Wonderful place! The lake was so beautiful and serene, perfect for a peaceful getaway from the city. We really took advantage of everything they had to offer from kayaking around the lake to grilling on the deck every chance we could. There's one ac unit in the living room, so warm sleepers should just note that the ceiling fan is their best friend in the summer - we had beautiful weather the whole time so was never an issue. I highly recommend staying here!

A warm fireplace to warm the room, overlooking the beautiful lake, as a Swan glided across the lake.

It was such a delightful stay, with all that you could have available in the warm months,

Great house. Very nice spot on the lake. County road behind the house gets pretty busy and noisy—loud exhaust pipes must be a thing in Dutchess County. Really nice owners and not too far from NYC.

Great kitchen and very well equipped. The house was super comfortable for our group. We enjoyed the chairs on the dock but it was too cold for kayaks. They would have been fun on a warmer weekend though!

The house is beautiful, light and airy. Kitchen as a dream, fully stocked and ready to go. Closets in every room with abundant hangers. There is a surprise 4th bedroom downstairs (curtain for a doorway so not counted)? There is only 1 air conditioner and it’s in the living room. Most nights it was not a problem with the breeze off the lake and there are ceiling fans and circulating fans in the bedrooms but be aware. The lake is amazing and front and center in all the views from the house, upper deck and dock. It’s quiet and peaceful with no motorized boats at all. We had coffee on the dock every morning. Dinner was on the outdoor upper deck nightly. We kayaked almost daily and it was approximately a lazy hour round trip. We also went into Beacon a few times - glass blowing, bourbon tasting and shopping. What a fun town! Supplies came from Decicco’s and everything from the pizza made-to-order, fresh sushi/salad bar and the seafood was delightful (just 12 minutes away). We’re hoping to book in again next years. We’re lake people now!

Such a great house. So clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our in laws were able to come over and we cooked out and everyone had a place to sit. We enjoyed coffee by the water in the AM and the house had a pretty view. The supplies provided were so great as it kept us from having to buy EVERYTHING as we flew here from Atlanta. .

Beautiful Lakefront Property

We absolutely loved our stay in this home. We stayed for two weeks in mid-October and it was amazing. The property was extremely clean and well kept. The kitchen and bathrooms had all the amenities we needed, and there was so much to explore nearby. We hope to stay again.

Great Family Getaway

We’ve come here several times and enjoyed our stay each time, particularly our 2 young kids. The home is exactly as advertised in the pictures and description. Rebecca is very thoughtful and responsive. Kids had a great time playing by the private dock and kayaking and are already clamoring to come back.

Nice and secluded with great fishing

Stayed here when it was cold and rainy but had good internet and plenty of games for the kiddies. Absolutely love the dock and there are kayaks provided which we didn't use since it was cold. My kids are young and caught two large mouth bass on kiddie poles the first day.

Amazing Lake House

We were looking for a peaceful family getaway from NYC. Everything was exactly as advertised in the pictures and description. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We have very young kids and they had a great time. They especially enjoyed the swings. Quiet and serene lake environment which was exactly what we were looking for. Very much enjoyed our visit.
