The home was spacious and comfortable.There was some crazy weather during our visit and power and internet was lost. Luckily Dean had planned for times like this and the generator kicked in immediately. WiFi was a bit spotty, but perhaps it was due to so many cell phones in our party. Communication was immediate whenever we had questions. (We had lots of them with the weather.) We are a major summer grilling family and wished the grill was bigger. It took a bit for our large family. The lake was wonderful as was the yard. Loads of parking. We hope to return next year.
Our family loved the house and the location. It provided plenty of sleeping options and room to gather in the common spaces. Beautiful for a winter gathering - we loved the snowy setting. Also the communication with the property manager was excellent - prompt and helpful.
My friends (all from out of state) and I stayed here for their first experience for NY fall. It was a fantastic stay and my friends and I had a great time. Plenty of space, amazing views and the house is located within driving distance of many places within the Adirondacks. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it for those interested in a calm and peaceful NY getaway.
The property and all amenities were fantastic. Dean was amazing and location was perfect. I booked for next year within an hour of being there.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Deanâs house. It was very clean and spacious for our family of 10 and Lucy our pet lab. The house, amenities and location were exactly as described in the Vrbo listing. Dean was very responsive to all our questions and messages. Highly recommend to those considering staying, to do so. Thanks, Dean.
The house was big, peaceful and well stocked. The property is just lovely and we had the best reunion. Dean was quick in communication about any question we had. Thanks so much!
This house is fabulous for a group! We had 12 adults and there was plenty of space. Well manicured lawn allowed for yard games and a great fire pit to laugh around at night! Hinkley reservoir is a gorgeous body of water and this house is top notch!
We stayed at the property for a long weekend and it was a perfect space for us. There was plenty of space for 14 of us. It was very clean which is very important to me. The property has a beautiful view and so much land. There was snow there even though there was no snow anywhere else so the kids were very happy. Overall a great stay. Thank you.
We have been renting lake houses for the past 8 yrs for the whole family to be together. We have been bringing things with us that we have found to be in short supply at the houses,like a few dishwasher tablets, garbage bags,dish soap, paper supplies... Was pleasantly surprised that the house was fully supplied..even cheese grater and pizza cutter! For the thirteen of us we had plenty of room and hang out places. We all loved swimming off the dock and using the kayaks. There is one queen mattress that probably should be replaced but other than that, my family said this is their favorite place so far!!
We just returned from a long family reunion weekend in Paradise. Everyone from ages 7 to 70 loved being there. We filled every bed (and a couch or two!) but found the living room accommodating and plenty of room on the deck and lawn to enjoy each other's company. From the time we arrived until Suday's departure, all we heard was "Can we come back here next year?" The house is just as pictured but pictures don't do justice to the beautiful property and magnificent lakefront setting. We all enjoyed swimming, kayaking and late night bonfires on the beach. Dean Bailey was more a host than an owner. He welcomed us on arrival, and was available whenever needed.
What a lucky find this was. We'll be back!
There were several issues with this rental. The clothes dryer worked poorly on day 4 and not at all after that. No dryer for 13 people at a lake house was difficult. The owner tried to fix the dryer but was unsuccessful. There were not enough utensils for family meals. The cookware was a hodgepodge of beat up Teflon. There were no chairs in any of the bedrooms. The screened porch was extremely dirty and had large holes in the screens. The boards on the dock became loose as the dock drifted farther from shore. Our 11 year old granddaughter fell through and cut her leg. The lake is peaceful and the view beautiful. The owner seemed nice and tried to fix the dryer. We would not consider renting this house again as it did not measure up to the others weâve rented in the past 9 years. That said it was a joy to enjoy the lake with our children and grandchildren.
I was born and raised here on Hinckley where my three children and I have enjoyed this house for many years. I am a commercail building contractor and will be building a new house on the lake soon.
