Lovely lake cottage, in the quiet of winter, swans and ducks on the lake. We enjoyed both Pawling and Beacon as well as chilling with the great water view and nice area hikes.
Except for the treacherous walk down to the house, Especially at night, it was a beautiful place with great views of Whaley Lake. The open floorplan and the log cabin feel was especially welcoming.
It was a very good mini-vacation for us! There were really gorgeous views!!! The table is perfectly placed letting us have an open view of the lake as we eat, and the interior design and lighting sets a comforting ambience. The house has all the amenities you need, would gladly return during summertime to be able to swim.
We spent a wonderful winter weekend on the lake. The cabin is just as described. Gorgeous views. Great amenities. Good vibes all around. We'll be back.
I stayed at this property with five other friends for a long weekend and we had an amazing time! Being able to overlook the lake from the house and spend all day lounging outdoors is just what we needed. The house was clean and spacious, and the owner was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone looking to take a getaway on the water!
We rented this property for a weekend getaway with our family. Great lake, great house. We loved the view. We will definitely come back! Definitely a little workout to bring your stuff down the steps! But once you are down there its such an amazing time. Owner is super responsive and helpful.
Home overlooks Lake Whaley and offers the opportunity to enjoy the view regardless of weather. Whether from the living room, the elevated deck or at the water level around the fire pit the experience is truly memorable. However anyone with balance problems or other mobility issues should discuss the steps from the parking area down to the house with the landlord.
This is a beautiful family home that has a modernized kitchen, bath, and main living space opened up since we last visited four years ago. It is very comfortable.
I would only caution that the stairway leading down from the parking area to the house is difficult to navigate. It is steep and uneven; made of rock and concrete. I gather it was intended to take advantage of the natural landscape.
There's apple picking, animal petting, and a wonderful place to eat in nearby Pawling. Overall, a lovely experience!
It was the amazing lake view photo that sold us for this rental. It is even more striking in real life. Wonderful cabin with everything you could want for your stay. It is nicely decorated and the updated kitchen and bath were a great addition of modern convenience without detracting from the rustic feel of the place.
Loved the large stone fireplace to warm a cold wintersâ night. There is a good variety of restaurants in the area and antique shops.
During the last day the heavy snow squalls kept us at the cabin and we loved watching the snow sweep over the lake. This was our first getaway during the winter. This will be a new tradition. Charles made sure everything for our stay was perfect.
Thanks so much!
We stayed for a College friends weekend getaway. The pictures don't do this home justice. New kitchen and bathrooms. Lake views were amazing. Huge deck overlooking lake with smaller patio with fire pit. The views from inside the house were just as nice with large windows and a giant great room. The owner was easy to work with and attentive to any need. We will be back! Highly recommended.
Had a reunion with some college friends at the house. Itâs just been renovated and the inside is fantastic. Great communication with the owner. Spectacular Lakeside setting. Cannot recommend highly enough
It was a little more out of the way then I thought, but had all the comforts of home, including great wifi. Beautiful house with an incredible view of the lake with a fantastic double patio next to the deck. Wished it had a regular coffee maker or keurig, enjoyed the espresso machine but couldnât find pods anywhere at the stores. We were down for a graduation, wished we couldâve spent more time at this beautiful house.
The home is comfy cozy and warm.
The lake front property and views are incredible
And the fall foliage was lovely.
Gorgeous fireplace.
Charles was very helpful responding to my inquiries.
We took his restaurant recommendations
And enjoyed several of them.
Town Pizza delivered and that worked great.
The steps counted as exercise.
I would recommend Charlesâ Whaley lake
Home as a lovely vacation escape.
I spent hours in the swing relaxing and reading. You can see the lake from the corner of the living room couch.
That was great too.
Loved the picnic table in the sunroom.
Bed was comfy.
Pictures do not totally due the home justice. Plus some new furnishings too.
You will enjoy your stay and want to come back. Our dog enjoyed looking out sunroom windows too!
The family and I stayed at Charlesâ lake cabin for five days and had a terrific time. The location is great as far as access to all the Hudson Valley a tractions and even the city. Charles was very responsive to our needs. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable fall foliage family getaway!!!
A lovely place to ride out the remnants of two hurricanes...very snug and well equiped with games. Kids enjoyed the wildlife and swim toys on the sunny days, and we enjoyed watching the moon rise over the shimmering lake. Our host was very responsive and helpful. A lovely stay.
Beautiful setting on lake. 2 Kayaks were great, lake is nice and smooth so paddling was fun and relaxing. Parking is at the top and the house is below so there are stone steps leading to house and lake. Charles was helpful when we had questions and the whole process was very easy and simple. Definitely would stay here again!
Hello! My name is Charles Greenwald. I live in New York City and work in the financial services industry. I have a love of the outdoors, and the lake home is one of my favorite places to spend my free-time.
I have been spending time at the house my whole life! Going there with my parents as a child, and more recently with friends, my wife and broader family. It represents the perfect getaway from the everyday city life. It is an easy place to be, allowing for a relaxing, carefree, cozy and most of all fun place to escape! There is plenty to do year round for both kids and adults, whether its a swim in the lake, a bbq right outside or going for a great hike right nearby on the Appalachian trail. Send me an email or call at anytime and I will be happy to answer any questions you have. Thanks!
I find the house to be a truly unique place to relax. It isn't far from the city but certainly feels like you are. It is a fantastic place to spend time with your friends & family and unwind for a short, or long vacation.
