Great Experience

The property is beautiful. It was cold when we were there, so we weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor amenities. The owner was very kind and communicated at a high level. I would highly recommend this property.

Spectacular View

The lake was frozen the week we came, but still beautiful. My husband said we should return when it is warmer to enjoy it more. Was a great property for two couples since it had 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms. And having a kitchen was great for preparing breakfast.

Weekend Visit

I visited my college aged son over the weeend for a special event and wanted to stay somewhere with a little something special rather than a hotel. This property exceeded my expectations. Even with winter still lingering, the lake view was spectacular and was highlighted by the home's back wall of windows. Also, Don is a very responsive host and made sure the home had everything you could need - grill, grill tools, pots/pans, appliances, etc. I truly appreciated the hospitality. I hope to stay again when visiting my son. Thank you for a memorable stay, Mel.

beautiful lake

Right on the shore of the lake but everything was private property so it was impossible to walk anywhere and enjoy the natural beauty-- unless you were on the water itself. (kayaks and lifejackets available). Owner super considerate and the home was of top quality. Decks and BBQ very nice. Great for family getaway.

Great Views and a Very Cozy Home

The home was a wonderful place with amazing views and the perfect size for our small Friendsgiving. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans and cleaning supplies were available. Our only critique was that some aspects of the house update you can tell are still in progress, but they’re more aesthetic updates. I’d recommend this home and would definitely come back in the future.

Charming Home on Serene Lake - Highly Recommend

Our group of 5 adults (including 3 twenty-somethings) greatly enjoyed our weekend on Lake Orange. The home was bright, clean, well-appointed, with an open living/dining space and a million dollar lakefront view, making the location and home ideal for a group getaway. Don was a wonderful host and very responsive to questions and special requests. Thanks for a great weekend, Don - wish we could have stayed longer!

About the host

Hosted by Don Murphy

Host profile image
Hello! We're a family of five—my wife and I, along with our three energetic sons aged 11, 8, and 5, live 5 minutes away from this home. We take immense pride in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for our guests. Sharing our secondary residence on the serene shores of Orange Lake allows us to offer others a glimpse into the tranquility and beauty that we cherish. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, we're delighted to provide a space where you can experience the best of the Hudson Valley.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in the Hudson Valley (specifically Wappingers Falls), I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the beauty, community, and lifestyle this region offers. This home’s central location keeps us close to family, friends, and the many places that make the Hudson Valley so special to us.

Every time we’re kayaking or relaxing on a boat on Orange Lake, it feels as if we’re tucked away in the northern Catskills or Adirondack Mountains — even though we’re just 65 miles north of New York City. Orange Lake truly is one of southern New York’s best-kept secrets, and we’re thrilled to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by breathtaking, panoramic views of Orange Lake — so close it feels like you could reach out and touch the water. It’s a truly special property where the beauty of the lake and sunsets becomes an unforgettable part of your experience.
