My husband, dog, and I had a great stay. The house is cute and quirky, has all the necessary amenities, and is decorated with care and personality. The real stand-out is the property. The house has a beautiful backyard on a slight hill going down to a semi-private lake. The lake is inviting, calm, and clean and shared by about 5-8 other houses built around it. The property offers a canoe, peddle boat (or favorite!), and stand-up paddle boards that you can take out as you wish. People staying at the other houses were occasionally out on the lake kayaking or paddle boarding (as we were), but no-one was disruptive to our experience and the lake was never crowded. The neighbors are close by but noise from them didn't travel to our ears and their presence did not interfere with our enjoyment. The house's entrance level is actually elevated compared to the lake and backyard, with a nice porch containing table and chairs overlooking the lake, as well as cozy rooms upstairs and downstairs. For when you need a break from the sun (good weather is key!), the house offers board games, two smart TVs and a PS4, and binoculars that we enjoyed using to look at the geese and deer from the porch. There is also a nicely arranged fire pit for when it gets chilly at night. Overall we had a great time and would go back.

Every little detail has been paid attention to in this small but very roomy A-frame. I loved the whimsical wallpapers throughout the bedrooms and the little decorative touches that gave it a Modern Scandi Lodge feel. Rose is a great host. Prompt to respond to questions and follow-ups.

Wonderful stay for our family trip of 6 adults and 4 children. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and the decor was modern. Rose our host was responsive to the one issue we had and was very communicative throughout the process. Great swimming at nearby Colgate Lake and rock hopping in the river down the road. Full compliment of paddle boards, peddle boat, and canoe for navigating the pond. All needs were met in this home.

very nice and property very clean and nice view and also all bathroom very clean and awesome kitchen.

The house is clean, stylish and cozy. Our group of friends had 4 preteen girls, who enjoyed downstairs unit with bunk beds and swings off the porch. The host is very responsive and you will find everything you need. Lakefront location is perfect, and also close to great hiking trails.

We really enjoyed our mini trip. Everything was just perfect, the house the style, perfect location, great weather and great host with very easy and quick communication. Thank you so much Rose.

Happy with everything

We had a great time skiing and thoroughly enjoyed this sweet house on the lake!

Our family of four (including a baby and toddler) had a nice time here for our summer vacation. The main attraction was that we wanted to be able to swim in the lake and hang out by the water every day. I found the lake to be murky and uninviting, with clouds of tall grasses floating around and a flock of geese making the rounds and leaving poop all over the yard area. For my little ones it didn't really work to try to play in the water, so we ended up going to a nearby lake every day. We had splurged on this rental to avoid the shlepping, especially because we had to be home for naps and wanted to enjoy the lake while being nap trapped. So the vacation was not at all what I had envisioned. The house was clean but not super clean, and the finishes are more that of a cabin than a nice house. I arrived 40 minutes after the 4pm check-in time and still had to wait another 10 minutes for the cleaners to finish, which annoyed me considering that we're paying for the first and last nights yet have such a short time to settle and pack on either end of the trip. All of that said, the house was as pictured and comfortable and we did have a nice time overall. Rose was responsive and her website with recommendations were helpful. I hope this review is helpful to others, and I don't want to be negative but I spent hours and weeks looking for a place and read every review of many places to see how nice the lakefront was, so this may be useful to someone who is looking for really nice swimming conditions.

Had a very nice time at this house . It was very clean, with comfortable beds and furniture. 3 very nice bathrooms, 2 full with tubs and one with a stall shower. We were 4 adults and 4 children and we had plenty of room. Kids had fun catching fish (sunnies)

Can't say enough good things about this rental. The property owner was very professional and communicative. What was promised was exactly what was delivered. The home owner obviously took meticulous care of their home and knows how to properly present their proud and loving home to a temporary and brief renter. I remain thankful for the experience which was resoundingly positive.

This property was just as listed and everybody had a great time. The lake was great for are dogs and the humans enjoyed it too.

