Great Stay on Whaley Lake!

Had a great time here on Whaley Lake! The house is perfect for groups or families looking for a lake getaway. Everyone had enough space and the house had everything we could’ve needed. The beach and lake is just across the street and has everything you would need there as well. Would definitely recommend

Well-appointed Lake house

My extended family visited for a family event. We had plenty of room and enjoyed the open layout. The kitchen and the deck were great for meal times. We appreciated the upstairs room with the two twin beds for my young children.

Girls trip

Great place...pics made it seem like the beach was not across a street..it wasnt accessible for my friends with joint issues...would have liked an info sheet with clean up directions, garbage rules and password etc...possible local restaurant and food...easier than looking it up on the site.. Marie was very responsive to all my inquiries

Wonderful stay!!

Awesome weekend! Marie was wonderful! Great host, communicative, helpful, fair, and honest. The photos don't do the property justice - it's beautiful! The home was huge, very modern, spacious, plenty of beds, bedrooms, bathrooms, TVs, etc.. Cannot beat the location, right on the lake, full access to private beach, firepit, full (tiki) bar, bathroom, kayaks, etc. Would definitely go back!

Second stay as good as the first

We love Marie's house on the lake. It is spacious and clean. Marie goes above and beyond to make your stay fabulous even supplying us with extras like a crock pot. This is our second stay as the house is close to our daughter and is one of the few places which fits our entire family. Some of our family enjoyed the kayaks, and we made use of the convenient bike path nearby. Highly recommend.

Will definitely return!

Our family reunion was a great success at this wonderful home. As others have mentioned, the photos do not do justice to the house. It’s lovely, spacious, impeccably clean, and little kid friendly. There is a hot tub and an amazing semi-private beach. The kitchen was very well equipped for a rental property. We are already talking about trying to come back for a week next summer. Marie was so helpful, friendly, easygoing, and available. Thanks again, Marie!

Even better than expected!

The listing doesn’t do this property or its owners justice! Marie was just amazing! Kind. Fun. Unobtrusive. Accommodating. The house was perfect for our group of 8 and included so many nice extras, plus the kitchen is stocked with very nice cookware, serve ware, cutlery- it was a pleasure! The beach! The fire pit! The Tiki-bar! We loved it all. Thank you, Marie (and John). We’ll definitely be back! =)

Wonderful fall weekend escape!

The property was clean, comfortable, and equipped with all you will need. We had our 11 and 13 year old with us and we played cards, ping pong, and foosball. Very comfortable bedroom and bathroom space. A nice desk/office space if you need it. The deck was a beautiful spot ti hang out and relax.

Watch the Sunrise Over the Lake

This was the best VRBO we've ever stayed at. Marie was so welcoming and responded quickly to our questions. The house was impeccably clean and better than the pictures. The location is beautiful and we enjoyed the lake views very much. Best appointed kitchen we've ever had and we cooked a nice birthday dinner without any problems. Marie has thought of everything with several additional luxuries that we weren't expecting! Everyone enjoyed the ping pong table, too. Pawling is a lovely little town 10 minutes away. Don't miss McKinney and Doyle restaurant and bakery. We are hoping to come back when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the lake even more. There's also a beautiful paved hiking/biking trail nearby. Overall fantastic stay!

Terrific find!

Clean, as advertised, terrific find for our group that needed a good place at the last minute. Morning views created fabulous photo memories, quiet, and easy to navigate. Ping pong and foosball was a bonus. Thank you, Marie!
