Summary: This home on the lake is all we could have asked for-clean, in a great location, and so comfortable. It was easy to find and the property is beautifully-maintained. There is everything you need in the house. We are thinking of when we can return to the house on the lake!

Summary: Stayed with a few girlfriends and had a great time. The place was clean, cozy and comfortable and a close drive to New Paltz. The house is right on the lake with a nice view. Gisela was very proactive and responsive to anything we needed! Weather was cloudy/rainy, so we didn’t get a sunset…but maybe next time!

Summary: House was very neat and accuratley described. The one fault that it had was that it was on a main road. Although it was quiet at night I did not feel comfortable letting my dog off leash.

Summary: My family loves staying here and we will be back again. The lake is beautiful, the house is immaculate and the host makes you feel very welcomed. We like to climb and hike in the gunks and spend time in New Paltz, the house is close to everything. And, it's a great place to just relax and take in the view.
