About this property
STUNNING PRIVATE 300 acre lake estate 90 mins from NYC, w FAB BOATHOUSE LODGE.
Just an hour and a half from New York's G.W. Bridge you will find a magical setting to refresh and rejuvenate you. Rustic elegance in a natural setting, the Boathouse offers exclusive privacy for a restorative getaway. Acres of wooded paths for hiking & canoeing on the lake ensures a serene experience.
Escape to a completely private 300 acres and watch the sunset as you fish on the 100 acre lake. Beautifully decorated with Stickley furniture, the natural wood and craftsman touches beckon you to relax, read, canoe, kayak, or enjoy a crackling toasty fire in the wood stove.
This property is unlike any other. It is perfect for the executive who wants to enjoy a country home, but doesn't want to own one... Perfect for the artist who wants to spend a week (or a month) writing the next great novel. Perfect for a warm family reunion, or for the couple who want to lie in a hammock by the stream and read for hours. Our lake is full of sunfish, largemouth bass, and crappies. Beaver, otters, eagles, Canadian geese, bear, quail, skunk, deer, swan, and great blue heron all make their homes in this unique environment. Occasionally we are visited by the loon, and that is a sound to remember forever.
Come explore all the wonders of the Catskills! From the Hudson Valley painters to the hills of Rip Van Winkle, from the old comedy acts of the 50's to the fly fishing camps and wineries of today, The Catskills is a beautiful and historic landscape. Dotted with antique shops and organic ice cream stops, apple farms, music venues, professional theatres, world famous rock climbing, bike paths and fisheries, our neighborhood has something for everyone!
Our Adirondack style boathouse is at once airy, yet warm and cozy. Full of books and games, it is a place for connection and meditation.

Though my private residence is next door, it is off limits to renters and is usually not occupied when guests are enjoying their stay. Occasionally, we will be on the property during your stay.
We also have a campsite on our property, located approximately a half a mile around the lake from the barn & boathouse, which is available to rent for an addition fee. It is a white canvas tent with a platform blow up bed, and a small wood stove.

About the host
Hosted by Verna West
Hi, I'm Verna...and while I'm not pictured, my wonderful team helps me manage this beautiful property when I'm traveling.
I'm a writer, artist and a potter & my work brings me between fabulous New York City, the New York countryside, and California. I fell in love with our National Parks as a young girl, and enjoy hiking and camping with my kids from Yosemite to Yellowstone. On a smaller scale however... :) spending quality time in my country home with my family is just fine!
I have enjoyed sharing my lakeside home with my family, but decided to open it up to visitors several years ago- it is so lovely in all seasons! The reviews and feedback have been stellar - it is truly a peaceful retreat. I hope you choose hOHMe to kick back and enjoy a break in the country!
