About this property

The Barn at Copake Lake

Completely refurbished 1827 post and beam barn renovated in July 2012. This space features an Adirondack 'chic' style -- appointed with Mitchell Gold furniture, a custom built 6' round dining room table, vintage indoor fireplace (Dec 2013), double insulated windows, concrete counter tops and island/bar, stainless steel appliances and induction cooktop -- all surrounded by the original wood floors and walls making this 3,000 sq. ft. 3-bedroom/3-bathroom space feel spacious, yet cozy!

Offering views of Zeky's Pond across the street and just a short walk away from Copake Lake and the Copake Country Club, you won't run out of things to do. This is the perfect spot for a family vacation, golf trip, or simply a couples' getaway.

Please note: This house is located about 1/4 mile down the street from Copake Lake; it is not a lakefront property. However, The Barn renters DO have direct lake access via a privately owned lakeside deck that is accessible by foot, provided golf carts or car. There is no public beach at Copake Lake. Renters receive their own 15'x15' lakeside deck space (half of a 30'x15' deck that is shared with our other rental property).There are (2) docks attached to the deck that are used for Copake Lake Boat Rentals and Copake Country Club boat parking. These docks can be used by renters for swimming and fishing, but are not dedicated to renters; only the deck space is dedicated. Docks are in the water from mid-May until the end of September.

Weekend evenings cannot be booked singly. Fridays and Saturdays must be booked together as a minimum in the same weekend. Primary renter needs to be 21 years of age or older and MUST be an active guest for the period (cannot sign in for underage renters).

Stays during Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day are three days minimum (Friday to Monday) at the weekend rate. Additional days on the front or back end of the trip are permitted and will be charged at the standard weekday rate.

The Barn can be rented as a space to hold special events such as wedding ceremonies and small family reunions by working with The Greens at Copake Country Club for catering and decor coordination. Logistics such as parking, restrooms, rentals and noise require careful consideration at our unique property and therefore we cannot allow events of more than 20 people to be hosted at The Barn without the use of our event planning services. Additional fees may apply.

Pets are allowed on a case by case basis and depending on the animal breed and size. A pet fee of $50 (per pet) will be added to your stay.

The Barn is equipped with split type ductless air conditioners and baseboard heaters. Please be aware that on very hot or very cold days it may take some time to cool/heat the space. We do our best to turn the units on prior to your arrival, but it is a large, old house, so please be patient.

Please carefully read all cancellation policies. Credit applied to refunds is not applicable to holiday or peak season stays and credit use is at the discretion of the host. Risk of COVID-19 is taken by the guests and therefore does not alter our cancellation policies.

Great property near skiing
The Red Barn is a lot of fun to stay in. My kids love playing ping pong. It is close to Catamount and the restaurant at the golf course is good. One major problem: it is very cold in the barn. Two of the individual bedrooms have proper heating but one requires a space heater which I don’t like with my kids sleeping in there. The common space never went above 64 degrees even with the thermostats turned all the way up and the fire going. We would stay there again but two years in a row the heat was a problem.

Our stay at The Barn at Copake Lake
The barn is such a wonderful place to stay if you’re looking to spend quality time with a group of friends or family. Between ping pong, foosball, the fire pit, and large open space with the large dining table for games, and large barn doors that open up to the yard, there are endless way to enjoy and things to do just in the barn itself nevermind the Copake area. The layout is very unique and flows nicely for a balance between always feeling part of what’s going on in the home and having privacy if needed as well. I would 100% recommend the barn to anyone!

Good property for local skiing, fun for kids
The Barn was very clean, nicely renovated and fun experience for the kids. Ping pong table was a hit. Close to Catamount ski mountain and good restaurant 2 minutes away at Copake Lake Country Club.

Beautiful space for cozy get together
We enjoyed a wonderful few days at the Barn between Christmas and New Year's with my sister and our teens. The house is beautiful and so spacious. We played games, cooked, did a jigsaw and just relaxed. We especially enjoyed the fireplace and ample wood, walking by the lake, and a day exploring Hudson and the Olana estate. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is great for cooking together and hanging out. The only downside is the house was quite cold when we arrived (temps outside were in the teens) and it took a full day to warm up and be comfortable in the big main room. We couldn't figure out how to work wall mounted heat units -- it would be good to have instructions for those. In the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms the baseboards were fine, but the ones in the main room aren't enough to get that room warm when it's really cold outside. This is absolutely still a 5 star place, one of the nicest homes I've rented, and I would love to be here with a group in the summer when you can open the big barn doors to the outside.

Why they chose this property

Few properties offer the feel of an 1800s lofty barn with the amenities of a modern-day world. Spacious rooms, open-air barn doors, 1,000 sq. ft. deck, lush lawns and gardens, outdoor shower and fire pit give you a beautiful secluded space to unwind (no neighboring houses can be seen), while still convenient to so many activities and offerings. A true must-see!
