Overview
Surrounded by trees, lake and nature with all comforts and amenities extended. This house is private and safe. Heated and air-conditioned, the living room and bedroom include a fireplace for added warmth. The large oval deck leads from the living room and looks out onto the large private lake as does the bedroom's own balcony. A row boat sits at the water's edge. This three level house has an all wood interior, wide pine plank floors throughout and vaulted ceilings. A sleeping loft includes a window and skylight. The bathroom's sloped ceiling also includes a skylight with claw-footed tub sunk in Mexican paving tiles. Original art and objects along with turn of the century antiques add to the charm of this original and unique home on the lake. Internet access and HD TV available. Beautiful in all seasons.
Through renting my house with guests being introduced to the surrounding beauty, several former renters are now property owners with homes in Sleepy Hollow Lake. Located in the old river town of Athens - little has changed in over two hundred years. One steps back in time driving through the village and finds things still lovely, still fairly secret, as it nestles in the foothills of the Catskills known as the Hudson Valley.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
About Donna Monroe
I decided to build this house while performing in a long running Broadway musical in NYC. It represents not only my ideas but those of other cast members and crew. I love being in it now as much as when it first went up. Truly it was a dream that came true.

Wonderful!

Beautiful house in the trees.
We had the most peaceful, restorative week here. From the moment you walk in you're hit with a breathtaking view thru the wall of windowed doors leading out to the deck. The pictures are accurate but really don't do it justice. It's a small house but amazingly well designed and maintained. It's so open and airy that you really do feel like you're in an extravagant treehouse. Everything you need is there. We did run out to Staples to get an RCA splitter cable so we could play music from our iPhones through the TV. Otherwise, bring CDs for the boom box, which has surprisingly good sound. Communicating with Donna was easy and helpful. We can't wait to come back. We'd love to do a few days in the winter time and try out that incredibly cool see-through fireplace that serves the main bedroom and the living room simultaneously. Thank you, Donna, for a wonderful week!
Peaceful rustic awesome location
I loved my stay here so much I can’t wait to book again. If you need a casual peaceful escape, on a lake, surrounded by trees and 15mins from Hudson- book. It was awesome.
Wintery cabin feels
The space Donna provides has a lot of character and a real homey feeling to it. The house was easy to navigate with its symmetrical design. The rooms are all quickly accessible and generously decorated with cabin aesthetic. Along with the homey feeling the rooms offer, the view and silence of nature insight of the balcony make you feel the freshness of the morning. Each room (the bathroom, the living room, the loft) were different experiences a part of the cabin time feel. Would love to go back when it's warmer. Would recommend to any cabin enthusiasts or couples.
Perfect weekend getaway!
Stayed with my husband and 2 year old daughter for the weekend. The view is beautiful I could have sat on the couch with the fire all weekend!
Great house perfect for a couple
Quiet, cute and perfect for a couple, Donna's house has everything you need for a great weekend on the lake.
Perfect lake house getaway
We had a wonderful stay here on Sleepy Hollow lake. The house was cozy and comfortable and the view can't be beat. It was a perfect weekend away for city folks.
Location
Minutes Away- hiking, horseback riding, beautiful river park for picnics, two riverfront restaurants with outside dining on the Hudson, drive-in and movie theaters, Hudson's many antique stores, historic houses (Thomas Cook House and Frederick Church's Olana offer tours daily)
Of special interest to children are the Howe Caverns - though these are more than minutes away. Albany, within 1/2 hour, offers theatre as does Stockbridge & Great Barrington; festivals abound throughout the summer - brochures in house.
30 minutes from 2 Major Ski Resort Areas, Hunter and Windham.
Other Activities: Basketball court, row-boating
