Why Connie Guo & David Shaffer chose New York
Peaceful and Serene are the two words to describe the feelings once you enter the Chalet...We fell in love with it at first sight! It has beautiful countryside setting, water access, and enough interesting things to do in the area for exploration and entertaining. The house feels so airy and spacious that you'll also enjoy staying inside just doing nothing.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(23 traveller reviews)
Was Wonderful!
We had 9 people ranging from 10 years old to 74. Very comfortable and plenty of room. Having 3 full bathrooms was a plus; my father even used the jacuzzi! Beautiful views of the lake and plenty of room for all to enjoy dinner on the deck. We took two days trips to Manhattan (1 hr 20 min), Warwick, Walkill, and Connecticut. I highly recommended this rental as Connie and her husband are very accommodating! We enjoyed the canoes and outdoor fire pit. Very scenic drive and good restaurants close by. Connie includes a very accurate and specific information packet for local 'things-to-do'.
Fall Weekend Getaway!
We were a group of 11 adults staying at the chalet. Everyone had their own bedroom and were quite comfortable. The open floor layout was great for meals and lounging. Connie was a pleasure to deal with while planning the trip. She corresponds with you immediately and is very accommodating. She even touched base with us during our stay to make sure everything was okay. Unfortunately it poured rain most of our stay so we did not get to explore the lake or neighborhood like we had hoped to. But we spent an afternoon at the Millbrook Winery and had so much fun! We also enjoyed a wonderful meal at McGrath's Tavern in Pawling. On Sunday, we took a half hour ride to the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market, which was definitely worth the trip. We look forward to returning to the chalet for another getaway weekend!
Halloween Weekend Fun!
Great house! Connie was a great and attentive host. She texted about 2 hours after we had arrived to make sure everything was as expected. I went with 4 other couples (10 people) for a relaxing weekend and we were not disappointed. It was almost as if we were staying in a hotel with all the towels, beautifully decorated beds and rooms; the house exceeded the description in my opinion and it was so clean! The bathrooms blew me away, and the master bedroom had the best view of the lake every morning. Fully stocked kitchen, perfect for large groups who like to cook. Best weekend - we will definitely rent again!
Very Nice!
I had a large group of guys for a bachelor party. The rental was fantastic, the pictures do it no justice. Everyone was very happy with their stay and had a great time. Connie and David were great to work with.
Thanks again!

Love the lake house life!
We gathered a large group of friends together at the lake house and absolutely loved it! The house is big so everyone was able to have a bed. The kitchen, dining and living room are all large and open so everyone can gather for meals and to hang out. The deck is open right off the kitchen/dining room as well and there's a great side yard for lawn games with a fire pit. The rocky walk down to the lake could be tough for some but we didn't mind and having two canoes and fishing poles available for use was perfect. We'll definitely be back again!
Stay at the chalet!
We (5 couples and 2 singles in our late 20's) thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Chalet this summer. The property was easily accessible for our group, which traveled from Boston, NYC, Albany, and central Connecticut.
We utilized the two grills and fully-stocked kitchen, and ate each meal from the wrap-around deck that overlooks the lake. The first night, we were able to watch the meteor shower over the lake. The following night, we enjoyed an impressive lightning show from the huge window in the master bedroom. We also took full advantage of the canoes provided to us during our stay, and were able to enjoy a few relaxing hours out on Whaley Lake.
Overall, our group would highly recommend the Chalet for any group getaway. Connie was very helpful and accommodating, and the property more than suited our needs.
