About this property
Whimsical Lakefront Chalet
Multiple levels of large back decks and vaulted interiors invite you into this whimsical space, presented by StayBettr Vacation Rentals. You will feel like you are dining in the treetops on this ridge perched lakefront home. The decks includes table seating, sun loungers, and Adirondack chairs. The large fenced in backyard includes several fire pits and a hammock. Down the stairway to the dock you will find several kayaks available for your use as well.
Inside you will find an open concept main level with a delightful woodburning fireplace. The lofted office area offers dramatic views of the lake and backyard for when you need to work remotely. There are bedrooms on each of the three levels of the home, and two full bathrooms.

The Neighborhood:
Swinging Bridge Reservoir is the largest largest lake in the Sullivan Catskills, and one of the few that allows motor boats. You'll feel removed from the city, but still within 20 minutes of groceries and things to do. The neighborhood is a mix of seasonal homes and year round residents. A public boat launch is nearby, and just around the corner are two full services marinas--Starlight and Swinging Bridge Marinas.
Getting Around:
We recommend having car for your stay. Taxis are available, but ride sharing services are more sparse. Rental car services are available in Monticello. Shortline Coach Bus Service provides service between New York City and Monticello as well.
Otisville and Port Jervis Metro North Stations are each approximately 30 minutes drive from the house. The trip from NY Penn Station to Otisville is about 2 hours. Train access is great if you have members of your group who need to arrive/depart at different times.