Our stay at Rose’s house was wonderful. She was very easy to communicate with, and the property is even better than pictured in the listing. It was immaculate and very well stocked with everything we needed - although some things (e.g., pot holders) were stored in hidden drawers in the kitchen, which we were still finding even on our last day. We had more than enough space for our party of 4 adults and 3 preteen/teens, and we appreciated having two living areas as well as the wonderful outdoor space in which to spread out. We took full advantage of the pedal boat and paddle boards to get out onto the water each day and ended each evening with s’mores at the fire pit. We even got to see a bald eagle one day, which was a real treat. Our favorite thing had to be the swings - the kids (and moms) especially enjoyed them. I definitely recommend this property for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.

We had a wonderful family vacation! The house was clean and adorable! Nice location! Rose was a great host too!

The pictures do not due this property justice. The house has everything that you need, is beyond homey and is very comfortable.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Rose's place. The house was clean and as described in the listing. The house had everything we needed to have a fun and enjoyable weekend getaway.

Our 2nd time back. Even more fun in the summer because of the lake.

I came to Rose’s property for a girls trip and it was amazing. The house was perfectly decorated. It also had plenty of room for 7 girls to sleep and get ready. It was nice to be able to relax down by the water with the paddle boat and boards. I would love to come back with my family.

3 generations, 10 of us in total, my family and I had one of the best vacations ever, the house was comfortable and incredibly clean with all amenities and supplies we needed, Rose the owner is very attentive and informative. 5 stars to the entire experience.

Rose was extremely helpful and kind. The property was exactly as pictured, fully stocked and extremely clean. Impressive!

My parents, siblings, husband, baby, brother’s dog, and I had a lovely week in Hunter. It was early June so it got chilly overnight and in the mornings, but the lake water was still warm enough to swim in. We rarely left the property (the baby was entertaining enough!) but still had a wonderful time grilling, making fires, boating, and just hanging out. The house isn’t huge but there was room for all of us, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the beds were comfortable. We are always considering booking for next year!

We stayed for Memorial weekend & went to the Irish Festival in East Durham. There were 8 of us. It was nice having a bathroom on each level & there is plenty of room to spread out. Rose contacted us to make sure everything was good. She had everything we needed there. The couple next door are very friendly, we met a lot of nice people on the lake. It is a nice area & I would highly recommend staying at this property. If we are out that way again we will definitely stay there. Thank you,Rose!!

I stayed here with my daughter and 2 of my nieces. House was the perfect set up. Lots of places for you to go if you needed some quiet time. Property was great. Would love to come back in the summer time. Host Rose was very responsive. We had a wonderful time.

The set up of Rose’s home is really well done - very comfortable and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We went to Hunter for a ski weekend, and the proximity of Rose’s home to Hunter is incredibly convenient. Rose was great-responded so quickly and was so hospitable. We hope to return in the Spring!

House was absolutely perfect for 8 adults and one pup. Location is quick and easy to the mountain. Host was extremely helpful and was quick to answer any questions. Might have helped create annual event for our friends!

The house was excellent. The layout was perfect for two families with kids bunking and entertained downstairs with large main common area + kitchen. Really great location close to town and with skiing less than 5 minutes away. Rose was really communicative throughout the process. Hopefully we'll be back.

Great location comfortable house even with a larger party. Highly recommended. We are already planning our return

We really enjoyed our stay, Rose is a great host

Just returned from an amazing stay here. Incredible lake and mountain views. House is clean, tastefully decorated and very spacious. Quality kitchen ware and appliances. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Pedal boats and canoes were so much fun. Didn't use the paddle boards because I was afraid of falling in. Fire pit has plenty of wood. Rose checked in first night to make sure everything was ok. Never had a host do that before. She was always very responsive during the whole process. We had some other family members with us who never visited Catskills before and this home really set a very high bar for future visits.

The house is warm, cozy and conveniently located. Our kids had a blast swimming and paddle boarding in the lake. The owner is super responsive to questions and is a pleasure to work with. Fantastic family vacation!

We gathered as a family for the first time in over 2 1/2 years due to distance & Health issues. The home was beautifully laid out, super clean and over the top comfortable, with many amenities. I can’t say enough about how they thought of everything.We had the most wonderful time ever Swimming and paddle boarding in the lake, enjoying dinner on the deck overlooking the mountains, followed by the fire pit at night. Thank you to our host, Rose for all her hard work and over site in making this so enjoyable.
