Basement Game Room Now Open!!! Enjoy your very own LAKEFRONT GETAWAY with a host of amenities and loads of space to work from home with fast internet (311 Mbps)!

A beautifully landscaped lawn with a Goldilocks-sized in-ground heated pool (open April-October but please check in with us early and late in the season to make sure) and hot tub/spa (open year round). Outdoor deck with BBQ grill connected to a natural gas line so no need for propane tanks.

The lawn slopes down to your very own private dock, containing a fire-pit surrounded by four Adirondack chairs. Extra firewood is provided. Swim to your heart's content in the pool or in the lake or take a soak in the hot tub. Paddle out in our canoe or kayak and try snagging some brown trout or bass (fishing rods not included).

Plenty of room for a large extended family or a group of friends. We are pet friendly but unfortunately very allergic to cats, so only pups are welcome. Please add them to your reservation because we do charge a fee for pets. Two level colonial with over 3,500 square feet of indoor space. Highlights: Bedrooms were gut renovated on this Lakefront Colonial Charmer. New hardwood floors and whole home has been freshly painted and furnished. The recently renovated eat-in-kitchen is designed for creating and eating large meals. The views of the lake from the kitchen, master bedroom, family room and deck are one of a kind.

Toss a log in the fireplace or in the fire-pit by the lake. Grill up some BBQ on the grill outside on the deck while your kids splash around in the pool. Stay warm under the heat lamp in the winter. Watch movies, play Xbox, Nintendo Wii, billiards, ping-pong, whiffle ball or grab the spike ball set in the basement game room.

From taking in the views and dining opportunities of the Hudson Valley, to hiking, canoeing, kayaking. shopping at Woodbury Commons, farm visits to Blooming Hill Farms or Bellvale Farms Creamery, Art at Storm King Art Center, visiting West Point (19 miles), Harriman State Park, Bear Mountain, or Sterling National Forest, Tuxedo Ridge, Mountain Creek or Mount Peter for family skiing, there are no lack of activities for EVERY season.

We had a wonderful month at Ilya’s special lakefront property. The location is superb—direct lake access, while also being perfectly situated for exploring Warwick, Chester, Goshen, Tuxedo, Montgomery and the surrounding Hudson Valley. Ilya was extraordinarily responsive, thoughtful and fair in every interaction. We felt genuinely well cared for and are leaving with very happy memories. We hope to come back!

House was perfect for our 50th Anniversary family vacation! Plenty of bedrooms, amazing kitchen, loved the pool and hot tub. Grandkids and the dogs loved the lake - fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding - they did it all. We picked the perfect week for fires at night and looking for meteors. Host was very responsive to any questions and easy to communicate with.

About the host

Hosted by Ilya

Host profile image
I grew up in Brooklyn and now live in Manhattan. I am an attorney and so is my wife. My wife and I wanted a lakefront vacation getaway to bring our daughter to on the weekends. We like swimming in the pool, soaking in the hot tub and canoeing out on the lake, trying to catch fish. When we're not using it, we are happy to have guests from all over the world come and visit and enjoy our home.

Why they chose this property

The home is on a lake and it has 4 bedrooms plus a finished basement so we can invite our friends and family to stay with us. We have a dock and lakefront patio with a fire-pit. We have a pool and hot tub. We have a game room. In the winter we have an indoor fireplace and we are so close to so many leisure activities in the Hudson Valley. There is plenty of space to host our family and friends. Oh and it's one hour from NYC where we live. This was a no brainer.

What makes this property unique

Lake, kayaks and canoe for your use. big enough to host extended families or larger friend groups. Heated pool and hot tub. Plenty of parking. The lake is a spring-fed reservoir so it's perfect for any season. Ice Fish in the Winter! The fall foliage is truly magnificent around the lake. What more could you ask for?
