About the host
Hosted by David Hibbard
Together since 1994, we've been lucky to have the best of both worlds, the hustle and bustle of big city living in NYC and the peaceful, calm energy of lakefront living. We've had the great pleasure of sharing our home with friends and family over the years, but with life getting busier and busier these days, we have now decided to extend the opportunity to others and share our slice of heaven.
Why they chose this property
We were pursing the perfect lakefront weekend home and retreat away from the fast paced Manhattan life. We searched a 75 mile radius map of NYC and honed in on motorboat lakes. We drove to each and every one from CT to upstate NY and found the perfect spot in New Jersey. Upper Greenwood Lake was the ideal distance, (one hour door to door, bridge or tunnel without traffic!) remote yet easily accessible to many amenities, from quaint towns to easy access to grocery stores and big box stores (even they have their benefits). The home provides a relaxed serene retreat with down home comfort.
What makes this property unique
Upper Greenwood Lake is a private motorboat lake which is virtually silent weekdays and boasts the ideal energy on weekends! Comes with many amenities and comforts for the perfect getaway. For lake and boating access check out GREENWOOD LAKE- 7 miles 'down the mountain', which has public access.
