Practical Notes

Lake Access: The private lakefront parcel — with dock, cabana, swim mat, and kayaks — is just across the street from the house. It’s about a 20-step walk through a stone archway down to the water.
Road Crossing: Guests must cross a two-lane road to access the lake parcel. While not a highway, cars can move quickly, especially on weekends. Please use extra caution and closely supervise children and pets during crossings.
Mobility Considerations: The first-floor master suite with ensuite bath offers a step-free stay for guests with limited mobility.
The yard has a natural slope and stone steps leading to outdoor spaces and the lake area.
Safety & Convenience: Life vests, extra linens, cleaning supplies, and pet/kid gear provided
Location Highlights
*75 minutes from NYC**
* Close to dining, shopping, and entertainment in **New Milford**
* Ideal for weekend escapes or longer, relaxing getaways

About the host
Hosted by John & Elizabeth

My wife and I both grew up on Long Island and never imagined we’d be blessed with 12 children! As a big family, we’ve always needed spacious homes for our own getaways—places where everyone can relax, connect, and make memories together. That’s exactly the kind of experience we now love to offer our guests. Hosting comes naturally to us—we genuinely enjoy entertaining, creating welcoming spaces, and helping others enjoy time with the people who matter most.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and convenience. The home sits right on the water, with incredible views and stunning sunsets that make every evening feel like a retreat. It's a spacious property—ideal for families or groups—giving everyone room to relax and unwind. Plus, it's just minutes from amazing restaurants, local shops, and essentials, so you’re never far from great dining or anything you need. It truly combines peace, privacy, and accessibility in one amazing location.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly unique is the rare combination of expansive yard space and private waterfront access. Guests can enjoy a large outdoor area perfect for lawn games, family gatherings, or just relaxing under the sun. Across the quiet lake road, you'll find our private beach parcel with a charming cabana—ideal for lakeside lounging, swimming, kayaking, or soaking in the sunset. It’s a peaceful, private retreat that offers the space to spread out and the setting to fully unwind.
