Wonderful host

Our experience in Athens was wonderful. The host was extremely helpful whenever we needed her. The location was perfect. The views from her home are just gorgeous! Sit and watch the sunset over the lake...who could ask for more. Our dog loved swimming at the dog beach! We visited Olana, ate in fabulous restaurants (which the host recommended), hiked, toured the Hudson on boat, and even went to Woodstock! This was a very welcomed vacation! Thank you, Donna!

Very cozy and comfortable for a pet-friendly stay.

Nice cozy, small cabin for a getaway with beautiful views on the lake. The place had a really nice vibe and it was so nice to have our 2 4-legged kiddos with us. The neighborhood was not so much our cup of tea but would probably be fine with most. There was just alot of development and places were closer together than preferred. The owner was very flexible and responsive.

From being a fairly well kept secret, Sleepy Hollow Lake has experienced an influx of buying and building from the beginning of the pandemic. Since these are second homes for many who come and go, there is still much privacy and a country feel throughout the community. While nearby towns offer interesting shops and restaurants, hiking and ski slopes are half hour away. Thanks, Kim, for the firewood. Perfect size for my fp. Hope your dogs got to enjoy the freedom of the dog park.

Lovely get away

Enjoyed my stay. House was perfect for one person and easy to get to. Very comfortable and a great view of the lake but no lake access from the house. But easy access at several points just down the street. Very laid back. I love the area - Catskills, Athens, Hudson. Lots to do and see.

We had a lovely time relaxing in this cozy "treehouse" which had a gorgeous sunset view of the lake. The house is in a private lakeside community. We enjoyed our nighttime walks around the community with our dogs to the dog beach. Host was helpful and accessible.
