About this property

Beautiful lake house getaway

This is a wonderful lakefront house on a nine acre non- motorboat lake nestled up against the Shawangunk Mountain range. This two-level house has a beautiful open layout, and tons of light in the spacious common areas. The living room is all windows, facing out to the lake. The huge primary bedroom has en suite bathroom and the main level has two additional bedrooms, one of which has a full/twin bunk bed, the other has a lovely antique full bed. There's a deck, a patio and a private dock for fishing, swimming or boating—the house has three kayaks for guest use! The open kitchen is great for cooking and entertaining.

What a gem of a location and house! Would definitely return. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kayaks were a nice touch too. The lake is pretty small but the lily pads were blooming and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Quiet neighborhood. Very close to Pine Bush for any necessities that you may need. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need for cooking just about any meal. Nice sunny living room/kitchen area. The outdoor deck with another table to eat at was nice too!

I am not a give 5-stars person. This was 5-stars because of the lake. Right outside, a beautiful lake. The house is nice, clean, everything was fine that way, but that lake, right there. We sat on the deck for breakfast and dinner and stared at the lake. It was heavenly.

Lovely lake-side get away

We enjoyed the property very much. The main bedroom was very comfortable, the view from the living room was amazing and we enjoyed the use of the owner's kayaks in the lake. This is a great place to stay for a leisurely visit. We hiked one day, visited wineries another, swam and kayaked, and even just played cards.

The kitchen was well stocked to service our family and friends. We were able to host a couple dinners while we were out and everyone was comfortable. The wifi was fast and reliable. The setting on the lake was peaceful and relaxing. We got to have a beautiful mist in the morning and Canadian geese in the evening. We loved the outdoor seating area downstairs and enjoyed sitting on the dock. The patio was an added bonus! Everyone that came to visit commented on how nice of a rental it was for the area. We definitely got our moneys worth staying there. It is added as one of our favorites for the area. I would let family's know that the stairs and banister are not toddler or senior friendly but they are very aesthetic. That was not an issue with our group but it might be worth mentioning.

Wonderful setting, comfortable house

This home reminded my wife and I of the many ‘lake cabins’ we visited in years past. It is a bit rustic, but very comfortable. The lakeside setting is idyllic. We were initially put off when greeted by the 3 very large dogs next door, but their owners were great at keeping them pretty quiet. The beds and living room furniture were comfortable, and the kitchen was, if anything, overstocked. Evidently the toaster oven was out for repair, but everything else was up to snuff. It was a good base for exploring the region, and we are happy to have chosen it.

Over all pleasant stay

Our family enjoyed our time in the house for the most part. The beds were comfortable and the views thru the large windows were nice. The house was difficult to regulate the temperature. Bottom floors were always cold and top floor was always hot. The smart heat thermostat seem to be set to some schedule. It would never stay on the desired temperature so sometimes we would get back to the house and it would be freezing or it would get cold during the night. The basement were the laundry machines are located was full of junk and a bit creepy and I had to clean up the yard a bit when I got there. Several pool floats from last summer was strewn across the yard and stuck in some bushes. The house has lots of windows which is nice during the day but at night we felt a little exposed, many did not have binds and the neighboring houses are very close. All in all a good stay.

Uncomfortably Lived In

There was open food in the refrigerator, freezer and cabinets. The owner's clothes were in the closets, along with a guitar and other items. As mentioned in another view, it literally felt like we had invaded someone's home. Linens on the master bed didn't seem clean. There was a painted picture perhaps by a child that was just laying on the floor near the kitchen. The basement on both sides was full of junk and felt creepy. If you are going to keep them that way, lock them off.We arrived around 10:00pm at night, and we were so uncomfortable that we chose to leave the property and find a hotel for the night in Middletown while we figured out other accommodations for the week we were spending in the area. We complained to the manager of the property, and they gave us a 50% refund for the week. We accepted it as better than nothing at all, but the property simply is not as advertised. We would not have been remotely comfortable there for a week without significant improvements that were not possible in short order.It can become a great place to stay if it were freshened up and efforts were made to make it feel like it isn't "lived in" by locking away personal items including used food and by removing access to the junk filled basement. Additional attention to making it feel tidy and squeaky clean would also be a big improvement. We hope these changes are made.

