Private Cozy 2BR Lakefront, 200-Acre Estate

Welcome to our property! For the past 3 years, this place has been delighting guests, and under its new ownership, it proudly carries a legacy of over 400 glowing reviews.

Stay in one of our three lakefront cabins on a 200-acre private farm, complete with a 5-acre lake, tennis court, hiking trails, fishing, swimming, and breathtaking views all around.

To make your stay even more enjoyable, we provide kayaks, life vests, tennis rackets, and firewood—everything you need.

Welcome to our beautiful lakefront cabin—a farmhouse-style retreat on nearly 200 private acres. Unlike a community setting, this property offers complete privacy and seclusion.

Amenities Included

Kayaks & pedal boats

Outdoor fire pit & indoor fireplace

Newly refinished tennis court (rackets provided)

Plenty more to enjoy during your stay

Conveniently located just 1 hour from NYC and 20 minutes from local ski resorts, the property is also close to Blair Academy, several national parks, golf courses, and horseback riding—making it the perfect year-round escape.

We also welcome weddings, retreats, family gatherings, and special events. Please contact us directly for details on associated costs and event accommodations.

The property is completely open with no fencing other than the front gate. Please enjoy the tennis court, lake, and hiking trails but be mindful of our neighbors’ property lines, which are marked by either a stone wall or POSTED/PRIVATE PROPERTY signage.

Please let us know if you need any assistance. We provide 5-star service and want to make sure you have the best stay possible.
