Mini College Reunion

This house was perfect for our group! The kitchen was fully equipped to meet our needs and the bedrooms and bathrooms offered ample space. The home itself was very kid friendly with pack n plays, a highchair, toys, etc. It is located in a very cute community and had a grocery store, liquor store, gas station all nearby.

Good stay.

Nice host and home! The owner was very responsive when i pointed out a minor issue in the bathroom. We took off one star because, as a group, we felt the cleaning fee was too high, especially considering you are required to clean before you leave.

Great house to stay and relax

Our group of 12 had a great stay at the house. There was plenty of room for us all with the spacious bedrooms and 2 living room areas. We had 2 kids use the floor mattresses which worked well for them. The house was clean, kitchen well stocked, grill was easy to use, very close walk to the pool and beach areas. Lastly, the owner Alex was very easy to communicate with and answered questions right away. Highly recommend this house!

A true Sleepy Hollow Lake Gem!

This beautiful home boasts a great open floor plan, with two living rooms and is excellent for entertaining a large family. Great decor inside and out with top notch furnishings. The very attentive hosts provided everything you could ask for in a vacation home and more. I have rented many homes at Sleepy Hollow Lake and this one by far is one of the best! Highly recommend.

Steps from the pool or beach

This community is remote enough that you only interact with those that are staying onsite, but the grocery store is only a short drive. The pool was less than a 5min walk and wasn't overly crowded. The beach is right next to the pool, and while small wasn't overly crowded either. The home is well styled and well laid out for our party of 10 (5 adults, 5 teens). Pros: access to on property amenities; excellent communication and responsiveness from owner; two larger screen TV's; Opportunities: acoustics on first floor are poor due to vaulted ceiling; property needs minor preventative maintenance work; only enough dishes for one meal for our party size

Family sanctuary

Lovely property well-maintained. Walking distance to pool house and lake swimming area. Fishing on land too. 20-40 min drive to popular Catskills destinations, great getaway with enough space for our 11 (6 adults, 5 kids).

Nice stay in the Catskills

House was very roomy and met our needs. It was clean and had most everything we needed. The association has great amenities and is great for families. The lake and pool were well maintained. There is a parking permit process that must be completed. I didn't know about that until the day before our trip and didn't receive the form until the day we checked in. I wish this was communicated to me sooner. It was a minor issue that didn't impact us too much.

Love it and already booked for next year

The house was great. It's new and had everything we needed/wanted. Thre was a small deck where the BBQ grill was located and there were plenty of seats and tables on the lawn. We had a great time BBQing. The yard was not fenced, but had natural vegetation separting it from the other properties. We loved the community pool/beach/tennis court. The pool/beach was just a few houses down. The doggy beach was small, but that didn't stop our dog from going swimming. The community dog park was not fenced for those who are bringing their dog(s). We loved it so much and will be returning next year. The owner was TOP NOTCH. Answering all our questions and addressing all our needs. Cannot be happier.

Beautiful house with everything we needed

We rented this house for a girl's trip and it was everything we had hoped. The location was beautiful and the house itself was clean and well decorated. We appreciated that it was stocked for everything we might want- like board games, shampoo and conditioner, and a stocked kitchen. Alex, our contact for the house was helpful and kind. Highly recommend this house!

Fantastic accommodations

From beginning to end Alex could not have been more helpful with our needs. The place is perfect for large family and has everything. Kitchen was perfect for making all kind of meals. Comfy beds, AC, TV’s , children needs and games were all amazing.. Back yard perfect for our badminton set and great fire pit.Pool and lake literally 5 min walk and very child friendly. Alex even gave immediate relief when the grill was out of gas . I would recommend this as one of the most perfect vacation places for a multigenerational family.

Awesome Stay!

The pictures and description were exactly what we found when we checked in. We appreciated all of the amenities such as beach towels, games/toys, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and dishwashing liquid. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and also one more adult and 2 small children who came for a couple of nights. The huge dining room table was perfect! The only disappointment was that the grass was too high to play or sit outback and the lawn chairs were full of bird droppings, but we kept busy at the lake, pool and sightseeing. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Place for Family Getaway

The house is a perfect place to spend time with your family! It is walking distance to the lake and pool. The bedrooms are comfortable and there are two different living rooms. The neighborhood is beautiful and easy to drive to everywhere else in the area.
