Welcome to Jay’s Big Sky, an elegant, spacious, home on the water. This property is the perfect place to rest by the lakeshore, hang and play with family, and explore the chic little town of Narrowsburg, which is just 2 minutes away by car. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. For winter fun, those of you who like to ski, the house is only 17 miles from Ski Big Bear, Masthope Mountain, which is a great local family resort with 18 trails, 7 lifts and 3 Magic Carpet lifts.
With a large modern kitchen, dining for 10, and plentiful fireside seating, the main level offers expansive water views and a spacious gathering spot for family and friends. Also on this level are the three bedrooms and all three bathrooms.
The principal bedroom has water views from the king size bed, its own seating and work area, and a private bathroom. A glass slider gives direct access to the deck. The second bedroom, with a queen size bed, also enjoys a lake view. Across the hall, the third bedroom faces south towards the apple trees, and is perfect for bird watching.
Two additional bathrooms are on this floor; one with a shower/bathtub combo and a third which serves as a powder room for the common spaces.
Downstairs is a dream entertainment space. Whatever you would like to do to relax is available. Table tennis/ping pong, darts, a pool table, and exercise equipment, can all be enjoyed as well as a large screen television, tons of lounging options, and perhaps most importantly, plenty of spare space for little ones to run around and play during those times when they can’t be outdoors. There’s even a quiet room off to the side where a squishy sofa begs for a good book or a nap.
Outside, the lake takes center stage. At 27 acres but with less than 20 properties surrounding it, this quiet lake is a wildlife refuge, with plenty of eagles, falcons, fish and small furry creatures calling it home. A large lawn separates the deck from water's edge, and a shallow lead-in gives plenty of opportunity for safely cooling off in the water.
The deck itself has loungers and a dining table, and is adjoined by a lower-level patio, with more seating and a hammock. A nearby fire pit is there for evening enjoyment.
Narrowsburg offers boutiques, bars, restaurants and many summer festivals. Only two minutes away, it’s close enough for morning coffee, lazy lunches, and evening drinks. For the more adventurous, Narrowsburg is situated on the Delaware river, which is well known for tubing and the multitudes of wildlife.
This is the perfect Sullivan County spot for family reunions, friendly get togethers, or even quiet couples time by the water.
Guest will have access to the property in its entirety.

Notes for Guests staying in Spring and Summer:
Spring Upstate (namely April, May and early June) is a very beautiful time to visit. As well as lovely humans, our little lake also sees the yearly return of geese from their migration south, with this area their chosen breeding site. Watching the baby goslings grow and learn to fly and swim is truly magical, the poop they leave on the lawn and the lake’s edge, less so. Please just be aware that this is a possibility and we have little to no control over it. Thankfully, the spring rains take care of washing it away, but we want you to know that you may be sharing the lake with literal snow birds.
By summer, the birds have long gone. But the lake can sometimes have a new visitor, algae. We treat our immediate area organically with barley straw. The results vary year by year, with the temperature of the water playing a major part. Please use caution around the algae, and avoid touching it if you have any sensitivities.
