You are too kind! Thanks for choosing our home and for the kind review!
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this property. The house was comfortable, the beds were excellent, and everyone enjoyed having space to relax and spend time together. We especially loved the lake, pool, fire pit, and ping pong table. We enjoyed family meals on the deck and in the dining room, which made for a great gathering space.The location was also very convenient. It was an easy drive to LEGOLAND, close to grocery stores, and made it simple to pick up pizza on the night we arrived.Ilya was very responsive throughout our stay. When we reported an issue with the upstairs shower curtain, a replacement was delivered the same day, which we really appreciated.A few suggestions for future guests: the pool heater did not seem to be working consistently during our stay, additional hooks in the bedrooms would be helpful for hanging towels and swimsuits, and the kitchen could use more silverware for larger groups.Overall, we had a great weekend and made some wonderful family memories here.

Thank you for your kind words. We wish you had mentioned any issues with the pool heater because we can control it remotely and would have been able to troubleshoot any issues. Please consider for any future LEGOLAND getaways!
The host was very welcoming, the little details in the house really made us moms happy. The house was clean and our boys absolutely loved the basement and the access to the hot tub from the basement. The local food was fantastic. We came in the winter, but all talked about how much we would love to be here in the summer as well.

House was perfect for our 50th Anniversary family vacation! Plenty of bedrooms, amazing kitchen, loved the pool and hot tub. Grandkids and the dogs loved the lake - fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding - they did it all. We picked the perfect week for fires at night and looking for meteors. Host was very responsive to any questions and easy to communicate with.
Nice house with a wonderful lake and close to legoland and storm king art center. It had everything I needed and was great for a much needed weekend away with friends

Karl, you and your friends are welcome to stay with us anytime. Thanks for mentioning legoland and storm king art center! We love those places too! We will probably have a hot tub by next year so do come again!
Clean house, easy check in, super beautiful property. Near lots of great hikes. Kitchen was stocked better than lots of other rentals I've been in, with nice appliances that made cooking easy. Lots of activities to do on-site. Would definitely recommend!!

Thank you for taking a moment to give us such a kind review. We loved having you and would always welcome you back!
The home and property are beautiful, and being lake-side is fantastic. The house is spacious, well-appointed, and so comfortable. We loved the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the living room. It was wonderful to have access to a washing machine and dryer. The pool is a real treat. The highlight for me was canoeing on the lake. My dogs were completely fascinated to see geese (new to my city pups), and to run on the spacious back lawn.

About the host
Hosted by Ilya
I grew up in Brooklyn and now live in Manhattan. I am an attorney and so is my wife. My wife and I wanted a lakefront vacation getaway to bring our daughter to on the weekends. We like swimming in the pool, soaking in the hot tub and canoeing out on the lake, trying to catch fish. When we're not using it, we are happy to have guests from all over the world come and visit and enjoy our home.
Why they chose this property
The home is on a lake and it has 4 bedrooms plus a finished basement so we can invite our friends and family to stay with us. We have a dock and lakefront patio with a fire-pit. We have a pool and hot tub. We have a game room. In the winter we have an indoor fireplace and we are so close to so many leisure activities in the Hudson Valley. There is plenty of space to host our family and friends. Oh and it's one hour from NYC where we live. This was a no brainer.
What makes this property unique
Lake, kayaks and canoe for your use. big enough to host extended families or larger friend groups. Heated pool and hot tub. Plenty of parking. The lake is a spring-fed reservoir so it's perfect for any season. Ice Fish in the Winter! The fall foliage is truly magnificent around the lake. What more could you ask for?
