This was a really lovely house & location. It has an amazing view of the lake from the dining and living area. It was that we could look out at the lake while eating or just sitting on the back deck. The walk down to the water is a bit steep - but totally fine for us. I would definitely stay here again. The kids were able to swim / kayak every morning before we really started the day which was nice. We didn't really need to contact the owners for anything as the information they provided was very thorough and self-explanatory. We had 2 families staying (8 people total 4 adults & 4 kids) and there was plenty of room for everyone.

Great family time

Went to celebrate and enjoy the last days of summer with our two boys and had an amazing time. The house was everything we needed and more. It was clean and well maintained. Our boys had a blast jumping off the dock, canoeing, swimming, fishing and roasting marshmallows. We had a great family time. Would recommend.

Comfy, gorgeous, and highly useful Upper Greenwood Lake home

We were 3 and 4 people staying three weeks (!) with a dog, and we enjoyed our time at the house immensely. While we didn't float on the lake, we took advantage of the view constantly. Our old dog navigated the house, porch, and property without difficulty. The kitchen, AC, baths, showers, locks/entries, driveway, trash, etc. -- all was sensible and functional and easy to deal with. Friendly host communicated clearly and quickly, as needed. An ideal place to spend a large span of the summer.

Quick Getaway

We are selling our home and decided last minute it would be easier for us to leave to get out of our realtors way. David was SUPER accommodating with our last minute reservation! I’m also so grateful for his pet policy because it’s so hard to find a home which allows 2 dogs , let alone 1!! The house was beautiful and an unforgettable view! David was extremely helpful and responsive, thank you again!!

Time Together with a Lakeview ....

It doesn't get better than this! We went expecting to get together with family and left with more wonderful memories! We couldn't have done that without the organization and beautiful home offered by David and Charlie. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Every detail was well explained. The property grounds and the lake view were relaxing and beautiful. Our dog, who does get nervous, was right at home from the moment we arrived. David is fabulous! This truly is a special place!

Cutest home with the best host!

David’s house is a perfect lakehouse getaway! The house and lake itself are so picture perfect. He has everything you need- great grill and outdoor area, kitchen and living area, canoes/floats etc, surround sound speakers both inside and outside, and games. David also may be the best host I’ve rented from! He is so attentive/informative and quick to respond when needed, but also let us truly enjoy our stay. He provided so many recommendations that were super helpful . I can’t speak more highly of David or his home! The area itself also has a ton to offer, great restaurants, farms, wineries, boat rentals etc. It was hard to fit it all in! One thing to note of the area is it’s definitely good to have a rental car (Which David recommends). Taxis and Uber’s exist, but are more limited! Thank you again, David for letting us stay at your wonderful home. It was amazing little vacation and I’m hoping to plan my next visit hopefully in the fall!

The perfect lake getaway!

If you are looking for a relaxing lake vacation, look no further than David's home! We stayed for 6 nights and wish we could have stayed for 6 more. David goes above and beyond to make sure that you have a comfortable stay and I truly felt like we were staying at a good friend's home with all of the personal touches and extra care that David gave prior to our arrival. The home has absolutely everything that you need for a wonderful stay. The kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials for cooking. The rooms are large and comfortable. There are a ton of games, books and puzzles to choose from. And our dog was thrilled to see (and sniff!) all of the toys available for 4-legged friends! Without a doubt the best part of this home is the location!! Situated at the end of a dead-end road, and right on the water, this house has the perfect amount of privacy. We loved sitting on the dock all day and cooling off in our own private swimming cove. This is truly a special place and once you've visited, it's easy to see why it's such a beloved family home. Plus only an hour from the city? Can't beat that! We will definitely be back!!

We rented David's house for 10 days after moving out of our NJ house in preparation for a move to Georgia. The place was even better than advertised and offered a much-needed break during a very hectic time. My wife and I actually worked from the house for about half of the stay which worked well with her downstairs and me upstairs. The lake is lovely and pretty quiet, particularly during the week. Good space in the house for watching TV in the evenings, lots of board game options and I really appreciated the Sonos sound system. We cooked either inside or on the grill most nights but also made it out a few times (highly recommend Pop's Bagelry for good breakfast sandwiches). We visited the larger (and busier) Greenwood Lake and went out on friends' boat to one of dockside restaurants (really cool). Finally, if you have a dog, this place is great and David is very accommodating. We have a chocolate lab who had his first dock diving experience. I will definitely look to rent this place again when (if?) we're back in NJ in the coming years.

Incredible getaway, hosts

Really amazing property with lake access and wonderful views. House was fully stocked and had everything one could want, including but not limited to endless board games, a little library of books we took advantage of, a grill, and some goodies for the lake (kayaks, noodles, tubes, etc.). David was available to text for quick questions and was a great host - appreciate the hospitality and hope to be back!

Fabulous lake house retreat: home away from home!

Gorgeous property lakeside with absolutely every amenity you can think of to make you feel at home away from home. Property manager was incredibly welcoming and available for those little questions to make things run smoothly. As a dog owning family, we were SO happy to find a house we could rent that welcomed dogs. We were able to mess around on the lake in kayaks/floaties provided by the owner but we were also able to get out to Warwick close by which had a great selection of informal and formal restaurants for those nights when we didn't want to cook. We enjoyed horse back riding at a stable close by, a wonderful hike at Wawayanda State Park on our doorstep and ventured a little further afield to learn about Woodstock. We typically try a new place every time we vacation but this is truly a home and location we are very tempted to return to very soon!

Amazing host AND home

We were fortunate to land at such an amazing spot for three weeks. Overlooking Upper Greenwood Lake in the heat of summer was the perfect spot. Situated up a shaded hill, we enjoyed a fabulous breeze, along with a lovely view. The house is spacious, stocked to a T, and very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The lake front private dock had comfy chairs, a kayak and a canoe and a very fun tube. Ducks, geese, and the occasional heron kept us company. And David wins host of the year. He was responsive, even offered up suggestions to us without prodding. We were greeted with wine, chocolates and nuts. It was a prelude to a wonderful stay.

Upper Greenwood Lake Beauty

Our family rented this beautiful lake house on Upper Greenwood Lake in NJ. The house was so welcoming and it had plenty of room for our whole family. There were gorgeous lake views everywhere. We really enjoyed all the outdoor space this home has to offer; coffee on the deck off the master bedroom in the morning and family dinners on the very comfortable patio with lake views. It was great hanging out on the dock at the lake with 4 beautiful Adirondack chairs and umbrella for shade. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing in UGL as well. David was a wonderful host and he made sure we had everything we needed. What a gorgeous property!

Very nice mountain lake retreat

House was great. Our family of 5 loved it. Awesome views of the lake in quiet neighborhood. We felt right at home from the start. David is an excellent and detailed host and has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. We had a lot of fun skiing and even had some adventures on the frozen lake. Highly recommend this house. We hope to visit again soon!
