EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect.

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.

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.

Summary
The Homestead is a sprawling, renovated home on White Lake, available for large family gatherings and corporate retreats utilizing the Main House with its 11 bedrooms to accommodate up to 22 guests comfortably.
Tastefully-appointed, with lake views from most rooms in the house, this special waterfront property offers comfort and relaxation, convenient to myriad amenities in this pretty part of The Catskills, just 1hr 45mins from the George Washington Bridge.
The Home
The heart of the Main House is a bright and appealing open plan space that includes the modern kitchen, with its miles of granite countertops, two sinks, two dishwashers, and a breakfast bar; a lounge with comfy sectional that faces an elegant stone fireplace; and another seating area around the media center, for relaxed cable TV and movie viewing. Light streams through the three sets of sliding doors that open onto the extensive wraparound deck and offer lake views.
Off this Great Room, a corridor leads to the 11 bedrooms, five of which open onto the deck, and seven of which are either en suite or with a jack-and-jill bathroom. At the far end of the house, upstairs, are two bedrooms, one bath, that could suit a family quite well, with one bedroom featuring two twins and a day bed, the other a queen, and the shared bath has a tub/shower.
There is a butler's pantry that's really another room, off the other side of the Great Room, which includes another refrigerator, sink and storage. This is part of a breezeway that connects the Main House with The Cottage, via a door in that room that is locked when not in use.
The kitchen has a center island with breakfast bar and the usual appliances. A separate dining room faces the front of the building, which enjoys wonderful sunlight at breakfast time. The three bedrooms are upstairs, with a king bed in the master, and a private bathroom with a shower. The other two bedrooms (two twins and a queen), share a bathroom that has a tub/shower.
The hamlet of Kauneonga Lake, a three minute walk from the house, buzzes most of the year with restaurants, a bakery and a couple of shops. A short drive will take you to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which is the jewel in the crown of Sullivan County, boasting an impressive concert line-up in summer, and several fairs and festivals during the autumn.
