Outside your whole family can enjoy the canoe, two kayaks and a fishing boat with a motor, and play in the large yard.

Lovely Lake Getaway

We stayed at this property over a three-day weekend in October and it was absolutely lovely. It is located in a nice quiet development and the house was just as pictured. There was lots of space for everyone, including a downstairs game room with a large TV. We enjoyed taking the boat out and found it easy to use the battery-operated motor. The owners were very easy to communicate with and check-in and check-out were seamless. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely Home

This lovely lake home was very well maintained and exactly as pictured. It was clean and spacious. We had a very nice time. The only thing I wish I had known before I booked was that the water off the dock is very shallow and murky, making it impossible for the kids to swim or fish directly off the dock. Other than that it is a great house.

Awesome house, Awesome amenities, Awesome price!

We have a large family that all stay together for a week each summer. This year, we stayed at this house. We were so impressed by the cleanliness and freshness of the rooms, bathrooms, furniture, basement... Loved the AC, fire pit, gas grill, enough bedrooms, large clean and NON-mildewy smelling/ feeling basement, the deck was large and accommodating for everyone. The furniture was modern. There were more than enough linens, the kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking super easy. There is a supermarket 8 minutes away. We enjoyed boating right from the house. There were several boats to choose from. The lake is really nice. I am a cyclist and really enjoyed riding around the lake several times. The owner was super accommodating.

Beautiful home & property with great owners!

Thanks Esther & Mike for the stay at your beautiful home, a perfect spot for our Fall Reunion!! The house was ideal for our group, with plenty of space for everyone to either spend together or apart for some quiet time! We had beautiful views of the early fall foliage from the big picture windows in the large open Living & Dining Room areas, and although the gas fireplace didn’t throw off much heat, it was aesthetically perfect for a crisp, cool autumn night! Kitchen was well equipped with cooking pots & pans/utensils/plates/mugs, etc.; everything we needed to cook all of our meals. My only suggestion would be the house being better stocked with basics like paper towels, napkins, plastic wrap, zip lock bags, etc. We struggled trying to wrap up some leftovers at first…but ultimately managed after running to the store for some supplies. And, we could have used some spare light bulbs for lamps/lights that had burned out & batteries for remotes. Minor issues I realize, but worth pointing out. We were so busy having fun drinking some wine, listening to music & playing cards at the BIG kitchen table in the dining area both nights that we never really went downstairs to play any of the other ‘games’ available in the rec room (a very small pool table, ping pong & foosball table), but I could see anyone renting here with children absolutely loving those amenities! I loved being so close to The Town of Hudson. I hadn’t been there in over a decade so it was fun to ‘revisit’ and walk around all the small antique shops and art galleries, visiting the Olana State Historic Site…and relaxing at the end of the afternoon with a cocktail & some appetizers at The Back Bar on Warren Street (an eclectic Thai/Malaysian restaurant/bar with indoor/outdoor dining with a beautiful patio and some funky music!) Lastly I can’t say enough about the exceptional communications between Esther & her husband Mike. They responded VERY quickly to a couple of situations we needed to sift through at first, so A++ for that! I have no hesitation recommending this rental to anyone considering it, and I hope to stay there again sometime in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Esther Holman

We rented this house for three weeks while I was on maternity leave in 2014, and fell in love with it! So we bought it. Now we rent it out part time but make sure we come up and stay here every month. The lake, the light, the trees, the nearby mountains—it's all such a refreshing change from city life.
