Summary: We had a family multi generational family getaway at this wonderful lake house in the Catskills. The host was so kind and responsive right from the beginning through the end. The house was comfortable, well organized, and so thoughtfully supplied. We would stay here again without hesitation. Thanks so much to our hosts for providing us such a great experience.
