Enthusiastically writing a review of our VRBO.We loved our stay this past weekend May 2026. We were a party of 4 adults.Home was spotless, well decorated and so cozy and comfortable. The attention to detail was impressive. Love the views of the lake. We were there for a concert at Bethel Woods. The quick drive to and from the venue made this choice exceptional. The lake was beautiful and relaxing full of sunshine. We wish we had more time to enjoy the kayaks. Looking forward to going back soon!! Hosts Glenn and Kim are the absolute best. We hit the jackpot with meeting them!!

Thanks for visiting! We are glad you enjoyed your stay - it was fun seeing you catch fish! We hope to see you again!
This is probably the cleanest rental home we have ever stayed in; even the bathroom was spotless. The living room had a comfortable, giant sectional. It made for excellent lounging after a day of activities. The kitchen has about everything you need to prepare meals, but the hosts have recommended restaurants as well. The ACs in every room were delightful, though it was often comfortable enough to have the windows open and ceiling fan on. We also made good use of the propane grill and patio table. We only stayed a few days, but enjoyed paddleboarding, swimming in the lake, outdoor lounging, and nearby dining and shopping. We also visited the Buck Brook Alpaca Farm in Roscoe (a quick drive away and great for families). Though the inside of the house was immaculate, the lake area is plagued with pollen in the spring. This is not the hosts' issue, but they made every effort to clear the debris from the patio area and the gazebo. The unit is a standalone building behind the hosts' house. The big house is on the lake, and this is just behind it. It is only a small slope away from the water. This may make it less accessible for those with mobility issues, including the fact that the house entrance is up a flight of stairs. But you have a lot of privacy, and the incline down to the water is not too steep. All-in-all, we had a great time! The hosts are very friendly, and were quick to respond to any request or question during our stay. We plan to visit again in the future.
one of the very best rentals for certain. will return
the rental and GLENN AND KIM are truly great people
the location on the lake can not be better

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! We enjoyed meeting you, too and we could not ask for better guests. We hope to see you again!
This was our second visit, but surely we'll not be our last! Glenn and Kim are gracious and wonderful hosts, the property is private, comfortable and perfect for stays of any length! Maybe next time around we will get a chance to try out the kayaks! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
The room although not a house, it's on top of a garage is perfect for a stay in the Bethel area. Plenty of room and totally spotless. Glenn and Kim are super nice people. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you, Don, for your nice review. We enjoyed meeting you and Lori, and we would gladly welcome you back again. Just to clarify for others considering a reservation, the cottage is much more than a room. While built over a spacious garage building, is the only unit in the building and is constructed well away from the main house. As the photographs show, the cottage faces the road and has its own driveway, entry, deck and yard. Inside, the guesthouse includes two separate bedrooms, a bathroom, and a great room comprised of the living room, kitchen and dining areas, affording the same privacy and space as a freestanding house.
We had a great time, visiting Woodstock grounds, swimming in the lake and exploring the area during the day and relaxing on the deck in the evenings. Very comfortable, clean and well appointed apartment. The hosts are very welcoming and flexible.

We had an amazing time here. We’ve never been to white lake and decided to book this little trip and it was better than we imagined. Glenn and Kim made the experience so relaxing and fun. They went above and beyond and we couldn’t have been happier with our weekend stay. We’re absolutely going to be back!

My kids and I could not have enjoyed our stay any more! The house was recently renovated and impeccably clean. Everything we could have needed was there - all the comforts of home. And Glenn and Kim went above and beyond as hosts, even surprising us with some fireside s'mores! I simply can't say enough how wonderful our stay was!

We loved how cozy Kim and Glenn’s cottage was. It’s a quiet neighborhood with lake views. Even in the dead of winter the lake has a very calming effect. We especially loved their super comfy sectional sofa. We’ll be back when we can take advantage of the lake.

Everything was wonderful and the hosts were amazing! The apartment is over the garage and is beautifully decorated and we had access to the gazebo, beach, dock, kayaks, and paddle boat. The hosts greeted us when we arrived and were available to share their knowledge of the area. We plan to return.

Eileen, thank you for this wonderful review. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again!
Just come back from a nine-day fabulous stay at Glen & Kim's property on White Lake. The two-bedroomed Guest House has great views of the Lake, is spotless and beautifully appointed with everything one might need for a relaxing vacation. The lakefront garden and mini beach are well maintained and we spent many an hour relaxing on the dock/deck watching the array of boats and swimmers on the truly picturesque lake.
Our hosts were gracious and we look forward to returning for future visits - thank you Glenn & Kim!

Amazing hosts, super clean, and beautiful lake access.
The hosts were super accommodating. Our check in was seamless even with a last minute change of plans on our end. They are friendly, kind and super knowledgeable about the area. The cottage was super clean, well equipped and perfect! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. My only regret is that we had too many plans and didn’t get to enjoy a glass of wine on the dock, which will be the first order of business on our next stay here.

Thank you, Michelle, for you lovely review. We so enjoyed meeting you and Geoff, come back any time for that glass of wine!
We loved Glenn and Kim’s place in White Lake. Everything is new and clean and the location can’t be beat! The water in the lake is clean and a pleasure to swim in, as well as do any water sports. The town is small but restaurants are good. The guest house was perfect for two, but could easily hold two couples or a small family. Glenn and Kim were gracious hosts and easy to work with. If you are looking for a place in White Lake, this is the best!

My family and I had a wonderful time. The Lake house was very comfortable, extremely clean with fabulous views of the lake, a well appointed kitchen, very quiet and good sleeping. The property has a private access and beach to a lovely lake. We felt so comfortable, we weren’t quite ready to leave. The owners are very warm, hospitable and helpful. All in all, we had a great time.

After coming to White Lake for 31 years just 2 blocks away, it was great to come back. This time we had to look for a new place and luckily we found this waterfront rental, which was not an easy task. The hosts Glenn & Kim are great people to deal with. The location is perfect. The apartment is impeccable, very modern and tastefully decorated.
We are really enjoyed our stay there!
We will definitely come back!

About the host
Hosted by Glenn and Kim
Hi, it's Glenn and Kim. We live in the main house on the property, so we will be your neighbors. This will be our fourth year renting our guest house, and we have met so many wonderful people. We are looking forward to this season and we would be so happy to get to know you, too! We want to assure you that the cottage is located far enough away from the main house and is positioned so that the entry is in the opposite direction. That and the fact that you have your own private driveway, deck and front yard assures that your stay will be private. While we do everything we can to respect your privacy, we are available should you need anything or have any concerns during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you to the Jewel of White Lake!
Why they chose this property
Of course, the best thing about this neighborhood is it's location right on the shores of beautiful White Lake. It is a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to restaurants, breweries, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, hiking, and all the other scenic and recreational opportunities that the Catskill Mountains have to offer.
What makes this property unique
Our well-maintained property is very special in that it provides you with a complete mini-resort experience. It is the only property on beautiful, clean, spring-fed White Lake that offers rental guests a sandy beach to swim or soak up the sun while also offering a gazebo and dock patio to relax and enjoy your stay. In addition, we provide non-motorized watercraft for use by our more adventurous guests!
