Super comfy, well-appointed cottage! It had more kitchen supplies and games than any other property where I have stayed. It is a cook’s delight. The kayaks were great, and beach towels are supplied! I fell in love with the cottage, really.

Beautiful weekend at Camp Kinderhook

We had a good experience. The house came as advertised. Comfortable, well appointed and situated on a picturesque part of the lake. Despite it being late October, we spent a lot of time enjoying the nice decks. We’d definitely stay here again if we’re coming back to the area.

A peaceful, beautiful stay on the lake

This was our fourth summer spending time at John and Regina's beautiful lake house. As our daughters have gotten older (now 5.5 and almost 9) they've learned to kayak and paddle board here. We love this house and will keep coming back as long as we can. Thanks again for a great stay :)

Beautiful weekend family stay!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our two kids and their spouses, all in town for a family wedding. The cabin was beautiful and very spacious and very well stocked with all sorts of supplies! We would love to return for a longer visit in the summer and take advantage of the outdoor space! Reservation and check-in was very smooth and we thoroughly enjoyed the place!

We love this house.

This is our third summer at John & Regina's lake house and we did ourselves a favor and stayed even longer this time. As in past years, the house is so well designed, comfortable and relaxing - the lake is beautiful and we spent SO much time on it this visit. We paddle-boarded, kayaked and swam a ton. Thank you again John & Regina for a wonderful stay.

Great Escape from Fast-paced City Life

This gorgeous lake-side home has so many activities and warm memories to offer. The family and I enjoyed Kayaking on the Lake, making smores by campfire, cooking dinners in the kitchen and eating them on the outside dual-layer porches/docks. Not to mention the abundant wildlife we encountered which made this truly an escape into a hidden paradise. Thank you John and Regina for this stay and hope to come here every Summer.

Best lake house!

Such a beautiful home! My friends and I enjoyed our stay so much. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need and the two decks are so nice to hang out on playing card games and watching the sunset. The kayaks and paddle board are also really fun. This was the second time staying at this home and we love it so much. The hosts were very accommodating and let us check in early and check out late allowing us to make the most of our stay. Definitely recommend this home and hope we get the opportunity to come again next year!

Wonderful cottage and lakeshore experience

Even better than we expected. A very clean and well-appointed cabin. We were a group of six- two couples and two college age children. Spacious for us all to be very comfortable. We grilled on the charcoal grill and cooked all our meals at home - wonderful kitchen. The outdoor decks and kayaks and paddle boards afforded nice outdoor activities.

Get away and relax

What a wonderful weekend we had at Kinderhook Lake. The water was too by low for our boat but we brought our kayak and enjoyed the calm quiet water. You need only to bring yourselves as everything you need is there. Spacious and beautiful surroundings will greet you. Thank you so much for sharing your perfect location with us.

Why they chose this property

We love the lake the mountains and the outdoors...I have rebuilt this house to recreate that old camp feel. one tv and movies for you and the kids.. no dishwasher old school everyone chips in. The main area is set up with a great open feel, so everyone can be together. cable and Wi-Fi

What makes this property unique

Usually there is no one on the lake during the week even in the summer, very quiet.... winters are outstanding.. skiing /snowboarding close enough to totally enjoy.
