Classic Catskills Estate, Amazing Location!

Welcome to Lachland! (PLEASE NOTE AT THIS TIME OUR MINIMUM RENTAL IS 30 DAYS, DUE TO LOCAL LAW) This 5 bedroom home has been a beloved family vacation home for 4 generations. Lachland is located on a private, gated road. You will experience spectacular views , and nature walks that begin the moment you step outside. The gracious 3000 square foot home easily contains and entertains a large family or friends group. Very comfortably sleeps 13 guests, with additional space for squeezing a few more in. The house began life as a barn in the late 1800's. It was then converted to a hunting lodge in the early 20th century. It has been in our family since the late 1940's, when the hunting lodge was converted once again to a family home. The original hand-hewn barn beams are still visible in much of the house. The decor has charming vintage appeal with many original details. Bedrooms include: the master bedroom suite with a king sized bed, private bathroom and dressing area, the all season 'sleeping porch' that is great for kids or families with 5 twin beds, the green room with 2 twin beds, the blue room with 2 full beds, and the sunrise room which has a king sized bed (custom built raised bed to witness the sunrise, truly awe-inspiring). Vintage 1950's kitchen is well equipped and has large modern appliances. There are several serious cooks in our family, so the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and baking. The dining room is directly adjacent to the kitchen and has seating for up to 15 at an antique banquet table. Many of our guests have commented how wonderful and rare it is to be able to sit down together at one table. A large living room makes it easy to reconnect with family and friends. A stately Steinway piano, circa 1893, adds to the fun. The living room is part of the original barn structure, and maintains a rustic elegance. Lounging on the wide open porch and soaking up the spectacular views is a required activity. You will have access to basic household items such as dish soap, paper towels, aluminum foil, etc, to make your vacation seamless. House linens are provided, no need to bring sheets towels, or extra blankets. Explore the grounds and be taken in by the sweeping lawn, rock formations and rolling fields that surround the house. Spend a lovely evening at the stone fire pit, roasting marshmallows and watching the fireflies. Make sure the kids visit our fairy house, a favorite of the Lachland children. Perhaps the best feature of the house is the vista of the surrounding mountains and the Ashokan Reservoir. The open porch and raised stone patio allow for breathtaking views, and many of the bedrooms have excellent views also. Large picture windows in the living room, dining room, and kitchen ensure that you'll have great scenery inside the house too. A unique getaway in a truly beautiful area. High speed satellite internet/Wi-Fi. Please contact us with any questions, we are more than happy to assist you.
