Cozy cottage in picturesque Putnam valley

The cottage was perfect for our weekend trip to visit our son at West Point. A picturesque drive to West Point, the cottage was so cute and was full of thoughtful amenities. Had we had the time to cook, the kitchen was stocked with spices, condiments, and cooking oils to make it easy to do so. The complimentary coffee was perfect as we arrived late and the stores were closed. The host was easy to contact and so kind and thoughtful. We will definitely book again.

Great cottage, near Lake Oscawana

My wife and I had an extended stay in July 2023. We experienced the heaviest rainfall in Putnam Valley in a 100 years! The cottage has a great location, and I loved exploring all the haunts of my childhood, from hiking in Fahnstock to dining on the waterfront in Peekskill.

Christmas stay

The house met our needs. We were up visiting with children and grandchildren from Florida. Only issue was the heat. Don’t think house is well insulated. First 3 days were cold and heat wouldn’t get above 72 (we are from Florida!). Upstairs thermostat can’t be changed (67 degrees). TV is not cable, you must use YOUR streaming services. Driveway is a little tricky. Would rent again. Kitchen is well appointed and met all of our needs. Only negative was the initial checkin. We arrived at 2pm, but lock wouldn’t let us in till 4pm. Had to go cool our heels at Panera for two hours.

About the host

Host profile image
I love creating beautiful spaces I call home, and then having the opportunity to share my home with others! When traveling myself I enjoy peace and quiet and love calm spaces to relax in.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located in a small neighborhood named Abele Park on Lake Oscawana. This beautiful, quiet neighborhood consists of a combination of year round residents and summer homes. As far back as the early 1900's this neighborhood consisted of hotels, casinos, social halls and speakeasies as it was a huge tourist attraction for locals and New York City residents (including Babe Ruth!). You can still see the un-occupied candy shop and gas station buildings down by the park.
