Lakeside Retreat w/Fire Pit & Skylights

Escape the noise and reconnect with nature at this peaceful, pet-friendly lakeside retreat near Port Jervis — where wildlife roams, the forest surrounds you, and a private lake is just steps away. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck, spot deer passing through, and unwind by the fire pit under string lights after a day of exploring. Fully renovated with modern comforts, this cabin is perfect for couples, families, remote work, or anyone craving a relaxing getaway just 90 minutes from NYC.

What Makes It Special

Private lake access to Serene Lake — a rare perk reserved for select properties, not open to the public. Add a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs and string lights, cathedral ceilings with skylights that pour in light, and a wooded setting where deer wander past your deck, and you have a true escape that still sits just 90 minutes from the city.
