What an idyllic setting for an easy weekend getaway from NYC. An easy and scenic drive. Beautiful house with plenty of amenities. Laying on the hammock next to the lake or in front of the the fire in the evening could not have been better. And the "Skylight Lounge" porch with a real (mini) disco ball was really fun. Great day trips including Bethel Woods (Woodstock Festival Museum and grounds). We were there for the very beginnings of Fall Foliage but can only imagine how perfect this would be all October. My wife and I are definately coming back.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

We have rented homes before but were really pleased with this home. It felt as if it was our own home not just a rental. Everything was so well provided and the house was in excellent condition. The kitchen had everything we could have needed. The view of the lake was fantastic. The dock was great, my kids were fishing right off it. We would stay at this house again. Thank you Hugh!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children.

I stayed at this lake house over the past weekend and my group had a great time. The owner was extremely flexible and accommodating with everything. The lake is beautiful and the house is perfect for a group of about 6-8. Probably the best experience I have had renting from VRBO. Both decks were excellent and the 4-season glassed in deck was perfect all day and night long. I have had issues with grills at other houses I have stayed at but the grill here was perfect to cook all ranges of food. Each bedroom had its own thermostat and the upstairs was open and perfect for family dining and relaxing. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend at a lake house then definitely rent this place. The kayaks were easy to move up and down the dock and they allowed the guest to enjoy the lake and the fishing was pretty good. Location was excellent with grocery stores only about 15 minutes away by car. Rent this place for a weekend, a couple nights, or a whole week.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+, sightseeing.
