Why they chose this property
The neighborhood offers wonderful community amenities, including two pools, a beach, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, and playgrounds. We especially love the calm, the beautiful lake views, and the proximity to the Hudson River.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property special is that it truly feels like home. It’s warm, comfortable, and meant to be enjoyed, not just visited. Our children have grown up bringing their friends here, and over the years we’ve made countless wonderful memories with family and friends.
There’s something about being together on the lake, long days on the water, dinners on the deck, evenings by the fire pit, and time spent simply relaxing—that makes it a place people want to come back to. We hope our guests feel that same sense of comfort, connection, and happiness from the moment they arrive.
