Contemporary Cottage less than an hour from NYC!

The quaint, lake town cottage is just a few short minutes from several private community beaches and sits on a quiet lot off the main country road.

The house was originally put up as a single room summer escape. In 2021, we finished a complete gut renovation. The finished house was recently featured in Dwell magazine.

We've provided modern luxuries for our oasis in the woods while maintaining its quaint feeling!

Summer Guests enjoy several beaches with lake access in the community. Guests can have access for a small fee required by the HOA. Surrounded by forest, there is plenty of hiking in the area as well.

Winter guests enjoy lots of skiing & tube activities nearby:

6 min - Winter 4 Kids
10 min - Mountain Creek Resort
20 min - Mount Peter
32 min - High Point Cross Country Ski

Great value, location, style and host!
A group of five ladies rented the cottage for a girls' weekend and I don't know why anyone would pay crazy $$$ to stay at one of the big nearby resorts and eat out when you can stay here, spread out comfortably, and do everything the area has to offer. We had spa treatments at Crystal Springs and visited wineries in the Warwick Valley during the day and came back to the cottage to relax in front of the fireplace in the evenings. If you're someone who cares about interior design--I do--the cottage is designed nicely and layed out well. With five adults we had to share rooms but everyone had her own bed, and two full bathrooms was plenty. The kitchen had enough dishware and cookware to meet all our needs and a huge table for dining and playing games. The host, Doug, was so friendly and communicative, I'm only sorry we didn't get to meet so I could thank him in person for sharing his lovely home.

Family vacation
This is our second summer returning to this lovely home in Highland Lakes. It’s perfect for us. My son, his wife and one year old and my daughter and her two year old, and us the parents/grandparents. We cooked in, ate out, participated in the clubhouse activities and went to the lake almost everyday. We can’t wait to return again. Communication is great, home is well kept and modern, and it’s not far from the city - so the drive back and forth is easy, if you need to.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this property. The owner was very responsive, the kitchen well-stocked, the view outside the back was lovely. Whoever remodeled this home really knew how to use natural light. Highly recommend this property!

Nice place for a quick gateway
Left the city during the recent snow storm to enjoy some skiing at Mountain Creek. Doug was very accommodating and communication was great. The house is located conveniently and has all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. Will definitely revisit.
