Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Fairfield County

A gem of a home if you’re looking for a waterfront property with great lake access. David’s home is well stocked with everything you need - from baking to cooking , from laundry to great choices of board games , a nice library if reading by the water is what you care to do . If you’re a bass fisherman like me , you have direct access to Squantz Pond, which can be a great fishing alternative to nearby Candlewood Lake. The property is close to the main road and traffic can be a nuisance to folks who are not used to it . City folks like me don’t mind it. David was a great host , very responsive . There was a slight miscommunication during check in , but that was taken care of right away . My family hopes to come back again . BTW, for those who don’t know how to play the piano , take some brief lessons before coming and impress your folks. Joe

Home had a beautiful view of the lake! Everything was spotless on arrival. Couldn’t have asked for more for a weekend getaway in CT!

Rented this for six weeks while working in the area, was perfect. I enjoyed it very much. Lots of space everything you could possibly need even down to the toothpaste and brushes, you could seriously just show up completely unprepared and you would have an excellent stay. If I am back in the area for long term again this will be my first search.

Nice place .. host is very responsive and helpful and place is nice .. beautiful lake views .. spent 30 days while renovating my house Nd was a smooth stay..

This place is sublime. Beautifully furnished and styled, this is possibly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Feels much more like a home than a rental. Serene and quiet with a deck and stone terrace overlooking the pond, the sounds of the waterfall, birds and the wind in the trees are perfect for anyone seeking a relaxing stay. The expansive living room, dining area and kitchen flow well together and make for a fantastic social space with direct access to the terrace. And the whole place is a delightful blend of historic charm and modern living. The open fireplaces add a whole other level of charm. The kitchen is also really well equipped with a good array of spices, condiments Rd nets and more for anyone looking to cook (which we did). Erin is also a great host. Highly responsive and very helpful. We were a party of 5 and we all agreed we want to return.

My family and I absolutely loved Jonathan's place and would highly recommend the stay. The place was beautiful inside and out, the pictures dont even do it justice! Jonathan was a wonderful host, responsive and friendly. One of my favorite airbnbs, amazing setting dont miss this one!

Our family loved staying here! It was a perfect fit for us (2 adults upstairs & 2 young teen kids in their own room) + grandma downstairs (so no fall hazard!) The views were perfect and added bonus for my kids to burn off steam even in the chilly weather. The open layout downstairs worked great. We weren’t there for many meals so didn’t utilize the kitchen to its fully potential. Jonathan was very responsive and polite with any questions I had during our stay. It was a lovely place that worked out perfectly during our time spent visiting family in CT!

Beautifully kept home! From check in to check out it felt so easy. Island Poke that the hostess mentioned is worth a try! Would definitely recommend this spot! AND this hostess! 10/10

Clean , modern apt. Very easy to navigate with the technology. Staff very friendly and helpful. A bit noisy on street outside with traffic. Will definitely rent again with URBY, but request a courtyard side unit

Our stay at the Boathouse was just what we needed, a quiet retreat with a comfortable bed, all the amenities we could ask for. A warm welcome from Curran, and attentive to our needs and comfort. We will likely return to the Boathouse on our return visits to visit family in the area.

We have stayed with Julia several times now. The apartment and studio are consistently clean, comfortable, quiet and private. So easy to come and go. If you are staying in North Salem, this is an excellent choice.

Renee’s place was a nice and cozy getaway from the city, and surprisingly fit 5 people + 2 cats very comfortably! She was also very quick to respond to any questions I had, we had a great time!

Great communication. Great space. very beautiful home and outdoors. perfect if you have kids. We used the playground and grill. Very flexible, easy to reach and very friendly.

This apartment was perfect. Great restaurants all in walking distance. Very easy and safe parking garage upon arrival. The apartment was clean and spacious for two people. All the appliances worked, and the water was hot. The location was also very good. Less than 20 minutes from major hiking trails and 35 minutes from Time Square. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here for sure.

I chose Marlene’s lovely spot primarily because it was in a location convenient for short trips to visit family and friends in Wallingford, Middlebury and Middletown while on my way south from New Hampshire. The peaceful, quiet surroundings along with a spotless, well-appointed accommodation made it very appealing: highly recommended.

This was exactly what we needed for a quick visit to visit Stamford! It was easy to check in and plenty of room for 2 families with young kids. The backyard is private and fenced in for early morning coffee and dinner. The location is very close to a park with playground and it was easy to get to 95. Would definitely stay again!

Vincenzo’s place was amazing! We stayed with 2 families and 3 small children and everyone was comfortable and had tons of space. The property was beautiful and there are so many amazing hikes close by. I highly recommend staying here!

If you’re reading this to decide whether to book, do it - this was such a nice stay! Came up for a last min bday trip and feel lucky we got to stay here. Brian is an uncommonly good host and went above and beyond in so many ways - great communicator, flexible, gave us extra recs when stuff nearby was closed, provided a great local guidebook, and stocked the house so well (I like to cook and there was an actually well-stocked kitchen there). We didn’t find ourselves needing any essentials and the house had a lot of well-thought out comforts (insane hot tub, heated toilets, a ton of seating). On top of that the house is set up for fun at home - communal lounge area for a big group, pool table downstairs, board games, easy to use projector, silly wigs, big yard, a fridge that plays spotify (???) & we brought our pickleball set and played outside. These guys really know what they’re doing - thank you for a great stay and we will definitely be back when it warms up!

Lovely and Rustic for sure. A bit of a hike 10-15 minutes up to it. Bed is comfy too.

the ourtdoor shower was the most healing

Carrie was very attentive and concerned about giving me the best instructions to make me feel at home. I didn't struggle to check-in and get settled. What ever question or concern I had she would answer me quickly and kindly. I recommend this beautiful place that will make you feel welcome and at home. Thank you for being an amazing host and being extremely caring, and sweet.

We had a wonderful stay. The setting was serene and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cabin had everything we needed, was cozy, and we especially enjoyed spending time by the fireplace. It was the ideal spot to unwind over a long weekend. We would absolutely stay here again!

Amy and Kevin were absolutely wonderful! It was so nice to get out of the city and stay in such a beautiful cabin. It has a rustic feel while having all of the amenities and conveniences that you are looking for. Amy and Kevin are also such wonderful people they made sure that the trip was easy and fun and responded immediately anytime I had a question. The area was private but also close to a bunch of great restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Great relaxing and private location. Very home feeling and just right for a great weekend. Joe was amazing at responding and helpful. Would love to comeback and stay another weekend.
