About this property

Stissing Lake House | Hudson Valley Lake Front

Our picturesque 100 year old Victorian country home is located in the Hudson Valley all on 11 acres, with a breathtaking view of the 125 acre Stissing Lake at the base of Stissing Mountain.

Stissing Lake House is complete with 6 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths main house, a breathtaking lake and mountain view and super fast 400 mb mesh wifi perfect for working from home. Plus an additional 2 bedroom 2 bath guest cabin (available for rent separately Oct to May).

In 2022, we renovated our lovely property with 36 brand new windows throughout, new appliances, updated bedding, drapes and furnishings. It's a fabulous comfortable, not fancy, historic country home decorated with family heirlooms, a superb kitchen, all with a spectacular view you just can't get enough of.

Jerry Herman, one of the most successful songwriters for the musical theater in his generation, wrote the music and lyrics to Hello, Dolly! here.

Stissing Lake House has personality - this property is all about the outdoors and is perfect for family gatherings, those that enjoy fabulous sunsets, gorgeous views and sitting around a campfire.

Our little slice of heaven is now available for seasonal rental - we rent weekly and monthly and offer longterm rentals. We will also consider a swap for a like property in other parts of the world.

Rental package includes use of a ton of kayaks, a canoe, paddleboat, SUP, swimming platform, dock, and some bikes!
