Amazing stay! Immaculate!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This property is situated on a large piece of beautifully maintained land on a large pond. The views were lovely and the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The house is well stocked with so many kitchen tool essentials we found it very easy to cook and eat together. (No food or ingredient supplies though, heads up!) The kitchen and dining area are so open, with a great view out the back and exit to the patio, so it made spending time together easy. The bedrooms were comfortable and we mostly were well stocked with towels, although there were only a few washcloths for the 7 of us (plus toddler), so maybe pack some if you need them usually. We loved the kayaks and paddle boat, and the tennis/basketball court (there aresupplies for all of these things in the shed). Also, the on property gym (in a separate little building close to the house) was so nicely equipped! Overall, we had a blast at this comfy and cozy house on the water!Only things to note: the pier going out into the water from the shore is partially broken and a little unsteady. We thought there’d be access off of that into the water, but we realized after arriving and reading the guide in the house that the best bet was to take a kayak out to the floating (shared) dock to swim/float around there, which worked great. The water was very clear once you got out there and an amazing temperature. It was a great place to swim,float, kayak, and paddle boat!

We used this house as well as 2 other homes in the neighborhood to meet for a family reunion. All the houses were clean and in close proximity to each other and the pond. What a great stay!

Positives: Lovely location on the lake with plenty or property to support outside fun. Comfortable sleeping arrangements (with one exception), great indoor space with large dining area and comfortable living room. Close to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and surrounding by cute towns. Great area. Negatives: Kitchen was mediocre. It was awkwardly configured with the microwave embedded under a counter and door opening in a way that made access awkward--especially for cleaning. Ditto for refrigerator which swung toward the counter, effectively rendering some prep space and access to the sink impossible when the door was open. While well equipped, all the knives were so dull you couldn't use them--we sharpened them ourselves. The bedroom with trundle bed is very hot--no window treatments on sky lights or upper windows and no a/c in this room, and we had to request a fan. Our biggest disappointment was the condition of the tennis court compared to the listed description. The net was not installed upon our arrrival. The court is cracked and has large weeds growing up between them. There was leaf and weed debris piled up in the corners and poison ivy encroaching on the court. We are serious tennis players who chose this (more expensive) option for the court which was unplayable. Had we known, we would not have stayed here.
