Pets Allowed with Charges, Smoking Not Allowed, Parties not allowed, Not Suitable for Infants. This is a lakefront home with unrestricted access to open bodies of water., Additional: 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). Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted. Failure to disclose any pets in advance may result in additional fees or penalties.

SMOKING
No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly. Any violation of this policy is subject to a $500 fee.

EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team.

ACCURATE GUEST COUNT
The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented.

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.

4star rating
Well-appointed, comfortable home. Space was perfect for 2 adults and 3 teens. The house is remote, very quiet and relaxing. The house sits on a body of water that feeds into Sleepy Hollow Lake, the water is very murky off the dock so we couldn’t swim as we would have liked. Kayaks and canoes were used often, as was the record player and great collection of vinyl. Communication with host was easy and all questions were answered quickly.

Relaxing Family Time

5star rating
We wanted to find a place where my scattered family of 5 busy adults could reconnect and this property was perfect for us. We’d love to come back! Check-in was beyond easy and communication with the property managers both before and during our two week stay was great. The neighborhood is very quiet and the cabin is set back from the street so you really feel you’re living in the woods. It was so clean it sparkled and its various levels are even more beautiful than the photographs show. The kitchen is well-stocked and the gas grill made for easy dinners. Kayaking and swimming were perfect during some of the hottest days and it always felt great to return to the house after exploring the area. Things to be aware of: the stairs going down to the first level as well as those leading to the third floor are steep, which may be a challenge for people with mobility issues; the house is deep in a wooded area so you may be driving a lot and once you leave the house, wifi and GPS may be limited in your car until you are out of the community; finally, the path to the kayaks is also very steep. Sturdy rubber-soled water shoes recommended!

5 adults (ages 35-82), 3 dogs (ages 6-13) and a 3 &1/2 year old. Everyone was comfortable, we had SO much to do and the house was beautiful. We kayaked, swam, fished, cooked at home, hiked the local trails, relaxed – oh boy did we relax – the deck was our favorite place! The pool was great, we went everyday. The house has so much more than you need and it was SO kid friendly. We brought more than we needed to (as you do with a kid) but truthfully we didn’t need to bring toys, they had everything, even down to the bath toys. The toiletries provided were amazing. Enough space to eat dinner together every night. I could go on, we can’t wait to be back!
