We really enjoyed our stay. If you like an airy view of a lake, the mists in the morning and the silver blue water at dusk, this is a great place for you. But if you see yourself moving back and forth with ease between the house and the water, this is not a good house for you. Almost all the lake houses on Glenville Lake are perched above the lake. This house especially so. The stairs down to the dock are solid, but it's a very long steep climb. The house is comfortable, with a big master suite that opens onto a curved great room and kitchen with lots of windows, which was really nice. Everything was in good working order. (Hint to owner: If you don't want guest using your fancy personal set of pots and pans, then you might want to provide them with more than one small sauce pot, one spaghetti pot and an old frying pan. :) The hikes in Panthertown and the precipitous hike to the waterfall at the north of the lake were wonderful. If you want to rent a party barge to see the lake, make sure you do well before your planned trip. They were fully booked weeks in advance when we were there. Fall colors were at peak. Lovely.
