Candlewood Lake Retreat with year round views

The Valley Ridge Lodge is a 3 bedroom, one bath home overlooking Candlewood Lake. It features a large wrap around deck with entertaining space. The home is located within a private lake community with beach and lake access.

Our cozy lodge has lots to offer inside. Large bay window brings in natural light with open views of the lake from the living room. Open concept living space with brick fire place, tv, streaming services, stereo surround sound system, comfortable couch, futon and leather recliner to enjoy time with family or relax and enjoy the quiet mornings admiring the views.

Our open cute resourceful kitchen is complete with everything you will need to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or cook a nice evening meal as well as the washer and dryer with all necessities. The French doors off the kitchen will lead you to an outdoor living space. Away from the entertainment areas, on the opposite side of the living room you will find a fresh, bright bathroom with a shower and large tub. Wake up to the sound of nature with birds singing and direct view of the lake from our comfortable queen bed in the master bedroom.

Outdoor you will find a stone fire pit, gas BBQ grill, wrap around deck with dining table, conversational set to relax, unwind, enjoy views of the lake and beautiful sunsets over the tree tops of the shore lines. The outdoor space is truly one magical place to relax and soak in the lake life from sunrise to sunset.

You will have seasonal beach/lake access during your stay less than a quarter of a mile down the street. Spend a relaxing day on the beach, enjoy a picnic by the water, play at the community play ground and take in all the lake has to offer.

We can't wait to share our space with you. The lodge is a perfect place for a quaint lake retreat and to make memories in the surrounding environment that candlewood lake has to offer while being a short ride away from the picturesque downtown of New Milford.

Wonderful lake view home!
Everything about the house was great! It matched the pictures and descriptions on the website. The house was comfortable and well accommodated. We really enjoyed sitting on the wrap-around porch with our dog watching the lake.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful little home. It was pleasantly quiet and secluded, but was just minutes away from some wonderful restaurants and just a short walk to the lake. The hosts were just so responsive and accommodating. We also had one day of rainy weather, which afforded us the opportunity to simply stay in and relax. The kitchen had all of the amenities we could have asked for. The seating area on the deck was spacious and comfortable. We are certainly looking forward to a return trip here next year. It was a very nice find for us and for our family.

Wonderful home away from home!
The lake house was lovely, clean, and quiet. We had a beautiful view of the lake, too. Our hosts were so kind and helpful. It showed several inches while we were there. First thing, our hosts had the walks shoveled, parking area cleard, and even brushed off our cars! The home was clean, well appointed, attractive, and very comfortable. We were so lucky to have found this jewel.

Great Lake getaway
This lake house was perfect for our family of 4. It was a wonderful getaway to end the summer. The property was so quaint and just as advertised but really cute, in a way you can’t capture on film. Relaxing on the deck after a day on the quiet beach was so perfect and the lake was beautiful. We loved it!
