About this house rental
Welcome to Lachland! (PLEASE NOTE AT THIS TIME OUR MINIMUM RENTAL IS 30 DAYS, DUE TO LOCAL LAW) This 5 bedroom home has been a beloved family vacation home for 4 generations. Lachland is located on a private, gated road. You will experience spectacular views , and nature walks that begin the moment you step outside. The gracious 3000 square foot home easily contains and entertains a large family or friends group. Very comfortably sleeps 13 guests, with additional space for squeezing a few more in. The house began life as a barn in the late 1800's. It was then converted to a hunting lodge in the early 20th century. It has been in our family since the late 1940's, when the hunting lodge was converted once again to a family home. The original hand-hewn barn beams are still visible in much of the house. The decor has charming vintage appeal with many original details. Bedrooms include: the master bedroom suite with a king sized bed, private bathroom and dressing area, the all season 'sleeping porch' that is great for kids or families with 5 twin beds, the green room with 2 twin beds, the blue room with 2 full beds, and the sunrise room which has a king sized bed (custom built raised bed to witness the sunrise, truly awe-inspiring). Vintage 1950's kitchen is well equipped and has large modern appliances. There are several serious cooks in our family, so the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and baking. The dining room is directly adjacent to the kitchen and has seating for up to 15 at an antique banquet table. Many of our guests have commented how wonderful and rare it is to be able to sit down together at one table. A large living room makes it easy to reconnect with family and friends. A stately Steinway piano, circa 1893, adds to the fun. The living room is part of the original barn structure, and maintains a rustic elegance. Lounging on the wide open porch and soaking up the spectacular views is a required activity. You will have access to basic household items such as dish soap, paper towels, aluminum foil, etc, to make your vacation seamless. House linens are provided, no need to bring sheets towels, or extra blankets. Explore the grounds and be taken in by the sweeping lawn, rock formations and rolling fields that surround the house. Spend a lovely evening at the stone fire pit, roasting marshmallows and watching the fireflies. Make sure the kids visit our fairy house, a favorite of the Lachland children. Perhaps the best feature of the house is the vista of the surrounding mountains and the Ashokan Reservoir. The open porch and raised stone patio allow for breathtaking views, and many of the bedrooms have excellent views also. Large picture windows in the living room, dining room, and kitchen ensure that you'll have great scenery inside the house too. A unique getaway in a truly beautiful area. High speed satellite internet/Wi-Fi. Please contact us with any questions, we are more than happy to assist you.

Beautiful location and view, extremely quiet. Room enough for everyone (we had 9 adults and 3 kids). We hosted an Easter dinner for 15, the kitchen and dining room had room to spare. We had beautiful spring weather so most time was spent on the huge porch or around the fire pit.

House easily held 13 people comfortably. House layout was especially conducive to shared experiences. Huge living area, large dining room table able to seat everyone, play room for children all flowing. Sleeping rooms also exceptional. And of course the view from almost every room was spectacular. Have done this family/friend retreat over President's Day for many years. This was the best.

Tammany, the property manager, could not have been more helpful. The house was all we had hoped for: comfortable, well appointed, a cozy atmosphere with a kid friendly space, games, piano, sunny porch with gorgeous views of the valley below. Comfortable beds, a fully applianced kitchen well stocked with tableware and cookware. The dining room prefers a large picture window. Would definitely go back for another visit.

My wife and I went for four nights with our 8 year old daughter, 5 year old son, and new au pair from Chile (who is 18). It was simply amazing.I have never been to a VRBO (or AirBnB) that was as spotlessly clean and well-stocked as this (and we stay at way too many!). The house has an amazing vintage charm, but is very modern with all new appliances. The vintage charm is not warn - the enamel on the 1950s (?) kitchen is in perfect shape as are the pink and green tiles in the bathrooms. I share that as an example of how clean and amazing it was. It is about 12 minutes to downtown Woodstock, but a world away (jn a good way). The peacefulness is amazing. the large picture windows have you gazing at the view and forgetting about life for a long while. (We even sometimes forgot about our children who became feral running through the woods and having adventures.) The wind chime is calming. The bell on the porch perfect for drawing the kids in for lunch. The living room was our favorite. Very big and spacious. An old record collection with a new record player. A warm fire place. Radiator heat (if you never had radiator heat it is amazing - not dry at all and toasty warm). As a side note, the showers have amazing water pressure! The internet (satellite) was totally adequate - I even took a few video work calls. Though we mostly used it to figure out what good restaurants to order from and where to go hiking. Our host was just a text away and very responsive. Woodstock and all the hikes close by were great. There were only five of us, but we wish there were more and we plan on going back with friends or family as soon as possible!You cannot go wrong staying here!
