Welcome to The Nugget, a charming and secluded lakefront cottage located on Candlewood Lake in Danbury, Connecticut. This recently renovated 1950s cottage offers stunning views of the lake from the front room, deck, and backyard, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable getaway all year round.

The cottage features a comfortable family room with a dining nook and lake views, a fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops and modern appliances, and a vintage bathroom with a claw-foot tub and a Maytag washer/dryer combo.

Outside, you'll find a spacious deck with an outdoor dining table and breathtaking views of the lake, as well as a hot tub, stone fire pit, Blackstone flat-top griddle, and traditional gas grill for your use. You can also enjoy various yard games and even try out the zip line.

Guests have access to the Danbury Town Park Beach located at 36 E Hayestown Rd.

Guest access
We welcome you to enjoy our home as if it were yours! Our guests will have access to the entire home and outdoor space: front courtyard and deck, backyard and deck and 24/7 access to our private hot tub.
Other things to note
The Nugget is located in a private lake community with nearby neighbors, so please be respectful of noise levels early in the morning or late in the evening.

While surrounded by nature, it is typical to see small insects such as spiders, beetles, and mosquitos around. Please also be mindful of larger animals such as deer, hawks, bobcats, foxes, and bears when exploring the area, especially at night/early morning.

We love your furry, four-legged friends! If you're bringing a pet with you, kindly let us know upon booking as an additional pet fee will be added to your stay. The fee allows us to spend extra time cleaning rugs, other soft surfaces, and the yard. This also ensures we set out the food/water bowls and a special treat for fido!

Parking is available for up to three cars, and please note that supplemental street parking is not available and would block neighboring driveways. Parties and loud noises/disturbances are not allowed.

Cute, clean and bright cottage!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed: hot tub, grill, fire place, quick walk (access) to lake…cozy and clean! It was the perfect getaway in a serene setting. We look forward to visiting again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Sean Ostroy

Host profile image
Hi there! We’re Sean and Nina - the owners of The Nugget, a renovated 1950s lake cottage on Candlewood Lake, CT. We purchased The Nugget in 2022 and have had a great time adding our own personality to the space (like a total interior and exterior paint job!). Quickly after we closed on the property, The Nugget became our family’s special oasis - and we hope it becomes yours too!

We spend our days up here outside mostly: down by the lake, around the fire pit, soaking in the hot tub, hiking at a nearby nature preserve or state park, antiquing, or even at a nearby winery or brewery! There truly is something for everyone, no matter the season here in Connecticut. And of course, if you want to keep it low key, nothing beats the view from our front room, where we love to catch the day’s sunsets while we cook up dinner in the kitchen or out on the grill.

Looking forward to hosting you soon!
