We were a group of family and friends celebrating our 65th birthdays. Friday evening we grilled salmon on the huge outdoor charcoal grill. The kids rambled on the lawn and hammocks. Everyone loved the ambiance and comfort of the home. The hike to the fire tower on Mt. Stissing was a hit, as was the coconut cream cake at Stissing Lake House restaurant.

We celebrated 4 birthdays this week and this Victorian home was lovely for the occasion and well situated on the lake.

Stissing Lake home and property were perfect for our family of 12. The grounds were spacious and provided plenty of space for our family games( badminton, croquet, wiffle ball), as well as a wrap around porch overlooking the lake that gave us time for conversation and quiet reflection. There is a Nature Conservancy park just a short walk from the home and we took advantage of the Harlem Bike trail for a family bike day. The beds were very comfortable for all of us. The home is spacious. The host was easy to communicate with and her son was close by for any questions or concerns. Our family is grateful to have been given this chance for a reunion after such a long pandemic year . Thank you Antoinette and Kendrick.
