Clean, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, new appliances.TVs in each bedroom and the living room. We were able to access the TV in the living room after two calls and two codes. We are not very tech savvy. I'm retired so the steep, narrow treads of the stairs started to hurt my knees.Nice to have all the bedrooms on the same level with young grandchildren. New windows in the house so there was no window AC in one of the bedrooms. Hard to cool down. Lovely beach and dock, The municipal beach with a slide is one block away so we had two beaches. There is plenty of traffic on the road, we learned to stop and look most drivers were looking out for pedestrians.

Lake Minnewaska Views!

Super cute property with wonderful views and access to the beach. It is apparent this is a well loved family property whose owners chose to share with others. While the circumstances of our trip were for somber reasons, the cabin environment was really nice and comforting.

Cute little cabin. Liked that it had towels, utensils, etc to use as needed. Host was easy to get a hold of with questions. Had some issues with the AC and a breaker but was able to resolve those. Grass in the yard was a little long but didn’t bother us. Overall had a great weekend!

Good but not great

Overall, the property was good. Would have been better with some minor upkeep. Biggest complaint was the number of spiders inside the house. The beach needs some upkeep. We cleaned up some of the debris and weeds, but there were still weeds that were large and need to be pulled. Once the beach was cleaned up, the kids had fun playing in the sand. The water was pretty clean and the views of sunrise and sunset are amazing.

Our 4th Year

This is the 4th summer we've spent at this house! We enjoy the house, the location, the creek, the large back area, the lake. The house is clean upon check in. Communication with property manager is good with timely responses. Areas of improvement include an air conditioner in the front bedroom. Window cleaning to control dirt, bugs, debris. The shoreline should be raked.

Enjoyable

The property and house were great. Could use some fresh couches but decorated nicely. The kitchen was spacious and loved the big table . I washed everything we used before using it. Cabinets and everything in them in the kitchen and bathroom need to be wiped down and washed. They are dirty. I would give it 5 stars except for this.

Fun Place for a Family

We are a family of nine who stayed in this house for five nights. The house is really nice and it is close to everything. The beach area in front of the house was a great spot for our jet skis and the boat ramp was only a block away so very convenient. There is a park with hiking trails within a mile of the property and the little shops and main part of town are only about a mile away also. The house is stocked well with plenty of cooking utensils, pans, etc. We used paper plates and plastic cups so I am not sure about the dinnerware. There were plenty of blankets, towels and sheets and there is a washer dryer there to use. The road between the house and the beach was a concern but we just watched the children closely when they crossed either way. The lake is beautiful with clear water (when we were there) and just had a little algae. It is a big lake and we had a lot of fun riding the jet skis and tubing.

Family vacation

We had a great family vacation and this place was a great central location. The size of the place worked well for us. The nightly rate was fair, but after all the fees i feel it wasn’t a good value. The place was pretty clean, but the shower had moldy caulking, the linen closet had a spider webs so you didn’t feel the bedding was the cleanest and some of the window sils were quite dirty. The pullout couch in the living room had so many stains and smelled like mildew. The main floor toilet wasn’t working correctly from the beginning and the property manager was quick to respond when I informed him. Also, the house is not 17 steps (I believe that’s what the description states) from the water as there’s a road between the house and the water. I also recommend they add some house numbers so when you first arrive you know you’re at the right place. The house is a cute old home and the layout worked great for us. They provided plenty of towels, the kitchen was nicely stocked and keypad entries were nice.

Nice location, close to beach

Overall it was a nice stay. The location with the lake view was very nice and picturesque. The kitchen was well-equipped and the beds, pillows, and furniture was all comfortable. The AC kept the place cool, even upstairs, so that was a plus in the summer. There were only a few problems. The property is old, and as with a lot of old houses, the floors seemed to slant in almost every room. Also, in the master bedroom there were only sheers on the front and side windows, whereas there were blinds in the other rooms and downstairs. There was a problem with the TV programming. When turned on, the TV was locked into Amazon Kids even though we followed the directions in the check-in guide. After consulting with the manager, we were finally able to watch TV. It was a little frustrating, in that it was advertised as having "Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Now. All are signed in and ready to use." At night, the side entrance near the driveway was extremely dark and it was difficult to go up the steps without using our cell phone flashlights. Lastly, the property was a little short on basic paper products (TP, paper towels, napkins). But other than those minor inconveniences, I would say that it was a pleasant stay, with close proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants in Glenwood.

An updated listing would be beneficial, but still a good place!

Thanks for a great stay! We had a great time at the house, and it was a good space for our group. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen items as well as bathroom towels, bedroom linens, kid’s toys, and large outside and indoor table. The backyard was nice, and the grill and play set were enjoyed. We also appreciated the washer and dryer. The dock was nice to use and tie up our boat every now and then. The close boat ramp was nice too. There are a couple things to note that we were disappointed about: there is a road between the house and beach area, the fire pit is not by the creek in the backyard but rather across the road near the beach area, there were no stairs down to the dock (it’s a rocky climb/descent) and the steps in the house upstairs to the bedrooms are very steep. The area where the fire pit was was small over there, didn’t have wood, and didn’t allow all our family to sit around it, so we ended up not using it, which was disappointing. Also to note, there is only one shower and it’s upstairs, which didn’t work well for grandparents since the stairs are so steep, and it didn’t have a bathtub bottom. The third bedroom upstairs did not have a window air conditioner, so it was rather warm even with two fans running. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thanks so much!

Great lakeshore property to stay in

I'd definitely stay here again. We had a family of 6 adults and 4 kids and a small dog and loved staying here Pros: the property mgr was QUICK to reply to needs/ques and gave us his cell#. close to town, boat ramp and public beach, large kitchen and large living room, washer/dryer were nice, the shower was large with great water pressure, the dock, view of sunsets, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath &beach towels, firepit & chairs, large deck on the backside of house, internet/TV's, fans and AC units, Cutco knives! and we could bring our small cavapoo :) Cons: there needs to be STEPS TO THE DOCK (walking on boulders is an accident/injury waiting to happen) the two couches in the living room need replaced (stained and very uncomfortable), the overall upkeep of the property was poor (landscaping, tacky/sticky paint throughout the house, shower grout, felt unclean), kitchen needs decluttered (it was well stocked but cabinets, drawer and counters were full, items could be removed such as the excess spices and amount of small skillets and glasses), no outdoor electrical outlet (need this for cleaning fish), the guest book needs info on how to access the basement in the event of a storm or circuit panel access (we found the key but it should be listed in the book), also the codes for the TV should be listed (we texted the property mgr but he replies FAST so it all worked out), the road betw the house and lake may deter some but it didn't bother us
