About this property

Peaceful & Quiet Lakeside Home with Hot Tub, Pool Table, Fire Pit

Located just 60 miles north of New York City in Holmes, New York, 89D is the perfect getaway spot for those who want a peaceful, quiet retreat away from the noise.

Soak in our hot tub, play pool on our 9-foot table, cook a gourmet meal in our fully stocked kitchen, or just relax on the screened-in porch, around the fire pit, or in front of the wood burning fireplace.

The house sits directly on the ever-changing and always beautiful Lake Dutchess. Lake activities in the warmer months include swimming, floating, fishing, kayaking, row boating and sunbathing. Winter activities include ice fishing, skating, snowshoeing and skiing. No motors are allowed on the lake, which keeps the water clean and makes the geese and swans the loudest noises you’re likely to hear.

PLEASE NOTE THAT QUIET HOURS ON LAKE DUTCHESS ARE FROM 9 PM TO 9 AM. Sound really carries over the water, so please respect our neighbors' serenity as they will respect yours.

Spectacular hiking trails are nearby in all directions, and cultural attractions, great food and entertainment abound in the numerous local Hudson Valley towns.

The top floor features the Master suite with a king size bed, ceiling fan, shower and spacious walk-in closet. Through the master bedroom is an additional sleeping area featuring sturdy full size bunk beds, perfect for adults or kids.

The main floor features two bedrooms, each with queen beds, ceiling fans and a separate full bathroom including a combined tub and shower. Around the wood-burning fireplace you’ll enjoy seating for at least seven on two long leather couches and a recliner. The 65-inch cable-connected TV doubles as a sound system, and includes Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO, STARZ, Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, and more.

Feel free to enjoy any of the numerous games in the living room, including Chess, Backgammon, Scrabble, Mahjong, Go, Giant Jenga, Mancala, Bananagrams, Farkel, Anomia, and many more. High speed WiFi is available throughout the property.

Nestled between the living room and the kitchen, the pool table overlooks the lake, and can be converted to a dining table that seats up to 12 people. The kitchen features a five-burner gas stove, two convection ovens, a three-rack dishwasher, and everything a gourmet chef might need. There’s a large pantry, four stools around the kitchen island, a foldaway high chair, a convenient half bathroom nearby, with an additional refrigerator in the attached two-car garage. There's also an electric smoker with a variety of wood chips.

Out the back door between the kitchen and pool table is a spacious wooden deck with a large gas grill and outdoor seating area. There’s also a large screened in porch with additional seating and a dining table under a ceiling fan—a perfect place to relax before or after your active day.

Downstairs you’ll find a ping pong table and exercise equipment including an elliptical machine, a weight bench, dumbbells, battle ropes, slam balls, kettle bells, exercise mats and more. There’s also a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer, and a half bathroom.

Step out of the back of the basement, and you’ll find an eight-foot square chess and checkers board next to the cedar hot tub. Nearby are several Adirondack chairs perfect for relaxing around the wood burning fire pit.

Please note, we do not rent to anyone under the age of 28, and have a 6 adult maximum. This is a peaceful lake community. PARTIES/LOUD GATHERINGS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Also—please plan on using our kayaks, paddle boards and row boat, rather than bringing your own. Outside watercraft are not permitted on Lake Dutchess in order to prevent contamination and/or invasive species from watercraft that have been in other bodies of water. Thank you for your understanding.

Our second Stay

This was another amazing week at this property with my family. There is so much to do or nothing at all, such a peaceful place to relax, fish, swim or so many other choices. Brad is a fantastic host and was always available if we needed anything or just had a question. You will not regret staying here it is picture perfect. We will be booking our next stay very soon which will be our 3rd year enjoying this beautiful lakefront home.

One of the best VRBO experiences

This was an amazing property. It had everything we could have wanted and more. Our only regret was not having enough time to enjoy all of the amenities. We only stayed one weekend for a nearby wedding, but this place could have easily kept us entertained for a whole week.

West Point Graduation

My wife and I brought our family, college age, kids, out for the weekend of West Point graduation. This place was the perfect location! Everything we would need, a beautiful setting, and relatively not too far from campus (45 minute drive, but good luck finding a place like this close to campus unless you’ve booked more than a year prior). After all the festivities, it was a serene place to come back to and enjoy.

The best house!

Look no further: This house has it all! From the beautiful views, a screened-in porch, and a Trex dock with an oversized umbrella to kayaks, a rowboat, a gym, ping pong, a pool table, a big-screen TV, musical instruments and even earplugs, the house is fully stocked. Everything was clean and the owner was very communicative. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect getaway!

From rowing on the sparkling lake, to swimming with dragonflies and waterlilies, with roasting marshmallows over an open fire in between, this was idyllic! Everything we needed was there: a rowing boat, kayaks, lifejackets, firewood, big TV with Netflix, hot tub and jacuzzi (& towels) ping-pong table, pool table (plus snooker balls!) WiFi, and all we wanted to enjoy our stay. The lifejackets were particularly welcome as we came with kids.

Best lake house in Duchess County!

This is our second year in a row, spending a long weekend at this beautiful property. The location is perfect, and it has all you could ask for in amenities. The lake is lovely and peaceful and there are so many places to lounge and take in the tranquillity and beauty of the views, particularly while enjoying the hot tub! The house has a fabulous kitchen, comfortable beds and wonderful, open plan living space. To top it all off, Brad is an excellent host. We will most definitely be back!

Wonderful lake house just a quick drive from NYC!

My husband and I and two friends stayed at Brad's house for a long weekend and absolutely loved it! The hot tub is great, the view of the lake is beautiful, and the kitchen was well-equipped for all our cooking needs. The primary bedroom suite where we stayed was lovely, and we all felt right at home on the comfortable couches in the beautiful big living room. All of the house info was right-on, and Brad was super accessible, flexible, and overall helped us have a great weekend. We were coming from NYC, so finding a place like this just a little over an hour's drive from the city was great. Would definitely recommend this house and hope to visit again!

Dreamy Combination

This house and view are a winning combination for us!! First, the view - when we travel our family (or at least the person picking accommodations -haha) prioritizes the view over just about anything else. We were drawn to this property primarily for that & it certainly did not disappoint! However, this house was so comfortable for us. Something fun for everyone - plenty of room and activities that we really enjoyed doing things together. PLUS, we unexpectedly ended up having great weather & so got to use the paddle board and kayaks. It made me so happy to be able to do that. Brad is a great host. He responded immediately with any questions we had & also was great with suggestions for local spots. Highly recommend this home to anyone.

A wonderful haven

Our family was looking for a refuge away from home (where we have been for the duration of the pandemic) but not too far from the New York suburbs. This house was all we hoped for and more. It was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all manner of conveniences and entertainments. Professional-grade pool table - check. Outdoor hot tub and indoor jacuzzi - yes. Full drum set, electronic music station, ping pong table, dart board, and ample exercise equipment in the basement - you bet. And the view of the Lake Duchess could not be beat. Brad was also completely responsive whenever we needed him. We hope to return to this wonderful haven soon.
