The Lake House

Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My family, 7 of us anyway, spent the Columbus Day weekend at The Lake House. We had a wonderful time in this welcoming and warm home. It was cool outside, but we could still sit on the porch and at the beach, paddle a canoe around, hike up Lookout Mt and "The Pin," marvel at the wonderful fall colors, and even enjoy a fire in the fireplace. The kitchen had everything you could need to prepare fro and feed a cast of thousands (something, but not much, of an exaggeration). We would go back in a minute! Everything was as described, it was clean, well maintained, and the contact person, Missy, was helpful.

Owner's Response: So glad that you all enjoyed the beauty of the lake and the cozy warmth of our lakehouse. The lakehouse and the surrounding towns have something to offer all who visit it, no matter what the season.

A Family Gathering Place

Review Submitted: May 24, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Dear Missy,
We found the perfect family gathering place in your wonderful Adirondack home on Lake Waramaug. To surprize our daughter for her birthday, we looked for a place with warmth, plenty of room to hang out together, cook, gather around a table and spend time together celebrating. The walls there speak of many generations of celebration and gatherings. The lovely old hearths in the dining room and livingroom, were a warm backdrop to our evening meals and long rambling talks.
We had everything we needed for making meals and living comfortably there. Though the weather did not cooperate with us much, we plopped out on the covered porch on rainy afternoons and enjoyed the view of the lake. Having use of the canoe was fun on that one day that the sun shown through and we did get out on the lake for a short time.
The approach to the driveway is a bit tricky to navigate and the road in front can be busy, but being close to the lake was really great.
Thank you for opening your special family place for us. Clearly it is a home long cherished and full of family memories. We've added some of ours.

Girls Weekend

Review Submitted: September 27, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
7 friends spent the weekend at the Lake House. It was the most relaxing weekend we have ever spent together (we do a get away once a year) The view from the porch is spectacular, you feel like you're in a tree house overlooking the lake. We had planned to spend the an afternoon sightseeing, we chose to visit the winery and head back to the porch The house is very well equipped and is even better in person than advertised. Dealing with the owners was a great experience, very responsive to emails and questions. Everyone is asking to return to next year which is impressive as the group of us have nver gone to the same place twice. All of us highly recommend this property

Owner's Response: We are so pleased you had a great stay. The weather in September and October is some of the best at Lake Waramaug. .
The mention of feeling like you are in a tree house is interesting as the original name for the house was "The Eyrie" which means a nest in a tree-top on top of a mountain.

A Real Vacation

Review Submitted: August 23, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Lake House. The house was extremely well equipped for our extended family, including two grandchildren. Bike rides around the lake, dinners on the large porch with beautiful sunsets, hikes up to the Pinnacle, short excursions to neighboring towns, lively games around the large dining room table after dark -- these all provided memories that we will long treasure. The owners are very helpful and pleasant. This was a terrific destination not too far from home!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: As with many of our guests this summer, the Lakehouse has served as a "home away from home" with a couple of extra perks that Lake Waramaug and the surrounding area provide!

Two Magical Weeks in July

Review Submitted: August 8, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
"The Lake House” is even better than advertised. It is as other reviewers have stated: well equipped, clean, charmingly decorated, and roomy. It is more difficult to describe the special warmth and calm of the house that make it very welcoming. The owners are most responsive to questions if any arise. Yes, there is the cell phone restriction, but on our way to the nearby farm stand to buy fresh picked corn, we would stop on Tanner Hill to get reception. The New Preston area has many attractions to offer – we visited Kent, Washington and Tanglewood. But we were most content taking long swims several times a day, lounging on the private dock a few strokes from the shore, canoeing, cooking, watching the sunsets at the beach or sharing dinners on the porch with appreciative guests."

Owner's Response: So glad that our guests are able to enjoy our home as much as we do. This is a special place that has been in our family for over 50 years.
