ESCAPE IN THE TREES

Summary

Located on a large, private lake with sunset views and gorgeous mountain backdrop, this unique home offers all comforts and amenities to guests.

Description

Located on a large, private lake with sunset views and mountain backdrop, this unique home offers all comforts and amenities. With an all-wood interior, vaulted ceilings, and a fireplace in both rooms, this romantic retreat in the trees defines warmth and charm. A large oval deck off the living room faces the lake as does the bedroom's balcony.

Ski slopes half are hour away. Surrounded by natural beauty, west sunsets are seen through large, glass doors from the living room and bedroom - each with their own deck and balcony. A fireplace in both bedroom and living room add warmth and charm as you sit midway up in the tall pines. A rowboat sits at the water's edge. This three-level home has an all wood interior, wide pine plank floors throughout and high vaulted ceilings. The bathroom's sloped ceiling includes a skylight over a claw-footed tub sunk in Mexican paving tiles.

Original art and objects along with the turn of the century antiques add to the uniqueness of this very original home on the lake. Heat, air conditioning, Internet access and HDTV available. Beautiful in all seasons. Ideal trip at leaf turning time and wonderful for skiers to return to after skiing Hunter and Windham mountains - a half-hour away. Through renting my house with guests being introduced to the surrounding beauty, several former renters are now property owners with homes in Sleepy Hollow Lake. Located in the old Hudson River town of Athens - little has changed in over two hundred years. Many old, historic houses remain as they were. Both Athens and Coxsackie have charming parks sitting on the Hudson.

They offer summer concerts and waterfront dining as the season permits. One steps back in time here and finds things still lovely, still fairly secret, as it nestles in the foothills of the Catskills known as the Hudson Valley. - Entire home. - Sleepy Hollow Lake beach - Two swimming pools - Basketball and tennis courts - Row boat This is my weekend retreat and I am available to guests via phone. ThisĀ  retreat is located on a large private, exclusive lake spanning the towns of Athens and Coxsackie, two historic Hudson River towns. Best by car, although an Amtrak train brings you to the town of Hudson, NY - ten minutes to the house by taxi. If you bring a dog, the doggie beach is two minutes away for his enjoyment.

Athens also offers a fabulous dog park with a large enclosed area.
