SUMMARY
Welcome to Lago House. This contemporary home sleeps up to ten and has five bedrooms, including one master en-suite, three full and one-half bathrooms, all with a complete complement of linens. The kitchen comfortably accommodates the home chef with enough cooks tools, dinnerware, and flatware to service your family.

Lago House is comfortably decorated featuring a bluestone wood burning fireplace, multiple sofas, chairs, and a pine farmhouse dining table that seats ten adults. The media and game room features lake views, tv, books, and board games. The outdoor four-person hot tub is located on the lower deck, protected from the rain, and has lake views.

Lago House is situated on picturesque Titus Lake, a 90-acre freshwater lake in the Catskill Mountains. At 2,000 feet above sea level, the crisp mountain air is refreshing. The two-acre property is half wooded ensuring that feeling of escape. The bi-level deck affords wonderful views of the lake, outside dining, sunbathing, and a sheltered four-person hot tub. The 210 feet of frontage offers a beach, walkout lake access, and a dock to launch a boat (2-rowboats provided), or to take a dip. The fire pit is located close to the lake, perfect for a sunset bonfire or an evening marshmallow roast.

Local activities include horseback riding, hiking, fishing, golf, and a mountain top driving range. A movie theater and shopping mall are a 30-minute drive away. Shop for groceries locally, where farm stands abound or bring your own and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful stay.

Lago House is available for rent by the weekend, week, month, or season. It is a three-hour drive from New York City, three and one-half hours from Boston, and one hour from Albany. Treat yourself, your family, and friends to some time at the lake. Pets are considered. Inquiries via email are preferred.


Lago House Description Detail
Lago House is a 3,100 sq. ft. four-season home featuring five bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms. The master en-suite (one queen bed) is on the upper level and faces the lake. There are two additional bedrooms on the first floor (two twin beds in each). There is a full bathroom on this level as well as a half bathroom off the kitchen. It is an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms open to each other.

There is also a deck on this level with a view of the lake and a propane grill. The living room has a bluestone-faced fireplace (firewood provided) and a wall-mounted 42” flat panel television with a DVD player.

The house is set into a hill and the rear of the lower level is below grade. The other three sides are open to the yard. The front of the lower level faces the lakeside of the house and is open. It has another deck where you'll find our hot tub.

Inside you'll find another master bedroom (one queen bed), the fifth bedroom (two twin beds), and a full bathroom. The family room with the second 42” flat panel television and DVD player is on this level as well as our laundry room. Both TVs in the house have cable programming with HBO and Showtime. The network stations (ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC) are from New York City.

Local Weather
Given our mid-Catskill region location, we get the benefit of pretty mild temperatures during the summer months (80s during the day and high 60s / low 70s at night), which is why we do not have air conditioning. We do have multiple ceiling fans and plenty of windows.

During the winter months, we get great snowfall. The house is within a 1-hour drive to three premier Catskill Ski Resorts:
(i) Hunter Mountain
(ii) Windham Mountain
(iii) Plattekill Mountain

You simply won't find better value for the space and location!

Family get away

For a large family and two dogs in a love with the water this was a perfect location for us. The property was well cared for. Any issues the property manager was easily available. Lake was a little small for our taste but overall was able to get some sailing in on a sunfish and lots of paddle boarding and kayaks. Thanks to Troy for his hospitality

Home base to explore the region

We had a wonderful stay at Lago House. There was plenty of space to spread out and the teens enjoyed having their own hang out and sleeping space on the lower level while the adults shared the upper level. All of the amenities listed were accurate to the listings and the beds were comfortable! We enjoyed swimming, boating and traveling to Hobart Book Village, Cooperstown and the Catskill Rail Trail!

Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our needs. Our family had a blissful week of lake time, coffee on the deck overlooking the water, campfires in the evening, and time to relax in the hot tub. A trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame was an easy and pretty drive away. The house was exactly as described and was the perfect quiet and remote spot that we wanted. We would definitely recommend Lago House.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Lago House. Our grandkids had such a great time that they asked about coming back! Only one suggestion: The property slopes to the water in the back, and it would be helpful if the stone steps were evenly placed instead of uneven, we are in our 60's and fearful of stepping on them and falling in the uneven condition they are in. Other than that, Troy was a super host and very responsive. Thank you Troy!

