Situated on a road-accessible island in the gorgeous Upper Greenwood Lake, this lakehouse offers a private retreat to enjoy nature, stunning views, and quality time with family and friends. Fun relax in both summer and winter at only 1 hour from NYC. West Milford Lic No. 2023-008.

This Lakehouse has several entertaining areas including a large and fully equipped kitchen, a game table in the living room, a long balcony overlooking the lake with table and chairs, a Jacuzzi in the master bedroom, living and family rooms on different floors, each one with its own modern electric fireplace, smart TV, and couch for two simultaneous entertainment environments.

OUTDOOR entertainment areas in the property include a large BBQ patio overlooking the lake with a charcoal grill and a large table with chairs, a sunbathing deck next to the lake with a 5-person HOT TUB for whole-body massages, and a large FIRE PIT near the water. Firewood is available.

This house sits on a mountain at the heart of North Jersey Highlands and is surrounded by its many unique natural attractions including several famous hiking trails like the Appalachian Trail and several public lakes where guests can enjoy a variety of sports. Wawayanda State Park is only 10 min from the house and is a high-rated destination for beach swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Our neighboring "Greenwood Lake" offers power boat and jet-ski rentals.

Guests are NOT allowed to use the LAKE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, as per the Lake Association rules. Several nearby public lakes offer swimming and boating opportunities.

Other attractions in the area include hiking trails, apple-picking farms, ski resorts, Mountain Creek Waterpark, and Warwick's fine restaurants. The JW World Headquarters is a 20-min drive from the house.

Family House on the Lake

Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The house was immaculate and well equipped for anything you could possibly need with varied spaces that invited spending time together or finding quiet, alone time. While the weather didn't cooperate so that we could enjoy the outdoor spaces at the firepit ot the outdoor kitchen, the hot tub was a nice respite after the Spartan Race. Our host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. His expectations were minimal and easy to meet. The views of the lake...the ducks, geese, and playful otters... and surrounding mountains provided a relaxing atmosphere...one that we hope to experience again.

amazing house and host

The house was so beautiful and extremely clean, and well cared for. The property is very nice ,we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub too. We have stayed at a few houses in the past but this was by far the very BEST. Jose our host was quick to answer all our questions and help us out .The Kitchen is super nice for families, everything you need is there. All the appliances are new and super well cared for. The towels were so nice and there were more then enough for everyone. The beds were comfy and so clean . The local grocery store was awesome . This was just a wonderful experience. We had a great time for our family vacation and visited the Warwick Headquarters ,only 20 minutes away. We highly recommend the house. The only draw back was the water parks and other marina boat rentals were high for out of state residents. The Wawayanda Park beach was 20 per person to swim. do not hesitate to rent this property it is wonderful.

Lake House, Hewitt, NJ

Beautiful home located right on Greenwood Lake. Home was absolutely perfect for our little family gathering. Warm, inviting, comfortable. It was even decorated with holiday trimmings. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, appliances, etc. Plenty of extra linens, if needed. Host was easy to reach with questions and was very accommodating to my additional requests. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful lakefront property

We stayed at this VRBO due to the fact of the large amount of people that could stay at the property we were in town for work. There were nine of us. The property was able to accommodate all of us comfortably. The views are amazing the lakefront. The property is nice and clean and the amenities were a plus I would recommend this place to everyone.

Pleasant stay at Lake House

Flew from California to our son’s wedding and rented this property for three nights. The house is perfect for a family of 8-10 if you don’t mind sharing bunk beds. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and share a nice meal with the whole family. The property has nice amenities, however we were so busy with wedding that could not enjoy them,

Hidden camera in Amazon box from interior window facing hot tub -weird. Other then that good.

There was an Amazon box with cancelled camera in interior room facing hot tub. This was concerning. The home was well appointed and had all amenities included for stay. Master bedroom had used wash clothes and soaps and sink need to be cleaned…just an oversight from prior guest. It was over all very clean. Nice neighborhood and if can address hidden cameras in hot tub area consider staying.

Ladies Lake Escape

A group of ladies all in desperate need of an escape found Jose's home to be easy to get to, clean, well stocked and just what we needed to gather and relax from nibbling around the kitchen island, crashing on the couch in front of the fire or soaking in the hot tub or master bath jetted tub. Beds really comfy. Sheets, blankets, towels clean and well stocked for larger groups. Jose remained a message away for any questions or needs and provided easy check in info including double checking we were aware of slightly tricky but manageable parking. I've stayed at many VRBO listings, Jose's and his home are 5 stars. Did not want to leave!

Lovely home with no lake access

House was well equipped, and had a lovely view and is near many beautiful lakes and trails. My fault for not understanding that you could not access the lake the house was on before booking - there were even lake monitors. It was also a little confusing when trying to leave and pack up that the owner showed up.

Peace on the lake

The entire process couldn’t have been easier. Jose is such a thoughtful host as the house is so well appointed. We forgot to bring coffee, but no worries. He had coffee there. The kitchen is fully stocked and the best part for me was not having to pack our own linens. Such a pleasure to not pack bulky towels, blankets and sheets. The house is also well located with boat rentals, wineries, etc nearby. We can’t wait to return.

Thanksgiving on at the LakeHouse

The house was perfect for what we needed. All the kitchen utensils and equipment needed to prepare thanksgiving dinner were available. The views of the lake from the multilevel home were amazing. The house is equipped with indoor and outdoor fireplaces which we used outside near the lake. Even though it was chilly we took advantage of the hot tub and fireplaces. The main kitchen level does have a lower ceiling in the laundry and half bath which wasn’t an issue but thought it was important to mention for guests taller than 6’5+.

Nice property with beautiful deck views!

Nice property right on the lake! Our weekend weather was ideal and the foliage from the deck was amazing! The house had all the starter items you could need for a long weekend - no need to shop for the basics (soap, TP...). Lots of room for a group (we had 5)! Had a great time, and got to meet Jose in person (nice guy)! My only negative is the parking - there is off road parking for 2 cars and its a hillside ledge (a little scary since you cant see the edge). Overall, it was great and would consider again.

First all girl cousins trip… AMAZING

The house was beyond our expectations. We had a great time and Jose is a awesome host. The home was well maintained and kept in perfect condition. The only heads up I will give is there is a lot of steps. (3 floors) So if anyone in your group cannot comfortably go up and down stairs, this beautiful lake house might not work for you. Other than that… definitely planning on returning next year. Thanks Jose and see you in 2023!!!!
