Amazing Lakefront! Weekly/Monthly Discounts! ☀️


Under a 2-hour drive from New York City with skiing at Big Bear close by, not far from Milford, PA, and Bethel Woods Arts & Concert venue (home of the original Woodstock festival) and Resorts World Casino. Close to the Forestburgh Playhouse & local arts venues, antiquing, Minisink Battlefield, Fort Delaware, Barryville & scenic Route 97 that runs alongside the protected Delaware River. Many inns and restaurants are found in a string of villages such as Barryville, Milford, Narrowsburg, and Callicoon.

In addition to being on a lakefront there is easy access to other lakes, streams, for hiking, fishing, river rafting, zip-lining, tubing, canoeing, horseback riding, and in the colder weather, skating and ice fishing off private dock plus snowboarding and tobogganing on the gently sloping area on huge private lawn.

This roomy lakefront retreat is a custom contemporary, energy-conserving, 3 storey cedar post and beam which is bright and light-filled and is situated on almost two park-like acres, with its private dock/beachfront on the sandy-bottomed lake (great for swimming, boating, and or fishing.)

House has multiple indoor/outdoor seating areas, a sunroom, a fireplace with wood burning stove insert along with electrical baseboard heating, Cable TV, wifi, security system, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, fire extinguisher, first aid kit plus fully equipped, up to date kitchen with stainless steel appliances, fridge has ice maker & water filter, whole house water filter, ceramic range top, wall oven, microwave, toaster, keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, and washer/dryer/ironing facilities in separate laundry area on the ground floor.

As we are energy-conserving (passive solar heat) the house is cooled with cross ventilation and great breezes from across the lake as well as huge ceiling fans (rather than air conditioning)

The kitchen has a breakfast bar that flows into the large dining area with a table that expands to seat ten, then flows into a living area with a cathedral ceiling, wood beams, skylights, wood-burning stove plus a spectacular lake view through the entire lakeside's glass wall.
0
There is a separate den with seating and a sun room that has a nice table to enjoy breakfast while watching the butterflies flit past the windows while enjoying the cross breezes coming through the door to the (lakeside deck.)

The fully finished semi-basement has a comfortable seating area/large play areas and a 60' screen for playing videos, DVDs, or gaming systems.

There is a large outdoor table on the side porch with a market umbrella that seats eight, a lakeside table with a market umbrella that seats four (we sit here for breakfast while watching the hummingbirds at the feeder.) There is an additional bistro table that seats two plus two cozy, armchairs with a drinks table. Under a shade tree down by the dock, there is a large table that seats four - plus additional captains chairs and benches seating.

Bedroom 1 (queen bed) overlooks the lake.

Bedroom 2 (full bed) overlooks woods with a filtered view of the lake.

Bedroom 3 - Semi Basement Open Plan Sleeping with comfortable King Sized Bed/Living Area (full-sized sofa bed in semi-basement living area sleeps additional guests)

Bedroom 4 - Den (automatic queen-sized air bed in the den which is adjacent to the beautiful sunroom that overlooks the woods)

The top floor bathroom has a jacuzzi tub with a separate shower, cathedral ceiling, and skylights.

The ground-floor bathroom has a full shower.

Outdoor space - has multiple seating areas perfect for reading, eating, entertaining, meditating, or practicing yoga. The huge lawn is peaceful with ample room for games while others in your party may find a nice quiet space to just enjoy nature.

There is a private dock and beach on our sandy-bottomed, natural, spring-fed, motorboat lake which is ideal for fishing, swimming, and boating - one does need a short-term fishing license from NYS which is obtainable online,

There is a barbeque grill on the side porch and the fire pit is great for roasting marshmallows -

Depending upon the season you may enjoy outdoor dining; private dock and beach from which you can walk into the natural, spring-fed motorboat lake - take out the canoe or paddleboat, swim, fish from the dock (there is also lots of shallow water should children be in your party.)

We love the opportunity to relax, enjoy nature watching from hummingbirds to bald eagles, sit quietly and do absolutely nothing - we rarely leave the house when staying ourselves - there is no need - I always comment to my husband that it feels as if we have our own private resort.....

Sandy Beach Tavern (1 mile from the house) has a full bar, snack bar, pool table, game room, and private beach for swimming (closed in the winter.)

Eldred is the closest village (3 miles away) with a supermarket, library, shop, ice cream/sandwich shop and outdoor pizza restaurant.

