Great place, Debra is a great host. Very communicative and detailed. I only wishes they would allow short term renters to use the lake at least for Kayaking. Saying that there are many lakes around for that.

Thank you, Assad; it was my pleasure to host you and your family. So very happy my home provided rest & relaxation. Agreed on the private lake rules, yet Wawayanda is quite the beautiful State Park offering everything water, and only 2 miles up the road. Would love to have you back when you plan your next visit to our area!

We really enjoyed our stay in the quiet setting along the lake. Less than 50 miles from NYC, as it allowed for multiple visits during our one-week stay. Warwick and other smaller communities are nearby. The house had plenty of space with an office and extra storage rooms. Debra was very helpful and generously provided a few things for us to make our arrival easier. We were able to grill out on the back deck on one evening and enjoy a view during our June 2025 stay. We would love to visit again!

great get-away

I stayed at the lake for 3 days midweek, and absolutely loved it. The house and lake are beautiful, and the house is at the end of a dead-end road so it's quiet. Little touches like the chilled beer mug in the freezer, some food staples, and well-stocked kitchen were greatly appreciated. And the bed in the master bedroom is comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again, cons: lack of window shades/blinds, no dishwasher

Thanks, Jeff for your praise about my home; yes I like to provide some extra touches, and am happy you took advantage of them. Indeed, the lack of a dishwasher will be remedied once I do a remodel. I've installed light blocker drapes in master bedroom and blinds throughout now; thanks for input!

Wonderful!

We booked this last minute and it saved our trip. Debra was a fantastic host, going above and beyond, so helpful- it rained a lot during our stay and not only did she tell me where we could buy rain gear but she actually called the store and had them hold some ponchos for me. She also left us fresh milk and eggs which was super helpful, and there were a lot of staples to help us cook, which I have not found to be true at many places. The view was lovely too. Everything was great!

Thanks so much, Sarah for your kind words; so sorry for the abundance of rain, yet kudos to you for focusing on the magnificent views. Was happy to be able to accommodate you and provide you with a 'home' away from home, replete with some convenient food staples. I aim to please my guests and am delighted for this result and your taking the time with these specifics. Please do come back again soon!

Cozy home with beautiful views

My partner, friends, and I enjoyed a long weekend at this amazing lakefront home. The views of the lake from the different decks were stunning - the sunsets were gorgeous and on clear nights you can see thousands of stars! We loved all the decor, books, music, games, and amenities this place had to offer. We felt like we had everything we could ever want/need - the host has thought of and stocked everything. We enjoyed a nice dinner at one of the host's recommended spots, the Landmark Inn in Warwick. We had such a wonderful time and hope to rent this property again soon!

Fabulous stay!

This is a great location and wonderful views of the lake both Inside and outside! We really nice sitting outside drinking morning coffee. Great dining table with views to play games or have a meal if the outside weather isn't cooperating. Where the house is located on the lake it is really quiet. While there is watercraft allowed on the lake, it is a skinny part of it, so the Water skiers etc. dont come into that area. The hose is really well stocked. both with things like Dishes and Basic cooking needs. Debra the host is really nice and very communicative. She really made us feel at home. Looking foward to staying here again at some point.

Roomy home with lake views

The house is in a beautiful location and there is ample space for everyone to relax. The home is very well equipped. It was nice to have some staples in the kitchen and my son was happy to finally play Monopoly. It is so nice to stay someplace with two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and nicely made up. We didn’t use the queen bed on the ground level, it was a little too damp/humid for our liking. There is a dehumidifier available. Debra let us know what to expect and provided good information about her home and the surrounding area. I agree with another review that window treatments in the main floor full sized bed room would be helpful. Great spot for enjoying the views, going for a nice drive or meal or zip lining at the adventure park.

Thanks for your review, David, and indeed, I have installed window darkened blinds in the master bedroom--both windows, so come back and enjoy even MORE games! The lake level bedroom ends up being either the warmest room in the house in the winter, or the coolest in the other 3 seasons, giving renters that choice. Not sure why the dehumidifier wasn't running as you arrived; have spoken with my housekeeper about that to ensure that doesn't happen again; my apologies. Would love to have you back, for everyone to spread out, and enjoy their own corner of the home and it's decks!

What a wonderful trip!

Top to bottom, this was a fabulous five-night getaway with our friends from Chicago. Our host, Debra, was delightful! She sent recommendations for homemade ice cream spots, fresh pies (and hiking spots to burn them off 🙂). She sent videos explaining how to interact with the quirkier parts of the house, as well as a virtual tour of the myriad chairs, hammocks, and other goodies. When we had a question, she got right back to us, and was so charming! Although we never met, I felt we were very taken care of. I hope to meet her sometime to discuss the fantastic collection of books in her library! The house itself is lovely. Very homey and full of character. It has many nice places for sitting and chatting, great views of the lake, books galore, and plenty of ice! (Maybe that isn’t as flashy a selling point as the others, but it is greatly appreciated - you sure notice when it is missing!) Oh! And she has several mugs chilling in the freezer, ready for a nice cold root beer (or your libation of choice) - a lovely touch that shows the thoughtfulness and care that Debra puts into the house and her guests. The area was very nice. We ate at 100 Main in Warwick, a wonderful Italian restaurant that served tissue thin prosciutto and Burrata cream that was heavenly. I highly recommend the Lamb Ragù. We had a breakfast in West Milford at Pop’s Bagelry and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for everything, Debra. My wife and I are already looking for dates to come back!
