Beautiful Getaway - Right on the Lake-Close to Skiing
Beautiful 2 bedroom (plus attic loft) home brings contemporary living to this hidden gem just 2 hours from NYC. We gutted the house completely incorporating modern amenities like a stainless steel kitchen with granite countertops, hardwood bamboo flooring and a large deck to enjoy the view of the pond just steps away. Relax in the living room watching the fire or the flat screen TV or just looking out the picture window to see the fish jumping in the pond right outside . Shmooze in the kitchen or at the dining room table just steps from the sliding doors taking you out on the deck to dine al fresco. Walk down the dock just steps from the house to swim in the refreshing pond or use our kayaks or pedal boat for a leisurely paddle. Our home is a great place for all seasons; watch the leaves change in fall, the flowers bloom in spring, close to skiiing in winter and lots of water fun in the summer. Not to mention the close proximity to the Berkshires and all it has to offer. 2 hours from NYC makes this an easy drive just to get away after a hard week at work. The house is located directly on Robinson Pond; we have a tandem kayak, and a single kayak available for your use. The house is 30 miles from Tanglewood, close to Jacob's Pillow, a short drive to Bash Bish Falls. This location is ideally situated close to NY as well as to the Berkshires plus hiking, skiing and swimming. Close to Catamount and Butternut ski areas..

Waterfront amenities and a very nicely updated interior. Quiet, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for fully accessing the Berkshires and within driving distance of Hyde Park, NY. The site offers kayaking, swimming, fishing-- more activities than we had time to pursue! The hosts were responsive and welcoming, and the property is well-priced. We will return.
I was looking for a getaway with my 18 year old son and when we walked in and he saw the house and then the kayaks he said "I love it, it's perfect" and went right down to the water and got in the kayak. We had a great time relaxing in the comfortable beds and enjoyed the two man kayak as he paddled me around to catch some pretty big bass. Perfect place, will definitely come back.
We loved this place especially for its easy access to the lake! They have a wonderful deck right on the water where my husband and I had our morning coffee watching the sunrise and the fish jumping (literally jumping!) Also so easy to get in and out of the kayaks. We loved this home mostly for the easy access to enjoying the outdoor area - dinners on the deck and fires at night. But the home was great too - beds supper comfortable, lovely fire place and nice kitchen and bathroom. We look forward to staying there again next year!
This is the fourth time we have stayed at the cottage. We love the location at about an hour from our home in the Hudson Valley. The cove it's locate on is populated with homes but the lake is never crowded. My spouse swims across the cove easily. If you enjoy watching fish jumping for a fly, fog dancing on the water and a well appointed cottage with comfortable beds, this is the place.

Great location
Cute house with plenty of amenities to enjoy the outdoors. Would definitely stay again.
Lake was great for swimming and kayaking and fishing! Was a very nice spot! Too hot to use the fire pit but it looked good.
The household essentials were all there. Had to buy or make some ice, ice maker not working.
Was a great trip! Thanks 😊
All involved were polite and accommodating. Home was clean, updated and plenty of room for us. Loved the location and the views of the pond. Dining, skiing and all other were close by. Will definitely be back! Thanks so much!
We had a perfect lake experience:
Swimming, fishing, sunrise and sunset from the dock, peace and quiet. It was exactly what we wanted from our lake vacation!
We loved this home! It was a perfect stay right on the water. Close enough to cute little towns and the host was excellent with her correspondence. I highly recommend this home for anyone looking in this area to have a relaxing time with friends and family.
My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. The house was perfect! It was clean, comfortable and on a beautiful location overlooking the lake. Would definitely come back!
We had a lovely stay in Copake. The house was peaceful and had everything we needed. The kids had a great time on the water with the boats and swimming.
We thoroughly enjoyed some family time together at this beautiful getaway house by the lake with our three teenagers. The views of the serene lake are lovely! We liked fishing off the dock, kayaking, the fire pit and dinner on the deck overlooking the water. Our teen boys liked sleeping in the loft. We were very grateful we chose this house for our first ever trip to hike in the Catskills. Although Bash-Bosh Falls was closed due to renovations we found other great hikes with beautiful waterfalls that we will always remember.
