Just an hour and a half from New York's G.W. Bridge you will find a magical setting to refresh and rejuvenate you. Rustic elegance in a natural setting, the Boathouse offers exclusive privacy for a restorative getaway. Acres of wooded paths for hiking & canoeing on the lake ensures a serene experience. Escape to a completely private 300 acres and watch the sunset as you fish on the 100 acre lake. Beautifully decorated with Stickley furniture, the natural wood and craftsman touches beckon you to relax, read, canoe, kayak, or enjoy a crackling toasty fire in the wood stove. This property is unlike any other. It is perfect for the executive who wants to enjoy a country home, but doesn't want to own one... Perfect for the artist who wants to spend a week (or a month) writing the next great novel. Perfect for a warm family reunion, or for the couple who want to lie in a hammock by the stream and read for hours. Our lake is full of sunfish, largemouth bass, and crappies. Beaver, otters, eagles, Canadian geese, bear, quail, skunk, deer, swan, and great blue heron all make their homes in this unique environment. Occasionally we are visited by the loon, and that is a sound to remember forever. Come explore all the wonders of the Catskills!
