About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Whimsical Lakefront Chalet

Multiple levels of large back decks and vaulted interiors invite you into this whimsical space, presented by StayBettr Vacation Rentals. You will feel like you are dining in the treetops on this ridge perched lakefront home. The decks includes table seating, sun loungers, and Adirondack chairs. The large fenced in backyard includes several fire pits and a hammock. Down the stairway to the dock you will find several kayaks available for your use as well.
Inside you will find an open concept main level with a delightful woodburning fireplace. The lofted office area offers dramatic views of the lake and backyard for when you need to work remotely. There are bedrooms on each of the three levels of the home, and two full bathrooms.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the house and outdoor areas including the dock. The driveway is gravel and has space for 3 cars. There are various locked owners closets and a storage building that guests should not attempt to access.
Support During Your Stay:

StayBettr Vacation Rentals manages this property remotely, but we have a local contact who can assist with any issues that may arise during your stay.

The Neighborhood:

Swinging Bridge Reservoir is the largest largest lake in the Sullivan Catskills, and one of the few that allows motor boats. You'll feel removed from the city, but still within 20 minutes of groceries and things to do. The neighborhood is a mix of seasonal homes and year round residents. A public boat launch is nearby, and just around the corner are two full services marinas--Starlight and Swinging Bridge Marinas.
Getting Around:
I recommend having car for your stay. Taxis are available, but ride sharing services are more sparse. Rental car services are available in Monticello. Shortline Coach Bus Service provides service between New York City and Monticello as well.

Otisville and Port Jervis Metro North Stations are each approximately 30 minutes drive from the house. The trip from NY Penn Station to Otisville is about 2 hours. Train access is great if you have members of your group who need to arrive/depart at different times.

Things To Know:

No more than 3 cars allowed.
This home is limited to 2 dogs. Dogs must be crated if you are away from the property, no exceptions.
The dock is not available from early November until the lake has thawed and levels stabilize in late spring.

Wonderful lake house
We loved the lake house and the location. It’s a big house with 3 stories, each story has a bedroom suite.. all necessities were there! Clean house, cozy! Kayaks were there for our use as well as lots of water toys.. what we lived the most is that it’s truly on the lake, with private access to the lake.. water is clean!!
