The Copake Lake house was one of the best family vacation rental houses we have experienced. It was perfect for our needs: comfortable, well designed and with more than enough room for the 5 adults and 3 small children in our family. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped. There were plenty of bath and beach towels. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The house is well-stocked with games and videos for all ages and sports equipment (kayaks, canoes, bicycles and an unadvertised recently acquired trampoline). To top it all off, the house is ideally situated on the lake shore, with a beautiful view of both the lake and the surrounding mountains, and easy access to the lake for swimming and boating. In addition, the house is located on a dead-end country road with no through traffic, so it is very quiet. Frankly, it was hard to get back to work after spending a wonderful week there. We also want to note that the owner was especially attentive to our needs. He graciously responded to our many questions during the rental process and in the weeks leading up to our arrival. He phoned us on the day of our arrival to check that we had found everything in order. Everyone in our party had a delightful week. While it's a little early for us to be planning our 2014 family vacation, we've already been talking about coming back again next summer. This review reflects the views, input or concurrence of everyone in our party.

This was our second time back to the house and we had another wonderful time!!. There were some upgrades to the house since our last visit that we appreciated (new kitchen appliances, new BBQ grill, in ground fire pit, and a new deck next to the lake). The house has a great view of the lake and mountains. With private lake front access, we loved swimming and kayaking at our leisure. The house, hot tub and decks are very comfortable and relaxing. Very much welcomed coming back and would highly recommend!

I rented the copake lake house to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday with a group of friends. From start to finish the weekend was amazing. The house is beautiful; the pictures do not do it justice. Juan was terrific from start to finish. He was very responsive with all of our questions and so incredibly hospitable. We were all so comfortable and had an amazing time. The hot tub is definitely the best part and the view from the hot tub is incredible. Seeing the sunrise from my bedroom window was priceless. Even our walk on the golf course was breath taking, the views of the mountains are a sight to see. The house had everything we wanted. Plus the drive from NYC is the perfect amount of time. I could go on and on. We hope to enjoy the house again once the weather gets warm so that we can get to enjoy the lake. Juan and family thanks for opening your home to us. We made some incredible memories. Warm regards, Gianna

The pictures do not do the house justice. It has the best view of Copake Lake and the mountains. Our favorite was the great view from the outdoor hot tub! The owner checked in with us to make sure the house was as we expected and available if needed. We celebrated New Year's and it was perfect! The house was just what we were looking for - spacious, comfortable, clean, modern and well maintained! The outdoor fire pit was an added pleasure as we overlooked the lake on a moon lit night. I will look forward to come back in the spring or summer for sure.

This house provided everything we needed! The owner is great to work with. Though it was cloudy/rainy when we stayed, the house had more than plenty to do inside as well as out. Great for families, friends or anyone wanting a calm peaceful time. Please take care of it as we want to stay at it again!
