The Best Lake House

Custom-built luxury lake house just one hour north of NYC! Gorgeous Greenwood Lake is packed with restaurants, bars, beaches, parks, trails, farms, wineries, and even private islands.

The space
Built by myself with a great deal of detail and well thought out floor plan giving spectacular views throughout. Open, yet private (each bedroom is on its own floor) for couples or families with children, you can enjoy both together time and private time. The home allows for indoor/outdoor lakefront fun. The house encompasses a full size bar and entertaining room with a pool table, two boat slips, tons of dock and deck space, an outdoor yet private 6 person hot tub, hard wood floors and custom made doors throughout, two indoor whirlpool tubs, and views galore!
We are located right in the middle of the lake, widest and deepest part of the lake so NO weed issues. Walk right into the water from our beach or just enjoy sitting on our 1000 SF dock, perfect for bringing your own boat and slipping it on our protective dock design or just viewing other boaters, fisherman, crew teams, and even sea planes. This home was built with love and time where I raised my kids, and now I am offering this beautiful space for your enjoyment. We only ask to please be mindful of the hard work, fine details, and gratifying accommodations you'll receive as a guest when booking at this lakefront home.

Guest access
There is a combination touch pad for entree.

Other things to note
We have a very detailed house guide categorized by topic. There are a lot of amenities so we encourage our guests too take a few minutes to read through the guide. There is a lot of useful information that will take all the guesswork out of staying in our home.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Jake was incredible host from start to finish. This home is special it definitely held up to its name the best lake house. Our family enjoyed every minute. The location is perfect, morning coffee on the deck and evenings spent in the hot tub watching the moon rise. This home did not disappoint, he also has a hidden gem near by. Our family is looking forward to next year already.
