Great place to stay

Stayed at this wonderful place for a family weekend. It had everything we needed including marshmallow sticks for the fire pit. The lake/pond is great to swim in as well as taking the kayaks out. Jenifer was quick to respond when I messaged about the BBQ propane tank being empty.

Lovely Lakeside Home

This is a very comfortable house on a pristine lake in upstate NY. We were traveling with two kids (4 and 1) and found the flat layout of the home to be suitable. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was spacious and well equipped. Despite our stay being in December, we can imagine that this would also be a great place to stay over the summer months given the tennis court, large lawn area, patio, and lake access.

Lovely relaxing lake house

Property was clean, charming, and spacious. Nice kitchen for cooking. Beds were comfy. The outdoors areas were the star - big lawn, beautiful trees full of birds with pretty songs, and a wonderful lake that was just the right temperature for swimming. We don't play tennis, but the tennis court looked great and I suspect it would have been awesome if we did play tennis.

Serenity scape

The property is beautiful with away from other homes giving you enough privacy to hang out without feel like you bother others. We had two kids with us and they had tons of fun using the paddle boats and the tennis/basketball court (which is on the property). Great living arrangement and all cooking items needed. We came to regroup from city life and escape the noise. We spend every night doing bonfires and watching the starts.

Catamount Copake Adventure

This was our first visit to the area. There are some lovely shops nearby in Copake and Great Barrington is a larger town close by. The ski areas of Catamount and Butternut are were both a short distance from the house. The main bedroom was large and private as it separated from the other 3 bedrooms by the living areas. The home was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We did need to thoroughly clean the an suite bathroom as it was not up to our standards.

What an AMAZING place and an AMAZING time we had at this AMAZING house! We were fortunate also to meet the owner, Jenifer, who was lovely and helpful in answering any questions we may have had. This home had everything AND MORE to accomodate our family. Expansive property on the lake with kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, tennis/basketball, grilling and the fire pit was enjoyed by all! Every room in the house was well-appointed with great attention to detail....the beds were oh so comfortable and the linens/towels were all top quality as was the kitchen supplies. A vast array of books and even toys for the tots was available! Highly recommend this AMAZING getaway!!! Hope to return!!!

Peaceful family trip

This property is situated on a large piece of beautifully maintained land on a large pond. The views were lovely and the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The house is well stocked with so many kitchen tool essentials we found it very easy to cook and eat together. (No food or ingredient supplies though, heads up!) The kitchen and dining area are so open, with a great view out the back and exit to the patio, so it made spending time together easy. The bedrooms were comfortable and we mostly were well stocked with towels, although there were only a few washcloths for the 7 of us (plus toddler), so maybe pack some if you need them usually. We loved the kayaks and paddle boat, and the tennis/basketball court (there aresupplies for all of these things in the shed). Also, the on property gym (in a separate little building close to the house) was so nicely equipped! Overall, we had a blast at this comfy and cozy house on the water!Only things to note: the pier going out into the water from the shore is partially broken and a little unsteady. We thought there’d be access off of that into the water, but we realized after arriving and reading the guide in the house that the best bet was to take a kayak out to the floating (shared) dock to swim/float around there, which worked great. The water was very clear once you got out there and an amazing temperature. It was a great place to swim,float, kayak, and paddle boat!

Nice but listing is inaccuarate

Positives: Lovely location on the lake with plenty or property to support outside fun. Comfortable sleeping arrangements (with one exception), great indoor space with large dining area and comfortable living room. Close to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and surrounding by cute towns. Great area. Negatives: Kitchen was mediocre. It was awkwardly configured with the microwave embedded under a counter and door opening in a way that made access awkward--especially for cleaning. Ditto for refrigerator which swung toward the counter, effectively rendering some prep space and access to the sink impossible when the door was open. While well equipped, all the knives were so dull you couldn't use them--we sharpened them ourselves. The bedroom with trundle bed is very hot--no window treatments on sky lights or upper windows and no a/c in this room, and we had to request a fan. Our biggest disappointment was the condition of the tennis court compared to the listed description. The net was not installed upon our arrrival. The court is cracked and has large weeds growing up between them. There was leaf and weed debris piled up in the corners and poison ivy encroaching on the court. We are serious tennis players who chose this (more expensive) option for the court which was unplayable. Had we known, we would not have stayed here.
