We're avid kayakers with two large dogs (Briards) and this house was very convenient for launching our boats and getting the dogs in and out for a swim in
the beautiful lake off its really nice dock.
It's also a short drive to the boat launch are at the wonderful Basha Wildlife Refuge and its 3,000 acre wetland where Painted Turtles bask everywhere and Bald Eagles almost seem to pose for pics as you kayak by.
The Neversink Gorge trailhead was also a short drive with miles of hiking trails (be sure to stop at Mullet Brook Falls, an absolutely beautiful site!!!). Garter snakes and toads were observed along the trail and frogs and butterflies were observed down at the river (near Denton Falls).
The beds were comfortable and the shower was great (plenty of hot water with far better pressure than houses we've rented in the past). The porch, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect place to unwind and have a relaxing dinner (if you bring your own charcoal grills like we do for dietary reasons, make sure to set them up on the gravel driveway in front of the house rather than out the back door where the neighbor up the hill and across the street behind the house will fear you'll start a forest fire). The juke box, with its speakers on the porch, was stocked with tons of CDs to choose from from every genre. The adjacent neighbors and those we met walking our dogs along the road were all friendly.
