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.)

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.

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.
