Holiday rentals with lake access in Southbury

We couldn’t have picked a better home to spend Thanksgiving in! The house was absolutely perfect—spacious, modern, and comfortable, with the most stunning, private views of the lake. Waking up to those breathtaking views every morning made our holiday extra special. Malik was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating every step of the way, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The home felt like the perfect retreat, and we’re so grateful for the experience. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Anne Marie's place was exactly what we were looking for! It is extremely well stocked, with everything you might need, from kitchen appliances, extra blankets, many towels, etc. The surroundings were gorgeous and the area is very quiet and peaceful. Anne Marie was friendly and very responsive, answering questions quickly and flexibly. We can't wait to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Gaby's home. Unlike many Airbnb hosts who design their spaces to feel like generic hotels, Gaby’s place radiated warmth, personality, and charm. It felt like a home that had been truly lived in and loved, with thoughtful, personal touches like family photos, unique art, and an impressive collection of books that added so much character. Gaby herself was an incredible host—always responsive, friendly, and approachable. She’s the kind of person I'd love to sit down and chat with. The setting was absolutely stunning. We had snow, the lake was frozen, and the wintry view was really peaceful. The abundance of wildlife made it even more special—we spotted deer, bald eagles, a couple of foxes who visited every morning, and even a bobcat prancing around the house one evening. We also love to cook, and Gaby’s kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need to play chef If you’re looking for an authentic and unforgettable Airbnb experience

We loved Nathania's house! The views were beautiful! It was a great house to have local family over for a gathering (which was the purpose of our visit). We had some snow and ice during our stay, but Nathania and her husband were unexpectedly there, and ensured the snow and ice was dealt with the best they could. We definitely hope to rent again!

Sunil’s large house sits on extensive grounds with beautiful views across lake Mahopac from most rooms. A well equipped kitchen and updated bathrooms, round out the amenities. Sunil is an exceptionally responsive and cordial host. We have stayed here several times and highly recommend it.

This place was exactly as described. We had a wonderful time staying here while we visited family in the area. I would definitely recommend especially to families.

We had a great stay for a few days. Easy check-in. Neighborhood was quiet with peaceful views of the lake. Excellent location. The beds were very comfortable. We are a family of four and it was nice to have space to spread out when we needed it, downstairs was an added bonus! The kitchen was pretty well stocked, we wish we had a measuring cup when we were making dinner. We loved the hardwood floors and spacious couch. We would definitely return!! Stephanie was a responsive host, thank you!

This was my first time renting an Airbnb and Sarah was extremely patient with me. She answered my questions and texts promptly and was very accommodating. I asked for an early check in and she made it happen. The house was very clean and exactly what I hoped for. I will definitely be renting there again.

Nice and clean. Quiet and secluded. Host responsive and actively invovled. The hot plate for cooking is very small but Everything works and room was easily warmed once we figured out the heater. Pretty expensive for how bare-bones it is, but if you are looking for a very quiet place to hole up in and work, might be worth the expense.

This was our 2nd stay at Andrea’s place. Very peaceful and convenient location for our visits to Connecticut. We come to visit family but the small river towns like Deep River offer much to do and excellent restaurants to boot. We highly recommend Andreas property!

Margie’s place is an amazing hidden gem. The inside is very clean and comfortable. The outside is an experience of its own. The lake will drop your blood pressure immediately. Gorgeous surroundings. The dogs are friendly and lovable. We will be back! 👍🏼

We stayed here for 2 nights with our dog so we could attend the UConn WBB final home game at Gampel. It was the perfect location for what we had planned and what we needed for a weekend. Check in was a breeze, the Airbnb was super clean. Communication was great and we would definitely stay here again for future UConn games.

Jerri is a great host. She and Jonathan are extremely pleasant to talk too.

We only had a short stay, but John was a great help letting us check in early - they clearly love their home and the town, offering annotated menus of local restaurants and info on many natural features to visit in the area. Delightful decor, many many plants, plenty of linens available, no shortage of room to lounge and relax. Parking was a cinch, checkout directions were clear and simple. Would stay again.

This was a great place for a solo vacation! I was able to do yoga, go in the hot tub, and take a walk around the property!

This was just what I needed for my first trip to Mohegan Lake! Quiet neighborhood. Cozy bed. Great water pressure. I’ll definitely be booking again if I come back to this cute little town.

Was the perfect little get away for us. And it was nice to find a place that accommodated the dogs so well. We appreciated being able to get to places easily but at the same time have a peaceful place to return to.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. To wake up every morning to the gorgeous view of the lake and enjoy the surroundings created for a very relaxing trip. The house was well stocked with toiletries, towels and the coffee/tea station was a hit with our family. Would definitely come again, if in the area.

lovely cottage that is beautifully designed. loved the comfortable beds and chairs. thanks Mark for a great stay.

We loved the view out to the lake, which was different every day and throughout the day. The open layout of the house is great to enjoy the views, and if the weather is nice, there are great sitting areas outside as well. The house is well-stocked and cozy. The hosts are friendly and always responsive. There are also great parks to visit nearby. We had a great winter weekend and would love to stay again.

Brenda place was beautiful with a beautiful view especially when we work up to some light snow on the lake. The layout of the house was ideal for us with the big open living room and great updated kitchen. So many comfortable beds for us to use. Our favorite places were the sun room and dining rooms looking out at the lake, Brenda was was kind and helpful and adding a Christmas tree for us was a beautiful touch . Highly recommend, one of our best for sure, thank you

Place was very cute. Beds were comfy. Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows. Kitchen had everything we needed. We stayed in the winter so didn't take advantage of the yard but would have loved to use the kayaks or hang out by the water in warmer weather. Great little towns and restaurants to visit nearby and a waterfall a few houses down. Really enjoyed our stay.

If you are looking for simplicity (which we were) this is the perfect place to. I’ve always wanted to stay at a lake house. We couldn’t have asked for more. Serene, tranquil, beautiful are the proper descriptions of the house and the area. We came to Connecticut to visit my daughter and family and they ended up coming to our place instead. Jason was extremely helpful when needed. We would definitely stay there again!

As everyone else noted, what an AMAZING find! A truly beautiful location that has you saying “wow” from when you first step inside. The place had everything you could ask for and we felt like we were at home. I would certainly come back again and I completely understand why she is booked out through the summer. What a lovely area and easy access to so many towns and attractions.
