Why the Owner Chose Red Hook
The location of our lake cottage is ideal for a getaway from the stress and fast pace of the city. The privacy and tranquility of the lake and cottage is so inviting and peaceful. Our favorite is all of the wild life we see almost daily, such as deer, turkey or geese , rabbits , hawks, heron, swans and an occasional eagle. The wild life is abundant in the area.
Great U-pick farm throughout the summer. Gigi market is a good bike ride from the cottage for a great gourmet skizza pizza and salad.
Owner's Map of Red Hook
Our family (Bruce, Deanna and our daughter Olivia ) moved to the New York Hudson Valley area in 2000 from the west coast. Deanna has been a flight attendant for 24 years and enjoys both flying and being home . Our daughter Olivia is now going into high school and has enjoyed the country life and Red Hook's wonderful school system. Bruce worked in hotel management on the west coast for 20 years and decided a different lifestyle was needed. We had only planned on staying here for a couple of years but fell in love with the area and community and decided to stay. We built a vacation rental on our lake property to give Bruce a project and combining Bruce's knowledge of the hotel business and Deanna's bed and breakfast background from Napa Valley , California, the lake cottage has evolved into a wonderful full time business. We are grateful to our many repeat guests and our new guests for making it such a success.
