The Little Lake Cabin with hot tub

Named one of the best Airbnbs in CT by Business Insider, The Little Lake Cabin is the perfect place to soak in the magic of nature by relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the lake. The cabin is a place to slow down and reconnect. Spend your days on the lake, exploring nearby towns, wineries & antique shops & your nights in the hot tub, by the fire pit roasting s`mores and gazing up at the stars.

Our renovated 1940s cabin is located in a small lake community across from Candlewood lake, and the property backs up to the woods of Squantz Pond State Park. Although we have neighbors, with a 6ft privacy fence on either side of the property and the trees and mountain behind the cabin, you will feel as if you are secluded in the woods without being far from everything you need.

You will have seasonal beach/lake access during your stay, where you can grab our kayaks for an epic day out on the water or spend your day relaxing on the beach. We have 2 single kayaks and a double kayak for you to use. (Late April- late October) The lake is 3 mins away, and Squantz Pond is only 1 min away.

Outside features include a wood fired stone fire pit (s`mores essentials included), Weber BBQ grill, a patio with a large outdoor dining table with plenty of seating, an outdoor shower (open Late April-November) perfect for rinsing off a day at the lake, and a hot tub open year round ready to make your evening even more relaxing. You can even take the kayaks out on the lake for a fun-filled day on the water. You’ll have seasonal views of the lake and surrounding mountains (late fall/winter) but can enjoy the sounds of boats on the water most of the year. The outdoor space truly turns into a quiet magical place as the sun begins to set.

Inside, our cozy cabin has tons of natural light, perfect for quiet mornings. The living room exudes relaxation and comfort with a large couch, electric fireplace, and TV with all the streaming services you’d need. If you want to unplug you`ll find plenty of board games and books.
The stylish and cute kitchen is complete with everything you’d need during your stay. With sustainability in mind, the beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower is stocked with Public Goods toiletries, and cozy robes will be waiting to make your stay even more relaxing.
There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds, closets, and comfortable bedding. You’ll wake up to the sounds of birds, and rustling leaves from the woodland animals that visit in the mornings.

**Please note**— The cabin is small (just under 500 sqft) Its coziness makes for a very unique stay and as many guests have said— it’s small but mighty! You definitely won’t be lacking with amenities and the sounds of nature around you.

The cabin is meant for making memories to carry with you.
We can’t wait to make your stay magical!

—We have a wildflower lawn on the left side of the property. During the summer and fall there are tall grasses and flowers, so if the lawn looks a little wild, that’s why! We are trying to support our pollinators!!

—There is parking for 1 or 2 cars. Absolutely NO street parking. The lake communities have narrow roads, so street parking will block access to our neighbor`s driveway.

—We are pet friendly, but kindly ask you to let us know if you would like to bring any pets.

—The nearby beaches do not allow pets in the summer. Squantz Pond allows dogs October- April. We are always happy to provide pet friendly recommendations, so just let us know!

—Squantz Pond charges a parking fee for out of state plates from April-October

—The ductless AC & Heat is in the main living space, it keeps the cabin quite cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We recommend leaving the bedroom and bathroom door open whenever possible to allow for maximum airflow to those spaces.

—The cabin is in the woods, so please expect to see animals, bugs & insects during your stay. That’s the price we pay for being in nature :-)

—The cabin is pet friendly, and although the it is thoroughly cleaned before each stay we cannot guarantee it will be 100% allergen free. If you have pet allergies please keep this in mind when booking and contact us with any questions!

—The refrigerator is from 1947 and original to the house, it’s super charming but does have some limitations. The freezer is more of an icebox and often freezes over. It’s small and will hold trays of ice/frozen pizza/popsicles. We do provide a yeti-type cooler outside to store all your frozen goods! All you need is ice :-)

—The cabin is in a small lake community, and we do have neighbors on either side. Our property is pretty wooded so it is and feels very private, but be aware that the cabin is not extremely secluded in the woods.

—The cabin is small, and not suitable for more than 4 people. We love its coziness!!

—The roads in our community are very narrow. Please be mindful of the speed limit, and other cars that may need to pass.

—The outdoor shower is open seasonally— Late April- Late October/ Early November

—We DO NOT provide firewood for the fire pit, although sometimes previous guests leave anything leftover. Stop & Shop and the Food Center in town usually have bundles for sale, as well as gas stations nearby.

***PET POLICY***
We love animals and wanted to allow pets in our cabin, but to do so we need to add a few rules.

-Please pick up after your pet in the yard.
-If something becomes broken or damaged you will be responsible for repairing/replacing it.
-Be aware that coyotes, foxes, and bears live in the area, so do not leave your pets unattended.
-Our neighbors have a dog that runs off leash—he is very friendly but keep in mind that you may see him.
-The town of New Fairfield requires you to keep your dog on a leash while outside during your stay.

These rules are in place for the safety of our guests and neighbors. We spent many months renovating the cabin and put so much into making it what it is, so we would like to keep it that way.

We understand that accidents happen, so we just ask that you treat our cabin as you would your own home.
