My wife and I chose this cottage as a place to have a quiet reading retreat away from the everyday. It was a perfect fit for us in a nice quiet neighborhood right on the water. We were able to relax either sitting on the deck or simply opening the windows to feel the breeze and hear the waves.There were a few nearby towns with nice restaurants for lunch and dinner, and smaller options close by as well.Helena met us as we arrived to show us around, and then we spent some time chatting with her and her husband Noel as we were heading out. They were both very pleasant and made us feel welcome.We would absolutely return here.

We really were right on the lake, which was magical. If you love swimming and canoeing or simply sitting by the water, this is the place for you.

Very Relaxing and clean.

We stayed 4 nights. It was great to wake up in the morning to be welcomed with a beautiful view of the lake. Breakfast and dinner with a view, what more can you ask for? Nearby are local breweries and wineries with a beautiful view. Our stay was relaxing as planned.

Great getaway close to NYC

Had a wonderful weekend with my wife on the lake. The perfect escape from NYC—and a quick one, too. Helena and Noel were tremendous hosts and ensured we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay. We will be back!

Paradise

We enjoyed our stay on Orange Lake so much that we didn't want to leave. Very relaxing and comfortable to sit and gaze at the water. Excellent WIFI and a marvelous view of the rising moon. We truly felt like we had found a slice of Paradise.

Great host and great location

Helena is an amazing host appointing the cottage with everything we needed for our stay. She greeted us and showed us around which was truly an extra step and we appreciated it. The lake view was exactly what we had hoped and the location of the cottage relative to all the places we planned to go made access to everything quite easy. Top-notch place and we will definitely book here again the next time we are in the area.

Relaxing getaway for 2

Noel and Helena were great hosts and provided us with everything that we needed. They were a lovely very friendly couple. It was very relaxing location with beautiful sunrises. I enjoyed getting out on the kayak every day. The hour and half kayak around the lake is very peaceful.

This is a charming little cottage with a beautiful view of the lake. A perfect getaway equipped with everything you need to be comfortable and more…well stocked kitchen to a great record collection and books to read while enjoying the peacefulness. Helena is an excellent host providing an extra touch to make your stay special. My time at the lake was way too short. Can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful location, comfortable property, attentive host

We spent eight nights here in mid-November and enjoyed it thoroughly. Helena made sure we had everything we needed. Watching the sun rise over Orange Lake was a daily joy. When we weren't relaxing in the cottage, there were plenty of things to keep us occupied within a short drive. Catching the Metro-North train from Beacon was an easy way to spend a day in Manhattan. Overall, it was a great getaway and we definitely hope to return in the future!

Records by the Lake

We got this place for my parents while they were visiting. They absolutely loved it! It was clean and had anything you needed even an extra toothbrush. One highlight was enjoying the evening on the deck and listening to old records. The kayaks were a nice touch also. This place was just what they needed to reset after much touring and visiting. They said they will always try to stay here.

Paradise on Orange Lake

The cottage on Orange Lake was as good as promised in the listing - and better. Helena is very gracious and helpful, giving us information about things to do in the area, where to shop for food and wine, etc. Check-in was a breeze. The cottage is lovely, comfortably furnished, and the location was divine. Just sitting in the rockers on the deck lowers your blood pressure instantly! The view is so beautiful, and even more so from the kayak that she let us use. This is an excellent getaway from NYC and it takes very little time to get there. We will definitely be going back - again and again!

Lovely Lakefront Getaway

Smooth, easy, efficient, and friendly from start to finish. Host was very accommodating and the cottage was ideal for two guests. Back door is ten feet from beautiful Orange Lake. This was an off-season (November) rental so no lake fun other then feeding the gulls. Intend to return when swimming and kayaking possible. Excellent choice and highly recommended!

Lovely cottage on Orange Lake

This lovely little cottage is right on the lake. It’s immaculately kept, Helena was very responsive and helpful. Although the cottage is immediately behind the owners’ home, we only saw Noel once. He was warm and friendly but not at all intrusive. We did not get to meet Helena.

A week in Paradise

My wife , Linda and I can't properly describe the beauty of the lake which is right outside your door. On the morning the sun lights up the house and in the evening the moon shines its bright light on the lake creating wonderful patterns on the water. Swimming in the lake during this hot spell this last week was a blessing. There are two kayaks which we didn't use because we are seniors and not up to the task but I can imagine how wonderful it would feel to kayak on this large, wonderful lake. As for the hosts, Helena and Noel, they couldn't be more welcoming and delightful to talk with. It was a pleasure to spend a week here and we will return next year.
