About this house rental
STR LIC. NO. 2023-002
Nestled just 50 miles northwest of New York City, this charming lakefront retreat sits on the serene shores of Upper Greenwood Lake, right along the NJ/NY border. Originally built in 1938 and thoughtfully restored in 2002, the home blends timeless character with modern comfort.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, including access to a balcony overlooking the lake—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at sunset. The home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, making it ideal for families or small groups.
Perched atop a natural rock wall, the house offers stunning, elevated views of the water—an unforgettable setting that truly feels like a hidden escape.
Upper Greenwood Lake is a private, non-motorized lake, offering a peaceful, quiet setting—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. For guests interested in boating or rentals, Greenwood Lake is just 7 miles down the mountain, where you’ll find public access, marinas, and a variety of boat rental options.
Despite its tranquil setting, the home is only about an hour’s drive from the George Washington Bridge or Lincoln Tunnel. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby hiking trails in West Milford, Hewitt, and Wawayanda State Park, while nearby Warwick, NY offers excellent dining, shopping, and a charming small-town experience.
This is a fully functioning home, lovingly maintained and regularly enjoyed by its owners, which gives it a warmth and authenticity you won’t find in a typical rental. The house is thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need—from a well-equipped kitchen with all the cooking essentials to an abundance of cleaning supplies for a comfortable, easy stay. After a day of exploring, unwind in the deep soaking tub with jacuzzi jets, or venture out to enjoy the fantastic nearby breweries and wineries. For a touch of nostalgia, there’s even a classic old-fashioned drive-in movie theater just up the road. What truly sets this property apart from other lake homes is the breathtaking land itself—lush gardens, natural beauty, and a sense of privacy that makes it feel like your own secluded retreat.
Whether you’re seeking a quiet lakeside retreat or an active getaway, this home offers the best of both worlds.

We were 3 and 4 people staying three weeks (!) with a dog, and we enjoyed our time at the house immensely. While we didn't float on the lake, we took advantage of the view constantly. Our old dog navigated the house, porch, and property without difficulty. The kitchen, AC, baths, showers, locks/entries, driveway, trash, etc. -- all was sensible and functional and easy to deal with. Friendly host communicated clearly and quickly, as needed. An ideal place to spend a large span of the summer.

If you are looking for a relaxing lake vacation, look no further than David's home! We stayed for 6 nights and wish we could have stayed for 6 more. David goes above and beyond to make sure that you have a comfortable stay and I truly felt like we were staying at a good friend's home with all of the personal touches and extra care that David gave prior to our arrival.
The home has absolutely everything that you need for a wonderful stay. The kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials for cooking. The rooms are large and comfortable. There are a ton of games, books and puzzles to choose from. And our dog was thrilled to see (and sniff!) all of the toys available for 4-legged friends!
Without a doubt the best part of this home is the location!! Situated at the end of a dead-end road, and right on the water, this house has the perfect amount of privacy. We loved sitting on the dock all day and cooling off in our own private swimming cove.
This is truly a special place and once you've visited, it's easy to see why it's such a beloved family home. Plus only an hour from the city? Can't beat that! We will definitely be back!!

We are selling our home and decided last minute it would be easier for us to leave to get out of our realtors way. David was SUPER accommodating with our last minute reservation!
I’m also so grateful for his pet policy because it’s so hard to find a home which allows 2 dogs , let alone 1!!
The house was beautiful and an unforgettable view!
David was extremely helpful and responsive, thank you again!!

It doesn't get better than this! We went expecting to get together with family and left with more wonderful memories! We couldn't have done that without the organization and beautiful home offered by David and Charlie. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Every detail was well explained. The property grounds and the lake view were relaxing and beautiful. Our dog, who does get nervous, was right at home from the moment we arrived. David is fabulous! This truly is a special place!
