Vacation rentals with lake access in New Haven County

If you're looking for a cute little cottage in the woods near the lake to recharge and relax - this is it! KC provided an extensive list of instructions and to know's, which made check in/check out and all the in-between fool proof. KC was super friendly and responsive as well!

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

We had an amazing time at the lakehouse! Tim and Marissa are super communicative and left many helpful directions! The property is beautiful and the house felt like home away from home! I can't wait to go back! 10/10 recommended 😊

Wilma’s home is a Simple space, comfortable and clean. A good value and fantastic location for visiting Litchfield. Walk to the corner for a great coffee shop, really good restaurants on the green too! Hiking at White memorial and go poking around at nearby vintage and antique places.

We had a wonderful weekend at Aude's home in Essex. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was immaculate. It is a 7 minute drive to the center of town, which was convenient. The host was very responsive and quick to fix any concerns we brought to her attention. I would definitely return to this Airbnb!

Our stay included spending family time in front of the fireplace watching Disney shows and with time spent enjoying meals around the cozy kitchen table. Enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back one day

My wife, friends, and I had an awesome time, and Thomas is very thoughtful. Second time renting from him, and last time I mentioned we made smores. For my wife, it was her first time. Guess what? He left us a smores kit! Thanks again, Thomas!

A spacious property in a wonderful location. The house was exactly as advertised. Karen is an excpetionally responsive host. Our family (6 adults, 4 children) felt entirely comfortable there, and the kids especially enjoyed the pool.

The apartment was just what I was looking for - quiet, clean, well-situated to shops and places to eat. Alex responds quickly to questions or requests. I was very happy to stay here.

good , exactly what is described

Margie’s place is an amazing hidden gem. The inside is very clean and comfortable. The outside is an experience of its own. The lake will drop your blood pressure immediately. Gorgeous surroundings. The dogs are friendly and lovable. We will be back! 👍🏼

We had a great weekend. Apartment was exactly as described and spotless.

Ricardo’s place was truly incredible. It’s such a cozy, clean and convenient spot located in a very good area. Had everything you need and have a very home-like feel. I was visiting my girlfriend for our anniversary and the weather wasn’t the greatest outside but that didn’t bother us one bit. We were comfortable cooking and eating at home and we had everything to make that happen. Ricardo and his wife were so kind and flexible with us. We would love to come back in the summertime and fully enjoy their spot again because there are great views in the backyard by the water. Well worth the price of admission. Thank you Ricardo and family. We will definitely be back if you’ll have us! Cheers 🥂

Kimberly was a wonderful host. She promptly answered any questions we had concerning the reservation. She made sure our stay was comfortable. She even went above beyond by leaving complimentary snacks.

Great stay! The apartment was super clean and just as described. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We were even allowed to check in early, which made things so much easier. Would definitely recommend!

Michelle was a terrific host. Always very helpful and quick to respond. The apartment looked just like the pictures very clean and practical. Id definitely recommend and will definitely be back

Very nice lake house with great Autumn views

Had a really wonderful time here for my friends’ trip. Kimberly was a communicative and amazing host, and the cottage was clean and well-stocked. The location is also perfect if you are hoping to enjoy some peace and relaxation, with nearby parks and trails available for exploration.

We had a beautiful serene weekend. David was awesome! Our house was lovely, very clean and spacious. We enjoyed kayaking and catching the beautiful sunrise. We would definitely love to come back!

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.

What a lovely place!! My boyfriend and I had a great time sitting by the lake, going to the beach, and biking around in Southold. Larry was very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

This is a charming and spacious cottage with a tranquil and airy feel. The clean white interiors, coupled with the art and fresh flowers provided in every room by this lovely host will elevate your spirit. It’s private, yet offers the opportunity to mingle with the family who own this property and live nearby. You are welcome to wander among the flowers in their multiple greenhouses. Expect to see Blue Jays on your windowsill and Squirrels bounding up the many trees that lie right outside your kitchen window. Truly inspiring hiking is one of the many local attractions that this ‘cabin in the woods’ retreat has to offer. 5 stars.

Really lovely spot right on the water! Would highly recommend for couples or a family. Corryn was a fantastic communicator and gave very clear directions. Looking forward to booking again!

Our stay at Kathleen’s home was truly unforgettable. The house is beyond beautiful — nestled right by the lake, it made it so easy to take a quick swim with the water at the perfect temperature. The sun filled the living room with such a warm, elegant glow, and even during the cloudy, rainy moments, the space felt incredibly cozy as we listened to the gentle raindrops outside. Kathleen was super responsive and so friendly throughout the entire process. Her clear instructions and thoughtful rules made everything smooth and stress-free, which meant the world to us during our wedding weekend. I honestly can’t thank her enough for allowing us to stay in her gorgeous home. Whether it's sunny or rainy, this house is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, magical escape!
