House Rules
ARRIVAL
Check-in is at 4pm unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
DEPARTURE
Check-out is by 11am unless otherwise stated in writing. The cleaner will be arriving shortly after to begin preparing for the next renters.
AGE REQUIREMENT
Primary guest booking must be 25 years or older. The person booking should also not have any negative reviews.
PETS
Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $75 fee per pet, per stay) but are never permitted on the furniture and particularly not in beds. Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted at the property.
SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
BUGS
To avoid unwanted bugs and critters, please do not leave food out or doors open. As well, lyme, a tick-born disease, is a concern in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. Please be mindful by wearing long pants and sleeves while hiking or playing outdoors, and remember to check yourself, kids, and pets daily for ticks.
WINTER WEATHER:
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and slippery roads. While we have someone that plows and salts the roads, weather in the area can be unpredictable so please check and plan accordingly.

Lovely in winter. Feels extremely secluded at night.

Lovely cottage. Visited during the winter so no one else was in the area. Felt very private and quiet.

Great place. Beautiful lake. Had a great time, so happy they accepted dogs!

The road the house is located on has no sign and looks more like a driveway. I drove around for a moment before I recognized the house from the pictures. If I’d been arriving in the dark it would have been more difficult. Not their fault but should probably be mentioned to future guests. Otherwise it was a delightful house and in great condition. I’d stay there again.

Excellent home in the middle of Catskills Park. The home was extremely well appointed and updated with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay on the lake. The hosts were very helpful and responsive to any question we had. We will be planning on coming back next year for a long weekend in the woods.

Charming lake rental. Very relaxing and close walk to the lake. We would be happy to rent again.

Red Cottage was perfect for our group of five. The house was clean and nicely decorated. There was ample space, both inside and out, to eat, relax, and play board games on the rainy days. On the sunny days, we made use of the paddle boards which were available as the lake was a short walk from the house. For runners or walkers, the road that circled the lake was perfect as it was mostly flat with some gentle hills. For those of us who like a challenge, making a right at the end of the road will lead you down a mountain where you can stop by the General Store before hiking back up to the house. The kitchen was well equipped which made cooking meals easy. Finally, the beds were so comfortable, after a busy day at the cottage, we had no problem falling asleep. Overall, a great experience.

A super cute place with lovely design and decor. Loved being able to walk to the lake for morning coffee. And the back patio was a wonderful place to hang with the family.
