Property was amazing, loved the multiple decks, gazebo and dock. Our host was great making sure we had everything we could need. Clean and comfortable with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots and pan as well as stock of essentials. Definitely a place I would book again.

We fell in love with Gisela’s home the moment we walked in. It’s filled with her beautiful art, thoughtful decor, and personal touches like a well-stocked kitchen, her own honey, and a welcome gift of pasta and sauce. Natural light, cozy furniture, and stunning views of the reservoir made it so easy to relax. The dock, gazebo, and outdoor seating areas were perfect for quiet moments by the water (bug spray provided!). Gisela’s eco-conscious approach and warm hospitality made our stay truly special.

All In One Stay This artfully decorated house by the lake is a one stop shop for all the lake has to offer. A wide array of kayaks, canoes, and paddle board are offered for exploration. Two docks were useful for fishing and wading in the lake. My two kids switched activities all day every day, non-stop, and neither one even asked for an electronic. My 10 year old said that it was one of the best days of his life with all the good fishing! The kitchen was fully equipped, the grill was in great condition, and the fire pit was enjoyable. There’s nothing I would improve on, except booking a few extra days next time we return.

Relaxing and cozy! There were so many places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The lake is truly quiet which is what I wanted - somewhere we I can sit and write.

So Peaceful! This was a beautiful location for my single staycation, but families would find much to do as well. The house and host were warm and welcoming. I am already looking forward to another stay. A perfect 4 days!

Great Getaway My family stayed for a long weekend. It’s about a 10 minute drive to New Paltz. It was a perfect place to stay for my daughter’s graduation weekend. We made use of bbq, fire pit, kayaks, canoes & long board. It’s a cozy, clean, relaxing property! With amazing sunsets.