Disappointed On Many Levels

We were in town to bury my Mother. Upon arrival the house smelled extremely musty. The tv upstairs didn't work and when I called Mara to let her know, she said that she knew it wasn't working. This was a surprise to me as we realized all it needed was a Roku. Simple fix. Also, this property is advertised as a Lake House, when I mentioned this to Mara, she said it is a Cabin. There was a smoke detector hanging down in the 1st bedroom to the left. Not sure if it was even working. There was food in the refrigerator and cabinets, she said we could use them or just set it to the side, some items in fridge were expired, why would we want to use food that we didn't know who put it there, clothes in the closets, a guitar and more. Felt like we had invaded someone's home. Linens on some of the beds were dirty as well as the floors. Living room carpet had dried contacts on it. Dishes were chipped and not in good condition. Pots and pans were filthy. The beds were comfortable and the views through the large windows was very nice, but at night with no blinds or curtains on most of them, we felt exposed to the neighbors. The basement on both sides was full of junk and creepy. When I mentioned this to Mara, she asked if we needed to use it! That was not my point. Also, there was a dehumidifier in the basement, but it was filthy, so I'm sure it was working up to par. This could be a cute little place with a fresh coat of paint, some T.L.C. and a new cleaning crew.

Hi Dawn First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. While there are blinds for the windows facing the lake and curtains on the sliding door on the side of our neighbors, I can understand you may have missed them; or how your expectations may have differed. Similarly, the washer and dryer are in the basement for our guests’ convenience—perhaps I could have reiterated this information. I wasn’t able to find the expired condiments you mentioned. Wishing you strength and peace during this time. Warm regards, Mara

Beautiful lake views, house is a bit run down

The lake front views are really beautiful, and the house was extremely well-stocked (towels, sheets, cooking supplies, toiletries, paper towels, etc). The kitchen and living room were nice, but there was an overall feel that the property is getting old and run down. The bathrooms are outdated (tiles fell off the wall in the shower and was clearly rotted underneath when we closed the door one time--the host was very responsive and came to do a temporary fix). The master suite is nice with a big comfy bed and nice sheets and pillows. Unfortunately, there is nothing child-safe about the house. The spacing of the stair ballusters is laughably wide, to the point that I never allowed my kids upstairs. Same for the deck outside (which an adult could probably fit through). The house is on a small lake and we had a lot of fun taking out the kayaks. There is a small downtown area with some restaurants and lots of ice cream which we definitely took advantage of. It's also close to some wineries and cideries (we ventured a bit farther to go to Bad Seed). We spent a day at Legoland which was amazing! Overall, it was a nice house with a good location, but it would be worth the owners putting some work into it.

sweet little lake, somewhat deceptive listing about area/house

Hi, We stayed here for the month of August 2022. The woman who manages the property is lovely. The property itself - well, inside the house is okay. The two downstairs bedrooms are teeny and not air-conditioned, the upstairs bedroom is large but floor is sloped, so it sort of feels like you are falling out of bed as you go to sleep. The front room is nice and airy, but the windows are filthy (it looks something like egg was thrown on them, which really shows during the afternoon and evening). I asked to have them cleaned; and right away the house manager had them washed on the outside, but the mess is on the inside under the screens, which I couldn't remove (or I would've cleaned them myself). The real problem for us was outside. It didn't occur to me to asked if the patio was graded. (It is not; it's sloped and made from uneven flagstone), if there was comfortable outside furniture (there is not; just a couple of plastic chairs--no sofa, lounger, even an ottoman), if the place was landscaped (it's not), if the neighborhood is really shabby (it is), and if you less than 10 feet from your neighbor (you are - though they are very nice). The lake is really sweet and perfect for swimming. There's virtually no one ever in it. So that was quite nice. I guess in sum, I think it would be a nice-ish place to go for a weekend, maybe a long one, but it's not comfortable for a month. (Mostly we were two adults--sometimes with two adult children with us, sometimes with a mother-in-law.) Again, I do want to say the house manager and the neighbors were super nice.
