We enjoyed the house and lake from the minute we arrived. We are a large group of 18 from adults to infants and there was plenty of room for all of us! We all thought that the host took the time to make sure that anything we even thought about needing was available for our use. Thank you!!

My family, husband and daughter, stayed her with two other families. The space was perfect for the amount of people we had. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had an issue with the hot water at one point and he was right on it with a plumber coming to the house and we had hot water within a couple of hours. The property is beautiful with lots to do on the lake with the supplied kayaks and boats. We would absolutely stay here again! One note though- we did bring a tv with us. There is one tv in the basement and then a very small tv in the primary bedroom. Thankfully we had great weather but I could see the tv situation being tough if it had rained one of the days.

Our second time there. Lots of care and attention by the owner. No shortage of essentials like tissues, toilet paper, life vests, and lots and lots of room for the kids to play. Fishing was great for the kids, lots of pumpkin seed pan fish and short bass. Lots of beds for a large family.

Great home on a quiet lake

The house was perfect for extended family to gather. There was plenty of boats, toys and games to keep us busy. (Life jackets were provided as well). The lake does not have many power boats, so it was perfect to swim.. The kitchen had everything we needed to feed 16 people and there were plenty of bathrooms. We saw lots of wildlife as well.

Great weekend away

We were there for a concert at Bethel Woods. It was about a 15 minute drive which was great. The waterfront is beautiful and plenty of outdoor seating. The house had everything needed. The 2 upstairs bedrooms get a lot of morning sun which is great if you are a morning person. Good communication with owners throughout the process. Thanks.

Great for a group

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the house. The grill and decks are a highlight, as well as the big windows and view of the lake. House comes with kayaks and canoes, plus a paddle boat, that are great since the lake is not ideal for swimming.

Amazing!!!!!!

This was by far one of the nicest houses we have ever rented. Tramendous amout of room that made if feel spacious but yet cozy. The morning sunrises overlooking the lake and the autumn colors made the whole trip worth it. The house had everything, kitchen was fully furnished but unfortunately the coffee pot was cracked. Overall this is was a great vacation rental and i highly recomend it.

Awesome Getaway

We loved this beautiful spacious home ! The lake is breathtaking and my daughter took the most amazing pictures of bald eagles. You can hear the wildlife and it’s so uplifting to spend time here. Stargazing at night and hiking at local parks during the day made this a fantastic way to reconnect with our adult children. The Museum at Bethel Woods is not to be missed . The local barbecue places were top notch. We played games and floated on the lake. We also caught a lot of fish right off the dock!! I highly recommend this home if you want to get away from it all! ( good internet if you need to check in too)

Lake

The house was great for large group lots of space. Great for boating.. Main issue is the swimming ability, really can walk into the water,. Extremely rocky, difficult to stand once you are in the water. Bring water shoes. Really not child friendly. Other than that , house was great.

Beautiful Lake Front

House really needs some TLC. It needs to be cleaned better. Very large, plenty of space for all my family. No sail for sail boat, row boat had a big hole, both bikes did not work, needed tires, jacuzzi did not work. Lake front was spectacular, beautiful property. Enjoyed fishing, Kayaks and canoe. Just wished all was cleaned better and all in working order as advertised.

Wonderful lake front retreat

This is a fantastic vrbo for a large group that wants to spend some quality time by the lake. The house is large, with plenty of beds, various communal areas, and a gorgeous lawn on the lake. Highlights include the 4-burner gas grill on the deck (we used it almost every night given the size of our group, making dinner prep a breeze), the fire pit that seems newly installed, the three decks including a hammock, and of course the lake and dock (including a paddle boat and kayaks that we used throughout the week). While the water is a bit mucky, we had a great time on floats and in the boats that came with the house. A number of us also had a great time swimming, though I recognize it wasn't for everyone. Overall a great house for a great price, we're already talking about coming back again next year!

Peaceful and Fun

Michael's accommodation was such a nice time for 2 couples for a long weekend. We had complete privacy, excellent views, and quiet peaceful surroundings. The provided fishing gear, kayaks, paddle boats were all well used and greatly enjoyed. The kitchen was stocked with all you could need and more in terms of seasonings and utensils and appliances. Michael was an excellent communicator and promptly available via email or phone. The lake surprisingly was relatively deserted, except for a few fisherman in the early morning. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms and kitchen clean and the upper deck BBQ was in excellent shape and cooked food evenly and well. We spent 3/4 of our stay either enjoying the lake or sitting on the lake side dock enjoying the view. Would stay here again in an instant. Thanks Michael!

A little bit of heaven

Beautifully decorated and comfortable like home. The direct view from the living room, dining room and three of the bedrooms are breathtaking. We had lousy weather so we could not take advantage of the boats and fishing gear provided however the view from the back decks were so nice that we spent most of our time on the decks watching the scenery and talking and enjoying my family. It was cold and windy but no rain. The owner quickly answered my question which included whether there was wood for the firepit. There was plenty of it and we enjoyed sitting around a fire one evening making Smores. Although there was plenty of privacy and a beautiful landscape, a few miles away is a supermarket and lots of restaurants in Liberty, NY. Don't miss this one.
