Wonderful vacation house!

This is a beautiful home, perfect for a large family group. Plenty of room and set up well. The games room, kayaks, and hot tub were in great shape. Fire pit and firewood for s'mores. Tons of outdoor seating. We had a great time. The downsides are that the lower floor bedrooms have a musty smell, and the lake is not good for swimming due to frequent boat traffic on the narrow lake and questionable water quality (heavy algae blooms). If a group had small children, they might want to know that this property does not have a sandy or protected wading/beach area and is not the best for little kids.

Nice week in NY for all ages

Went to this home for a week in August on a family vacation (ages 10-82.) Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, air conditioning, game room, and proximity to some lakeside lounging. Bedrooms were comfortable and we loved having personal bathrooms. The walk to the water is quite steep which was a little bit of a struggle for the grandparents in the group. The pictures do show an accurate trip down to the water. Not knowing the area, I underestimated the pitch from the water to the house and up to the street. The indoor stairs, and the stairs and ramp to the dock were also steep - fine for our younger guests, but be mindful for folks with mobility or balance limitations. We were a little bummed that the reservoir was pollen-covered and murky. We had been looking forward to swimming. However- we enjoyed using a paddle board and kayak. Great house and lake to bring a boat! Neighbors were enjoying pontoon boats and water skiing/wake boarding all week. (The hot tub was a fun swimming substitute!) Kitchen is well stocked with tools for basic cooking. Super convenient location to groceries, farm stands, a farmers market on Thursdays, and really great BBQ. We grilled and ate on the deck overlooking the lake. The large living room was perfect to pile onto the comfy couch to watch the Olympics and movies on rainy nights. Good communication up to and during our stay. Thanks!

Family Vacation

Property was clean and had everything we needed. Craig, the property manager, was very friendly and very responsive to our questions. Path to the house is very steep, so maybe challenging for older people. Cars can drive down the path, so that was great for unloading. One area of the dock may be challenging too, but with help, is fine. Water had some algae in it. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable week.

Family house in Mongaup Valley

The large house is exactly as decribed. Spacious and very well equipped kitchen allows many.people to work in it at once. Most of thr bathrooms have been remodeled and most of the beds very were comfortable. Sadly, the weather was terrible, with rain most of the time we were there. So the beckonimg lake wasnt used which was disappointing. We were thrre with adults and 2 young chidren ages 7 and 10. Due to the fact there were great arcade games they and the adults were kept occupied. House us perfect for 10 -12 people. We came with a lot of food which was useful as there arent too many restaurants in the area. The host was very responsive to all our needs.

This house and property is just perfect! We had plenty of space for 5 couples and each couple had privacy. The deck and hot tub were fantastic. We loved every part of staying here. Plenty of kayaks, games, comfortable places to hang out and be together or alone. Craig, the property manager was readily available and very nice. He made it easy in and out.

Outstanding!

If you need to take a break and just get away this house is the ultimate stay! We were 6 adults and 4 kids, not only was there room for everyone, but there was constant entertainment available! There was a game room complete with air hockey, basketball and the ultimate Pac-Man. The arrival of snow made for an even more relaxing retreat as we all sat in the hot tub with the snow falling around us. Craig the property manager was communicative, and insightful on what is local to the area! We happen to have also arrived during a snow storm, and by morning the area was salted and plowed. Could not have asked for a more home away from home experience. Highly recommend!

Warm house Pretty lake view

The house was well insulated during a very cold time. The rock steps leading down to the house were difficult for emptying and refilling our cars upon arrival and departure. There was rock salt provided to help with the ice and snow but a little daunting for the elderly and little ones. The view of the snow covered lake was beautiful and the bedrooms comfortable. The property manger was very responsive quickly bringing items requested. Thank you again ! Discovered the blender didn't work later in the weekend. The kitchen could use some more smaller glassware and some gadgets such as a peeler, spatula and a sharp knife. We did have fun being together, sharing Christmas, the game room, the fireplace and great meals. Due to weather we only used the hot tub once. Not really as clean as it could be but we did enjoy the lights and scenery.

Excellent Lakeside Retreat!

7 of us stayed at the House over Thanksgiving, and we had a great time! The house was clean and the kitchen had most things we needed to cook the dinner. The TV had access to the football and the games room was a great feature too. The Hot Tub was a hit on the cold evenings! The lake is beautiful and surroundings are so peaceful. Just for clarity, 1 double room upstairs has ensuite as well as the lower double and bunk bed room (4 bunks) downstairs. The other 2 upstairs Double Bedrooms share the separate bathroom. It all worked out in the end! Craig was great at communicating by text, and we were sent the Lodge Booklet before hand so we couple prepare. Thanks for having us!

Great, relaxing getaway for a Friendsgiving !

Our tight-knit group of college friends and significant others wanted to meet up at a central location (we extend from northern VT to central Maryland) for Friendsgiving 2022 and thought this lakefront spot would do the trick! We were soooo pleased with the house - clean, super spacious (we're at the age where we all want our own bedrooms :) ), a well-equipped kitchen for Friendsgiving cooking, and a wonderful outdoor space to bundle up and hang out together. Game room was a hit, and the hot tub was a treat after a couple of us did a cold water plunge in the lake! Even the living room was so cozy to curl up together in. By the second day we were scheming our next trip in warmer weather to this spot. HIGHLY recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Katie

We are the proud new owners of this great property. After staying 4 summers ago down the road we fell in love with Swinging Bridge Lake and all that it offers. We also own the house directly next door with another 7 bedrooms giving you the opportunity to have 12 lakefront bedrooms and enjoy both properties at once.

Why they chose this property

The Hudson Valley and foothills of the Catskills offer a wide variety of outdoor adventures, scenic vistas and culinary experiences.The Lakehouse is situated just minutes from the world renowned Bethel Woods concert venue, Monticello Raceway, mind body and spirit massage and yoga retreat center (ask about in home treatments) and has assembled a variety of activities within the confines of the property. Lake it is only a 90 min drive from NYC and an hours drive from Stewart International Airport, allowing you to be in another world with an easier pace and in a natural and relaxed setting in a matter of minutes..

What makes this property unique

Our house offers such a wide a variety of recreational experiences one could simply stay within the limits of the house, yard and lake to find the adventure of a lifetime. For those who care for motorized lake sports the far end of the lake abounds, for a quieter and slower pace one can enjoy the nearby dead end of the lake for a day of fishing and relaxing. There is also much to be seen in and around the region and always something to be left for the return trip to our lakefront paradise. Hudson river walkway, Mohonk Mountain Preserve, Minnewaska hiking trails and many other historic places are within an hours drive.
