The home is beautiful, clean, and in a stunning location. We hope to enjoy it again in warmer weather. Though we were indoors during our rainy weekend, we enjoyed the view and all the amenities.
Perfect in every way. We loved everything about this lake house. The owners have done an amazing job of creating the perfect oasis for fun AND relaxation. Highly recommend.
is the best way to describe this vacation property! The neighborhood lake area is fabulous, relaxed and has been welcoming families for decades. Comfortable digs, we felt at home within moments of our arrival. Thank you to the Dials for creating such a wonderful place to unwind and reunion!
unanimous (including 2 year old) absolutely perfect rating.
this home had more than everything you could want for vacation. the lake was wonderful for the three little ones--two, five and seven. family oriented location. really good local restaurants. dont think we could have picked a betterplace for our family to stay.
It was a real treat to stay in such a charming well appointed house on
stunning candlewood lake. We had everything we could possibly need and more (the sâmores and red wine were a great and delicious gift). Fire pit on the dock was just fantastic. The master bedroom bed was so comfy and the owners were a dream to work with. Ready for a repeat stay.
Stay was fantastic. We had never been to Candlewood Lake before and found it to be a great area, and neighborhood for this particular house. Everything was super clean, with towels rolled up on the beds for weekend use. Great kitchen table to seat many people for a great time together. Thanks for allowing us to share in the use of your fantastic home.
This is a great home that is like a very well-stocked house! The owners go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I own a VRBO so I know how much work, care and effort goes into this. You wonât be sorry - book right away. Thanks for an amazing holiday on a beautiful serene glass like lake. We will be back!
Last minute booking turns into a most memorable stay
Bill and Niki are excellent hosts. Their house on Candlewood Lake is a perfect getaway to relax and unwind. The views, the location, the amenities, were all top-notch. Excellent communication throughout our stay. We donât travel to Connecticut often but if we ever get back to that area, we will stay there again. I highly recommend this house for families as we were traveling with our 10, 8, and 6 year old. The kids enjoyed the paddle boards, the public beach in front of the house, and the neighborhood park to run and play wiffleball.
Our scattered family gathered for Christmas at the cottage on the lake. The sunrises out the large back windows were magical - truly amazing. The space was well equipped, with grille, fire places with the making of s'mores provided. There are nice common spaces on the both the first and second floor. The first floor was a little chilly in the morning but the electric heater provided by the owner and a fire in the fire place helped. Very peaceful, quiet stay.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dialed Inn. The home was beautifully decorated, super clean, and included everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We loved paddle boarding, roasting marshmallows, swimming at the beach next door, and boating. The kitchen included pancake mix, coffee, and all the fixings for sâmores. Bill was super easy to communicate with. Next time we will plan to stay longer. It made my heart happy to see my teens off their phones and playing with their cousins in the water.
Charming, refurbished, family-sized waterfront house with beautiful modern bedrooms and bathrooms . First floor has a cozy cabin feel. So many comfortable places to relax, enjoy the gorgeous scenery and all the lake has to offer! Candlewood Knolls is a lovely community with beautiful quiet roads for walking (and a few steep ones is you like to climb). We had 2 days of very hot weather and the central A/C was a lifesaver. Our college age son had his buddies join us for a few days in the room with bunk beds. Bill is a wonderful host and stocks the house with lots of useful items. Great well-stocked kitchen too. This was our first visit to Dialed Inn and we look forward to many more!!
Our daughter is attending graduate school in Connecticut but due to her work load and required covid testing didn't want to make the trip home to Florida during Spring Break. Your home was the perfect retreat. Your newly refurbished deck by the lake was a wonderful place to sit and study while enjoying the sun and the beautiful views. We definitely appreciated the fire place during the cool evenings. Thanks for providing plenty of fire wood and starter logs. The Smores supply set up on the kitchen table, along with the bottle of wine was a very welcoming touch. The home was clean, well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The extra large griddle was great. The owners quickly responded to any questions we had and made us feel right at home. Thanks for a wonderful mini vacation
We had the best weekend at Bill and Nikiâs property. The neighborhood, view and house are all simply awesome. We were a group of nine, kids ages 10-14 and everyone had a great time! Bill was very timely in answering my numerous questions. We are already talking about visiting again!
Absolutely stunning views of the lake, especially at sunrise. Toys and games for all ages.l, and a playground and sand area nearby. We loved it and would come again. Great host- easy to communicate with and super responsive.
We are six women who have been friends for over 20 years and we enjoy once a year a long wkend. This home was so beautiful on the lake. We had gorg5weather so we could sit on the deck by the water and watch the boats and the sunrise. We plan to visit this beautiful home again!
Finding a nice and reasonably priced waterfront house with a dock for boat, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths is relatively difficult. Bill and Nikki's house fit the "bill". The hosts were extremely nice, accommodating, and responsive to any questions. Would recommend. Note that weekends are always busy at the lake while weekdays more relaxing. My family and day guests had a great time.
We had a wonderful week at the beautiful home located just across from the community beach. Great location for the grandkids and adults alike. Gorgeous views. Very very comfortable.
Heaven on the lake. The house is a great balance of privacy and activity. Set just off of one if the 3 community beaches in Candlewood knolls and right by the public docks, there us plenty if people watching but calm and quiet when you need it. Sunnies and carp bite right off your private dock and smores are a nightly ritual. The house is comfy and well-appointed. Bill and Nikki are awesome. Weâll be back.
The house was great and even better then what I was expecting. The family room was a great hang out place, and the deck/outdoor space is perfectly overlooking the lake. Bill was a great host and made sure we had everything that we needed.
This was the perfect place to relax for spring break with the kids. The kids had fun playing in the sand and my older daughter enjoyed relaxing on the back porch. Wonderful spot for entertaining and enjoying the water. The host was super attentive and easily available if we had any questions. Wonderful experience, thank you!
We had a great long weekend at Bill and Nikiâs beautiful home. The location is amazing and the house is idealâcomfortable, well-equipped, incredibly tidy but not at all fussy. The fireplace (with plenty of wood), lake views, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen were great. Our small kids loved the bunk beds and the toys. The community has a small playground and plenty of walking by the lake and we had a nice hike at a local nature preserve. Bill was super welcoming and easy to communicate with and he and Niki went out of their way to accommodate us. We look forward to visiting again!
Seven life long friends rented the Dialed Inn for an informal reunion in the area. The house was great. The views were fantastic. We spent hours on the deck and had the fire pit going. Bill was always accessible and friendly. We had a great experience.
We bought this lake house for a central gathering spot for our 6 kids to come and for their children to come in the future. We got married on the lake in Oct 2019 with our ceremony and reception at the clubhouse at Candlewood Knolls. We have put lots of TLC into this home to make sure that all who come feel at home and have everything at their fingertips. We hope that the families that come and stay at Dialed Inn will make memories of their own that will last a lifetime.
