire pit.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn M. 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful girls’ weekend here-- 5 childhood friends! The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was very modern and great for cooking together, and the beds were so comfy! We loved the gathering spaces—we sat on the dock with a beautiful lake view and relaxed around the cozy firepit. We also visited the White Silo Winery (just two minutes down the road!) for wine & live music, and had the best brunch at American Pie. We can’t wait to come back to this peaceful spot! ##### Robyn M.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was ideal for visiting family and exploring the area. Sherman is super nice. And the house had everything we needed and charm to spare. It was winter, so we didn't make use of the lake, but when it snowed one morning, the scene was gorgeous. Thanks! ##### sarah s. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danna E. 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home on Candlewood Lake! So glad we stayed at this lovely, cozy home on Candlewood Lake over a winter weekend. The lakefront house is charming on the outside and fully updated on the inside with a fresh, modern aesthetic. The hosts have thought of every detail and amenity to make guests feel welcome right away. Super-comfortable beds, great kitchen island to sip coffee around, and cool amenities (we loved the espresso machine!). Easy check-in and responsive hosts who are obviously invested in their guests having a comfortable stay in Sherman. So much to do in the area - don't miss New Preston, Port Washington, New Milford, and Kent - hiking, great restaurants, shopping, rolling hills and farms. Can't wait to return! ##### Danna E.
