About this property

Many perfect sunsets at the magical house on the lake

The house has a very open layout living room, kitchen and dinning flow into each other. There are 2 bedrooms, queen size bed in the lake-facing one and one queen and one twin bed in the other. From the bedroom and living room there are big sliding doors onto a large deck with amazing views of the lake with a large table, chairs, and sofa , there is another 3 tiered deck enow with a fire-it, grill ad lounge chairs. Two docks and a gazebo to enjoy the beauty of the Landscape. There are solar panels on the roof.
The house has 2 bathroom, one full and one half, there is a hairdryer, a washer and dryer in the basement.
There is excellent WiFi and a smart tv.
The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, and granite counter tops.
Coffee drip, keurig, nespresso machine, milk foamer, toaster, water keddle are on the counter top.
There is an iron and board (basement)in one of the large closets and hangers and plenty of storage space for clothes.
Heating and cooling is regulated with a thermostat and there are separate heaters in each room, central air conditioning.
The land around the house is beautiful with may areas to sit, benches and daybed, about an acre right on the water. A tandem kayak, paddle board and kayak is available for water excursions and there is a row boat that accommodates 4. I have life jackets, 2 adult, 2 children. The beautiful cedar dock gets you into the water, best entrance is the dock behind the gazebo to the right of the property, or just hanging out at the water, there is a daybed right next to the dock, just below the houses at the water.
Parking is in front of the house and there is additional parking on a lot next to the house. The magic is in the light and the restful energy of the house. We do our best to use eco friendly soap and cleaning supplies, it is important to us that the house is clean energetically and dirt wise. We care about sustainability and respect of nature and do not want to harm especially children or pets, that is why we use the least amount of poison possible to control pests. please forgive the possibility of a bug or an ant. thank you.
The house is very well located between New Paltz and Kingston, there are many amazing restaurants and stores, Woodstock and Rhinbeck are only a few minutes more or you can enjoy sitting at the water and chill.
I decorated the house with my art. Fabric sculptures and paintings.
The house is perfect for 2 and may be 5. The living room is small. The kitchen table pulls out. we have a small faucet at the kitchen sink that is drinking water from reverse osmosis.

Gisela's home was lovely! The view is unmatched, and for a small home, there's a ton of outdoor seating. My mom and I had a wonderful visit. We took a day trip to Mohonk Mountain house for lunch and day passes, and that was divine too. This is a beautiful area and the house was perfect for us. Thank you!

There were so many places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The lake is truly quiet which is what I wanted - somewhere we I can sit and write.

This was our first ever Vrbo stay and Gisela made it smooth and stress-free from start to finish. She was quick to respond, all pictures/descriptions matched our experience, her instructions were clear and helpful, and the house was clean and quiet. We loved it! Gisela has it thoughtfully setup with plenty of linens, fully furnished kitchen, the deck furniture was clean and ready, and her intentional decor is beautiful which makes the place calm and inviting! The deck is magical to enjoy morning coffee or dinner by sunset. Gisela has everything covered. During our stay, a storm knocked out the power, but we had no worries when the generator automatically kicked on and we didn’t lift a finger (and it was impressive how quickly the community united to help each other clear debris).Gisela is especially amazing for taking a first timer with a last minute reservation. Our souls needed that weekend in the mountains! We explored Minnewaska State Park, Kaaterskill Falls, and summited Slide Mountain, all within an hour commute. We also paddled Rondout Creek which is around the corner. For outdoor humans like us, this was a gem to come home to! Some trail magic for the next guests is a tip about the driveway. I would consider it a hidden driveway but after a little practice it was easy to back the car in which makes the departure much easier. If you’re on the fence about this place, I strongly recommend you book it! Thank you for everything, Gisela…especially the delicious honey!

This was a beautiful location for my single staycation, but families would find much to do as well. The house and host were warm and welcoming. I am already looking forward to another stay. A perfect 4 days!

This was the perfect weekend getaway for my family--kayaking on the lake, fishing, grilling outdoors with dinner on the deck, and beautiful sunsets.

About the host

Hosted by gisela stromeyer

Host profile image
i am an artist and healer, i love creating in small and big ways. My magical house at the lake was a great pleasure to renovate and decorate. It is very important to me that is feels good, that the vibe is right and to honor the land and the elements. I travel a lot, but when i am home i live not far from this house.

Why they chose this property

This spot is amazing, the light at sunset, the lake, the edge of the water, the trees and the house is just so cozy, i am in love with it!

What makes this property unique

i love laying in bed at night watching the moon over the water, the moonlight reflected in the water. i love the sofas and the feeling of the house, there is something very simple and cozy.
