About this property

Sumak Kawsay - Life in harmony. Waterfront Hot Tub + NYC

Your private retreat on Lake Zoar—just 90 minutes from NYC. Modern; minimal; intentional. Direct waterfront access. The kind of quiet that feels impossible to find.
Just for Two = 608 SF.
Soak in the hot tub steps from the water—steam rising while you watch the lake and forest. Cook dinner together, share a bottle on the terrace overlooking everything. Play board games by lamplight. Read in separate corners, or together in silence. A bedroom where you wake to water views.
The Real Thing
No crowds. No notifications. No noise bleeding through thin walls. Just warm water; the sound of the lake; wind in the trees; and each other. Stargazing from the hot tub at night. Kayak at sunrise. Walk forest trails. The terrace becomes your whole world.
Around You
Lake Zoar's natural beauty is immediate. When you want it: marinas, many excellent restaurants, villages worth exploring. Candlewood Lake is close (boat rentals with advance notice). But honestly? Most guests don't leave.
What Makes It Different
We named this place Sumak Kawsay—an ancient Quechua concept meaning "good living" or harmony with what matters. We didn't fill this space with things. We cleared it. Everything here has a reason; the view; the silence; the hot tub under the stars. Two people who want to remember why they came together.
Perfect for reconnecting. Bring someone you want to actually talk to.
