Charming Cottage in Private Lake Community (Pet-Friendly!)

Tucked away in the private Sleepy Hollow Lake Community, White Bunny Cottage will quickly feel like your home away from home. Just a 20 minute drive to Hudson, 10 minutes from the quaint village of Athens, and under 45 minutes to Windham, Hunter, and Catamount. Dotted with friendly rural towns and panoramic scenery, the Northeast Catskills has no shortage of activities for all interests.

1200 Sq Ft. Ranch style cottage nestled on its very private and secluded half acre. Easy access to Sleepy Hollow Lake and the Hudson River Boat launch. A 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom house that can comfortably accommodate seven adults with 3 bedrooms; 2 queen beds, 1 twin bed, and a sleeper couch with a full bed. There are 2 full bathrooms and a laundry room.

The open floor concept is perfect for entertaining and relaxing alike. A fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and oven, dishwasher, refrigerator with a full freezer is perfect for cooking (or reheating leftovers!) along with plenty of cabinet space for snacks. The living room has a gas fireplace to relax with a good book or glass of wine! Walk out onto the outdoor deck with a patio table and propane grill. Relax by the fire pit surrounded by nature.

The home is equipped with high-speed internet, a large wall mounted smart TV, family board games and central heating/cooling controlled by a Nest thermostat. We want you to leave your stay relaxed, recharged, and ready to come back!

Guests will have access to the full house and yard, as well as all community amenities. There is a closet in the laundry room containing the hosts’ personal belongings, which will be locked.

Dogs are welcome for a non-refundable pet fee of $100. We ask that they do not spend time on the furniture or beds. Please note, the yard is NOT fenced in and surrounded by woods and brush which inhabit various wildlife, you will want to keep your pets on a leash. Kindly clean up after your pets with the provided poop baggies.

Wonderful getaway!
My family and I stayed at this property for a long weekend, surprising my daughter at college. The house was more “out of the way” than a few other places we have stayed, but we loved that about the location! Neighborhood was very quiet. The house had everything we needed and we loved the sitting around the fire pit one of the nights! Gabrielle was very helpful and great with communication, we were very happy with our stay and loved the house! Thank you again Gabrielle for sharing you house with us!!!!

The house and setting were great--very clean and a well stocked kitchen. The house was nicely appointed and welcoming. It might have been user error on my part, but I could not get the fireplace to work. Also, I suggest changing out the toilet seats--they don't fit the toilets and are unstable.

Super cute home perfect for a family getaway
We were only at the “bunny house”, but what a nice stay. They even had a couple of real bunnies great us the day we arrived! The place is well fully updated and well equipped. It is part of a lake community, and even though we didn’t take advantage of the lake itself, we did enjoying our morning walk to the lake. The surrounding area is remote (as expected) and is natural HRV beauty, local historical sites, and at least one winery we found just across the Hudson! Great hosts and a great stay.

Cozy, comfortable house
The White Bunny Cottage was so cute and comfortable for my friends and I! The kitchen was stocked really well with cooking items and we greatly appreciated the coffee, creamers, and sugar and the instant oatmeal packets! The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor space includes a back deck with furniture and a fire pit area with additional seating on the back lawn. The house was great, would definitely recommend!

Back to our old neighborhood
Owner should realize not everyone is young and hip. We are 70s and80s and had NO idea how to work lock. Should have been explained beforehand. Also I have lived in SHL for 17 years. They need signs. No electric no flush. The grinder won’t work and they will have a mess. House was nice. Just something’s owners should learn
