About this property

Contemporary Cottage less than an hour from NYC!

The quaint, lake town cottage is just a few short minutes from several private community beaches and sits on a quiet lot off the main country road.

The house was originally put up as a single room summer escape. In 2021, we finished a complete gut renovation. The finished house was recently featured in Dwell magazine.

We've provided modern luxuries for our oasis in the woods while maintaining its quaint feeling!

Summer Guests enjoy several beaches with lake access in the community. Guests can have access for a small fee required by the HOA. Surrounded by forest, there is plenty of hiking in the area as well.

Winter guests enjoy lots of skiing & tube activities nearby:

6 min - Winter 4 Kids
10 min - Mountain Creek Resort
20 min - Mount Peter
32 min - High Point Cross Country Ski

What makes this property unique

The house is a great place to escape to for a weekend or work week away. It's within an hour of NYC, but feels a world away! We have high speed wifi access for business travelers as well guest who want a weekend of Netflix! There are several communal lakes you have access to, as well as lots of hiking and other outdoor activities (sking and sledding in the winter). Or if you're looking for a quite weekend by the fire, you've found the perfect spot. We have our indoor stone fireplace (it's original!) and our new outdoor fire pit. The open living kitchen dining concept is perfect for family or friend gathers, as is the 10' dining table!

For winter guests:
1. Mountain Creek Resort 10 min drive
2. Hidden Valley (Great for kids or ski newbies) 6 min
3. Mount Peter Ski Area (more advanced) - 20 min drive
4. Lots of tubing and other winter activities around as well!

Vernon, NJ - 10 min drive
Warwick, NY - 15 min drive (great wineries, antiques, and farmer markets!)

***The HOA requires a $50 registration fee for guests (paid ahead of time) who want to use the beach amenities, plus a $2/day per person fee when you pick up your day passes. The $50 fee will be assesses once you let us know you plan to use the beach after you book.

***Dogs are welcome (max 3). There is a $50 fee per dog which is paid after you book. $150 fee will be assessed per dog if we're not informed of your pet.

*** For summer and fall dates which are further out, we're prioritizing 5 day bookings or longer. If you're looking for a shorter stay, send us a message and we will try to accommodate you as best possible. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
