About this property

Scenic Lakefront Home offering peaceful oasis

Large lakefront home on Upper Greenwood Lake, is just a short 10 minute drive away from quaint and historic Warwick, New York, replete with great restaurants & myriad fun activities, and 18-minutes from skiing, sledding, tubing at the new expanded tubing and spa resorts at Vernon Valley, Great Gorge, NJ.

Apple & pumpkin picking aplenty, just 8 minutes north, along with farmer's markets & small stores selling the tastiest home made pies ever, as well as year round home made ice cream.

The iconic Warwick Drive In is open year round for your viewing pleasure; such fun!

Skylights offer a glimpse of the beautiful sunlight, or soft rain, or flakey snow; it boasts a nature charm in each season. Perfect nooks abound in this funky home, to snuggle up with a book, or to take a quick nap on the futon.

The lakefront jewel sleeps 2-6 comfortably and can be rented for a 6 month period at a 15% discount from the daily rate. 6 month renters enjoy all lake privileges including swimming, kayaking, tubing, fishing, etc. in summer months.

LESS THAN 6 MONTH RENTERS CANNOT USE THE LAKE FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF UPPER GREENWOOD LAKE. That said, Wawayanda State Park, located 3 miles north, offers ample swimming, boating, picnicking, paddle boarding & hiking. Additionally, Greenwood Lake, located 4 miles south, offers jet ski & boat rentals.

Minimum rental period all year round is 3 nights.

This 3 story home has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms--one with bathtub + one with shower only--living and dining room, breakfast nook as well as den and lakefront office, just in case you need to 'report in'.

The home has a centrally located fireplace, 2 Smart TVs, DVD, VHS, CD players and plenty of room for relaxed entertaining. The outside of the home is a scenic lakefront feast for the eyes. Large deck & smaller upper deck with amazing lake views, fire pit to prepare those mouthwatering s'mores, and walls full of books to read.

My home is rustic with lots of character, boasting cathedral, open-beam ceilings, fireplace, 3 bedrooms--1 Queen + 1 Double + Bunk Beds, plus an additional open Loft Queen bed, sitting/reading rooms, dining & living room.

The kitchen, while compact, is fully furnished with ample cookie sheets, pots, pans, cooking utensils, pottery flatware, wine goblets, spices and basic cooking ingredients. (Home does NOT have a dishwasher.)

Main floor deck features an outdoor table & chairs, Weber gas grill, Two Cabela's fully adjustable lounge chairs. Downstairs patio features expandable table, chairs, portable chairs for yard or dock as well as frisbee golf, and myriad other yard games.

Fabulous stay!
This is a great location and wonderful views of the lake both Inside and outside! We really nice sitting outside drinking morning coffee. Great dining table with views to play games or have a meal if the outside weather isn't cooperating. Where the house is located on the lake it is really quiet. While there is watercraft allowed on the lake, it is a skinny part of it, so the Water skiers etc. dont come into that area. The hose is really well stocked. both with things like Dishes and Basic cooking needs. Debra the host is really nice and very communicative. She really made us feel at home. Looking foward to staying here again at some point.

There’s plenty of room for everyone with multiple bedrooms located on different levels. Several different decks offer beautiful and relaxing lake views. Very quiet neighborhood with almost no traffic. Owner Debra was very communicative and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this home!

Roomy home with lake views
The house is in a beautiful location and there is ample space for everyone to relax. The home is very well equipped. It was nice to have some staples in the kitchen and my son was happy to finally play Monopoly. It is so nice to stay someplace with two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and nicely made up. We didn’t use the queen bed on the ground level, it was a little too damp/humid for our liking. There is a dehumidifier available. Debra let us know what to expect and provided good information about her home and the surrounding area. I agree with another review that window treatments in the main floor full sized bed room would be helpful. Great spot for enjoying the views, going for a nice drive or meal or zip lining at the adventure park.

What a wonderful trip!
Top to bottom, this was a fabulous five-night getaway with our friends from Chicago. Our host, Debra, was delightful! She sent recommendations for homemade ice cream spots, fresh pies (and hiking spots to burn them off 🙂). She sent videos explaining how to interact with the quirkier parts of the house, as well as a virtual tour of the myriad chairs, hammocks, and other goodies. When we had a question, she got right back to us, and was so charming! Although we never met, I felt we were very taken care of. I hope to meet her sometime to discuss the fantastic collection of books in her library! The house itself is lovely. Very homey and full of character. It has many nice places for sitting and chatting, great views of the lake, books galore, and plenty of ice! (Maybe that isn’t as flashy a selling point as the others, but it is greatly appreciated - you sure notice when it is missing!) Oh! And she has several mugs chilling in the freezer, ready for a nice cold root beer (or your libation of choice) - a lovely touch that shows the thoughtfulness and care that Debra puts into the house and her guests. The area was very nice. We ate at 100 Main in Warwick, a wonderful Italian restaurant that served tissue thin prosciutto and Burrata cream that was heavenly. I highly recommend the Lamb Ragù. We had a breakfast in West Milford at Pop’s Bagelry and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for everything, Debra. My wife and I are already looking for dates to come back!

