Peaceful & Quiet Lakeside Home with Hot Tub, Pool Table, Fire Pit

We loved how stocked the kitchen was. Super appliances, great cookware, great knives, nice glassware, spices, foil, plastic wrap. We really didn't want for anything when it came to meal preparation and storage of leftovers.The hot-tub was one of our favorites we've ever been in. Perfect for the serene, lake setting. Brad's advice to keep the hot tub temp at 100 degrees was perfect! and it kept that temp even with the outside temp in the teens! We did not get overheated and could stay in it for a long time, just like he said!Plenty of firewood was provided, which is not always the case with STRs. Heating controls were obvious and easy.The view of the lake with the mountain backdrop was stunning everywhere, but particularly amazing from our bed in the primary bedroom.I was a semi-pro pool player so it's no fun for me to play on bad tables. This table was gorgeous and very playable for real players. Not a Simonez cloth but a very good cloth for one with a nap. High quality balls and responsive rails... and thankfully not abused by prior guests.I think my favorite thing about this house was that it seemed to be just the right amount of lived-in. without feeling like we were invading anyone's private space. Everything was labeled for the convenience of strangers, yet we still felt like it was a second home that was actually used by the hosts Thank you so much for sharing your home, Brad & Ann!

Excellent property for families to enjoy the lake and beautiful countryside.

Fantastic property. We will certainly return. Brad communicated very well and made everything easy.

This was our third stay at Brad’s beautiful property, and it is always a joy. We go for an annual ‘sister’s weekend.’ The house is so comfortable with many cozy spots to sit, chat and admire gorgeous Duchess lake. We especially like the Japanese soaking tub. The kitchen is wonderful, with everything you need for good cooking. This year we visited nearby Cold Spring for shopping and lunch, an easy drive through stunning woodland. Don’t forget to pick up delicious food and drink at DeCicco & Sons, in Brewster, just a short drive down Rte. 84. Perfect house. Perfect location. Perfect getaway!

Lovely home. Good cook’s kitchen. Everything was great

Loving the Lake!Another amazing experience at Lake Dutchess! The house and amenities were fantastic, and communication with the host was easy. My family and I cannot wait to return!

Our stay at this property was absolutely awesome! The house and grounds were exactly as described and offered everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We were so comfortable that we spent almost our entire five-day stay at the property, only leaving once for dinner. We had an incredible time enjoying the lake, taking out the watercraft, and catching tons of bass, catfish, and sunfish. The hot tub, life-size chess, musical instruments, and ping pong table provided endless entertainment. The house was spotless and the beds were extremely comfortable. Brad was also a fantastic host, always reachable and very responsive whenever we had a question. We would love to come back!

We had a great time. Wonderful house with amazing views and everything you could possibly want. Plenty to keep you busy inside and out! I can’t wait to go back!

We had a fab week at Brad’s house, never straying beyond Patterson because it was so relaxing just being at the house. Highlights were the dock, screened in porch, air con, how homely the place felt, watching fireflies in the evening and swimming/paddling/ja tacking on the lake which was the perfect temperature in July. One for the family memory bank.

Another amazing week, This was our third year at this property and we will be returning again next year. This is a beautiful home with many amenities and outstanding fishing along with a quiet and peaceful location perfect place to relax and unwind.Our family gives it 5 Stars !!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful location and property with tons of activities and amenities!

Another wonderful getaway at the lake. Everything was absolutely perfect!! My family can't wait to go back next year and continue to make memories.

This was another amazing week at this property with my family. There is so much to do or nothing at all, such a peaceful place to relax, fish, swim or so many other choices. Brad is a fantastic host and was always available if we needed anything or just had a question. You will not regret staying here it is picture perfect. We will be booking our next stay very soon which will be our 3rd year enjoying this beautiful lakefront home.

What an amazing experience my family and I had on the lake! Everything was wonderful!! We cannot wait to return next year.

My wife and I brought our family, college age, kids, out for the weekend of West Point graduation. This place was the perfect location! Everything we would need, a beautiful setting, and relatively not too far from campus (45 minute drive, but good luck finding a place like this close to campus unless you’ve booked more than a year prior). After all the festivities, it was a serene place to come back to and enjoy.
