Lakefront/nature retreat, 50 miles from NYC, close to Le Chateau (South Salem | Cottage in South Salem
3 Bedroom Cottage in South Salem
Newly renovated modern lakefront house (3 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms), in a charming and relaxing neighborhood, with endless activities all year round. This contemporary lake house in South Salem, New York, features direct access to one of the most beautiful lakes in the state of New York, Lake Waccabuc. It has stylish mid-century interiors (a gut renovation was completed recently; the renovation was done with high end materials and appliances). The house has stunning lake views from almost every room; two decks overlooking the lake (one large deck right outside the kitchen/living-room and one smaller, right outside the master bedroom--the large deck has a hot tub but it is NOT available to renters as it was damaged by previous renters). It has one back garden with a garage and a large front garden with direct access to the lake and to our private dock (from which you can watch beautiful sunsets). We have a fire pit that you are welcome to use in the front garden. We also have a private float where the water is deeper, from which you can dive in (it is close to our private dock). We have several kayaks and a canoe that you are welcome to use (lake Waccabuc is connected to two other lakes, so it is fun to kayak to these 2 other lakes), as well as snorkeling equipment. The house sleeps 8 + 2 (we have inflatable mattresses to accommodate more guests). This spacious home is great for big families or for several couples, with a flexible layout and space to relax. This house is enjoyable all year round: in the Summer, spend your days swimming in the lake, kayaking across the water to Long Pond Preserve park or lounging on the private deck - this is a great place to enjoy nature and wild animals. You can see lots of birds, deer, beaver, swan, herons, and lots of other wildlife from the deck or the garden! You can explore the sand beaches on the lakes, the island or the other two interconnected lakes by kayak (note that the pontoon boat is NOT available for rent because of insurance issues).
In the Fall, the foliage is beautiful on the lake and one mile away, there are great hiking trails with views of the mountains, forests and lakes; there are several other parks within a 15 minute drive.
In the Winter and Spring, drive 25 minutes to ski at Thunder Ridge or ice skate on the lake right outside the house. It is also less than 4 miles away from the wedding venue Le Chateau, so it's an ideal location for families attending weddings there and looking for accommodation. Very convenient if you are planning a last minute trip from New York; it is just an hour away from Manhattan, so you can day-trip to visit family-friendly tourist spots such as Central Park Zoo (45 minutes away), Metropolitan Museum of Art or Rockefeller Center, (one hour drive) before returning to a relaxing natural setting, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is just over an hour drive to LaGuardia or JFK airport.