Cozy home with beautiful views
My partner, friends, and I enjoyed a long weekend at this amazing lakefront home. The views of the lake from the different decks were stunning - the sunsets were gorgeous and on clear nights you can see thousands of stars! We loved all the decor, books, music, games, and amenities this place had to offer. We felt like we had everything we could ever want/need - the host has thought of and stocked everything. We enjoyed a nice dinner at one of the host's recommended spots, the Landmark Inn in Warwick. We had such a wonderful time and hope to rent this property again soon!

great get-away
I stayed at the lake for 3 days midweek, and absolutely loved it. The house and lake are beautiful, and the house is at the end of a dead-end road so it's quiet. Little touches like the chilled beer mug in the freezer, some food staples, and well-stocked kitchen were greatly appreciated. And the bed in the master bedroom is comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again, cons: lack of window shades/blinds, no dishwasher

Wonderful!
We booked this last minute and it saved our trip. Debra was a fantastic host, going above and beyond, so helpful- it rained a lot during our stay and not only did she tell me where we could buy rain gear but she actually called the store and had them hold some ponchos for me. She also left us fresh milk and eggs which was super helpful, and there were a lot of staples to help us cook, which I have not found to be true at many places. The view was lovely too. Everything was great!

lots of fun
we loved this house! location was perfect for us, and really felt all-included. from the firewood to towels, everything was ready for us. we even found a puzzle mat which helped us complete 3 puzzles during the weekend. have amazing view of the lake in very quiet neighborhood. (though it was too cold to get into. probably even better in the summer) the house is a little old, but i think this is part of the charm. Thank you Debra!

Charming knotty pine cabin with fab lake view
Debra was the best hostess! She was always available to via tex to help with restaurants and hiking recommendations. I loved her rustic wooden cabin with high ceilings, wood burning fireplace, huge deck overlooking the lake, walls of windows with great views, comfy bed, books galore and lots of cool living spaces. This home is very privately located down a sleepy road not like many of the homes that are right off the main road. I loved the privacy. Her home is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking and living including, spices, tin foil, zip locs, medicine cabinet things, laundry stuff etc. and super clean. It felt like I was staying in the cozy home of a good friend. If you are looking for an old world delightful experience in a quiet and private setting look no further!

Relaxing getaway!
This is the perfect weekend getaway from NYC. We didn’t get a chance to get out on the lake, but just being able to sit out on the deck and enjoy the view with a cup of coffee was all we needed. The house was equipped with everything you need and Debra was always quick to respond, extremely helpful with recommendations on places to eat and visit. She even has videos to help guide you through the house before you arrive. I would highly recommend this house.

Home away from home
This is a beautiful place. My family felt quite at home here. It was great to sit on the deck overlooking the lake and drink hot coffee in the mornings. The dining room has a table large enough for eight. Great for meals and playing cards and board games. We used the small table by the side deck to work on a jigsaw puzzle. The kids loved kayaking and swimming in the lake. We sat around the fire ring by the lake and roasted marshmallows one evening. Very comfortable beds. We all slept like rocks. A wonderful place for a vacation.

Lovely large house in a great location - would recommend it to anyone.
We selected this property as we knew after visiting & chasing around Washington DC & Manhattan that we would need to relax and catch our breath for awhile before heading onto Boston. The property exceeded all our expectations, it had all and more than we needed for our stay, we didn't need for anything whilst we holidayed there. The property is on three levels, the base level has a bedroom with shower & toilet, it also takes you out onto a grassed lawn with seats and a table, hammock, fire pit and a jetty for either sitting and soaking up the lovely views or for taking a refreshing cooling dip into the lake. The middle floor is the main living area, dinning area & kitchen but also has two further bedrooms and a balcony over looking the lake and garden, it also has a gas BBQ for outdoor eating. The top floor has another bedroom and a further balcony to sit on & relax overlooking the lake. The property also has a good selection of inflatables and two kayaks to enjoy and explore the lake, we did a couple of days of fishing but only managed to catch a couple of catfish & none of the famous wide mouth Bass the lake is known for but I think that was more down to our inexperience as fishermen! For groceries, Starrite (sp?)supermarket is just a short drive down into West Milford for all your needs and there is a bar nearby called the Old Pub which also does basic pub food. Warwick town is worth a visit (only 8 miles away) for it's historical buildings and feeling, but to be honest in the 6 days we stayed we didn't venture out much as we had all we needed to hand in the house/gardens. I would strongly recommend anyone this property and both Asta & Debbie where perfect hosts, thank you Debbie for sharing you're wonderful property for my wife & family.

Awesome place with everything you need for quiet weekend on the lake.
Debra's home was wonderful the located is great, a quick drive from the city. I stayed there with my extended family stayed there for 3 nights in August and had a blast. The kids loved walking to the dock and swimming out to the lake. There was plenty of room for everyone without us feeling the least bit cramped. The kayaks were lots fun for everyone We had everything we needed and the house was very clean too. We'll definitely look to come back next year its really a perfect place for our family vacation

A perfect retreat in a great location
We had an extended family vacation and this lake house was just what we needed. Our host provided all that was necessary to get us started for the week. The amenities, kayaks and just the peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing time. Sitting on the patio overlooking the lake was a refreshing break from the ordinary. We were not far from either NYC or Warwick NY, which made it easy for day trips. If you want a place to relax and enjoy nature, this is the place. We even had a list of local places, Suzie Tomatoes pizzeria, was excellent and a plethora of hiking trails at our disposal. I'd book again if in the area and would recommend to any of my friends headed to New Jersey.
