This enchanting Catskill Mountain lake front house which is a stones throw from the lake is a "home away from home". Many windows and glass doors allow for an "inside outside" experience with a comfortable deck overlooking the lake. Take a canoe ride or walk on the iced lake January through early March. Enjoy the peace and quiet of a 50 acre lake.

The house itself is on a small road; there is a neighboring house on one side separated by trees and foliage, with forest and lake on the other three sides. There are two bedrooms and one bath. A spiral staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom with a queensize futon bed, skylights, sleep sofa and balcony. One bedroom is downstairs with a queensize bed and you awaken looking at the lake. The living room has cathedral ceilings, glass exposures to the lakeside with a fully furnished kitchen. Wood-burning stove, in addition to the oil furnace, makes it very cozy on chilly days. There is original artwotk, rugs, etc. which add to the charm of our house. All cotton linens, with flannel for cooler weather and down comforters.

Many all season activities are close by, some within minutes, others within a 30 to 45 minute drive.

A smaller ski resort, Holiday Mountain (in Monticello) is 35 to 40 minutes drive.

Come and rejuvenate in a "retreat" from worldly cares! Roam the country-side or bring books and good food and observe the lake with all it's many moods. Just recline on a sofa and look out. Down the "hill" (10 minutes) in tiny Ellenville, you'll find grocery stores and a couple of restaurants - an excellent one where reservations are recommended.

  Manuela ,
  • I have stayed in so many cabins before in NY and this one was by far the best. My family and I had a great time, the house was so cozy and we felt very comfortable and welcome. The lakeview is very relaxing and we look forward to coming back. Thank you John and Carrol. Your warmth and graciousness can be felt as soon as we step into your house.

  • 7/17/06 My family enjoyed a relaxing week in this beatiful house. Carroll and John were gracious hosts and we had everything we needed. It is perfect for reconnecting with each other. We used the Direct TV & High speed internet, but also had an uninterrupted 5 hour Monopoly Marathon. Thanks for a great week.

  • This house is beautiful. It was the perfect retreat for 4th of July weekend. We would wake up to the geese on the lake, then canoed out to the beach for a morning swim. Carroll are John are incredibly nice and the kind of people you want to be friends with not just rent a house from. I definitely recommend this rental.

  • Canoeing on the lake, BBQ-ing on the deck, and relaxing with friends...the lakehouse served as the perfect weekend get away. It was wonderfully kept and had everything we needed. Carroll and John were gracious hosts and we look forward to future visits!

  • The house was a wonderful getaway. A family of geese kept us company all weekend as we enjoyed sitting on the deck, looking out over the water day and night, and doing absolutely nothing at all. Carroll and John were fine hosts and we had everything we could have wanted. Thank you both. Hopefully we can visit again soon.

  • Relaxing and refreshing! Heretofore, my only experience with NY was the city. Frankly, I did not know what to expect. Being at this lovely retreat was like a step back in time. Sitting near the wood-burning stove, walking the streets, gazing out at the peaceful lake, preparing and enjoying meals together with friends, and sleeping in the wonderful loft were reminders that life was not intended to be a "rat race." I look forward to returning next fall.
