Great stay for our family! Our communication with the host was very responsive!The kids liked the sandy beach & play park!It is an older home with a steep staircase. However, there is a baby gate installed.It’s in a quiet neighborhood & access to a wonderful lake with beautiful sunsets!

Good property, stairs up were pretty steep for young kids and no tub for baths. No Central air so thankful two bedrooms had wall units!

Everything was good. Like amenities such as water and dock close by. Use of kayaks and paddle boards was a great bonus. We never could get WiFi to work which was kind of a bummer. The area and the lake are great.

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.

This was our 4th year at this property. We enjoy the location, the lake, and the house. A\C for the front bedroom is still on our wish list. The landscaping could use an update. We'll be back!

Enjoyed our stay!

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!

Nice for a couple days away. I think the property is as it is described. The amount of space was awesome. There was a rancid smell in the fridge and the upstairs toilet ran. But I’m sure those have been fixed.

This was our 4th or 5th year at this location. We do love it. The house layout works well. Nice open kitchen area with good sized table. The couches aren't super comfortable but work well for the kids to watch movies or play games on the large square coffee table. Full bath upstairs with half bath on main level are a plus. Large backyard area. The beach needed clean up and I did rake some; clean up crew came on day 2 and did a very good job on the beach. My suggestions for improvement include the following: An A/C unit in the south window of the front bedroom and a bigger capacity unit in the living room to handle main floor. This year was 90 temps and maybe a newer unit would be more economical overall. We do use fans to circulate air, close blinds and be sure doors stay closed. A deep cleaning inside at least once a year. Sometimes there isn't a lot of time between rentals and getting walls and window sills cannot be done each time. Clean up the landscaping. Trim up along creek. I realize that it is difficult to get right up to the creek when it's wet; however the extent of overgrowth indicates this not getting maintained. This is a home that I lived in as a child and we treat it like family. In closing, we loved our time here and will be back.
