Property not as described. We enjoyed our stay with the cottage's wonderful view of Squantz pond, but a lot was misrepresented in the property description. The property was not child friendly: no kids games, books, dinnerware, nor playground. Bunkbeds did not have safety railings and a very steep front yard led directly a busy road. To access the lake you need to cross a dangerous road and go down a precarious path. This made actually using the kayaks a very serious challenge (and potentially dangerous). The property was also not cleaned when we arrived despite a 4pm check-in. We contacted the property manager who resolved this, but we were still unable to use the property until 6pm. Additionally, there was a bug problem during our stay with ants, flies, and cockroaches being found in all rooms during our stay.Despite these issues, we did actually have a nice time and enjoyed our stay. However, we thought that the property wasn't worth what we paid and suspect the property managers don't actually visit the home or understand its needs and issues.

Beautiful Property with everything you need!
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.

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.

Perfect quiet space
We stayed here for work event and the location was perfect. Not too close, not too far away. Its snowed one evening but the driveway was not slippery at all. The house was very clean and kept in order. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and bathroom. The operational fireplace was also an added bonus.

Everything was great except the key pad. Many times I couldn’t lock the house when I left and I couldn’t open it a couple of times. Otherwise the house is adorable, comfortable and clean.

An Amazing Cottage
My family and I stayed here for a few days while skiing at Thunder Ridge. Would definitely come back in the spring or summer to enjoy kayaking on the pond and hiking along local trails. Highly recommend this cottage.

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!

Bathroom
Main and only complaint was that had to keep playing with the handle of the toilet every time flushed or it would keep running. Very annoying. And just felt food items. ( pancake mix ect) should be tossed. Safety and health purposes . Otherwise very enjoyable. Stay

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.

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 :)