Beautiful Family & Friends Getaway

The house was a perfect layout to host our multi-family getaway weekend. There was enough space and privacy for each family to have their own little section, including bathrooms! We all gathered in the common area and kitchen for games and meals. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake while playing a game of catch outside.

Perfect Summer Getaway

Our family had a great time at Lago house this summer! House is spacious enough for everyone, even allowing an uncle with health issues to have his own bedroom and bathroom suite which was great. House was very clean when we arrived, and was fully stocked with most of the things you would need to cook and serve a large group. The yard and lake are amazing. We floated all week on our standup paddle boards brought from home but did use one of the rowboats which worked out well for fishing. We all agreed we would come back and spend more time there in the future. Troy is great and even reached out to see how everything was going. Can't wait to get back up there!

One of our best vacations

This house exceeded all expectations! It is so spacious - the downstairs rec room with comfy couch, extra tv and ping pong table were a complete surprise to us! The adults and the kids had so much room to hang out and have fun. The kitchen is huge - lots of cooking and cocktail making happened here. Family game night around the extra large dining room table was my favorite. You can't beat the view and we can't wait to come back in summer and enjoy a thawed out lake - although we did have a lot of fun dancing on it while it was frozen solid. Thank you, Troy, for sharing your home with us! Check in/out information was so helpful and he definitely went above and beyond by providing packing tips and local recommendations.

Wonderful getaway for a big group

I booked the Lago House for a holiday trip with a group of 9 adults, and we were so impressed by the size of the house — we all felt like we had our own space while still having the chance to hang out in the two generously sized living rooms, and could share meals together at the huge dining table and open kitchen. Since we were there in the winter with snow on the ground, we didn't have as much of a chance to use the backyard, but it's huge and would be amazing in the summertime (same with the two deck levels). We did get a chance to use the hot tub on the lower deck, which was awesome. The lake is so quiet, and the area is removed enough to feel peaceful, while still being accessible to local amenities. We had an issue with heating in the living area of the house upon our arrival due to the recent deep freeze in New York, but Troy was extremely responsive and helpful, and had maintenance technicians sent out immediately to rectify the issue. He was kind enough to check in several times to ensure we were comfortable once the issue was fixed. This is a wonderful rental for a large group or family, and I'd definitely book it again if we return to the area in the future.

FUN & RELAXING!

The house was great! VERY clean, and lots of room for everyone to have space or gather together. The kitchen was VERY well stocked with pots/pans and other necessities. The access to the lake was perfect! We brought kayaks and used the rowboats, the boys enjoyed fishing. We spent a beautiful day in Cooperstown and visited the Baseball Hall of Fame (about 40 minutes away). The hot tub was great! We had AWESOME weather all week! The only thing I would recommend is to bring your own beach/soccer chairs if you want to sit by the fire pit. There are benches (which become a little uncomfortable after a while) and the two chairs that are there are not in great shape. We had a great time making smores, but I wish we had more comfortable seating. Troy is very responsive and my gang asked if we could go back (which is a HUGE compliment!). Great place to unwind and have a true vacation from everyday life!

Even Better the 2nd Time

This was our 2nd time staying at Troy's place and it was excellent yet again. If you're a fresh water angler, the fishing is really good. Large Mouth Bass and pickerel are hearty and abundant. We also came across a few Small Mouth Bass and yellow perch during our weekend. Bald Eagles and Osprey hovering around the lake everyday. The night time sky is quite a sight as well, especially if you're from an area with a lot of light pollution like we are. This is a nice change of scenery. I highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Relaxing Retreat

