Why the Owner Chose Greenwood Lake
We love Greenwood Lake. No matter what the season the area is alive with activities and natural beauty. The 9 mile lake has it all. Beautiful homes, great restaurants, friendly people, and honest outdoor pleasures.
The Unique Benefits at this Country House / Chateau
Our favorites are the drive in theater, the wineries, the ice cream shop, and driving the pontoon boat to see the splendors of the area from the lake. It truly is a wonderful house and no matter how many times I go there it never gets old. In fact my wife is upset that the property rents as well as it does. We hardly get to use it anymore!
Sand beach with lifeguards for swimming. BBQ Grills, music on Friday nights and beautiful views make this a must stop on your visit to Tara House. Fireworks on select dates.
Great restaurant and bar. Outdoor dining, fireplace, music on weekends.
Home of the Winter Carnival every Presidents Day weekend and Octoberfest. Good food, atmosphere, lakefront, marina and more.
Owner's Map of Greenwood Lake
My wife and I purchased Tara House during 2004 as a flip property that needed to be renovated. After the renovation we fell in love with the house and decided to keep it. It is the perfect family reunion home. We use it as often as possible, and enjoy different activities throughout each season. Our house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your family and friends.

Mr. Lynch: Just wanted you to know we were out early this morning and all on our journeys home! We truly appreciated the rental use of your home as it allowed us to have a wonderful reunion with the family and spend time together 24/7. Something we have not done in years! We believe it was one of the best Thanksgivings we have ever had and look forward to doing it again in the future!! As requested, all dirty linens and towels were folded up and placed in laundry room. (We did re-make the beds with the comforters only). Garbage and recyclables were left in the garage, dishwasher was put on prior to leaving, and door was locked behind us! We trust you will find everything in order and in its place. (A family of 4 girls ages 40 - 50, with Mom over our shoulder to assure it looked better than when we entered it)!!! Thanks again! Let me know if you need anything else and will look forward to connecting with you again! Sincerely, Jackie

We stayed at Tara House over West Point's Ring Weekend - our Cadet just LOVED the spacious home and it was the perfect distance away from USMA...not too far to go back and forth but far enough that he felt like he was getting away. The Greenwood Lake area is beautiful, with lots of nice restaurants and places to visit. We enjoyed a cruise around the lake on the pontoon boat and cooked some great meals in the HUGE kitchen. All of the bedrooms are big and comfortable, and the owner was thoughtful and attentive. We would love to come back again!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Great time at lake front home!!

We really enjoyed our Ladies Weekend at Tara House. The living area is beautiful and comfortable for a group. The kitchen is a cooks dream! The outdoor space, yard, lake, decks, and hot tub were perfect for our warm spring weekend. The owner was pleasant and accomodating to deal with and I would highly reccomend this rental. Thank you!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again. Best regards, Kevin

Tara House was a beautiful getaway for my group. From the wonderful kitchen, entertaining game room, five bedrooms, and expansive living room, Tara House is an excellent place for large groups. The house we very well maintained, cleaned, and decorated. We enjoyed all this house had to offer and cannot recommend the house highly enough!
Owner response:Thank you, Ryan. The West Point Cadets are always welcome at Tara House. We look forward to seeing you again. Go Army!!!!!

I stayed at the Tara house with a group of 7 guys for a bachelor party weekend. The house was all that it claims to be and more. We planned on being outside on the lake and deck most of the time, however, the back up plan for rain was to be able to be inside the house and comfortable. When it did rain, we were not disappointed as the house is spacious. The game room is the best room I have ever played ping pong in, great lighting and table placement. If you were in a room upstairs, you could hardly even hear the guests downstairs, I would imagine people with kids would appreciate this. Hot tub was great. House was clean, and every thing functioned as it should. Kitchen and outdoor grill are excellent. In fact, we only left the house to go food shopping. We booked Tara house because it included use of the pontoon boat. If you are interested in fishing, or even swimming in the lake, you need the boat to get out to the main part of the lake, as the house sits on an inlet that tends to get very murky and overgrown with weeds. The boat runs, but we were not as confident in using it to take us too far, as it frequently was difficult to start, and one of the guys we were with knows what he is doing( he owns a boat), so it wasn't just a lack of experience on our part. That said, for the price of the rental including a boat, this place rocks!!!! We couldn't have found a better deal. Highly recommended.
Owner response:Thank you. I do hope you will stay with us again in the near future with your beautiful bride! Have a Happy Wedding Day and a long life of health and happiness! Kevin

A group of girlfriends and I stayed at Tara House in February. It's a perfect house for a group gathering. The open kitchen and large dining room table are great for cooking and eating. The house was in great shape and a great size! (We especially loved all the bathrooms!) The property and lake are beautiful. We will definitely try to stay at this house again. Thanks!
Owner response:Thank you Amanda for the kind words. We also hope to see you back at Tara House real soon.

This home is huge and clean and right on the the northeast finger of Greenwood Lake. The home has everything you need for a great vacation. The kitchen was to die for. It has a full size stainless freezer, full stainless refrig, granite topped center island and counter tops, an oversized stainless oven and a great view of the lake. The owner was a wealth of information and we can't wait for our next visit.
Owner response:Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope to see you again real soon!
