We had a really good time staying here. Feels very secluded even though there are other houses around. Enjoyed the kayaking, fire pit, and the great view of the lake. Everything was great, hope to come back again.

We spent two days in October at this property and had a great time. The owner is very accessible and accommodating. The description of amenities is accurate. The house and grounds are well maintained. Would go back if we had a chance. Many thanks to our gracious hosts.

What's important here is a fantastic location, steps from the water, with kayaks and a canoe. The house has good wifi and space for a big family. Our only complaints were very small things that did not at all outweigh the positives - for example, the posting advertises a fire pit, but renters are not permitted to use it.

We really loved this house. Gorgeously decorated . Super clean. Private and safe. Owner is very accommodative and communicated with when we needed. This is the best house we have ever rented. Was just freshly renovated. We will be back next year for sure.

As soon as the cars were unpacked, my teenage sons went out kayaking. Between that, tennis, the pool, the beach, and walking around the neighborhood, there was always something to do. For those who liked relaxing, sitting on the deck, watching the hummingbirds, and enjoying the lake views while reading was all we could ask for..

I love the house! I visited with a group of 6 adults 4 children. We fit perfectly. The house was very specious and clean. The kids took over the basement and the adults stayed on the main floor, this was perfect for us because we had our adult time. Aldo, was the best. He help all the way and made the process very easy for everyone. He also give us a lot of good information about the area. The only thing we found not to our like was the water for the bathroom. It was running very low to take a bath and at the end of our stay the water pressure was getting slower so it was very uncomfortable to take a bath. Other than that everything was perfect. I hope to come back during the summer since the lake area was beautiful. Thanks

If the property was clean would give a much better rating but it wasn't. Sheets had to be washed, there was a dried up contact left on night stand, the stovetop had crumbs and grim on it and the living room table was dusty and dirty. Says it supplied laundry detergent but there was none so we had to run to store and buy it to wash the bedding

Everything we needed (except a salad spinner - hee hee). We loved having the kayaks - we kayaked and swam every day. Also liked being near the town's Riverside Park where we heard music and saw a film. Enjoyed outside decks on both sides of the house. So many birds to observe from this property.

The house was just what we needed for our kickoff to summer. We had kids ages 6-10. They loved the canoe and roasting marshmallows. The house was clean and the owners were easy to work with. The nearby pool and beach area was easy to get to.

The house was perfect for a getaway weekend to celebrate my husbands birthday. The house was very clean and everything just as described. Aldo did a great job of communicating prior to our arrival so that we had no difficulties getting to the property or knowing where to find things. The lake community is lovely and we will definitely return when we have the chance.

overall a nice place, owner easily available, needs a little more lighting in/out, you do have to use special trash bags($4.00ea) to use dumpsters, steep driveway really slick when leaves are falling, could use more than 1 tv, a lot of wildlife in the neighborhood, when remodel finished will be real nice

The Hudson Valley area offers so many opportunities for recreation: biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing, sightseeing...and all of them are within a few minutes' drive of the house. If you are looking for an active vacation, this is a great spot. Aldo was a great host and eager to make sure he told us all about the property. The house was clean and comfortable with many different sitting areas depending on the weather and your mood. We enjoyed supper and cards on the deck, S'mores by the firepit, and fishing on the shore! We had a wonderful time!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend trip and loved it! The house was clean and comfy, AC worked beautifully, the lake was calm and relaxing while using the kayaks, and it was just a short ride away from high falls - a short hiking trail with a beautiful waterfall at the end. Aldo was a great property manager, able to give recommendations and was very responsive to any texts I sent to him. I would definitely recommend this house.

Our stay was amazing! It was looking for the perfect RESET with my family! 1st let me say Aldo is an excellent host. You can tell he takes much pride in his property! It's evident a lot of thought has gone into the process! The property has 3 bedrooms on the main floor. The master (with an amazing view of the lake through the large bedroom window) has its own full bath. The other 2 rooms use the adjacent Full bathroom which is also shared as the main bathroom for the house. The kitchen is small but it was perfect for us to cook all our meals (we did not leave the property once we arrived). The Kitchen opens into the dining room which opens into the living room. The basement was perfect for the Kiddos. There is a living room with TV , a little room with books and foosball table. Then there is a large bedroom with 3 twin beds and a half bathroom in there. The outside is like a little slice of heaven with an amazing view of the lake. The front door has a sitting porch and even though there is one house right next door its is so private. This porch enters the house through the kitchen. There is also a back deck with sliding doors that lead into the living area. Underneath the back deck is a covered area with chairs and ample space in case there is rain or you want shade you can still be outside. NOW my favorite! as you walk down the back deck there is a patio that has a firepit off of it and it leads to the grassy back yard and straight down to the water. We had a fire to roast S'mores every night! There were multiple Kayaks and 1 canoe that Aldo is nice enough to share with his guests. We took many rides on these and think we are addicted now to kayaking! It was so so peaceful! We really appreciated the opportunity to visit this property. It allowed us to forget about the crazy times in the world at this time! We also got stuck last minute without our dog sitter and Aldo allowed us to bring along our well-behaved small dog for a fee. He had a BLAST as well! Aldo you have done an amazing job with this place! TY for sharing it with us and others! Although this place can't get much better but I do have a few thoughts during our stay that I would like to mention. The kitchen needs measuring cups & maybe a stool or 2 for the end of the counter. The slider door in the Living area is very hard to slide. My mom is older and was unable to take kayak adventures she said she really would have loved a TV in main living area!

We have a great time, plenty space, very cozy, beautiful grounds. Quite, private we love it, my daughters enjoyed the kayak rides, the fire pit and swing outback completed the fun. Definitely we are renting this house again. Aldo the owner was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

Our family group of 5 had a great time at this cabin. Plenty of space, cabin was cozy and rustic. Beds were comfortable, we could have had more people for sure. Huge dining room table great for board games on rainy days. The grounds were beautiful, we kayaked several times - even in mid-October! And the firepit was huge, roaring bonfires every night! We were very impressed!
