Holiday rentals with lake access in Litchfield County

A gem of a home if you’re looking for a waterfront property with great lake access. David’s home is well stocked with everything you need - from baking to cooking , from laundry to great choices of board games , a nice library if reading by the water is what you care to do . If you’re a bass fisherman like me , you have direct access to Squantz Pond, which can be a great fishing alternative to nearby Candlewood Lake. The property is close to the main road and traffic can be a nuisance to folks who are not used to it . City folks like me don’t mind it. David was a great host , very responsive . There was a slight miscommunication during check in , but that was taken care of right away . My family hopes to come back again . BTW, for those who don’t know how to play the piano , take some brief lessons before coming and impress your folks. Joe

Our getaway for the weekend was perfect! We enjoyed the home, pond and a nearby preserve for a hike. Thank you for the stay!

Very comfortable house - nice and airy. Great location just outside Lakeville. Highly recommend.

Very private and comfortable, would stay again. 👍

We had a great time, the location is great, right on the water and the fishing was even better. A very quiet lake and much bigger when you are out on it in the kayaks. I would surely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this location during my daughter’s graduation from Bard College. The location has beautiful views of the lake and the layout of the property was perfect for the family to gather and celebrate, while also giving everyone the space for their own quiet time or rest. I would definitely recommend this location and hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

This was the perfect place to relax after visiting family all day. Hector's place was clean, private, and peaceful. the drive way is a little hard to find but GPS will get you there fine. The airbnb had everything we needed and loved the back deck for grilling. highly recommend.

Enjoyed staying 4 nights. The house is beautifully designed and decorated with lots of natural light. Great location across the street from the Lake and walking distance to New Preston shops, coffee and restaurants. Enjoyed daily morning walks around the Lake. David was a great host- responds within minutes, easy check-in and check out. Highly recommend.

We spent a peaceful five days relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of this cabin. Steven graciously accepted our last minute reservation and also our request to extend our stay since we were having such a lovely time. No one was staying in the main house while we were there so we had the grounds to ourselves. The cabin itself is spotless and minimalist, with everything you need to cook in the modern kitchen or grill outside. We stayed with our pup and enjoyed walking him five minutes down the road to explore the town park (we had it to ourselves in mid-May but imagine it’s much busier during the summer). WiFi is super fast and we were able to work remotely without issue.

We loved the studio and felt right at home It was a perfect place to stay while exploring the Berkshires, close to both outdoor activities and the offerings of the town. We especially appreciated the beautiful view from the studio which enhanced rest and relaxation. Jill and Steve were great hosts. Highly recommend.

Pleasant stay in a clean, cozy space. There is a bit of noise from traffic on the nearby road, but not a big issue for us. Would stay here again.

A wonderful spot if you are traveling with a pup and looking for a convenient spot to explore Columbia county. I travel upstate a lot and this Airbnb is one of the nicer ones I have visited. The space was absolutely spotless!! Great dining space, and all the kitchen basics. The star of the show is definitely the fenced in yard. My dog was a huge fan!! The tub in the bathroom is also a nice amenity. Only things to consider, Phimont is a still a town in transition. Not somewhere I enjoy spending time. But there are tons of things nearby. Also, you do hear some noise from neighbors. Nothing that diminished our stay. I really appreciated how proactive and responsive Michelle and Jacopo were. Overall I would definitely recommend!

Great stay!!! Was impeccably cleaned and perfect location between rhinebeck, pine plains and close to the taconic! Arlene was super helpful with all questions and provided new sheets and towels through our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Great cozy spot to visit family, with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the highway. The apartment has a private entrance from the main house and has everything one would need for a stay.

We had a lovely relaxing time. The place was in a quiet, beautiful spot. Denise’s instructions were helpful and she was very welcoming. The place was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. We’d happily stay there again.

I spent the weekend at this beautiful lakeside apartment. The apartment is attached to the main home, but it is very private. There is a sloped driveway, that leads to the house. There is plenty of parking at the top near the street, and an individual space for guests, down pretty close to the door where to check-in, so I didn't have far to bring my luggage to my vehicle. My stay was so peaceful and allowed me some rest and relaxation. People were boating, fishing, and swimming in the lake. I enjoyed getting some sunshine on the upper balcony. Mark and Tina are the perfect hosts! They are the nicest couple you will ever meet. They made me feel right at home, including my dogs. Communication was excellent as any requests via text were immediately answered, and they were very flexible. I wish my stay was longer. I am hoping my schedule will allow me to return and stay again in the future. Thank you, Mark and Tina, for a wonderful weekend. I hope to see you again!

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

WOW! Could not have been a more perfect stay! The setting was so beautiful, serene and peaceful. We had lot's of activity paddle boarding, kayaking, BBQing! Most of the time we were the only people on the lake. Early June was a perfect time to be there. It was just such a gorgeous and relaxing setting. The house was fabulous for our family reunion and ideal for our adventurous 1 year old. Our host was simply amazing. He had items delivered to our door when we had questions...even sent us a bag of groceries to make Smores on the lake! We hope to make this an annual event! We'll definitely be back.

This place was wonderful. We were only there for a quick stay, and it was rainy, but that was ok because the cabin was so cute and cozy and fun. A bit of time sitting in the chairs out front in the morning with my coffee was exactly the quick weekend rejuvenation I needed. The cabin had everything we needed (and plenty of things we didn't need on this trip, but you might! I could see us playing board games or relaxing out on the back patio on a future trip.) A previous reviewer said this spot is what you expect an Airbnb to be, and that's exactly right. We picked it at first because it was convenient to a few Westchester things we needed to do, but we didn't want to drive home afterwards to CT on a summer Friday night. Spending this little bit of time in the Carmel area was genius because now we can't wait to go back there specifically for a real visit!

What a wonderful place to rest, relax, and maybe get a little bit of work done too. Home was perfect for the whole work from home situation with a extra monitor and everything. Also had a fully enclosed yard for the dogs. We spent the week up in Connecticut, in this wonderful home, that felt perfectly in between a hotel, and simply staying at a friend‘s house who was extremely clean, conscientious, and out of town. Would recommend to other others and will try to stay again.

Such a lovely home! actually better than I expected! Will definitely book again. It’s honestly a no brainer after staying there. I can recommend this place 100%!

A lovely home with beautiful views of the surrounding woods from each room. Very clean, modern, and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Mark provided detailed and useful info on the place and the surrounding area. A great spot if you’re looking for some peace and quiet close to all the local attractions of the Hudson Valley.

We loved the view out to the lake, which was different every day and throughout the day. The open layout of the house is great to enjoy the views, and if the weather is nice, there are great sitting areas outside as well. The house is well-stocked and cozy. The hosts are friendly and always responsive. There are also great parks to visit nearby. We had a great winter weekend and would love to stay again.

Thank you Ellen for the easeful stay at your cottage with clear instructions. The surroundings are beautiful. We saw an eagle at the lake!