Barryville right on the Delaware River is 6 miles away with restaurants, antique stores, and the opportunity to rent canoes or kayaks,

White Lake is 8 miles away and also boasts restaurants, boat rental, and antique stores.

Cochecton is worth checking out, in particular the amazing Hennings restaurant.

Bethel Woods home of the famed 1969 Woodstock festival is just 10 miles away.

Public transit is not available - this area needs a car although one may bus to Monticello (good for bigger stores such as Walmart of Shoprite) or take a train to Port Jervis and then take a cab ride.

If you intend to throw a party during your stay (guests in excess of 20% of your reserved guest list would constitute a party) you would need pre-authorization. There would be an additional fee (to be negotiated) as this larger group involves extra liability, wear, and tear, as well as higher cleaning fees and usage of basic house items such as paper goods and utilities.

Guests may check-in after 4:00 p.m. on the day of arrival and must check out by 11 a.m. on the day of departure.

If there is no back-to-back reservation it may be possible to request an earlier check-in or later check out. Please be aware that an additional fee may be required depending upon season and or weekend.

Should a guest need to cancel last minute due to extenuating circumstances such as personal or health emergencies and/or natural disasters, they should contact the host to discuss options.

Please note:
For security purposes only, this property has a doorbell camera on the front door and on the basement door. There are also two driveway cameras; one for the side of the house and one for the back of the house. There are no indoor cameras whatsover.

Additionally, as much as we love animals, due to many with allergies, (including the hosts), we are unable to accomodate visiting pets either indoors or outdoors.

The house is amazing. Perfect location on the lake. Caroline was very helpful and communication was great. The house itself is very clean and well taken care of. Definitely one of the most well taken care of Vrbo's I've stayed in. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing getaway
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property. The house is immaculate, comfortable and provided for all of our needs. It has so many comfortable seating areas to enjoy. The beds were comfortable. We were fortunate that the weather was beautiful and spent a good deal of time sitting in the sun at the dock, enjoying a million dollar view. Caroline was lovely and quick to respond to any questions or small issues. We would highly recommend.

Highland Lake VRBO Review
Beautiful lakefront house on Highland Lake, NY. The lake front access is ideal for swimming, boating, and lounging. The lake does get noisy during the day as a result of the motorboats and jet skis passing by at top speed. The house is adequately supplied and is in "move-in condition"! Communication with Caroline is simple and she responds quickly to answer questions and provide assistance. The VRBO is a perfect home away from home. Thank you for the opportunity to use your home for a few days!

Beautiful view
We had a nice time at the cabin. Daughter was sick starting the first night of our stay, so it was a rough week personally. Cabin had all fixings but we were not used to baseboard heat. Units downstairs were kind of loud, and wished the basement master had a lovely view. Caroline explained the layout of the rooms, but would have liked not to sleep in the basement. So, our learning curve... communication was efficient and easy. The view was gorgeous, we just couldn't get out to enjoy it. A stressful sleep deprived week - but not because anything was lacking as a result of inefficient host. Thank you.

Great place for a getaway! A gem of a property!
Great place for a getaway! We got unlucky with the Memorial weekend weather, but the property turned out to be much more impressive than its descriptions on VRBO. A great house with everything you need. The lake is very pristine and clean, some great fishing on a rainy weekend. Woodstock festival museum at Bethel Woods is certainly worth a visit. Caroline is a wonderful host!

Breath Taking!
I planned a mini getaway for my mother’s birthday at Caroline’s Lake house and it was perfect! The house itself was clean, spacious and beautiful. Everything was exactly as the photos. We had beautiful weather so we took advantage of the canoe and paddle boat and used the fire pit to end our night. I cannot complain and would definitely recommend staying at this property. Caroline, again thank you so much for your hospitality!!

The house was extremely clean. Abundant supply of cleaners, paper towels, facial tissues, wash rags and bath towels. The house came with everything we needed or wanted. The view of the lake was very calming and relaxing. Exactly what we went for. The house offered other activities for us, but we just wanted to unwind. The owner was extremely helpful in every way. She wanted to make sure we had a great experience. She was enjoyable to work with. Overall an excellent value for our money.

The house is very tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable for a family. Big kitchen has everything we needed. It is a large property right on the lake with it's own beach and very romantic doc. Big trees , lots of shade. Nice neighborhood, good weather, beautiful house, warm lake - we enjoyed it all!

