4-Bedroom Lakefront House perfect for families!


Escape to our beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath lakefront house on Sleepy Hollow Lake in Athens, NY. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, our lakefront home is the perfect four-season getaway for families and friends.

Just about two hours north of New York City and minutes from the Hudson River, the house offers the perfect mix of relaxation, outdoor adventure, and easy access to everything the Hudson Valley has to offer.

With three finished floors of living space, spacious decks, and your own private dock, there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the lake. The home comfortably accommodates 8–10 guests, with four bedrooms plus a pull-out sofa. We welcome families of up to 10 guests or groups of up to four couples.

The open great room features a vaulted ceiling and beautiful lake views, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for meals, entertaining, and extended stays. The home also includes two full bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, and it provides all linens and towels.

Spend your days swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking, biking, or simply relaxing by the water. Guests have access to two kayaks, two paddleboards, four bicycles, a gas grill, fire pit, ping-pong table, and darts. Outdoor dining comfortably seats 10, and the downstairs deck is a favorite spot for evening gatherings.

Guests also enjoy access to the Sleepy Hollow Lake community amenities, including two pools, a beach, tennis courts, pickleball, basketball courts, and playgrounds.

Whether you’re looking for summer days on the lake, crisp fall weekends in the Hudson Valley, a cozy winter escape, or a peaceful spring getaway, this is a wonderful place to relax and reconnect.

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.
