About this house rental

Just an hour and a half from New York's G.W. Bridge you will find a magical setting to refresh and rejuvenate you. Rustic elegance in a natural setting, the Boathouse offers exclusive privacy for a restorative getaway. Acres of wooded paths for hiking & canoeing on the lake ensures a serene experience.

Escape to a completely private 300 acres and watch the sunset as you fish on the 100 acre lake. Beautifully decorated with Stickley furniture, the natural wood and craftsman touches beckon you to relax, read, canoe, kayak, or enjoy a crackling toasty fire in the wood stove.

This property is unlike any other. It is perfect for the executive who wants to enjoy a country home, but doesn't want to own one... Perfect for the artist who wants to spend a week (or a month) writing the next great novel. Perfect for a warm family reunion, or for the couple who want to lie in a hammock by the stream and read for hours. Our lake is full of sunfish, largemouth bass, and crappies. Beaver, otters, eagles, Canadian geese, bear, quail, skunk, deer, swan, and great blue heron all make their homes in this unique environment. Occasionally we are visited by the loon, and that is a sound to remember forever.

Come explore all the wonders of the Catskills! From the Hudson Valley painters to the hills of Rip Van Winkle, from the old comedy acts of the 50's to the fly fishing camps and wineries of today, The Catskills is a beautiful and historic landscape. Dotted with antique shops and organic ice cream stops, apple farms, music venues, professional theatres, world famous rock climbing, bike paths and fisheries, our neighborhood has something for everyone!

Our Adirondack style boathouse is at once airy, yet warm and cozy. Full of books and games, it is a place for connection and meditation.

My husband and I stayed at your beautiful property for three days this week. It was simply breathtaking! The beautiful land and lake were the stars of the show because of the Fall foliage. We took the hike around the lake and enjoyed it very much. We stayed at the fishing lodge and it was perfect for the two of us, but there is enough room for a few kids if a family wanted to stay there. It is quirky and magical, and has all the amenities you would want. We truly loved your property and would definitely go back!!

What a beautiful unusual place. Very relaxing and peaceful. The boathouse had an old world feel with just enough tech to get by. We wanted a peaceful place to visit with our son. This place was perfect. Nature was a soothing part of this. We saw otters lots of ducks and geese. There were rivers all over. There were signs of bear and fox. It was a nature lovers paradise. The pizza in town was wonderful too.

This beautiful property never disappoints, even when the weather does. We will keep coming back for a magical respite at Gossamer lake. Everything was lovely as always.
