Across the road but part of our property there are kayaks are at the waters edge for easy use with life vests for all ages infant to adult! Sit back on our dock and experience an oasis of peace and serenity by the lake. The sundeck, which overlooks the lake has a grill and plenty of seating to enjoy the outdoors and soak up the sun and gorgeous sunsets. At night, flip on the outdoor string lights and enjoy the astonishing ambiance. The yard is large and has a fire-pit and Adirondack chairs so you can cozy up and enjoy some s’mores.

Working vacation? No problem! We’ve got you covered with an office desk setup to work from while looking directly out at the water! It is OK to work on vacation, as long as you do it right!

Conveniently located via Route 39 just an hour and twenty minutes from NYC. Driveway can fit multiple vehicle's. Plenty of room if you are towing a boat, jet-skis, quads, or RV's. Boat launch is just .5 miles away! Launch the boat and dock it at the dock in Squantz Pond. Or, you can go down the road a bit to Candlewood Lake where there is also a boat launch.

This property has a 2nd cottage completely separate from this main house to the right on the same land, the total property in 2.8 acres each having 1.4 acres. Which is also a rental on VRBO, so other guests may be seen or pass through to access the kayaks and/or boat dock that are shared spaces with this home. The dock accommodates 2 boats so there is no problem if the other guest happens to be there at the same time with their boat - but that is an extremely rare occurrence.

If this is booked, rest assured! We also have two more very similar sister properties less than a mile down the road! You can search the below two listing titles to find them and verify myself, Eric Walsh, as the host. It is my #1 priority to provide you with the 5 star quality service and experience you deserve!

We look forward to hosting you at Eagle View Cottage or any of our sister properties!

This was a quaint little cabin to nestled in the perfect spot. I witnessed the wildlife and deer right next to the porch I was sitting on while it was snowing and looking out over the lake. The tv was very user friendly and the water in the shower got nice and hot. The linens were clean and the blankets were warm and cozy. One of the only downsides were the baseboard heaters were super loud and tapped and knocked all day and night which kept me up almost every night I stayed- a fan to drown out the noise would have been great and to circulate the heat.

Nice house by the lake

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is walking distance from the lake and a good break for anyone trying to escape the bustle of NYC. The house was very clean and we felt safe and comfortable here’s the outdoor fire pit was a very nice touch.

I was pleasantly surprised! The house looked even better in person than it did in the photos. It is warm and comfortable and they had everything we needed to enjoy our time away. The house was clean and the surrounding property was well maintained. I would love to come back in the spring/summer to enjoy more of the outdoors.

Great stay to be so close to the lake. Provided plenty of lake accessories so you would need to pack minimal equipment. The pictures are a little deceiving as you are on top of a steep hill with Route 39 (which is busy) between the house and dock. We brought our dogs who are well behaved and stay pretty close. I would be concerned if my dog did not have good recall or young children. However, being situated on top of the hill provides a nice view!

Enjoyable Stay

We took a last minute trip to end the summer. House was very clean - small cottage but functional. The house is across the street from the waterfront. Canoes and dock were enjoyed by all. They are shared with the neighboring property, but there were plenty of canoes, paddles, life preservers, etc. Owners were very respondent. Recommended.

A beautiful place and a beautiful setting. We would definitely stay again. A couple things you should be aware of though. If you have mobility issues or maybe are just really out of shape you will struggle getting the kayaks and lounge chairs down the steep driveway across the road and down the steep steps to the dock. Getting them down isn’t too bad but getting them back up to the house takes some real effort. Would be nice if the kayaks could just be left down near the dock. There’s a nice fire pit with chairs but they don’t supply any wood. Not sure why. Seems like they could provide enough for at least one evening fire. Also, there’s a gas grill but no gas. You need to supply your own propane. Definitely a first for me at a VRBO. Also, there’s a K-cup coffee machine but they don’t supply any k-cups. Again, would be a simple and inexpensive touch to supply a bunch. Also, there’s a cool theater style popcorn maker but they don’t supply any popcorn and oil. Again, a simple and inexpensive thing they could provide.These things won’t keep us from staying again but they are simple improvements that would take them to the next level of VRBO hosts.

