Serene lakeside oasis - fast WiFi 1.5 hrs from NYC, fire-pit & nature all around

Welcome to our sanctuary of tranquility, our "Serene Lakeside Oasis". Nestled between the picturesque beauty of a peaceful lake and the lush greenery of an untamed forest, our idyllic retreat beckons you. Providing an unrivaled escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this retreat invites you to lose yourself in the soul-stirring beauty of the wild while also immersing you in the comfort of modern luxuries.

Our cottage in the forest allows you to sink into the bosom of nature. Whether you are unwinding after a day of remote work, meditating by the calming waters, engaging in nature photography, or simply taking a leisurely walk around the lake to enjoy the stunning local wildlife, our oasis delivers a deep connection with the great outdoors. This gem, rebuilt meticulously in 2022, is a harmonious marriage of the natural allure of the wilderness and the convenience of contemporary living.

Sprawling over 400-square-feet, our haven is characterized by an open, inviting layout, high cathedral ceilings, and expansive, energy-efficient windows, along with strategically placed skylights. This thoughtful architecture fills the cottage with an abundance of natural light and offers panoramic views of the verdant landscape from every corner of the retreat. Enhancing this indoor-outdoor connection, high-resolution images of the local landscape lovingly adorn the cottage's walls, fostering a profound connection with nature that is just beyond your doorstep.

Despite the idyllic seclusion, our Serene Lakeside Oasis misses none of the comforts of a modern lifestyle. The space is equipped with amenities such as efficient heating and air conditioning to maintain the ideal temperature year-round, hot water availability, high-speed internet for your connectivity needs, sleek stainless-steel appliances adding a touch of modernity to the cottage, a fully equipped bathroom boasting heated floors, a comprehensive kitchen ready for home-cooked meals, and a washer/dryer, ensuring you feel at home.

While it offers the perfect escape, our oasis is conveniently located just a short, 15-minute drive from the quaint town of Port Jervis. This charming town is home to a plethora of coffee shops brewing aromatic beans, a brewery serving crafted beers, a variety of restaurants catering to every palate, and reliable train services to and from NYC, making your travel seamless.

Our property is strategically positioned for indulging in day trips into the iconic Catskills. It offers easy access to cultural attractions such as the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which resonates with the historic significance of the legendary Woodstock, as well as the Resorts World Catskills Casino for a taste of nightlife, and Kartrite Resort for family fun. Further, we are just under a 45-minute drive from charming local towns teeming with local culture, such as Milford, Warwick, Narrowsburg, and Livingston Manor.

The promise of adventure is always around the corner at our oasis. The close proximity to hiking trails like the scenic Mongaup River Trail, white water rafting, canoeing, and fishing opportunities means there's never a dull moment. Your day can be as laid-back or as filled with activities as you wish, and when the day winds down, you can choose to dine in or experience the local cuisine at a nearby eatery.

Our Serene Lakeside Oasis has been designed to offer you the revitalizing escape you seek. If your heart yearns for a connection with nature without being lost in the wilderness, our oasis is your perfect destination. Here, you can wake up to the gentle rustling of leaves, the melodious song of birds, and the soothing sounds of nature, completely undisturbed by the harsh noises of city life. So profound is the tranquility here, you can almost hear the grass grow.

Welcome to our Serene Lakeside Oasis—your perfect getaway, where the melody of nature serenades you, the view enchants you, and the comfort embraces you. Your journey to tranquility begins here.

Loved everything about it!
My husband and I rented this house for a night to celebrate our anniversary. We LOVED so many things: layout of the house, modern finishes, the sky lights, fireplace feature, TV, bed, kitchen, heated floors in the bathroom, shower, back porch, fire pit, short walk to the lake, and the privacy and peacefulness of the lake. We would definitely stay here again. Activities we enjoyed nearby were visiting Buttermilk Falls at the Delaware Water Gap and High Point State Park in NJ.

Exactly what we were hoping for
The cottage is gorgeous. Brand new and beautifully appointed. Partner and I wanted to escape everything and this was perfect. Coffee on the deck listening to the woodland critters wake up, followed by daytime adventures and finishing with catching a couple/three three+ pound largemouth bass on the quiet lake while the setting sun paints the surrounding mountains purple and orange Perfect. Perfect. Perfect
