The Red Cottage was the best rental ever. Extremely well stocked with everything and the location was awesome. The canoe and kayaks were the best. Would definitely stay again.
Fresh cool breezes, placid lake, wild flowers, mountains - all enjoyed in a very pleasant home.
Nestled in one of many coves on Sleepy Hollow Lake sits the Red Cottage; a comfortable home whose VRBO descriptors are spot on! Quiet and safe, the cottage is an amazingly comfortable home and easily accommodated two families, and Hazel, the family dog. In over ten years of summer lake rentals, we have never encountered such a well stocked kitchen: sugars, flours, wine vinegars, oils, pasta and lots more. The kitchen has sufficient space for two cooks! The dock equipment was as described in the listing. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding every day. While we didn’t catch fish from the kayaks on the lake, my granddaughter caught two from the dock! (Remember to catch and release!) A private, clean beach is located minutes away, as well as are the pool areas, tennis courts, and a convenient dog park! The owners are very attentive to any concern you may have. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Red Cottage. Thank you, K and D, for sharing your delightful home with us.
We had a wonderful little getaway at the Red Cottage! Neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and private. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Even had spices and some condiments on hand. Beds were comfortable and ac units worked great. We enjoyed launching the kayaks, paddle board, and canoe, that come with the property, from the private dock each day of our visit and found a public dock/park that was only a short walk away for swimming. This was nice as we found the beach (10 min drive away ) was a bit crowded and didn’t allow pets. Plenty of deck seating, wonderful fire pit, and games galore made for a perfect family and friends getaway. Hosts were very flexible with check in and check out times and communicated excellently with us throughout our stay. Had a great time and definitely recommend.
We really enjoyed breakfasts on the deck, paddling on the lake, and bonfires at night! The house has boats, chairs, bugspray, candles, firewood, propane, and more! The ktichen is well-stocked with spices and olive oil. The tennis courts are ~1/2 mile away- bring rackets! The host was eager to address any concerts. Great trip!
We had an amazing time at this vacation rental home! The property was absolutely lovely – clean, well-organized, and beautifully decorated. The peaceful setting by the lake was truly magical, and we enjoyed watching the abundant wildlife right outside the large kitchen window. The owners were fantastic – they were always quick to respond to our questions and ensured we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The variety of water toys and games provided added a lot of fun to our time there, and we appreciated the cleverly stocked essentials that made our stay convenient. The neighborhood was a delight to explore, and the friendly atmosphere made us feel welcome. It was a pleasure to take walks around the area. Moreover, the proximity to numerous restaurants, especially dog-friendly ones, was a big plus for us and our Pup! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation home. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped, charming getaway. Thank you to the owners for creating such a wonderful experience for us!
We really enjoyed our stay! There was plenty to do on the property while also having great accessibility to activities like the beach, hiking, and shopping. The owners were very responsive but had everything you could think to keep us entertained and accommodated. Truly a great place to stay!
Great cabin on the lake with easy access to Athens and Hudson. Updated and AC in all of the rooms which was a huge benfit during our stay.
We came to the Red Cottage for spring break and were immediately greeted with a big bonus when we saw the basketball hoop! Inside, the house was lovely and the kitchen was well stocked. Our host was pleasant and communicative as well, and the binder was full of useful information. The lake was lovely albeit cold (it snowed while we were there!) and the location was great. There were so many beautiful trails nearby. We will definitely be returning!
We loved our stay here! The location is perfect–close enough to Athens and Hudson to get out and about, and right on the lake. The house itself was perfect for entertaining family. We loved the big kitchen, and the living room had enough seating for everyone. Darin was very communicative and helpful with check in and throughout our stay. We will definitely be back!
