The house was beautiful. It was very clean and great location to the lake. Everything was top quality. The house was beautifully made. Communication with Michael was wonderful. My only comment would be that for that price. I would’ve expected coffee to be supplied and some basic spices because the house is very remote so to get to any type of Store was at least 20 minutes. My experience with other rental top quality properties such as this, that snacks were provided water, coffee, and basic spices. The kitchen was supplied with wonderful pots, pans and utensils. That was very complete. Overall, we had a wonderful time and we brought our dogs and it was a very comfortable environment for them as well. I would definitely rent again through this group.
Beautiful house and gorgeous location! Absolutely loved that it was dog friendly. Great open space for all the family to be together. Would definitely stay again.
We had a fantastic stay at this charming chalet in the Catskills! The home was warm, clean, and beautifully maintained, with a peaceful setting that made it the perfect getaway.We especially loved the cozy basement — such a great extra space to relax and unwind. The hosts clearly take pride in their property, and it shows.
This was exactly what we needed for our quiet weekend getaway. Plenty of natural light with all the windows to enjoy the day inside, but also nicely kept outside to enjoy the day outside. Went on the paddle boat and worked great. Cute little lake to paddle around. All appliances worked when we were there, temperature inside was never a problem. Fire pit out back was used a couple times. Perfect little tucked away cabin. There were multiple other cabins nearby along the lake, but I think we may have been the only ones there during our stay in early April.
Tha cabin was perfect. Exactly what our family was looking for. We would like to stay again
Can’t wait to come back in the summer!!!

This is a beautiful location, with a spacious and clean house. It is exactly as described in the listing and the communication and check-in/check-out process seamless. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back again hopefully soon.
What a wonderful cabin with everything you could want as well as a beautiful lakeside view. We had such a great and relaxing time, and we are already planning our next trip.
The cabin was a perfect place for my family to stay in. Large communal spaces inside and out with lake access. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the cabin was extremely clean.
Private fall paradise. Everything was clean, the view and surroundings were spectacular during October with the foliage. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend with friends. Thank you!
This was a wonderful cabin located off the beaten path. If you are looking for a quiet location and a nice cabin this place is for you. Our stay was in the winter, so there were very few people around, but it was just what my friends and I were looking for.
We had a great time enjoying the home with our adult children. We had a campfire two nights with s’mores, and went out on the lake with the kayak and peddle boat two days. The home itself was great, very comfortable and clean. We got to see the tail end of the leaves changing. We went to Hanford Mills museum (very interesting) and Hall of Fame at Cooperstown (lots of fun).
