We had a fantastic stay! The host was extremely communicative and made everything easy from start to finish. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location on the lake was absolutely beautiful — peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We had a blast and would love to come back again next year!

We loved our stay. We were out and about exploring the Hudson Valley and looked forward to returning every afternoon to relax, kayak, hot tub and have dinner on the porch. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway! We had an amazing stay at this lakeside house! I came with my wife and our two kids, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The house is a dream — beautifully maintained, high quality linen, fully equipped with every detail a guest could possibly need, and the owners were incredibly responsive and kind from start to finish. Having a barbecue by the lake in the evening, during sunset, was memorable! The lake access is unbeatable! We used the kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and enjoyed peaceful moments on the water every day. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings, and we had so much fun with the mini arcade — our kids loved it (and so did we!) - Thanks for the links, Lilian, definitely buying to my home as well. The outdoor barbecue area was fantastic, and we had several delicious meals while enjoying the view. Everything in the house is thoughtfully arranged, and it’s clear that the hosts care deeply about providing a five-star experience. We felt right at home the entire time and didn’t want to leave. If you’re looking for the perfect family getaway spot, this is it. We used every single amenity and loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to come back!

Lillian and Shannon are phenomenal! Very responsive and in a timely manner. My family and I created memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend having your morning coffee on the balcony looking over the water while the birds are singing. Pure bliss! Their attention to detail and hospitality make you feel right at home. The house is very clean and well maintained. I would definitely book this home again.

Had a great time staying during a hot and humid summer weekend. Made great use of the kayaks and swimming in the creek. Note that you can’t touch the bottom in the creek off the dock, but we would paddle a short ways up the creek to little sandy patches for our toddler to wade in the water. House had everything we needed. Lillian was a great host, very communicative and the property manager reached out on our first day to say she was available if we needed anything. We didn’t but it was great to know we could easily reach out if we had any issues. Was also a good location to explore the small towns in the Hudson valley and all they had to offer. Would stay again next time we’re in the area!

We went for a girl's trip to settle down and unwind. It was perfect, clean, and exactly as described! She even had toothbrushes in case we were without. The separate bedroom in the sauna would have been amazing but the smell of the treated wood was way too strong for any of my group to sleep in there. I would suggest a screen in the pop out window to help air it out and it will be perfect as well! The area was quiet and serene and even with work being done on the house next door, didn't bother us one bit. DO NOT forget the bug spray. Those NY mosquitoes love the AB+ blood type. They feasted on me even with it on, but the other 4 women I was with, hardly got bit at all. We would definitely visit again. 10 out of 10!

We were a family of 11 going to a wedding in Saugerties. The option of a hotel for us all is not ideal so we always look for a short term rental house. Sometimes the place we rent is disappointing as it is not as advertised. The google picture from the street is not that great as the place really has no curbside appeal. We were more than pleasantly surprised with this place. It was spotlessly clean, the towels were great, the location perfect, the beds comfortable, the kayaks fun, etc. The house is a short walk from the main part of the town. We could walk to the 'night before' activities in the town and it was a short ride to the wedding venue. We could not think of a thing that was missing.

We had a group of 15 attending a wedding and this was the perfect location! Unfortunately it was pouring rain over the weekend but this amazing airbnb had more than enough entertainment - TVs, Games, Hot Tub & Sauna! Our group had so much fun and it was hassle free to check in & check out. Also great location since it’s walking distance to town and has a large yard in the back for groups to hangout together. Although it’s 2 different units, the living room was large enough to entertain our whole group without feeling separated within the units! 10/10 recommend staying here!

We had a brief weekend stay for graduation. The place was great for the group of five. The house was clean and laid out well. With two baths, it was easy to get ready. The kitchen was nicely equipped.
