Wonderful lake vacation!

This was the perfect getaway for my family vacation. The kids loved stepping right outside to the lake and all the games in the house, and the adults enjoyed relaxing on the deck and by the lakeside firepit. Daniela was very responsive and gave us great tips for local things happening. We are already talking about our stay next year and can't wait to go back!

Perfect place to stay with kids

Our family loved this location and it was the perfect place to stay with kids. The house was on a lake and there were many outdoor activity options (boating, swimming, etc.). The house was clean and spacious. The owner was very responsive and provided excellent communication throughout our stay. Overall, we had an amazing experience and could not have asked for anything more. We would highly recommend it!

Fun week at Yankee Lake

Went with my wife and young kids and we had so much fun at the house. We swam and splashed around in the lake everyday. Took out the row boat and went fishing (caught a bunch of Pickerel and Crappie). Smores on the fire every night. The house was just as advertised. We also had a great time hiking to the waterfalls at the nearby Neversink Gorge Trails.

A great family getaway

The home was beautiful and clean. It had many sleeping areas which was perfect of our family with kids, teens, parents and grandparents. We kayaked, rowed, floated and fished on the lake. S’mores by the fire pit at the lake was a big hit by all. It was one of the most relaxing vacations in a long time with the serenity of the lake and private surroundings. The property owner was very responsive to any questions before, during and after the stay. I would absolutely go again and highly recommend to others!

Quiet lake front vacation

We enjoyed our time at Yankee Lake. The house is positioned at the end of the road so it’s secluded. As the host mentions, water shoes are helpful as the shoreline and lake entry are rocks. We saw several water snakes, especially in the evening, so that cut down on our swim time. But the lake is lovely and we caught lots of fish. We used the rowboat and the kayak. The amenities in the kitchen were useful and we had everything we needed including outdoor (bikes, corn hole, fire pit) and indoor (connect 4, fusball table) activities. Our host was helpful when we had questions and responded quickly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
