About this house rental
The quaint, lake town cottage is just a few short minutes from several private community beaches and sits on a quiet lot off the main country road.
The house was originally put up as a single room summer escape. In 2021, we finished a complete gut renovation. The finished house was recently featured in Dwell magazine.
We've provided modern luxuries for our oasis in the woods while maintaining its quaint feeling!
Summer Guests enjoy several beaches with lake access in the community. Guests can have access for a small fee required by the HOA. Surrounded by forest, there is plenty of hiking in the area as well.
Winter guests enjoy lots of skiing & tube activities nearby:
6 min - Winter 4 Kids
10 min - Mountain Creek Resort
20 min - Mount Peter
32 min - High Point Cross Country Ski

1.0 / 5.0
We recently tried to stay this property and was extremely disappointed with our experience. The property was not well-maintained, with ankle-high grass, spider webs, and ants inside the house. The backyard was littered with empty water bottles. Additionally, the listing description was misleading, as it advertised a three-bedroom loft, but upon arrival, we found it to be a two-bedroom loft. This was especially problematic for our elderly family members.
We contacted the host to address these issues but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. As a result, we had to vacate the premises and find alternative accommodations for the rest of our trip.
The property clearly hadn't been properly inspected by the host, and the pictures did not accurately reflect the reality. This was a highly disappointing experience, especially considering the long distance we traveled. I would not recommend this property to others.
The discussion with the host was respectful yet disappointing.

We love coming here with our adult children and our grandchildren. The design of this small house is perfect for the 7 of us. We cook here, shop nearby, enjoy the amenities of the clubhouse and beaches by the lakes. It’s perfect for all of us and the hosts are terrific. Looking forward to next year.

A group of five ladies rented the cottage for a girls' weekend and I don't know why anyone would pay crazy $$$ to stay at one of the big nearby resorts and eat out when you can stay here, spread out comfortably, and do everything the area has to offer. We had spa treatments at Crystal Springs and visited wineries in the Warwick Valley during the day and came back to the cottage to relax in front of the fireplace in the evenings.
If you're someone who cares about interior design--I do--the cottage is designed nicely and layed out well. With five adults we had to share rooms but everyone had her own bed, and two full bathrooms was plenty. The kitchen had enough dishware and cookware to meet all our needs and a huge table for dining and playing games.
The host, Doug, was so friendly and communicative, I'm only sorry we didn't get to meet so I could thank him in person for sharing his lovely home.

This is our second summer returning to this lovely home in Highland Lakes. It’s perfect for us. My son, his wife and one year old and my daughter and her two year old, and us the parents/grandparents. We cooked in, ate out, participated in the clubhouse activities and went to the lake almost everyday. We can’t wait to return again. Communication is great, home is well kept and modern, and it’s not far from the city - so the drive back and forth is easy, if you need to.

A Very nice and comfortable play to stay away from home. Very well appointed and close enough to the city to make trips in effortlessly. Would definitely come back :)

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this property. The owner was very responsive, the kitchen well-stocked, the view outside the back was lovely. Whoever remodeled this home really knew how to use natural light. Highly recommend this property!

Doug was very accommodating and communication was great. The house is located conveniently and has all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay.
Will definitely revisit.

Lovely House with great design and amenities
We had a great time at the house which was beautifully renovated with all the amenities that we needed and the perfect amount of space for us and our three small children. The house was beautiful with great furniture and a peaceful feeling inside. The only thing that was unexpected was the close proximity to the road. We were hoping that the property would be more surrounded by trees and farther from the road.

The perfect getaway from the city
We had such a wonderful time at Douglas' house. His house is soo beautiful and perfect for a mini holiday. He has everything you need in the house and it's walking distance from a beautiful lake. I wish we could have stayed for longer but I do hope to return. Douglas was very responsive with and shared all the information before our stay.
