VINTAGE WATERVIEW COTTAGE ON CANDLEWOOD LAKE. Stepping Stones is a perfect fairytale chalet, evoking an earlier era of lakeside rustication. This original 30s craftsman-style fieldstone lake house overlooking Candlewood features vaulted living room with wood burning fireplace, glass-walled billiard room with Tiffany ceiling, 2BR, 2BA, additional 2-bed cozy sleeping loft, Aga kitchen, study, and formal DR (or office) and main-level laundry. Period antiques and architectural details transport you to an earlier era of relaxing on the lake. Enjoy al fresco dining on the deck with ample outdoor seating, chiminea, and a hard-plumbed Weber grill. Soak in the hot tub under a huge pine with views of glistening lake below. Surrounded by almost an acre of woods, Stepping Stones is relaxing and safe-but only 8 minutes from Rt. 7 shopping and the New Milford green (library, restaurants, farmer's market, theater). Lake access available just one mile away at Lynn Deming Park with sandy beach, lifeguard, volleyball, and playground (NM Resident fee $75/yr). Rent a boat at Gerard's Marina for a full exploration of Candlewood Lake. Try flyfishing on the Housatonic, take a waterski lesson, or visit nearby batting cages, bowling alley, mini golf, or public tennis courts. Stepping Stones is a highly popular 5-star Airbnb now available for direct (agent-owner) year-round rental without booking fees and occupancy taxes.
