About this property
Direct Waterfront on Candlewood Lake with / boat slip/ hot tub & outdoor kitchen
Candlewood Lake waterfront home offering beautiful panoramic views from every corner. This house and property has western exposure where the sun slips behind the mountains nightly for a magical sunset. There is also an available boat slip for your use so you can explore what the lake has to offer. Waterfront is across the street. Multiple level patios lakeside with full outdoor commercial kitchen, pizza oven, and a wood firepit area. Plentiful seating and relaxing options outdoors. Watch the boats go by all day long, rent a boat or bring your own. Candlewood Lake is so beautiful and is fun to explore by water! We have two kayaks, and two paddle boards. At the house is a 6 person covered, private hot tub on the back patio deck. PLEASE read notes at the bottom of this description.
The lakeside patio is a great entertaining and gathering area for family. Enjoy morning coffee on the dock, prepare and enjoy dinner at the waterfront, do some fishing off the dock, or relax on the outdoor swing. At night light up the wood fire pit and toast some marshmallows in front of the fire while you enjoy your family time together.
Beautiful views of Candlewood Lake from the house from the living room, dining room, sunroom, master bedroom, and 1st floor front bedroom. Front facing deck also with amazing Candlewood lake views with bar height table, chairs, 4 Gloster relaxation chairs, and soothing stream about 10 feet away to set the mood.
Relax and watch the lake in the main floor living room with open loft above and gas fireplace. The main floor is very open, bright, and great for entertaining indoors. Granite countertops adorn the kitchen which is outfitted with high end commercial appliances and breakfast bar. The sunroom is our favorite room room in the house. Open the doors to get the breeze or turn on the ac for a cool, cozy, and entertaining night inside. A full bathroom and bedroom outfitted with luxury Cozy Earth bamboo sheets is also the main floor. One additional bedroom is an office and off limits.
Spacious master bedroom upstairs with seating for two. Sleep number bed in master bedroom to wake up refreshed and to the gorgeous Candlewood lake views or watch the moon shine on the lake at night. Large Master bath has a double sink, tile shower, and large jacuzzi tub. Cozy Earth waffle style luxury bath sheets are provided to give you a soft and cozy spa experience after using the shower or whirlpool tub.
The open loft is a great spot to catch the latest movie or watch TV. There is a 70" smart TV with wireless surround sound. There are three couches, two of which are sleeper sofas which comfortably sleep two each. Luxury Cozy Earth bamboo sheets will embrace you as you sleep.
The ground floor level has a third full bathroom, air hockey table, a gas fireplace, and Laundry area including ice machine. There is also a queen size sleeper sofa. The ice machine is great for filling up your coolers if you plan on spending a day at the lake. The microwave is also downstairs. No matter what season, if bad weather hits and a power loss occurs, don’t worry. The home is equipped with an automatic whole house generator.
The owners keep their boats/jet skis on the dock and may pass through the property to access them. They will wave and say hello but not disrupt your stay. If you need anything feel free to ask.

Our stay was fantastic! Nyree and Brian were incredibly kind and went out of their way to provide us with excellent tips about the area. The accommodation was comfortable and well-maintained, making our visit truly enjoyable.
Great location, beautiful view. Home has many cute, labor-saving and unique tech features. Front porch, dock and firepit are great places to gather and look at the stupendous view. Hosts are incredibly helpful and communicative.
Had a great time at the lake house. House was well done and the grounds were excellent. Beautiful spot on the lake. We brought our sons boat and we’re able to enjoy the lake all day. Brian and Nyree were very helpful with info on the lake and surrounding area. I definitely recommend choosing their property for your stay, you won’t be disappointed.
We had a lovely weekend away. The house was clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was spectacular!
Beautiful flowers and a perfect spot to enjoy the lake. Well equipped with everything we could need. We only stayed 2 nights. We would have taken advantage of outdoor kitchen steps from the dock if we had stayed longer.
Our hosts were welcoming and we appreciated all of the info they provided about the surrounding area.
Would definitely recommend!
We had an absolute blast staying at Nyree and Brian’s house. The location and lake front were stunning. Our family had a great time. We can’t wait to come back!
We had a great short stay. The house setup is amazing. Brian is a great guy and easy to work with. Read the full listing, everything is exactly how described. Great time
If you are looking for a weekend or week to relax and enjoy lakefront living - this should be a stop! The owner was helpful and thoughtful. The layout was excellent and it’s better than the photos. Looked great on line - it was better in person!
