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!
