Fully stocked kitchen, beautiful and modern furniture, lovely gas fireplace, very clean, and very comfortable beds! We absolutely loved our stay and did not want to leave. We were surprised to discover a fourth bedroom!
Great house. Very nice spot on the lake. County road behind the house gets pretty busy and noisy—loud exhaust pipes must be a thing in Dutchess County. Really nice owners and not too far from NYC.
Great kitchen and very well equipped. The house was super comfortable for our group. We enjoyed the chairs on the dock but it was too cold for kayaks. They would have been fun on a warmer weekend though!
This house was wonderful. It was clean and well stocked with almost anything you would need. The setting was spectacular - beautiful, peaceful location on a nice quiet lake. Our host Rebecca was easy to contact when necessary. We would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a getaway with family or friends.
Such a great house. So clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our in laws were able to come over and we cooked out and everyone had a place to sit. We enjoyed coffee by the water in the AM and the house had a pretty view. The supplies provided were so great as it kept us from having to buy EVERYTHING as we flew here from Atlanta. .
We were looking forward to staying and the property and surroundings did not disappoint. Very well equipped, very clean and comfortable.
Highly recommend!
Fantastic property with incredible scenic views on the lake!
Beautiful, incredible and amazing are just a few words to describe this property! The beds were comfortable, the place was super clean and the location was superb. My family and i had such a wonderful time and hope to visit this property again real soon.

We absolutely loved our stay in this home. We stayed for two weeks in mid-October and it was amazing. The property was extremely clean and well kept. The kitchen and bathrooms had all the amenities we needed, and there was so much to explore nearby. We hope to stay again. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway near NYC
Beautiful stay on Lake Dutchess. House was completely renovated and included all the basics for cooking and relaxing. Spent a lot of time fishing from the private dock, playing board games and enjoying the serenity.
We’ve come here several times and enjoyed our stay each time, particularly our 2 young kids. The home is exactly as advertised in the pictures and description. Rebecca is very thoughtful and responsive. Kids had a great time playing by the private dock and kayaking and are already clamoring to come back.
House was just as described. Clean and well stocked. Amazing views of the lake.
Kids loved kayaking and fishing.
A Fire pit would be an awesome addition for this beautiful house ;)
Stayed here when it was cold and rainy but had good internet and plenty of games for the kiddies. Absolutely love the dock and there are kayaks provided which we didn't use since it was cold. My kids are young and caught two large mouth bass on kiddie poles the first day.
We were looking for a peaceful family getaway from NYC. Everything was exactly as advertised in the pictures and description. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We have very young kids and they had a great time. They especially enjoyed the swings. Quiet and serene lake environment which was exactly what we were looking for. Very much enjoyed our visit.
The house was clean and well supplied with everything needed for a comfortable stay.
If I was going to make a constructive criticism I would say that the living room needs a larger tv.

Thanks Bob! We will take your feedback and consider adding a larger tv when possible.
My girlfriends and I really enjoyed our weekend at the lake house! The house was newly updated and furnished beautifully. The home was clean, organized and had everything we could have wanted. A nice quiet spot on the lake to relax and enjoy nature- we enjoyed watching the swans and geese! Rebecca and very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to go back!
We had a wonderful stay at Rebecca's Lake house. The place was spotless and the attention to detail was remarkable.. The beds were comfortable and the furniture was perfect.. Lake house is well equipped and everything was new..Communication with the owner was also very efficient and timely. The View of the lake and how comfortable we felt here is something we will miss.. This place exceeded our expectations and was even better than the pictures!! We highly recommend it!
The house is in a perfect location on the water and very quiet. The owners didn’t miss anything in preparing their home for guests. Very clean, great kitchen with lots of dishes, glasses, kitchen utensils, keurig coffee maker plenty of supplies.. Beds are very comfortable with lovely linens and bathrooms have plenty of towels. Lots of comfortable seating inside and out.
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
