Guest Access:
Getting to us from NY depending on where you are, takes anywhere from 1 hour 15 min to 1 hour 45 min You will need to have a vehicle since this property is in a rural part of New Milford and taking an Uber to get around can get very costly. The nearest train station is in Danbury which is about 25 mins away, but the most convenient --because it is a direct line and does not require transferring--is Brewster, NY (about 30 minutes away). A cab from either of these places will probably run $50-$60, so usually not feasible. If you are coming from an airport on CT Limo, your stop in Danbury is at the Maron Hotel, where you might catch a $45-65 Uber to the house

The Neighborhood:
While the house in a more rual area of New Milford, there are lots of modern convenience that are just a few miles away on Route 7 such as Walmart, Home Goods, Hope Depot, TJ Maxx, Staples, Peach Wave, etc. Options for grocery stores are Stop & Shop, Big Y, and Aldi, and you can seek out your favorite libation at Classic Liquors or Nejame package store.

Other Things to Note:
If the lake is frozen solid and smooth in the winter, ice skating is always possible, and if there is a blanket of snow on top, then cross-country skiing is at its finest. In the summer, swimming, kayaking, or lounging by the waterside and taking in the fresh air. You can rent a boat from Gerard's or Echo Bay Marina down the road and enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, or tubing on Candlewood Lake.
