We had a lovely stay! We fell in love with Sleepy Hollow Lake on this trip!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We wanted to find a place where my scattered family of 5 busy adults could reconnect and this property was perfect for us. We’d love to come back! Check-in was beyond easy and communication with the property managers both before and during our two week stay was great. The neighborhood is very quiet and the cabin is set back from the street so you really feel you’re living in the woods. It was so clean it sparkled and its various levels are even more beautiful than the photographs show. The kitchen is well-stocked and the gas grill made for easy dinners. Kayaking and swimming were perfect during some of the hottest days and it always felt great to return to the house after exploring the area. Things to be aware of: the stairs going down to the first level as well as those leading to the third floor are steep, which may be a challenge for people with mobility issues; the house is deep in a wooded area so you may be driving a lot and once you leave the house, wifi and GPS may be limited in your car until you are out of the community; finally, the path to the kayaks is also very steep. Sturdy rubber-soled water shoes recommended!