Wonderful House with Beautiful Views and Pond Access

What a fantastic property! The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated with gorgeous pond views. Outside was perfect for kids, with plenty of play space, a fire pit, outdoor lighting, and a grill. The icing on the cake was the dock and kayaks. We spent hours fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We also rented a paddleboard from Candlewood Kayak Rental, which was 2 minutes down the road (they delivered, which was very convenient). The location was also perfect. Very close to parks, beaches, and the center of New Fairfield, which has restaurants, shops, and s Stop & Shop. Our hosts were phenomenal as well!! Very warm and welcoming and just a text away if we needed anything. I highly recommend this property. We'll definitely be back! My kids were sad to have to leave :)

Check-in was easy! Photos were misleading--there is lake access quite close by but it's across a busy road, so it wasn't as quiet or peaceful as I'd anticipated. House had all that we needed, including some leftover propane for the grill (owners do not provide due to previous issues). Washer and dryer a bit old but functional. Shampoo and soaps on the budget side. Mattresses were comfortable. Overall, the house was nice, clean, and comfortable, but it definitely felt like a property used for vacation rentals in that it lacked some personal touches--I don't think the owners have ever stayed there. Could use a little more seating in the living room and kitchen seating would be better if it weren't benches. I felt that it cost too much for what it was, and I felt a bit duped by the photos.

The property was difficult to locate, though Katherine was very responsive and easy to reach for directions. The Google location could use an update to make finding it easier. The listing is somewhat misleading, as it gives the impression that the water is directly accessible from the property. In reality, you need to go down a very steep hill, cross a busy street, and descend unstable stairs to reach it. Using the kayaks would require carrying them down that hill and hauling them back up again, which isn’t practical.The yard was overgrown and not maintained, though the interior was clean and the beds were comfortable. It’s clear the house was flipped quickly, with little attention to detail. Road noise was noticeable at night, which made sleeping a bit difficult. Overall, the stay was fine, but there are several things future guests should be aware of.

Hiking Getaway

Eric’s place was cozy and clean with all amenities we needed. Bedrooms were cozy and roomy with comfortable mattresses. The full kitchen and Smart Tv rounded out a comfy, relaxed evening to drink wine and eat snacks from the nearby Stop and Shop. Unfortunately we could not use the beautiful fireplace due to the red flag warnings but it is a gorgeous focal piece! Our only issues were the directions on the VRBO site led us to a nearby property instead of the rental. We called the property manager and she gave us a landmark of an eagle lawn ornament which marked the actual property perfectly. We’d suggest putting that in the rental info online. Also the pictures suggest The cabin is waterfront and the lake is across a busy street. SPECTACULAR view but not quite accurate. Of course all in all we had a wonderful time at Eric’s place!

Great stay. Cottage is as pictured, and was very clean when we arrived. Check in was c easy as well. Someone in the main house at the same time we were in the cottage, but was never an issue with privacy. Pros: Views from cottage were beautiful. Especially at sunrise! Make sure to get up and go outside by the hammock. Plenty of hiking nearby, or main street type area. Even just driving and taking the fall scenery in was great. Make sure to do Pootatuck Forest and get to the overlook of Candlwood Lake- blue trail is longer and tougher than orange trail. Also want to mention that Eric and Katherine were responsive to issues we had. They quickly rectified a missing coffee maker and cookware that was unusable by door dashing a new coffee maker and cookware set so that our stay was enjoyable. They went above and beyond by doing this.Cons: We didn't realize a busy road was at the base of the driveway, but that could have been missed when we went through the listing, as we booked this last minute. Traffic noise was only an issue if outside, but not terrible when inside. Screened in porch could use an update- maybe an area rug for a more homier feel.
