Wonderful vacation house!
This is a beautiful home, perfect for a large family group. Plenty of room and set up well. The games room, kayaks, and hot tub were in great shape. Fire pit and firewood for s'mores. Tons of outdoor seating. We had a great time. The downsides are that the lower floor bedrooms have a musty smell, and the lake is not good for swimming due to frequent boat traffic on the narrow lake and questionable water quality (heavy algae blooms). If a group had small children, they might want to know that this property does not have a sandy or protected wading/beach area and is not the best for little kids.

Family Vacation
Property was clean and had everything we needed. Craig, the property manager, was very friendly and very responsive to our questions. Path to the house is very steep, so maybe challenging for older people. Cars can drive down the path, so that was great for unloading. One area of the dock may be challenging too, but with help, is fine. Water had some algae in it. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable week.

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
We are the proud new owners of this great property. After staying 4 summers ago down the road we fell in love with Swinging Bridge Lake and all that it offers. We also own the house directly next door with another 7 bedrooms giving you the opportunity to have 12 lakefront bedrooms and enjoy both properties at once.

Why they chose this property

The Hudson Valley and foothills of the Catskills offer a wide variety of outdoor adventures, scenic vistas and culinary experiences.The Lakehouse is situated just minutes from the world renowned Bethel Woods concert venue, Monticello Raceway, mind body and spirit massage and yoga retreat center (ask about in home treatments) and has assembled a variety of activities within the confines of the property. Lake it is only a 90 min drive from NYC and an hours drive from Stewart International Airport, allowing you to be in another world with an easier pace and in a natural and relaxed setting in a matter of minutes..

What makes this property unique

Our house offers such a wide a variety of recreational experiences one could simply stay within the limits of the house, yard and lake to find the adventure of a lifetime. For those who care for motorized lake sports the far end of the lake abounds, for a quieter and slower pace one can enjoy the nearby dead end of the lake for a day of fishing and relaxing. There is also much to be seen in and around the region and always something to be left for the return trip to our lakefront paradise. Hudson river walkway, Mohonk Mountain Preserve, Minnewaska hiking trails and many other historic places are within an hours drive.
