Lakefront Chalet w/ hot tub, game room, and kayaks. Pet-friendly!
Immerse yourself in the nature of the Catskills at this pet-friendly lakefront retreat. Nestled among the trees, the property offers: o 5.5 acres to explore with private shoreline, wooded trails, and limestone cliffs; o Hot tub overlooking the lake o Skiing, snow tubing, ice skating, & fat biking within 25 minutes; o Gameroom with ping pong, air hockey, foosball, and Xbox; and o Extras like snow shoes, fire pit, coffee bar, reading nook & wood-burning stove.
You will have exclusive access to the property's private lakefront shoreline, with many activities right on the property.
In the winter, you can enjoy your time at the lake by... o Using the snowshoes we provide to explore the 5.5 acre property’s winding trails, limestone cliffs, and winter views of surrounding mountains; o Gathering around the crackling firepit directly on the shore, roasting marshmallows under a starlit sky; o Relaxing on the spacious wrap-around deck, with views of the pristine lake and a propane fire table to keep you warm; o Soaking in the hot tub that overlooks the lake; o Igniting some friendly competition in the game room with its 6’ ping pong table, X box (with free access to a plethora of games), tabletop air hockey and foosball, and large collection of classic board games; o Taking advantage of the cozy “extras” that make this property unique – including its reading nook, towel-warmer, and coffee bar with a variety of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa options.
As part of a private community, the lake is not accessible to the public, helping it remain pristine year after year. You will be surrounded by nature, but you will also be able to access... o Skiing and snowtubing at Plattekill Mountain – considered a locals’ favorite and a hidden gem for skiing in the Catskills – within 25 minutes; o Cross-country skiing, ice skating, fat biking, and sledding at Mine Kill State Park and Bearpen Mountain (within a half hour drive); o Other Catskills skiing resorts like Belleayre Mountain (45 minutes away) and Windham and Hunter Mountains (both less than an hour away); and o Groceries, restaurants, gas stations, and even a gym offering day passes within a 15 minute drive.
In warmer weather, the property transforms into an aquatic haven for activity. Cool off with a swim in the refreshing waters, explore the lake in a kayak or paddleboat, cast a line for your own freshly-caught trout, or challenge your friends to a game of croquet, badminton, or volleyball on the expansive lawn. Don't worry about packing extras – we've included the following for your convenience: o two kayaks, o a paddleboat, o life vests, o fishing rods, o badminton/volleyball net and equipment, and o lawn games like croquet and cornhole.
The property's prime location allows you to explore so many Catskills activities: o Walk, run, or bike the Catskill Scenic Trail as you take in the beauty of the surrounding mountains and forest (5 minute drive to entry point) o Fly fish or take a river tube down the west branch of the Delaware river (5 minute drive to an entry point) o Reach any of the Catskills’ four ski mountains in less than an hour. Plattekill Mountain is the closest (25 minutes away). In addition to being a locals' favorite for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in the winter, the mountain offers summer activities as well, with its hiking trails, lift-accessed mountain biking, and summer concert series. Windham and Belleayre mountains are both 45 minutes away and you can reach Hunter Mountain in less than an hour. o Explore multiple waterfalls and well-known hikes like Mount Utsayantha and Pratt Rock (all within a 30 minute drive) o View Mine Kill Falls’ 80-feet of cascading water at Mine Kill State Park, where you can also hike or mountain bike on its 8 miles of trails, use its boat launch, or enjoy the mountain views surrounding its free seasonal Olympic-sized pool. In the winter, the park also offers ice skating, sledding, and snow-shoeing, with equipment rentals on-site. (20 minutes away) o Take a subterranean boat ride or participate in a spelunking tour as you explore Howe Caverns, a limestone cave system carved by an underground river over millions of years o Enjoy free access to seasonal outdoor pools in Stamford (15 minutes) and Mine Kill State Park (20-25 minutes away). The Olympic-sized pool at Mine Kill State Park is accompanied by a wading pool for little ones and a diving tank for the more adventurous. o Browse books of every genre in the town of Hobart, the only "book village" east of the Mississippi River (less than 10 minutes away) o Other destinations less than an hour away include the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Kaaterskill Falls, Ashokan Reservoir, SUNY Delhi, multiple farmers markets, and a number of breweries and cideries

The location offered the peace and quiet we needed. The property was welcoming for us and our dogs. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The little things made it even better. The guest manual with lots of helpful information, restaurant, and activity recommendations was appreciated. The snack basket and coffee options available when we arrived made us feel even more welcome. This was a great home away from home for our get away.

Wonderful stay!!
We had a wonderful stay! The house has everything you could possibly need for a fun weekend or week! So much to do between the lake and the games! We paddleboated, fished, played badminton, ping pong and cornhole! The host is very generous with her house, and just wants everyone to have a great time at her place!
There are two loungers and four adirondack chairs down by the lake (not pictured) which is very nice! The house has everything you need to make meals if you don't want to go out. There are a few places near by but not alot. We went to Madadoodles twice for ice cream :) On our first night we saw a porcupine on our way back from getting ice cream so that was pretty exciting!
We will definitely be back!! Thank you Nicole!!
