"We are just home from a wonderful weekend of relaxing, skiing and spending time with family.Denise is a lovely host and her home is not only immaculate but well stocked with everything you will need. We enjoyed making s’mores out at the fire pit overlooking the beautiful lake. We all slept like babies on their comfortable beds and the kids had a blast downstairs with bunk beds and a ping pong/ air hockey table. We grilled steaks on their grill which is right outside the kitchen We didn’t want for anything! I can’t recommend this property enough!"

"Very helpful host! Great location."

"Charming farmhouse with a master bedroom suite. Bed was very comfy and cozy. My husband and I went for a quick getaway with our dog. Great location! Close to skiing, hiking and some quaint shops. Host was very responsive and made some great dining recommendations. Very nice and peaceful neighborhood. "

"The house was charming. Everything is clean and updated. Everything from the bedding, to the pots, pans, dishes, and towels were of very nice quality. As cold as it was, the walks by the lake were beautiful and peaceful and the firepit was a great way to end the cold winter days. Leticia was always helpful. She thought of everything, so we really didnt need much! "

"Perfect layout, great space, lovely view, every amenity. All my friends want to re-book for next year! "

"The pictures didn’t do this place justice — it’s even more beautiful in person! The fall views over the orchard were stunning and we loved watching deer wander by in the early morning and at dusk. The rooms were perfectly sized, the kitchen was perfectly stocked and there were tons of games and movies for the kids. The host was incredible and gave us great local recommendations for things to do and places to eat. A perfect, quiet fall getaway — we can’t wait to return!"

"Had to go to Taconic state park to swim. Never would have rented if we knew access to.lake was so bad fir swimming."

"Beautiful home in a wonderful location. We hope to return."

"Cheryl’s place is a lovely cottage near the lake. We loved everything they did to make our stay more enjoyable, from many pairs of water shoes (definitely helpful for swimming!) to folding chairs, floats, and many different coffee-making options. We also loved the wind chimes and napping bed on the screened-in porch.The swimming was good, although it’s a busy lake with many motor boats. We had some long swims and the water was warm / comfortable. It’s best to swim near shore to avoid the boats. The waterfront is grassy and hilly and we read and chatted there. A couple of the neighbors are quite enthusiastic in their posting of political signs, but once on the property, the signs weren't too noticeable, and the neighbors didn't bother anyone.We enjoyed walking down to the little restaurant just a few minutes away for ice cream and live music in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed and the sliding doors onto the deck made it feel summery all the time. On a couple hot days the A/C made a big difference."
