Great way to ring in the New Year

We stayed over the Christmas Holiday week. The weather was very mild which allowed us to take long walks around the lake- really beautiful area. The house is very large and spacious but still has a warm cozy feel. Owen is great, very easy to work with. He provided us with lots of good tips on sights to explore and nearby restaurants. We will definitely vacation at the Lakeside House again.

My boyfriend and I spent five nights here and really enjoyed our escape from city living. The house has every amenity you could need and is private and comfortable. It's much bigger than it appears in the photos. We kayaked some, sat near a fire outside each night, took our time eating our breakfast on the huge deck each morning, explored nearby towns, and got to relax surrounded by nature and quiet. Great choice. Owen, the owner, was very helpful and quick to answer any questions.

My family and I just spent a terrific and relaxing week at this lovely vacation getaway near Bethel, New York. We can't say enough at how wonderful the house was and how well it met all of our needs. When we arrived it was spotless and well-maintained. There was plenty of room (we had six adults ranging in ages from mid-twenties to late sixties) and we were all pleased how comfortable it was. Plenty of room to relax, read, play games, or even just to "chill". out on the lovely deck. The area near the property featured a beautiful lake that was great for swimming (a very nice beach is nearby) or kayaking (kayaks were provided), and the road around the lake was perfect for long walks or jogging. Tennis courts were also a 10 minute ride away! Shops nearby provided groceries as well as great restaurants for those nights we did not want to eat in. Twenty miles away we had opportunities to go rafting on the Delaware (a must if anyone is interested), and the Bethel Arts Center provided a great museum describing the Woodstock Festival of years gone by. The owner of this home could not have been nicer as he answered all of our questions and was helpful in giving us ideas of places to go and things to see We definitely would recommend this lovely vacation home to anyone who wants a relaxing and quiet getaway in a beautiful area! We certainly hope to make a return visit one day!!!!!

Friends and I rented house for entire summer. Owen (the owner) is wonderful to deal with. The entire process was so easy, I thought it was too good to be true. House is even nicer than the photos show, house is very large, with many different seating areas so you never feel crowded. House has everything you could ever need, dishes, pots, silverware, etc... Washer, Dryer, dishwasher, gas grill, charcoal grill, pool table, games, and so on. Lake is right in front of house. House is perfect for adults and kids. Whole area in basement filled with kids books and toys. Anytime we've had questions Owen responds asap - I found text messaging to be easiest. If you don't hear from him right away, know that you will soon, Owen is a true sweetheart. The area is just beautiful. Enough kind words can't be said.

We stayed at the lake house for a weekend in February, 2 couples and 3 kids. The house was comfortable and convenient for skiing at a small ski slope that was perfect for beginners. Lots of room and outdoor space to wander. The owner was easy to work with and helpful.

A group of friends and I rented this cabin for a christmas reunion. We traveled from different parts of Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Owen was excellent to deal with and could not have been more helpful in his accomodations. There is good reason that every review on here is five stars! This cabin is simply gorgeous. Three stories, two baths, and directly on the lake! I reccomend a trip to the nearby Woodstock museum while you are out this way. I cant wait to go back in the summer so that we can enjoy the lake! The amount of space and the location that you get are above and beyond! We will deffinitely be back!

My family had such a great time here. There were 11 of us in our group and we fit comfortably ( 8 adults, 1 child & 2 babies). We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful view right from the house. I don't know what was more beautiful watching the sun come up over the lake or the reflection of the moon in it. We loved our peaceful family walks by the lake & through the woods behind the house, not to mention watching the deer playing in the front yard! The open concept of the house was very nice also. You could be cooking in the kitchen, sitting at the dining table or in the living room and be able to talk to each other. It has been a few weeks since my family was there ( 10/16/2010 - 10/25/2010) and we still haven't stopped talking about how much we enjoyed ourselves and our time together. It was a vacation we will never forget. We all left saying the only thing we would have changed would be staying longer. We had the house for 10 days and it was so enjoyable that we still wanted more time there. We hated to leave. It was truly a wonderful experience for all of us. We all ( my husband, daughter and I, my parents, 2 of my sisters and their husbands) would not only recommend this house but look forward to hopefully enjoying another stay there soon!

We were four adults just looking for a quiet weekend within easy driving distance of Philadelphia and Boston. The house was wonderful, the kitchen was very well-equipped, Owen was great to deal with. Would definitely do it again! We walked around the lake each day, a perfect 50-minute walk on a brisk fall afternoon.

We just got back from a great week enjoying this cottage!! The house was huge and had so much space for our four kids and their friends to hang out and have a blast-it has its's own pool table, dart board and large place downsairs for the kids to hang out -especially helpful on rainy days! Rental came with three kayaks which we all really enjoyed-lake is beautiful and the property is so private! Everything is there-just bring yourself ! The firepit area is great along with the huge deck on the house-very relaxing. Owen was the best-very nice to deal with and very trustworthy! If your looking for a great place to go - this is it in more ways than one! We went to the near by Woodstock site and the The Museum at Bethel Woods Art Center. Very enjoyable for all of us! We also went to near by Lake Superior Park and rented paddle boats - also a great time!! Thanks again Owen for everything!
