About this property

Lakehouse in the Woods- 2 Hours from NYC- 5 bedroom- 4,300 sq ft Newly Renovated

Checkout the video tab for a new video.
Amazing 8 acres of property and a 4,300 sq ft home, renovated 5 bedroom / 4 bathroom. The house sleeps up to 10 people. Perfect setting in the woods and on the lake. Enjoy the 2 kayaks, 2 standup paddle boards, tubes and rafts, lake trampoline and fishing rods. Relax on the hammocks, roast smores at the fire pit, play basketball and enjoy the outdoor shower. There’s also a Weber gas BBQ. The house has ample living and entertaining space with the open kitchen, sitting area, and huge living room with 10 person dining table, 65 in tv and couch with 3 recliners. The whole house was just renovated over the summer and has ample space to accommodate families and large groups of friends. The 1,500 sq ft basement was just completed, it’s fully carpeted with a bedroom, full bathroom, sleeper sectional sofa and lots of fun stuff...a ping pong table, bar area with dart board, 55 inch tv, Nintendo 64, and a huge toy closet. There is AC in the living which keeps the downstairs cool, and all bedrooms have AC, other then the basement, which stays cool and has a Dyson fan in the bedroom. The house is shaded, so stays cool even on hot days.

Across the lake is Sand Beach, a beach with swimming area, picnic tables and has a dive bar with food, drinks and music. Go visit Bethel Woods for concerts during the summer or The Woodstock Museum all year round, checkout Catskills Distillery across from Bethel Woods. Float down the Delaware River, explore hiking trails, go to the cute town of Narrowsburg and all the great restaurants in the area.
For the winter, the 2 closest ski areas are Big Bear in PA and Holiday Mountain in Thompson, NY.

Family gathering
House was spacious enough for a family gathering and the common areas served our family well. We were there on a cloudy and wet fall weekend, so we couldn't make use of the lakefront in the way you might in the summer. Eric was very easy to work with and very accommodating, really couldn't ask more from a host. Overall I would say that the house would work best for families with kids, rather than all adults and is more amenable for use during the warmer months.

This Property Delivers!!
This property is true to it's listing. Private acreage with ample outdoor space for lawn games, relaxation, and access to the lake! The house provided so much room for our group to spread out and have privacy. The kitchen and house was stocked with everything we needed and has large dining room for family-style dinners. This house is the perfect getaway for you, your family, and friends! Could not recommend any higher.

Nice place, good location
There are 3 good bedrooms for adults and the rest would work for kids. Private, quiet setting. Swimming from the dock isn’t great, need to get out past the Lilly pads. House is spacious, room for large family dinners.

Why they chose this property

We love getting out of the city and relaxing at the Lakehouse. The peaceful setting is perfect to disconnect and enjoy nature. It's the perfect getaway to hike and explore the surroundings on the property and in the area. All 4 seasons offer something different and special. Boating and fishing in summer, Hiking and exploring in the Spring, Foliage in the Fall and Winter is magical when it snows.
