Summary:
Located in Middletown NY, Wawayanda Lodge is a recently renovated house that has the thoughtful charm to be your home away from home, but also includes many of the in-home amenities you might expect from a resort hotel. Some of New York State’s biggest attractions are right here in Orange County, including United States Military Academy at West Point, Storm King Art Center, Legoland New York, and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.
The Space:
The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Lounge on the leather sofas, switch on the Smart TV (where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account) for movie night or the big game, or enjoy one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen which has an expansive island and stools for gathering around and a dining room with enough seating for your group to dine together.
Sleeping Arrangements
Wawayanda Lodge has 5 traditional bedrooms and can sleep 10 guests. With 3 King Size Bedrooms, 1 Queen Size Bedroom and 1 bedroom with a bunk bed, you will find room for your entire group to spread out. All bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens and are thoughtfully decorated. Smart TVs are in bedrooms as well where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account. The entire house has central air so you can keep it to your groups preferred temperature.
The Kitchen
The Kitchen is equipped with all new appliances and finishes as well as cooking utensils, pots and pans, and basically all the tools you need to make morning pancakes, spaghetti Bolognese dinner, and everything in between. (Groceries not provided.) For morning coffee, there is a coffee machine, please feel free to bring along your favourite roast. You will find all the dish ware, serve ware, and drink ware you need for such a large group to dine, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a dishwasher too.
Bathrooms
There are 4 bathrooms at Wawayanda Lodge. Two of which are full bathrooms and have spacious shower with rain shower head and are stocked with toiletries, a hair dryer in each, and super plush towels. The third and fourth bathrooms (half bathrooms) are not full bathrooms, they only have a toilet and a sink inside to use.
Outdoors
If BBQ-ing is your thing, we have you covered with a propane grill. An extra tank is provided in case the one there runs low and needs to be swapped out.
For the kiddos (and parents)
As parents ourselves, we understand the fun and challenges that come with travelling with kids. We’ve stocked our home with creature comforts to make your stay with smaller guests more enjoyable.

Our home has a pack and play, a baby Björn bouncer, wipe-able changing table, and a skip hop activity center. We have a handful of wood toys and books for your kiddo’s enjoyment. In the kitchen drawers, you'll find outlet covers should you need them for your stay.

FRIENDS OF MOTHER NATURE
Please note that we are located in the countryside, surrounded by trees and foliage. Although we have regularly scheduled pest control services in and around the home and yard, you are still likely to see a few insects or other living beings from Mother Nature. We ask that you do your best to keep outside doors closed as much as possible to limit the amount of outdoor creatures from sneaking in.
PETS
We love dogs and allow them in our houses, but please let us know if your are bringing your furry friend(s) along.

NO REFUNDS OR RENT REDUCTIONS WILL BE MADE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS, INTERRUPTIONS OF UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS OR CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. WHILE LINA WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPAIR ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED DURING A GUEST STAY, AS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOME WARRANTIES.
