Tucked in the Catskill Mountains, under 2 hrs from NYC & just 10 minutes from the Delaware River. 22 acres surrounded by forests & a picturesque 200 acre lake.
Access to the house is very easy from a plowed 2 lane main road via a short flat graded gravel driveway right to the front door.

Personal chef services, yoga class instruction, and massage therapy can also be arranged for additional fees. For more on this and other local attractions, please inquire and we will be happy to provide detailed information. Deliveries of farm-sourced, organic, and all other produce and groceries can be arranged.
The best way to reach me is via text or email. If it is an emergency please text and call more than once no matter the time.
Less than 30 minutes from the lake you have; the Catskill Distilling Company, Kartrite Indoor Water Park, Horseback riding at Rolling Stone Ranch, the Resort World Catskill Casino, and the Monticello Raceway & Casino. Within 10 minutes you have river rafting through Kittatinny Canoes and Indian Head Canoes. Just 20 minutes to Port Jervis with access to Metro North trains and fine dining. 25 minutes to Milford, PA and Monticello, NY, and Pecks supermarket is just a 2 minute drive down the road. Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets and Mountain Creek Ski Resort & Water Park are just over an hour. Camelback Ski Resort is just an 80 minute drive, and Windham, Hunter or Bellare are all less than 2 hours away. Big Bear Ski Resort is less than 30 minutes.

20 minutes away is Bethel Woods, the home to the original Woodstock. It's has great concerts, events, and the Woodstock Museum. Across the street is the Catskills Distillery, and White lake isn't far where you can find great restaurants on the water.

25 minutes away is Narrowsburg, a very charming historic town perched high on the cliffs overlooking the Delaware River. It has adorable antique and trendy shops, art galleries, and delicious alfresco dining along the banks of the river. The Heron and Gerard's are both great. Nearby you can find Skinner’s Falls, where you can swim, canoe, go inner tubing, or just sun on the rocks.
Upon renting the Waterfront Cottage, guests will enjoy exclusive access to a range of amenities. The private hot tub, veranda, and fire pit are available for their personal use. Additionally, they will have access to a private, sun-filled, and temperature-controlled Recreation Center located just a short distance from the waterfront cottage. The center features mat flooring, perfect for yoga or invigorating workouts. Inside, guests will find various entertainment options, including ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard, a pool table, pop-a-shot, a TV area with a couch, free weights, yoga mats, and an extra fridge. The house also offers board games such as chess and monopoly for indoor amusement.

The charming home is nestled on 22 acres of land, which includes a shared beach and dock equipped with floating picnic tables, providing direct access to the lake. For aquatic adventures, guests can make use of a row boat for fishing, a one-person kayak, a two-person kayak, two kids' kayaks, two canoes, and two paddle boards, all of which are included with the rental. Additionally, the property boasts various lawn games, including volleyball/badminton, frisbee golf, a golf range net, soccer nets, bocce ball, spike ball, and more.

Nature enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the stunning lakefront environment and explore the vast surroundings. They can traverse the shared bridge and meander through the boulder gardens, taking in breathtaking views of the grassy fields inhabited by deer and the serene waters. A shared creek runs through the heart of the property, providing opportunities for tubing, hiking to peaceful spots for meditation, or simply enjoying the calming sounds of the flowing water.

It's important to note that the beach, creek, and hiking trails are exclusively shared by guests staying at the Highland Lake Estate. While there are two other properties on the Estate that may potentially share the 22 acres during one's stay, most of the time, guests will have these amenities all to themselves. If anyone desires more privacy or requires additional clarifications, they can contact the management for further details.
The homey living room and open kitchen easily allows for everyone to spend time together. The detached rec. center has plenty of room for yoga, working out, or gaming when you need the extra space. The view of the lake from the veranda is the perfect backdrop to read a book or get some work done. While there, enjoy the warm fire pit with a comfy blanket on the couch. There's also a wood burning fire pit with plenty of Adirondack chairs to go around. Two of the bedrooms have a laptop-friendly workspace with the fastest Wi-Fi you can get. All the rooms have Roku or Amazon Fire TVs where you can connect to your Netflix, Prime, Apple ID, HBOMax, Hulu, etc. See the floor plan for a better sense of the size and layout of the rooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything from pots, pans, oils, and spices to coffee and tea. There's two fresh drinking water spouts and an electric kettle for instant coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.

This lakefront cottage was decorated, with thoughtful details for a luxurious yet charming feel. Featuring all the cooking essentials, clean and comfy furniture, beds and a stunningly unique multi-jet shower for two- in the marble bathroom with heated floors and washlet toilet. If this wasn't enough, you are sure to find your peace while soaking in the outdoor hot tub, or watching the rain from the covered veranda. This cottage does not pretend to be a castle, it is a very thoughtful and cozy 1500sf cottage- sitting on an incredible 22 acre getaway.
The best way to get here is by car. 2 minutes from the house you'll find Peck's Market for all your grocery essentials. If you have a mountain bike with you, you can use it throughout the 22 acre property. There's also tons of awesome bike and hike paths near by that can easily be found on the app, AllTrails. Road bikes are also amazing to have so you can ride over to Hawks Nest to watch the Eagles, or just go for a quiet ride around the lake. If you prefer public transportation, you are just 20 minutes to Port Jervis with access to Metro North trains.

