About this property

Sunny house on Lake Oscawana

Lovely year round house on the shores of Lake Oscawana in Putnam County, just 1h 15m from NYC, and very close to Fahnestock State Park for stunning hikes. The views and tranquility are wonderful, and the house is very cosy.

4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, sauna, dock, lake front, 3 walls of windows, fully stocked kitchen (everything you could want pots and utensils-wise, plus spices and everything), big deck, and use of 2 paddleboards, 1 kayak, 1 canoe. It is a sunny delight, very quiet and beautiful.

Entering from street level, the dining room, living room, kitchen and deck are all accessible with no stairs. There is one King bedroom (en suite) and one Queen with another bathroom upstairs; downstairs there is a Queen and a family room with two Twins and two Trundles.

Wonderful stay.
Everything was great at this wonderful house. The setting is beautiful with great views of the lake from the living room(almost 180 degrees). Very comfortable and convenient. Instructions very comprehensive and helpful. We plan to be back to be able to share the pleasure with family members.

Loved our stay
Beautiful location right on a lake. A bit of a drive on windy back roads to most attractions, but the house made it totally worth it. Lots of extras, like sauna, fire pit, water toys…gabby was a wonderful host.

Gaby's House
It is a lovely comfortable home on Lake Oscawana. After three summers there we are beginning to think of it as 'our summer place' although, of course, it is Gaby's place, and she is a delight to deal with.

Return to NY for my nieces wedding
Upon arriving at Gaby’s beautiful lakeside home we were overwhelmed by the views of Oscawana Lake. The accommodations were superb with cozy beds , spacious living quarters, well appointed kitchen and interesting decor and collection of books. Gaby was very attentive and accommodating to our needs . I would highly recommend this home to large families who enjoy the beauty of upstate NY while being only one hour from NYC Thanks Gaby !!

Great, Relaxing house
This was a perfect place for us. There were 10 of us and we had plenty of space. The trundle beds under the the 2 twins made for a great bunk room for our 4 boys. We ate many of our meals on the beautiful back porch. We hiked on the AT, took the train into NYC several days, and went to a football game at West Point. Gabby was a great host and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this peaceful, relaxing home.

I'm a Brit who moved to the States in 1999 and never left, although I spend a fair amount of time in Europe still. I work in the media industry.

Why they chose this property

I've been coming to Lake Oscawana with friends for years, and was looking for a house up here for at least 5 years. They don't come up too often, so when I heard that Cayuga Road was for sale, I dropped everything and ran up to see it before it went on the market. I fell in love with it, and put in an offer immediately after seeing it.

The house has an incredibly good vibe, so says everyone who comes to stay. It is just a lovely, happy house. Apparently Babe Ruth used to get his hair cut in the front bedroom of the house, which in the 1920s was the barber's place.

What makes this property unique

The views are stunning: it looks across the water to a nature reserve. It's a lovely community, and Cold Spring, which is charming, is a mere 16 minutes away. Amazing hiking, access to the Hudson River, and fun on the lake: what's not to love? Oh, and the claw foot tub in the stone bathroom? That's my favourite room in the house! ;-)
