The house is perfect for 2-3 families. The location is great. Very peaceful and great sunset views. Plenty for kids to do including fishing. The host is acomodative and very responsive to all questions and requests.
The house was incredible and way bigger and spectacular in person. I went with a group of friends and our stay couldnât have gone any better. The management team was friendly and super responsive, I highly recommend this property!
Earl was great and super responsive throughout the entire process.
It was such a relaxing week - taking out the kayaks every day, sitting in the hot tub, playing whiffle ball on the big lawn, and building fires at night. Plus some great runs on some really steep hills in both directions from the house.
We would definitely consider staying again.
Beautiful home tucked away near a gorgeous lake. We went in the winter so could not get on the water, but there was a ton of equipment so I imagine the place would be great in summer. Rooms are very comfortable. The nearest large shop (Walmart) is a bit far, but there's a smaller grocery store nearby - would recommend making a stop on your way up to the home if you're doing a lot of cooking.
We loved the property and location and enjoyed all the amenities. We were happy to bring our dog . The house is dated and not up to date which is usually why you can bring the dogs. Would have preferred a little more refining in the cleaning, but it's the end of the summer. Great location to Bethel woods.
We had a lovely time at the Catskills House. The lake was wonderful. But the house could use some TLC. When we arrived, the fireplace and hot tub were non-functional, the house lacked some basic supplies and the cleaning from previous guests was sub-par. The owner was super responsive to our issues, however, and we got them resolved. But a but more house/property maintenance would be recommended.
I believe others stated the same but the pictures don't do justice to the size of the house. With 4 bedrooms all of good size and 2.5 bathrooms, easily fit 7 adults and 2 infants. Living/dining/kitchen room was spacious just couldn't all fit in the small dining table which was only meant for 4.
Lake was nice and very clear, and with all the available types of boats available it was enjoyable. Fishing was nice out on the boats but hard around the dock with all the vegetation compared to some other houses nearby.
This home has amazing views of the lake and perfect for families. Plenty of room to spread out over four floors. All beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is stocked with all you need. We spent most of our time by the lake swimming and kayaking. Plenty of water toys provided.
The hot tub was an added bonus!
We found a great place to eat and get a drink not far from the house called The Outpost. Highly recommend.
Earl the owner was very responsive and accommodating.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful home!

Our family of 4 spent a wonderful week at this comfortable house. Bedrooms being on separate floors allowed us to spread out. The giant windows in the living room framed the natural beauty outside. My husband was excited to catch a 3.75lb bass off of the dock. The kids enjoyed the space and privacy of the big yard, finding tadpoles, sighting animals, playing football, and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Earl was informative and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Thanks for a great time!
This house was one of my favorite places I have come across on Vrbo. I stayed for a weekend with some friends for a nice relaxing getaway. We actually never left the house because it was so perfect. It was so cozy with all of the things you may need, and an amazing lake view. The owner Earl gave us so much information about the property and the area before we even got there, we had no questions and felt so comfortable. I would definitely go again, we had such a great time!
The interior of the house needs quite a bit of attention. It feels like it hasnât been upgraded in about 20 years. It looks like the owners are starting to make some changes but itâs hard to justify the price at this point. That being said, the property was gorgeous and the local towns were a perfect place to spend a long weekend.
Our family of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids and one dog) stayed here for a weekend in November 2020. The house is beautiful, clean, comfortable, spacious yet cozy â a perfect âcabin in the woodsâ with all the amenities and a lovely water view. In fact, we never left the house! We enjoyed playing catch in the backyard, kayaking, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, fishing at the dock, and of course, lots of time in the hot tub. The kitchen is well-stocked with silverware, pots and pans, etc. and a supermarket is a 5 minute drive from the house. We used the grill for a BBQ one night and watched movies on the large screen TV. The kids also loved the foosball table. Earl is extremely responsive, well-organized, and provided extensive information about the house and the surrounding area; Paul from his maintenance team was helpfully setting up the hot tub when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Earlâs home. Our only regret is having booked such a short stay, but we hope to be back soon!
I came with a group of friends for our yearly medical school friendship reunion. Great spacious place that allowed us to play board games, kayak, and watch movies together. We would definitely recommend and consider coming back!
If you are looking for a serene place to relax, look no further! My friend and I stayed for a week and cancelled planned activities to spend more time at the house, because it was such a relaxing and enjoyable place to be. We kayaked and fished, enjoyed the deck, dock, and screened in porch tremendously. The house is even more spacious and lovely than the pictures show, and the views incredible. We had lots of birds, squirrels, deer, and a chubby little groundhog visit and add to the tranquility. And I must credit Earl- we had a small issue come up during our stay, and he was exceedingly responsive, helpful, and generous in a resolution- far exceeding what we would have expected. Awesome house, host, and experience, highly recommended!
Place was picturesque. The lake is very private and there are kyacks and a rowboat available. The house is very nice but it is lacking many
amenities (except toilet paper) like towels. There is very little nearby so donât plan to eat out. Overall I would give it high ratings. Very nice place.
The property is beautiful, great lake for swimming and paddling, there are various kayaks and boats. A good supermarket is just 5 mins driving from the house. We were staying with another family and a great time. However, some things were disappointing, especially given the Rental price. To start, there was dog poop all around the lawn that had not been cleaned up either by the previous renter or the cleaning crew. The house itself had a moldy smell in the 2 lower bedrooms. In the bottom room it was bad enough that we ended up not using it at all. The kitchen had most what we needed but there were just barely enough plates, cups, glasses, and silverware for 8 people. A house this size should be better equipped. Internet is there but too slow to stream any movies.
Finally, we lost power in a storm one day and that also means no water. It came back within 12 hours so we could manage but we had some communication problems with the manager. I could not reach anyone at the phone number provided and nobody returned my call. I would be good to make sure all numbers are up to date.
Despite these caveats we still had a very enjoyable week at the house.
Excellent location - a few steps to a beautiful and private lake. Having the kayaks and boats available for use was really wonderful. We really enjoyed going out on the water everyday. The property is well maintained, although some of the equipment is damaged. Great house! Perfect for 8 adults. Furniture could use some upgrading, but overall well worth it.
This is the 3rd time we stayed at the Eldred Lake House. Always love the fireplace and hot tub. This has become our company getaway retreat, where we have business strategy sessions coupled with relaxing group times away. Thank Earl for another wonderful stay!
I purchased this beautiful vacation home to get away from the busy NY City life on the weekends. I enjoy making my home available to travelers looking for a relaxing, quiet, private, scenic mountain and lake experience.
Easy, close access to the water, plenty of privacy, great nature views and screened in porch allows you to see the wildlife on the move early mornings. Huge Anderson windows allow you to feel at one with nature! Best bass fishing in the area.
