Ultimate Lakefront Escape - Pool, Private Dock & Tennis Court

Welcome to your Hudson Valley lakefront escape on Upper Rhoda Pond —where space, nature, and thoughtful amenities come together for an unforgettable stay.

This large home offers everything you need for a true getaway, starting with its stunning double-height great room. Anchored by a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and filled with natural light, it’s a warm and inviting place to gather. Two sets of double doors open out to a wraparound deck overlooking the pool and offering glimpses toward the lake, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The outdoor setup is what truly sets this home apart. Spend your days lounging by the pool, grilling and dining on the deck, or relaxing in the screened-in porch. Just a short walk away, cross a private bridge over a charming stream to reach the lakefront—complete with a private dock, boats, kayaks, and a shared floating swim dock in the middle of the lake for endless summer fun.

Inside, the home is designed with groups in mind. The open kitchen features generous counter space and an eating bar, perfect for casual meals and gathering while cooking. A separate dining room offers space for larger meals together, while multiple living areas ensure everyone has room to unwind.

Downstairs, the expansive recreation room is a destination of its own—complete with a sectional sofa, TV, ping pong table, and a mini bar/partial kitchen. With direct access to the outdoors and pool area, it’s ideal for kids, teens, or late-night hangouts.

Wonderful 3 generation family vacation

Perfect location!

Don’t let the 1980s decor fool you, the place is immaculate. We were a family of 8 and all the kids had their own rooms. The property is huge and very private. The owner took care of a minor issue via a very nice caretaker who arrived within 10 minutes and asked us what else we might need. Highly recommend!

Thanksgiving with family

We rented this home to be near our family on Copake Lake. It was exactly what we needed with ample space and privacy for my family of 5 plus in laws. The house was well stocked with kitchenware, bedding, games / activities for all. We stayed in November but I bet this place is even more fun in the summer with the in ground pool and easy lake access. We will be back!

A week of fun to kick off summer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Plenty of space to spread out (the kids loved hanging out in the basement). All of us enjoyed splashing and floating in the pool. We took day trips to Bish Bash Falls as well as Catamount to check out their ropes course. This is an excellent property for multiple families with children.

Beautiful property

My family and I rented two of Jennifer’s properties for the weekend. They were fantastic as we could get back and forth between over a foot bridge by the water. She was a fantastic host, the house was spotless and had everything you could ever need for a fun vacation on the water including any game you could dream up to help pass a rainy evening! We’ve already talked about booking these houses again!

Perfect house for family reunion

We had a multi-generational family gathering and the house worked out perfectly for us. The two sides of the house provided separation, spacious living room was great for adult socializing, while basement was a favorite entertainment space for teenagers. Nice kitchen and big dining table were perfect for us. The house was very clean and comfortable. The house is located close to excellent hiking trails and other outdoor activities. The owner responded quickly to all messages and accomdated all our requests.

Annual Family Reunion

It was an awesome vacation. We will definitely be back!! There is no need to leave the property. There is a private pool, lake access, a gym in walking distance, and a nice private yard for the kids to play soccer and the dogs to run around. However, if you must leave the grocery store is only 15 min away (and has everything you need). Also, Taconic State Park is not far either and has a beach with a snack bar, which is great for the kids. We had movie night every night in the spacious living room. There are two full refrigerators that were very helpful. The screened in porch was so relaxing and useful. We look forward to another great vacation at this property.

House is great

The house is even nicer than pictured. Very private yard. Everything was extremely clean, including the pool. Wonderful deck and screened porch. There isn't too much around, but that was fine with us. The pond is a little scummy by the dock - you have to paddle to a floating dock to swim. And it was challenging to get the kayaks/canoe into the water for us. No handles on the kayaks, canoe is heavy, have to carry them down steps to a moving dock, and we are all over 60. Communication with the owner was poor both before and after we were there, but very good while we were there. We let her know that a drawer was broken, and someone was there to fix it that day. Overall it was great and we already booked for next year.

Misrepresented it's a Pond not a Lake

This house is on a Pond not a Lake, it's a total misrepresentation. The pool area was in desperate need of weeding there were weeds growing through the stones The house was nice clean plenty of pool toys linens and furnishings. But three of the bedrooms have very large beautiful windows but there were no window coverings so those rooms had no privacy and my children wouldn't even sleep in two of them because they felt uncomfortable so they slept on the couch. Also the neighbors had no problem letting us know that they are not fond of the home being a rental the because "they were making to much noise" I also had a neighbor ask me about the procedure for renting the home because there seems to be some controversy with the town and this rental this created a little bit of a stressful situation

Family trip

We had a great vacation for an extended family trip. Beautiful area of NY. Outside areas of the house are lovely with lots of yard, a well maintained and private pool area, nice firepit and plenty of outdoor furniture. If you are not satisfied to stay at the property there are activities in the area. We spent several evenings at the fire pit and many hours in the pool. The bushes outside the deck and around the pool would benefit from a trim and the downstairs area needs some updating. Aside from those minor comments the property is as represented and the manager is responsive. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Hudson Valley Home

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay in this Copake home. We enjoyed kayaking, and the tennis courts. We saw eagles fishing in the waters and flying over the house. There is a lovely patio with a gas grill. We had a small problem with a broken coffee carafe on our first day, that Jennifer remedied right away. She also made sure that we had wood for a fire in the fireplace, access to the kayaks and tennis equipment. We enjoyed visiting the small towns nearby and the many local diners in the area. A hike to nearby Bash Bish falls was icing on the cake.

Amazing property!

We spent a long weekend at this beautiful property with a group of friends. The house is spacious and comfortable, extremely clean and with an amazing view on the lake. It’s actually much nicer than the pictures and there is a tennis court (shared with a few other houses) + canoe and kayak to enjoy the lake! Very smooth communication with Jenifer who was kind enough to give us a very late checkout on Sunday night. We are looking forward to returning to this house and I can’t recommend it enough.
