Lake Minnewaska Views!

Super cute property with wonderful views and access to the beach. It is apparent this is a well loved family property whose owners chose to share with others. While the circumstances of our trip were for somber reasons, the cabin environment was really nice and comforting.

Our 4th Year

This is the 4th summer we've spent at this house! We enjoy the house, the location, the creek, the large back area, the lake. The house is clean upon check in. Communication with property manager is good with timely responses. Areas of improvement include an air conditioner in the front bedroom. Window cleaning to control dirt, bugs, debris. The shoreline should be raked.

Good but not great

Overall, the property was good. Would have been better with some minor upkeep. Biggest complaint was the number of spiders inside the house. The beach needs some upkeep. We cleaned up some of the debris and weeds, but there were still weeds that were large and need to be pulled. Once the beach was cleaned up, the kids had fun playing in the sand. The water was pretty clean and the views of sunrise and sunset are amazing.

Clean, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, new appliances.TVs in each bedroom and the living room. We were able to access the TV in the living room after two calls and two codes. We are not very tech savvy. I'm retired so the steep, narrow treads of the stairs started to hurt my knees.Nice to have all the bedrooms on the same level with young grandchildren. New windows in the house so there was no window AC in one of the bedrooms. Hard to cool down. Lovely beach and dock, The municipal beach with a slide is one block away so we had two beaches. There is plenty of traffic on the road, we learned to stop and look most drivers were looking out for pedestrians.

An updated listing would be beneficial, but still a good place!

Thanks for a great stay! We had a great time at the house, and it was a good space for our group. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen items as well as bathroom towels, bedroom linens, kid’s toys, and large outside and indoor table. The backyard was nice, and the grill and play set were enjoyed. We also appreciated the washer and dryer. The dock was nice to use and tie up our boat every now and then. The close boat ramp was nice too. There are a couple things to note that we were disappointed about: there is a road between the house and beach area, the fire pit is not by the creek in the backyard but rather across the road near the beach area, there were no stairs down to the dock (it’s a rocky climb/descent) and the steps in the house upstairs to the bedrooms are very steep. The area where the fire pit was was small over there, didn’t have wood, and didn’t allow all our family to sit around it, so we ended up not using it, which was disappointing. Also to note, there is only one shower and it’s upstairs, which didn’t work well for grandparents since the stairs are so steep, and it didn’t have a bathtub bottom. The third bedroom upstairs did not have a window air conditioner, so it was rather warm even with two fans running. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thanks so much!

Great lakeshore property to stay in

I'd definitely stay here again. We had a family of 6 adults and 4 kids and a small dog and loved staying here Pros: the property mgr was QUICK to reply to needs/ques and gave us his cell#. close to town, boat ramp and public beach, large kitchen and large living room, washer/dryer were nice, the shower was large with great water pressure, the dock, view of sunsets, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath &beach towels, firepit & chairs, large deck on the backside of house, internet/TV's, fans and AC units, Cutco knives! and we could bring our small cavapoo :) Cons: there needs to be STEPS TO THE DOCK (walking on boulders is an accident/injury waiting to happen) the two couches in the living room need replaced (stained and very uncomfortable), the overall upkeep of the property was poor (landscaping, tacky/sticky paint throughout the house, shower grout, felt unclean), kitchen needs decluttered (it was well stocked but cabinets, drawer and counters were full, items could be removed such as the excess spices and amount of small skillets and glasses), no outdoor electrical outlet (need this for cleaning fish), the guest book needs info on how to access the basement in the event of a storm or circuit panel access (we found the key but it should be listed in the book), also the codes for the TV should be listed (we texted the property mgr but he replies FAST so it all worked out), the road betw the house and lake may deter some but it didn't bother us

Nice location, close to beach

Overall it was a nice stay. The location with the lake view was very nice and picturesque. The kitchen was well-equipped and the beds, pillows, and furniture was all comfortable. The AC kept the place cool, even upstairs, so that was a plus in the summer. There were only a few problems. The property is old, and as with a lot of old houses, the floors seemed to slant in almost every room. Also, in the master bedroom there were only sheers on the front and side windows, whereas there were blinds in the other rooms and downstairs. There was a problem with the TV programming. When turned on, the TV was locked into Amazon Kids even though we followed the directions in the check-in guide. After consulting with the manager, we were finally able to watch TV. It was a little frustrating, in that it was advertised as having "Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Now. All are signed in and ready to use." At night, the side entrance near the driveway was extremely dark and it was difficult to go up the steps without using our cell phone flashlights. Lastly, the property was a little short on basic paper products (TP, paper towels, napkins). But other than those minor inconveniences, I would say that it was a pleasant stay, with close proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants in Glenwood.

Nice Town

I would say that it was a nice place and for an old house was nice. Our grand kids loved all the toys and puzzles. We knew there was a road between the house and the lake when we booked. The dock is nice, but no boat lift. The stairs are typical of an older home very steep. the kitchen was spacious and nice. Over all I gave 4 stars. The one thing I had issues with was TVs there were numerous remotes, which in a streaming world is expected, but the instructions for use were basically a couple of lines in a book. The real issue is the instructions say that everything is signed in and ready to use. That wasn't true as it was not possible to get past the need for an access code to access the streaming service that would have shown TNT and the Wolves playoff game. A request to the property manager provided an access code that was for kids access, but did not work for Prime Video. I would offer that this issue was the only thing that dampened our stay. I think in today's world it should be possible to provide and change access codes between tenants. These codes should accompany the welcome packet which should be sent prior to arrival. I think this issue is very fixable, so take it as a suggestion for an improvement rather than a complete negative. Thanks for providing the opportunity to rent.
