About this property

Quiet Lakefront Retreat only 80 minutes from NYC- with Private Dock

This newly renovated lakehouse is conveniently located on the quiet and serene Lake Dutchess, just 1 hour 20 min away from NYC. Lake Dutchess is a quiet and serene non-motorized lake, perfect for a weekend getaway! Whether you want to kayak in the spring, bbq and swim in the summer, go apple-picking and enjoy the fall foliage, or cozy up by the fire in the winter, this lakehouse is the perfect retreat all year round!

The house was recently gut renovated, and is fully equipped to accommodate up to 6 people. It has a full chef's kitchen, gas fireplace, washer/dryer, cable tv and wifi. There is a BBQ on the deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is stocked with everything a chef will need to put on a show! The house also has a private dock with swimming platform, 4 kayaks with paddles, life jackets, fishing rods and a 12ft shuffle board. The main floor has air conditioning, and all bedrooms have ceiling fans and localized heating. Additional amenities include wifi, cable, Beekman 1802 toiletries, high-quality bedlinens, towels and blankets.

The lakehouse is located a mile off of I84 and is a quick 1 hour 20 minute drive from midtown Manhattan. You can also take Metro North's Harlem Line to the Southeast station , which is 10 minutes away.

Local Attractions include: Beacon (Dia Museum, art shops, restaurants), Storm King, Cold Spring (antique shopping, cafes), Dover Springs, Brewster, Carmel. There are a ton of local hiking trails that have been ranked some of the best in the country. We are just a short drive from the Appalachian Trail, Breakneck Ridge, The Beacon Reservoir and The Fire Tower trails. For kids, we are close to Splashdown Beach water park, and several great local farms and orchards for apple, peach, berry, vegetable and pumpkin picking, and maple syrup tasting! Full details are included in your welcome packet.

For our family visitors, we have a Stokke high chair and baby gate for the stairway, and a full size crib, all available upon request. The kitchen is equipped with kids plates, bowls, and toddler/baby cutlery. We also have two swings below the deck, one standard park style and one bucket style for babies.

Please note the incline down from the house to the lake is steep, so please contact me to discuss further if you have concerns about mobility. The age requirement to book is 28. Due to the septic capacity, we have a maximum occupancy of 6 people.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
