Private Lakehouse

About this property

The Private Lakehouse sits on five acres in Chichester, built around its own swimmable lake. Guests mention the lake most often, describing clear water, a floating swim dock, and a row boat used for exploring the shoreline. Herons, deer, and turtles show up often enough in reviews to count as a regular feature of the property, not a lucky sighting.

Mountain and lake views are the second most mentioned theme, with guests calling out the sightlines from the porches, the dining table, and the Adirondack chairs by the water. Cleanliness comes up nearly as often, with guests describing the house as spotless on arrival, from linens to cookware. Several reviews single out the kitchen, noting the professional-grade appliances and how well it handles cooking for a group.

The wood-burning fireplace is a recurring favorite, especially in cooler months, paired with a downstairs game room that has a pool table and board games. Quiet and privacy come up often too, with guests noting how secluded the property feels while still being a short drive from Phoenicia.

Host responsiveness is one of the most mentioned themes in the reviews, with guests describing clear instructions and quick answers to questions. The house sleeps 6 across three bedrooms, with a king suite and two queen rooms sharing a bath. Between the lake, the fireplace, and the game room, guests describe a stay built around staying put rather than running errands.
