About this house rental

Welcome to your Hudson Valley lakefront escape on Upper Rhoda Pond —where space, nature, and thoughtful amenities come together for an unforgettable stay.

This large home offers everything you need for a true getaway, starting with its stunning double-height great room. Anchored by a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and filled with natural light, it’s a warm and inviting place to gather. Two sets of double doors open out to a wraparound deck overlooking the pool and offering glimpses toward the lake, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The outdoor setup is what truly sets this home apart. Spend your days lounging by the pool, grilling and dining on the deck, or relaxing in the screened-in porch. Just a short walk away, cross a private bridge over a charming stream to reach the lakefront—complete with a private dock, boats, kayaks, and a shared floating swim dock in the middle of the lake for endless summer fun.

Inside, the home is designed with groups in mind. The open kitchen features generous counter space and an eating bar, perfect for casual meals and gathering while cooking. A separate dining room offers space for larger meals together, while multiple living areas ensure everyone has room to unwind.

Downstairs, the expansive recreation room is a destination of its own—complete with a sectional sofa, TV, ping pong table, and a mini bar/partial kitchen. With direct access to the outdoors and pool area, it’s ideal for kids, teens, or late-night hangouts.

Additional features include five comfortable bedrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, central air conditioning and heat, and access to a nearby shared tennis court with our own 7 properties.

Don’t let the 1980s decor fool you, the place is immaculate. We were a family of 8 and all the kids had their own rooms. The property is huge and very private. The owner took care of a minor issue via a very nice caretaker who arrived within 10 minutes and asked us what else we might need. Highly recommend!

We stayed during spring break but it is good vacation places for summer. During spring break most of the places around are closed. Nice property though good for staycation at this very peaceful and quiet place.

We rented this home to be near our family on Copake Lake. It was exactly what we needed with ample space and privacy for my family of 5 plus in laws. The house was well stocked with kitchenware, bedding, games / activities for all. We stayed in November but I bet this place is even more fun in the summer with the in ground pool and easy lake access. We will be back!

The house is in a perfect, peaceful setting. The property provides all you could possibly want for a large group - plenty of ‘together’space and plenty of room for everyone to have their ‘own’ space. The grounds and the lake are lovely; we thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. This property provided a wonderful multigenerational family getaway!
