About this house rental
90 MINS FROM NYC PRIVATE LAKE
300 acres! Fish, swim, hike, volleyball, bike, bonfires & hammock. This is a spectacular retreat!
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, Our property 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!

Beautiful property with tons of space and privacy - great for a group.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
The place is incredible. It was the perfect getaway for my group of my friends and plenty of space for our group of 15. We enjoyed the kayaks and spending time around the firepit. The area is also very quiet and private. Dianne and Chuck were both incredibly helpful throughout. I would definitely come back again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
This house had everything we needed to keep the whole family occupied! We fished, played kickball, bocce and went for a hike. The kids loved the swing and jumping off the floating dock! It was the perfect environment for our family to just enjoy each other.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
I stayed here with a group of 15 people including myself and we had a nice time, but the state of the property hade a definite impact on the trip.
At first, we didn't know why we had to sign a waiver before staying on this property, but we learned fairly quickly why. During our stay, the ladder to the upper bunk broke while someone was climbing down and the hammock broke while someone was getting into it. Thankfully nobody was hurt.
Additionally, the grill looked like it had not been cleaned or maintained in a long time, as the inside was covered in a thick layer of soot and the flavorizer bars on the grill were burned through in some spots. This made the grill basically unusable and we had to cook our barbecue food on the small indoor stove instead.
Other things included a good amount of doors that did not lock or close fully and a property manager entering a room where we had guests sleeping.
If these things are fixed, then our stay would have been a 4+ star.