Perfect Lake House
Having never been to the Highland Lake area before , my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. We usually travel farther North when we want to be near mountains and lakes . Who knew you could get the same experience a mere 2hrs from Manhattan ! As far as Caroline’s lake house , it couldn’t have been better . We were 3 couples and found the house roomier than the photos showed and neat as a pin . The outside had many charming seating areas , all of them with a beautiful view of the lake . Caroline was very thorough in preparing us for our stay. Its obvious she takes great pride in her property and wants her guests to appreciate it as well. We will definitely be back !

Great Lake house
This house exceeded my expectations. Plenty of room for sleeping. Caroline went above and beyond to make sure me and my guest were all set for the weekend. She made me feel comfortable in her home without even being there! I can’t thank her enough for how smooth it was. It was nice to know she was a phone call away if I needed her or couldn’t find something. The lake was beautiful and a good temperature for swimming! It’s a walk in lake with a small beach vibe. Great for people to swim or just hang out on the dock. Greatly recommended!!!

Great location, beautiful lake, wonderful host
This was my first experience renting. Caroline was one of the kindest, responsive and most accommodating person that I have had the pleasure of dealing with, in this kind of interaction. She was very attentive to our needs and I even pocket- dialed her by accident late at night on a Friday, and she was still so quick to respond and make sure everything was ok, without being bothered. The layout of the yard allows for various enjoyable experiences; from swimming, fishing, canoeing, paddle boating or lounging on the dock that goes out into the lake; to the fire pit located in its own area or the large wrap-around deck with various seating options.... it was a great layout to accommodate many needs, which made for a very enjoyable weekend. The location had a very private feel, from the house to the space leading down to the lake. It is a great location on the lake and nice for young kids as the water is shallow- making for its own little pool. The house was clean and had a lot of character. You can tell that there is a lot of care taken into account based on the details of the house. There were plenty of supplies, games, tv, etc... to satisfy various ages and needs. Highland Lake was nice and not busy- which is such an added bonus on a motor boat lake. The location was quick to the local grocery store and some restaurants. Between the owner, the house and the location... I highly recommend staying here. I would just note that there is no AC if that is a must, but there were plenty of fan options and windows throughout the space. It tends to be cool at night in that location throughout the year.

Fantastic House - Beautiful Location
My wife and I and another couple rented this house for 3 nights. The location is very private - situated on a tranquil lake. It was extremely peaceful - hardly any boat traffic. We enjoyed watching the sunset sitting on the private dock drinking some wine. The house is unique - very spacious with many interesting rooms. The decor is very classic, eclectic and tasteful. The house is kept immaculate and is stocked with all the necessities of a lived-in home. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the showers have plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. The house boasts one of the biggest collections of VHS tapes I have ever seen - so you'll be entertained even on a rainy day. There is a fire pit on the lake-side lawn which we utilized on one of the chillier nights. There's a paddle boat and canoe near the dock (which we didn't use because we were happy just sitting on the dock.) There's a large porch overlooking the lake with a humming-bird feeder nearby which allows you to see these fascinating creatures up-close. We barbecued on the brand new gas-grill and dined on the deck enjoying the beautiful view and sounds of nature. It is apparent (from the state of the house and my conversations with her) that the owner (Caroline) is proud of her home and is concerned that her guests are thoroughly satisfied. She gave us very detailed instructions regarding the house and gave us a run-down of all the local eateries and places of interest. She was always available (via phone/email/text) and responded quickly to our queries. All-in-all, we had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I highly recommend that you consider staying at this remarkable home. We will surely be returning.

In LOVE with the Lake Life
We were absolutely in love as soon as we pulled in to the the drive way. We ran over to the back to take a look at the view of the lake and were super excited to jump right into the lake. We were a group of 8 with a toddler. The house felt like a resort. There was enough space for all of us to hang out in the living area for all of us when we wanted to be indoors but also enough areas for small groups to hang out throughout the house. We used all the amenities. We were able to grill one night as a group and make s'mores in the fire pit at night. We loved using the canoe and paddle boat during the day to explore the lake. Caroline was amazing and very helpful at helping us with anything and everything we needed. From helping us find things to do in the area to responding to questions/answers she was always very responsive. We hope to return to this Lakefront house very soon!
