About David Hibbard
Together for 23 years, we've been lucky to have the best of both worlds, the hustle and bustle of big city living in NYC and the peaceful, calm energy of lakefront living. We've had the great pleasure of sharing our home with friends and family over the years, but with life getting busier and busier these days, we have now decided to extend the opportunity to others and share our slice of heaven.
David Hibbard purchased this House in 1996
Why David Hibbard chose West Milford
We were pursing the perfect lakefront weekend home and retreat away from the fast paced Manhattan life. We searched a 75 mile radius map of NYC and honed in on motorboat lakes. We drove to each and every one from CT to upstate NY and found the perfect spot in New Jersey. Upper Greenwood Lake was the ideal distance, (one hour door to door, bridge or tunnel without traffic!) remote yet easily accessible to many amenities, from quaint towns to easy access to grocery stores and big box stores (even they have their benefits). The home provides a relaxed serene retreat with down home comfort.
What makes this House unique
Upper Greenwood Lake is a private motorboat lake which is virtually silent weekdays and boasts the perfect energy on weekends! Comes with many amenities and comforts for the perfect getaway.

This house was everything I expected and more. The photos did not do this property justice. Also, David was a very thoughtful and available host. Everything was so clean and the kitchen was well appointed with any appliance or tool you might possibly need. My family of 4 had a wonderful time here. We loved the amazing lake views and sipping coffee or wine while sitting on the dock. We would most definitely return in the future.

As I mentioned before, I am always so overwhelmed when I walk into the home after a renter departs... finding it just as we left it! I can't thank you enough for loving our home as much as we do, and treating it with such respect! You and your family were perfect guests!
We look forward to your return!
