Overview
Surrounded by trees, lake and nature, all comforts and amenities are extended to visitors here. This is a private and safe setting. Heated and air-conditioned, there is a fireplace in the living room and bedroom. A large oval deck leads from the living room and looks out onto the water as does the bedroom's balcony. A row boat sits at the water's edge. This three level house has an all wood interior with wide pine plank floors throughout and vaulted ceilings. A sleeping loft acts as a second bedroom with window and skylight. The bathroom's sloped ceiling also includes a skylight over a claw-footed tub sunk in Mexican paving tiles. Original art and objects along with some turn of the century antiques add to the warmth and charm of this very original and unique home on the lake. Internet access and HD TV available. Beautiful in all seasons.
Through renting my house and having been introduced to the beauty of this lake and the many things it has to offer, there are now several additional property owners with homes of their own in Sleepy Hollow Lake.
While definitely away in the country, every convenience is nearby. It's a lovely, still fairly secret and uncomercial spot, nestled in the foothills of the Catskills.

Wonderful!

Perfect, just what we needed
We stayed over memorial weekend to get a break from the busy area we live in. The cabin was true to the pictures. I do not think any of the pictures capture the beauty well enough. To wake up to the view of the lake and the wilderness was nice. Lots of little wildlife like birds around. The cabin was a good size for the three of us. We loved the loft and high ceilings. We are also happy the cabin had a soft romantic look and feel with some antiques. It was simple and it was romantic. The location is great. There were tons of local stores to look for strange and vintage stuff about 20 minutes away. we liked the bar on the water near by. They have a live band playing most nights. Local beer is in town. We got to go hiking. I wish we were able to stay longer. Great hot water. Loved the sunken in tub and the Spanish tile around it. The bed is soft. The sliding glass doors are huge with screens to let air in and keep bugs out. We had a peaceful relaxing time. Just what we needed as a family. We are happy we found this place.
An excellent short trip from NYC on a wonderful Lake.
I will start by saying Donna was incredible at informing me of everything I needed to know as well as great spots to wine and dine in the surrounding areas. The cabin was beautiful, rustic and charming with the important modernization as well. Comfortable and quiet was the cabin throughout the day and night. We cooked dinner a few nights and spent another few nights exploring local restaurants in both Catskills and Hudson. It was the perfect distance from North New Jersey giving it the home away from home feel without having a difficult drive to and from. Thank you again Donna for the lovely and memorable experience both my fiancé and I had.
Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic stay at Donna's home. The cabin sits right on Sleepy Hollow Lake with fantastic views from the large windows. Spending time outside on the porch watching the sunset is a real treat.
Just perfect
We had a lovely stay at Donna's place. The energy felt great, and we felt right at home. Donna was always available to answer our questions. Thank you Donna
Great weekend getaway from Manhattan
Tastefully decorated, cozy little house. We stayed there for a weekend in December and loved it.
Romance and Relaxation!
Donna's place is perfect for a romantic getaway! The sunken bathtub is incredible! The fireplace that can be seen and felt in the living room as well as the bedroom was wonderful! The views of the lake are beautiful from the cozy couch inside as well as the sweet deck. It was too windy to use the row boat but looking forward to another stay and perhaps a second chance at a row! Donna was very easy to communicate with and responded swiftly to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend!
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
