About this house rental
Welcome to our chalet on the lake, offering the perfect getaway from the city's hustle and bustle. Just two hours north of New York, the Red Cottage offers a quiet and peaceful escape to nature. This is the perfect spot to relax & destress after a day on the lake, on the slopes, and/or exploring the Catskills and the Hudson Valley.
This is a three-level spacious cottage offers 4BR 2BA with direct access to the lake and a private dock. We provide our guests with kayaks, a paddle board and a canoe for those who like to exercise and enjoy the the peace and quiet of the water.
There two bedrooms on the lower level: one with bunk beds, full on top and queen on the bottom, and a second one with a queen bed. There is a full bathroom on the first level as well as a laundry room.
The living room area is equipped with a 75" smart TV, a Marshall speaker and a credenza full with games. For the chefs, the kitchen which is right off the living room is fully equipped with a stove, microwave, blender, toaster, air fryer, waffle maker, coffee maker as well as dinnerware for groups of all sizes.
Step outside on the deck and enjoy a view of the lake, the chirping of the birds and the peaceful surroundings. Sit down, relax and marvel nature, or enjoy a meal and a great conversation with your family and friends.
The top level has a master bedroom overlooking the lake with an en suite bathroom. There is also an office with a couch that converts into a full bed.
The Red Cottage is located 15 Minutes across the river from Hudson, NY, 5 minutes to Catskill, 30 minutes to Woodstock and Rhinebeck, 25 minutes to Hunter Mountain and Windham for the skiing enthusiasts, and about 40 minutes from the Massachusetts Berkshires and all they have to off

Great place! Lots of space for family with kids and a dog to spread out. House has lots of things to keep kids busy (basketball, swings, boats and hammock). The lake is really peaceful and you can take the boats over to the pool dock and our dog enjoyed going to ‘dog beach’. Something for everyone!

We have enjoyed numerous VRBO vacations but the Little Red Cottage far exceeded any other in. terms of the thoughtfulness of the host in making sure their guests were provided a comfortable and well equipped home away from home. The cupboards were stocked with ll the necessities and more...little touches everywhere demonstrated the commitment to guest comfort and convenience, from all sorts of water toys to a wonderful fire ring - firewood provided!

Great stay at the lake house.
This was a dream vacation that concluded our summer season 2024. Cozy house with nice touches and access to the lake. Nice area for a morning walk and biking on the community grounds. Kudos to the owner,
Darin, who has been very accommodating.

Such a great place. The location is perfect. The house had everything we needed. The boats available on the property were so much fun for the family. The lake is quiet and beautiful. We rowed out to the swim beach and the kids had a great time. Lots of different restaurants around with the little towns. Great hiking and waterfalls to view. Host was very welcoming and great with communication.