The house is immaculately kept and spares no attention to detail. The owners are as helpful and communicative as you’ll ever find, and are truly good people on top of it all. To me, a lake house is a place that makes you want to spend all of your time near or in the lake, and this place fits that description perfectly. What a great place to unwind!
The attention to detail in this waterfront home was exceptional! We can’t say enough about the home. The owners communicated quickly. If you’re a bourbon or jack Daniels lover (Harley Davidson too) you will appreciate the family’s collections. Very clean home with all essentials and then some! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!
My family and I loved staying at Brian’s home. Thoughtful touches throughout made our stay comfortable, and a sweet welcome basket. Top-notch hospitality. Morning coffee on the porch overlooking the lake was so peaceful. Kids loved swimming off the dock, and hanging out in the loft area. My husband enjoyed the gourmet kitchen!
Really, really clean... even behind-the-scenes things like the washing machine door and dryer lint trap were well-maintained. Labeled light switches (so helpful!), well-documented instructions made the house easy. Brian met me at check-in to walk me through and answer my questions. Prompt text correspondence.
Kids had to be careful crossing the busy road, but we didn’t find road noise an issue and we all slept well. A bit of a steep walk down to the water, but we didn’t mind getting our steps in. Life jackets and inflatable water toys that we could borrow!
Overall, a delightful stay, thank you again!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this stunning Candlewood Lake home. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the high-end touches everywhere- everything from the bowls to the electric garbage can felt thoughtfully chosen. Even the toilet seats were heated! The appliances were top-of-the-line, the light switches were clearly labeled, and the decor was beautiful and cohesive. Each morning, we loved having breakfast together as a family on the deck, soaking in the peaceful lake views. The grounds were beautifully maintained and landscaped, and the dock, with its tasteful lighting, created a magical evening atmosphere. The kids had a blast using their inflatable water toys, as well as all of the provided kayaks and stand-up kayak. We appreciated being able to borrow life preservers, and the detailed step-by-step instruction book made settling in easy and stress-free.It was also great to have a high-end TV with a Bose sound system, where every night the kids and I would watch a movie together as we unwound from a fun-filled day on the lake. While the kids needed to be mindful when crossing the road to the dock, the road was not busy and never noisy. We had such a special time here with both grandpa and the grandkids - paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing (the kids loved it!), and spending time on the boat out of nearby Echo Bay dock, where we enjoyed water skiing and surfing. The backyard hot tub was the perfect way to relax after our adventures.
We loved our memorable trip to the lake at Brian and Nyree’s home. The house is immaculate, comfortable, and fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. The lakeside outdoor kitchen made meals especially fun, and we enjoyed the kayaks and stand up paddle boards as well as long swims in the clean and lovely lake. Our hosts were great communicators and offered many helpful tips. From my 13-year old son who can be a bit hard to please: “mom, this was such a great idea to come here.”
Our family vacation at Brian and Nyree's beautiful lake house was wonderful. Recently updated home is very clean and has everything you need for lakeside living, including high end appliances both indoors and outside and a very thoughtful welcome basket. Our stay was comfortable and very enjoyable, loved starting the day with my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the beautiful lake. The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and using the kayaks which included life jackets. Thank you Brain and Nyree for opening up your home to us!!!
This lake house had it all. Every creature comfort was waiting for you, from high end appliances and outdoor kitchen equipment, down to pots/pans and even phone chargers and wood for the fire pit. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the awesome home owners (Brian/Nyree) with a welcome basket of goodies, plus they were also nice enough to leave a personal welcome card. Those little extra touches really describe the home owners and the attention to detail that you’ll notice, both inside the house and outside on the their beautiful waterfront area. We had an amazing time relaxing on this gorgeous property!
We enjoyed our 1st time at the Lake Cape so much we came back for a 2nd weekend. Brian and Nyree are great hosts and really go above and beyond to accommodate any request. They helped us make boat reservations and we loved every minute on the lake!
The homeowners are very friendly and accommodating people. Their house is warm and cozy and very well kept. If you’re looking for a lake house to rent that has everything to offer this is the house. Great view of the lake, outdoor dining with a view. Multiple grills they have to offer. Pizza oven, smoker. Gas fireplaces
Our family had a amazing time at Brian and Nyree’s home! The private lake setup is really unique with every amenity you could possibly need - a full outdoor kitchen setup, fire pit, boat slip, paddle board, kayak and fishing equipment and several spaces to relax and enjoy (each with an umbrella to control the right amount of sun and shade). The house has a nice lake vibe and features all updated appliances. Brian made us feel super welcome, was quick to respond and very willing offer suggestions. We just booked another weekend!
