About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Bourne
This house has been in our family for 5 generations. We have been blessed to have made wonderful memories here. My family and I live outside of NYC - we try to spend as much time up at the house as possible, but with kids getting older and busier, we have some time we feel we can share our camp with others.
Why they chose this property
One of the best places on the lake. The property sits atop a hill and looks down onto the lake. The side of the lake gets more breeze (=less bugs) and wonderful sun sets. The boat house makes for a fun place to be with a long dock right on the lake. Great for an afternoon nap, playing darts or reading a good book in a rain storm. Rustic and elegant living. Great fishing, sunsets and stargazing from the dock. Peaceful and relaxing.
What makes this property unique
The side of lake the property is situated on as well as the boat house and dock.
