Beautiful, beautiful property with large, clean, modern home. It was roomy enough for the 11 of us, plus a dog. We definitely appreciated the large, well appointed kitchen. All enjoyed kayaking on the lake and lots of swimming in the perfect size pool. All in all, it was a wonderful get away.

This was a fabulous location for our annual family trip. We enjoyed all the beautiful appointments in the house, comfy furnishings, fun games and a superb kitchen to cook family meals. The lake was fun with kayaks but we actually had more time in the pool. Loved that this trip was only a few hours from home! The hosts were superb and responded quickly on any asks. Recommend!

The house was great for our group of 10! Awesome pizza oven, wood supplied. There is some maintenance/ renovation in progress on the house, the curtains in the master bedroom do not close enough to block out morning light, but if you need a six am natural alarm clock it’s got beautiful views. The entertainment and lake amenities were so nice.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were updated and beautiful. The kitchen and dining room is spacious and modern. The kitchen amenities could have been a bit better (no condiments, baking sheets, minimal spices). The sink was not draining well. Deck and basement could use some sprucing up and there were a few minor complaints that the host quickly responded to. There are plans for updates on the house this summer so I'm sure those minor details will be worked out. The lake, dock, kayak and paddleboard were great to have. The large fire pit area was also very nice. Pool was closed when we stayed so I'm not sure how that was. All in all, a great house.

About the host

Hosted by Ben Nahmani

Host profile image
A person who loves nature, peace and fun activities. I set out to find a lake front home that can fulfill my desires to escape the stressful city life and offer a complete disconnect my day to day life. Everybody needs a place to unwind and forget their worries by changing their environment and creating a nice healthy life balance. Staying active in nature with plenty of activities, watersports, and amenities was my dream growing up. Our family comes together and enjoys spending time with one another. We sit by the fire, roast marshmallows under the stars and enjoy each others company. This home allows me to live my dream and share it with other families who feel the same way!

Why they chose this property

This is everything I could have ever dreamed about in a property. After searching for many years I finally found the property that pretty much has it all. Large 5 Acres of private lake front land in the middle of the Catskills. Its a place for me and the family to unwind and relax. Breathe in fresh air and enjoy the peace and quiet from the busy city life. We managed to find a safe haven with a multitude of activities, fun, sports, and relaxation. The most beautiful part is the night sky and clear stars that are almost impossible to see in a city environment.

What makes this property unique

The house is a very large contemporary looking lake home in great condition. It sits on 5 acres of land with about 200 feet of Lake Frontage. It has a private boat launch and an in-ground heated pool. There are activities for all seasons of the year and lots of privacy! There are porches, balconies, decks, and open land to breath fresh air and enjoy the lake views and wildlife. Whether its a snowy winter ATV trip through the wood trails or a sunny summer Jet-ski water-sports day, everyone in the family comes together to create new bonds.

Inside the house offers all the activities you can imagine.
