Quiet Lakefront Retreat only 80 minutes from NYC- with Private Dock

This newly renovated lakehouse is conveniently located on the quiet and serene Lake Dutchess, just 1 hour 20 min away from NYC. Lake Dutchess is a quiet and serene non-motorized lake, perfect for a weekend getaway! Whether you want to kayak in the spring, bbq and swim in the summer, go apple-picking and enjoy the fall foliage, or cozy up by the fire in the winter, this lakehouse is the perfect retreat all year round!

The house was recently gut renovated, and is fully equipped to accommodate up to 6 people. It has a full chef's kitchen, gas fireplace, washer/dryer, cable tv and wifi. There is a BBQ on the deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is stocked with everything a chef will need to put on a show! The house also has a private dock with swimming platform, 4 kayaks with paddles, life jackets, fishing rods and a 12ft shuffle board. The main floor has air conditioning, and all bedrooms have ceiling fans and localized heating. Additional amenities include wifi, cable, Beekman 1802 toiletries, high-quality bedlinens, towels and blankets.

The lakehouse is located a mile off of I84 and is a quick 1 hour 20 minute drive from midtown Manhattan. You can also take Metro North's Harlem Line to the Southeast station , which is 10 minutes away.

Local Attractions include: Beacon (Dia Museum, art shops, restaurants), Storm King, Cold Spring (antique shopping, cafes), Dover Springs, Brewster, Carmel. There are a ton of local hiking trails that have been ranked some of the best in the country. We are just a short drive from the Appalachian Trail, Breakneck Ridge, The Beacon Reservoir and The Fire Tower trails. For kids, we are close to Splashdown Beach water park, and several great local farms and orchards for apple, peach, berry, vegetable and pumpkin picking, and maple syrup tasting! Full details are included in your welcome packet.

For our family visitors, we have a Stokke high chair and baby gate for the stairway, and a full size crib, all available upon request. The kitchen is equipped with kids plates, bowls, and toddler/baby cutlery. We also have two swings below the deck, one standard park style and one bucket style for babies.

Please note the incline down from the house to the lake is steep, so please contact me to discuss further if you have concerns about mobility. The age requirement to book is 28. Due to the septic capacity, we have a maximum occupancy of 6 people.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
My adult family of 6 visited this lovely home the last weekend in Oct to celebrate my 65th birthday. Fortunately for us the weather was superb, and we were excited to be vacationing at this beautiful house on a private lake. The online pictures were appealing but did not do this home justice. From the moment we walked in and took in the incredible views of the lake from the gorgeous kitchen windows a feeling of calm, peace and awe came over us. The fall foliage surrounding the lake was at peak and the sun glistening down on the water was mesmerizing. We had found the perfect spot to relax and enjoy our time together. Lucky us! Then we took in the beautiful chef’s kitchen and warm, tasteful and inviting decor of the home and how immaculate it had been kept. This home did not feel like the typical vacation rental, but rather like we were staying in someone’s personal space and using their quality items and furnishings, and that was very much appreciated. Rebecca was the perfect host and was most thoughtful, attentive and responsive to our needs. We began our weekend hiking in nearby Pawling Nature Reserve followed by cocktails on the deck watching the sunset on the lake. We cooked a nice dinner, had a shuffleboard tournament, and played other games later. The next day we walked around the lake, kayaked the lake, had cocktails on the dock and cooked another amazing dinner and played even more games. We had such a great time and can’t wait to return!

Beautiful Lake Views
Idyllic lakeside home. Absolutely beautiful views to the lake from almost anywhere in the house. The six of us, my husband and I, and friends all enjoyed the quiet, relaxing comfortable, and clean home. We stayed here in 2021, enjoyed the home, and came back. We will visit again. Few suggestions: remove downstairs carpeting, update upstairs tub, and few other small details to keep this home pristine and gorgeous. Thank you Rebecca.

Great getaway
Beautiful stay on Lake Dutchess. House was completely renovated and included all the basics for cooking and relaxing. Spent a lot of time fishing from the private dock, playing board games and enjoying the serenity.