Thoughtful accommodations
We were impressed by how clean this property was. We also really enjoyed all of the thoughtful accoutrements provided. There were shower caps, shampoo, soap, body wash. These are things not usually provided when you rent a house. This reminded us of a nice hotel. Furthermore, the kitchen was fully stocked and the rec center had everything you would need to play outside or hang out by the lake. Jason was an awesome host. My kids are already asking to go back in the summer.

This house is beautiful and comfortable in every way. They’ve thought of everything
This is, hands down, the most beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed home we’ve ever found for a weekend rental. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything. The check-in process was so seamless. Communication clear and easy. House was immaculate. So many little details that are just perfect. The listing was 100% accurate and we feel like the house delivered even more than advertised. But even outside the house, the grounds are amazing. All of the surrounding area is as well. Quiet and peaceful and serene. I cannot recommend this home and its hosts highly enough. Wish I could give even more stars!

We had an amazing family vacation here! There’s absolutely everything you need from paddle boards to fishing boats to a great lawn where you can play all sorts of games.

Amazing weekend!
There’s not enough good things I can say about this house and property! My husband, family and I, as well as all of 4 of our dogs had an absolute blast! The instructions for checking in and all other house instructions were more than reasonable and easy to understand! The property and rec area was an amazing bonus to an already phenomenal place! My family and I are soo looking forward to visiting again during the summer! The only thing we wished was present was a dog run of sorts and keeping 4 pups in check was chaotic but not unmanageable! We can’t wait to go back!

PERFECT GETAWAY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Planned a small family getaway for my Husband’s 56th Birthday. Jason, the host made us feel very welcomed. After a long drive it was nice to see a basket of snacks awaiting us. The house itself was very warm and inviting. Our host definitely pays attention to the details. There was plenty of well-stocked items in the home and everything was in working order…..and labeled. YAY! That helped me so much. Although we got caught in an arctic freeze that we didn’t expect, the house was warm and we laughed so hard playing the board games (That’s What She Said) and (Table Talk). Being able to celebrate the birthday in the Recreation room was cool. We played Darts, basketball, ping pong and more . Thank you Jason for taking the time to swing by to sing happy birthday and take some photos. Did I mention how great it was to finally be able to bring the dogs with us. They too had a great time. Looking forward to coming back in the warmer weather. “ALEXA, TAKE ME BACK TO THE LAKEHOUSE” ❤️ The Firriolo Family Rose , Joe, Robert, Gabby, Devin and out fur babies Arya and Buddy💙

AMAZING SERENE GETAWAY
There are not enough great things that we can say about this property! We were for a long weekend for my fiancé’s birthday. The organization, and check in process was awesome. Jason was incredibly responsive and was also kind enough to provide some birthday balloons for my fiancé, even though it was a last minute request. This is the perfect getaway for a family or a couple. The house literally has everything you need. There’s so much to do on the property itself. We went hiking, we enjoyed the game room, and our absolute favorite was kayaking. Our puppy loved it too. She was so fascinated by the deer and the puppy station station made the clean up during our walks so simple. We highly recommend this property, we are already planning our next stay! Thanks so much for everything Jason! * we also definitely recommend waking up early to watch the sunrise on the dock, it was a picture perfect!

Nice cottage on a beautiful piece of property. If you like nature this is a great spot as you could do lawn sports with huge grassland, hang in the lake or by the little beach and even do a little hiking in the woods on the property. Owner Jason very nice and responsive.

We had a wonderful memorial day weekend here! Unfortunately the cold rainy weather thwarted our plans to enjoy the outdoors and lake but luckily the house and detached rec center was filled with games and activities to keep us occupied! Jason was a great host very quick to respond to anything and provided so much information on the area it made planning really easy. His house was also extremely well stocked and organized which meant we had everything we needed and could find it quickly. Wojld definitely stay here again!

A Sweet Time Away
What a lovely time we had at this charming lake home. It was a perfect place for a short getaway, and Jason made sure to make it memorable and smooth. The house is immaculate and cozy, and the property is private, but offers much to do. From a play/ game room, an outdoor deck with multiple fire pits, to kayaks by your own dock— both children (young and teens) and adults had a lot of fun. For those also looking for a quiet time away, this is perfect. Furthermore, it was causally mentioned that we would be celebrating a birthday during our stay and Jason welcomed us with birthday signs at the door and birthday treats upon arrival (laid out so nicely as soon as we entered). Simply put, it’s all in the details. So thoughtful and kind! One adjustment we did have to get used to, though, was not being to flush anything down the toilets due to older plumbing. However it was minor compared to the classic beauty of the home and the relaxing time we all had. Thank you, Jason! Looking forward to visiting again.