Our stay at Lago house was great. The property was much larger than expected. We loved the the open layout of the main floor where we could make meals in the kitchen while still being able to engage with the group in the large dining area. The kitchen had all the basics, we did bring our own spices, oils and a pan though. Anything we forgot we were able to pick up at the local supermarket, farm stand and Walgreens. Otherwise plenty of dishes and flatware for our large group. There are two large furnished decks where you can sit and enjoy the lake view. It was really beautiful seeing all the fall colors of the trees. Our large group of two families really loved the second living space downstairs that had a huge comfortable couch to lounge out on. There are washer dryer machines and all the detergents which were really convenient. The best part of the house is the backyard. It's huge and leads right up the the lake with a small dock. A quick exit of the house from either of the 2 decks or kitchen side door can lead you down some steps to the gorgeous lake. There is a fire pit with plenty of seating. We easily set up a bonfire with all the firewood that was stored in the barn. The kids played on the swing set and threw rocks in the water. There were two rowboats to use, perhaps if we stayed in the summer months we would use it. The bedrooms were made up of newer beds and pillows and soft sheets. There were plenty of towels and hot water for our large group. Overall a lovely property with plenty of space with gorgeous views. We were really able to feel so comfortable and relaxed in the Lago House. We hope to have the chance to visit again.

Very nice private and relaxing stay

The property was very nice, quiet, and relaxing. Row boat was utilized. We rented kayaks per owner's suggestion (great call). Fishing was a highlight. Very nice open, well maintained back yard leading up to the lake (see their pics) where we pitched tents. Owner is a strong texter, emailer.. easy check in/out with not a ton of pressure for rules. Firewood was provided in abundance (thanks very much!). 20 min drive to town with plenty of shops (big box retailers and small town businesses too). The downstairs was a little damp (being by the lake), and can trap odors (e.g. if previous tenants smoked). With no AC, it could hang on you, but nothing a few candles didn't solve :) All in all, had a really good time. We got to hang with our family + another family and our kids + dogs. Really a pleasure to have stayed at the Lago house. Thank you Troy for having us!

Fantastic Lake Escape!

What a wonderful place to escape to! The massive house and lot are perfect for a large family like ours. Our four boys never slowed down, enjoying all of the natural beauty of the lake, building a campfire and roasting marshmallows, heading out in the rowboat, playing wiffle ball in the backyard, and tossing the frisbee. The layout of the house allows for everyone to have space, while the large eat-in kitchen area encourages relaxed family meals. We played lots of board games in the evenings and spent our early mornings on the back deck, listening to the frogs and enjoying our coffee. The lake is quiet and clean. Troy was a perfect host and communicator. We are hoping to return again, next year!

About the host

Hosted by Troy Washington

Host profile image
We are a family of five and live and work in New York City. Our three children are in grade school and love spending time at Lago House. We use the house quite a bit and some of the blocked-out dates are times we will be using the house.

Our favorite activities are swimming and fishing on the lake (the kids love looking for worms and night-crawlers to use as bait), taking day trips to Cooperstown, NY and skiing at three area ski resorts (Plattekill, Hunter, and Windham). There are a number of nature trails nearby as well.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located on a two-acre lot that feels and looks like a park. Most of our lawn is flat and there is a gentle slope from the lawn into the lake. Having 210’ of walk-out lake access is very unique. The water is very shallow for a good 10’-12’ from shore, which is ideal if you are traveling with children. Additionally, the lake is private with no public access. There are just 10 homes on the lake and it feels very secluded. The surrounding area is rural and is mostly working farmland.

Spring brings the start of hiking season and great fishing. The summer months time spent on the lake are wonderful. Swimming, fishing and having a picnic lakeside during the day or bonfire in evening and watching the stars at night all make for very special memories. Day trips to go golfing, hiking, fly fishing in local streams and checking out the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, either before or after a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame are other ways to fill your time away.

During the Fall the “Leaf Peeping” is at a peak, it's just sweater weather and the fish are still biting, and, besides, you get to take advantage of all of the farm stands before they close! During the winter, snowfall transforms our property into a wonderland. The two-acre property is great for sleds and we try to take full advantage of our location and visit Plattekill, Windham or Hunter Mountain.
