The summer months are magical here at the lake. Bring your bike and take a ride around the community's quiet and low traffic roads. Visit one of the 3 playgrounds (age 1-5 is best), 2 pools, private beach with BBQ pits, or any of the other amenities included for free with the wristbands provided with your stay. In the fall the Hudson valley transforms into a picturesque landscape perfect for a hike (so many just a short drive away), apple picking, pumpkin picking, farmers markets, and visiting local wineries or distilleries. Visit the slopes to ski or go tubing in the winter- Hunter and Windham mountains are a short 20 minute ride. Historic Hudson offers many casual and fine dining restaurants, antique shops, galleries, shopping, etc. The towns of Athens, Catskill, and Coxsackie are 5-15 minutes away for convenience stores, grocery shopping, liquor stores, restaurants, breweries/bars, bowling, and movie theaters. Sleepy Hollow Lake is a short 2 hour drive from NYC and 35 minute drive to Albany.

Great Family Vacay House

Perfect cabin getaway for a bachelorette weekend

We stayed at this cabin for a bachelorette weekend with a group of friends and had a very comfortable stay. Every room was clean, well-maintained, and spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax without feeling cramped. The common areas were just as roomy and cozy, making it easy to hang out together. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, so we were able to cook meals together, and we loved using the fire pit to make s’mores. The only thing I would note is that the pillows in the main bedroom were a bit too firm for my liking so I wish I had brought my own. Overall, it’s a great place for a group stay and I would highly recommend it!
