About this property

Escape to Lakefront Leisure—Hudson, Berkshires, Amazing Views!!!

Welcome to this beautiful lake-front home on Kinderhook Lake, NY.

Totally rebuilt in 2018, this home is designed to maximize the incredible view of the lake. Cool and sunny in the summer, and warm and cozy in the winter. Come and enjoy Lake Kinderhook!!

Located minutes off the NY Thruway and I-90, this property is convenient to the Berkshires, the Hudson River Valley, and several ski areas. Open floor plan, brand new kitchen flows into spacious living area. Huge windows highlight lake front view. Two large bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom on the first floor, plus a comfortable futon in a common area. Plenty of room for sleeping and relaxing. Two bathrooms, one with private entrance into the Master bedroom. Large lakeside yard with dock. If you have a boat/trailer, there is a grass/gravel boat launch immediately adjacent to the property. Reasonably quiet lake, some motor boat activity, but most is on the far side of the lake.

Summertime note: We love the lake, but so do bugs. All windows have screens, but please keep doors shut to prevent insects from entering. They actually camp out like little mercenaries waiting to ambush every time the door opens.

PLEASE VERIFY NUMBER OF GUESTS IN PARTY WHILE BOOKING— base rates are for parties of FOUR, any additional are $40/per person, per night up to a grand total maximum of SIX guests.

For your protection and ours, outdoor security cameras are present covering the entrances to the property. No interior security/monitoring devices exist inside the home.

Perfect Getaway!

We had such a great time at this house with our family. We were able to check in early and the place was clean and packed full of supplies for us to use during our stay such as plates, napkins, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, coffee, etc.! We brought fishing rods and fished off the dock. We also used the kayaks to go out on the lake and it was so much fun! Anytime we messaged Michael and Beverly they responded within minutes! We were able to check out late and it was the easiest check out I’ve ever experienced. We will definitely be back to this property!

The pictures don't do this place justice. The home is so cozy and the hosts were wonderful!!! I had a lot of questions and they were very responsive and incredibly helpful. The lake was so impressive and being able to take it in while warm and cozy felt so special. Loved little details such as all cabinets being labeled. Super helpful for a very fun stay. Looking forward to returning thank you!

Great stay

We had a wonderful visit to Kinderhook Lake. The house was very clean and comfortable with really nice seating inside and out with great views of the lake. Our family really enjoyed the 3 kayaks and swimming off the small dock. We also enjoyed chatting with our neighbors a bit. Thanks for a great visit!

Relaxing lakefront escape

Great property! Nice lake views in a comfortable home. Everything you would want to enjoy the water - kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles. Outdoor fire pit on the water is a relaxing spot to sit at any time. Beautiful and peaceful mornings sitting in Adirondack chairs on the water. Will stay again in the future!

Total Serenity

We stayed a couple of nights for my birthday. The view was breathtaking out of almost every window of the house. It's literally right on the water. The house was extremely clean and the contents of each cupboard was nicely labeled. The hosts were very helpful and made sure our stay was PERFECT! We will be staying here again soon.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

This house was such a great getaway for me and my family. We spent the mornings looking out at the late and the afternoons exploring Hudson and Chatham. We would love to come back in the summer so we can kayak. Michael was wonderful with communicating!

An Amazing Vacation

This was the second year my (adult) daughter and I vacationed here in the summer. We loved the place as much, maybe more, the second year. The location is marvelous- great views of the lake, quiet, peaceful, yet 6 minutes to Hannaford’s Supermarket, CVS, and other necessities. We loved shopping in all the little shops in nearby Chatham, and frequented Berry’s Farm Market for fresh fruit and vegetables (and many other good things). We liked that we were at the part of the lake where boats had to slow down and leave no wake. We swam and kayaked and spent many hours just sitting by the lake. Michael is a fantastic host, accessible and helpful. The house is well-supplied with the basics and my sweet daughter prepared excellent meals in the kitchen every evening. We were both working part of the time, and grateful for good wi-fi and places to work. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms easy to use (I have rheumatoid arthritis and was grateful for the walk-in shower.) Even the weather cooperated. We had a blessed two weeks. Thank you to Michael and his family. Brenda (and Shannon)

Beautiful lakefront home

The house was perfectly stocked with everything we could have needed. This was our first getaway since 2019 and we felt so grateful for the cleanliness of the home. Although we didn’t get an opportunity to use the kayaks, due to the weather, it was a perfect peaceful setting. Michael, a wonderful host, was quick to respond with any questions that came up. Loved seeing the beginning of the fall colors! Agree that the lake view is even prettier in person!

Peaceful gem on the lake

This house is very new and clean, stocked with everything you might need. It's a great open layout and really worked well for our group. The views of the lake from both floors are so beautiful! We enjoyed spending time out on the dock and sitting at the outdoor table. We were able to take out the kayaks and explore the lake, which was very calm, just a few fishing boats and other kayakers out. The location is terrific too, easy to get to the supermarket and town. We spent time down in Kinderhook, a quaint village and also going to farm markets and a vineyard nearby. Loved the whole weekend and we will be back to this house!

Loved staying here. Home was wonderful, can't think of anything it needed except maybe a big shelf in master bath for toiletries since bathroom serves 2 upstairs bedrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Well stocked, everything worked. Owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had and easy to work with. Lake view even prettier in person.

Wedding Weekend Stay

I had picked this VRBO originally with the thoughts of a beautiful location on quiet Kinderhook Lake. I am a local to the area and do have background knowledge of the lake and knew I would love to stay here for our wedding weekend. Our stay was nothing short of incredible. The convenience of the location to the surrounding towns (and wedding venues) is perfect. My bridal party and I got ready at this home the morning of the wedding. We took beautiful pictures indoors and outside by the water. The bedrooms were large and spacious. It had everything we needed for a great stay! I highly recommended this VRBO. The communication with Michael, the host, was wonderful and he was very informative. I would definitely stay here again!
