Lake House

About this property

Lake House sits on Lake Oscawana in Putnam Valley, with lake access guests reach by a path or private dock. The theme guests raise most, in two dozen reviews, is the water itself: kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing off the pier, and swimming right from the property. Several also mention a rowboat, a water trampoline, and pre strung fishing rods left ready to use.

The second most mentioned theme is the hosts. Guests across many stays describe them as responsive, quick to answer questions, and generous with local notes. Check in comes up repeatedly as easy and seamless.

Inside, reviewers call the house well equipped without feeling cluttered, with a kitchen several describe as fully stocked, down to baking supplies and serving dishes. The layout includes two separate living spaces, useful for groups who want to split off. A large dining area and family room face the lake, and a fireplace shows up as a favorite spot in cooler months.

Outside, the backyard is fenced and grass covered, with room for a trampoline, a fire pit, and games. Reviewers with children mention a stocked supply of toys, board games, and a game console keeping kids busy for full weeks. Sunset views over the water from the patio come up often, and a few reviewers note nearby hiking trails and towns for day trips.

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space for eight, the home works well for extended family gatherings or two families traveling together. Pets are allowed, and several guests traveled with dogs who were welcomed by friendly neighbors.
