Wonderful!
We have enjoyed several stays in this wonderful cottage…usually in the winter. We were so delighted sitting on the porch in the evenings listening to the chorus of frogs by the lake. Absolutely enchanting! Ellen is a wonderful hostess. The cottage is immaculate and well stocked. Hopefully we will visit this cozy cottage again!

Beautiful property
What an amazing property this was to stay in. Plenty of space but felt cosy. It was cold and snowy when we stayed so couldn’t take advantage of the proximity of the lake, but did get to use the fireplace. Cottage is isolated enough to feel like we were well away from the city but close enough to where we wanted to visit. Close to Bash Bish falls, Rodger’s Book Barn, Coopers Daughter and, of course, the supermarket and Stewart’s. Will definitely book again for our next trip

The house was beautiful inside - it was immaculate and the details were thoughtful and comfortable. The king bed was super comfortable. Everything was perfect. This is such an unassuming house. It was really lovely, and we enjoyed our stay very much. I will definitely plan to stay again.

We rented this property for overflow family guests of our daughters weekend. The host Ellen is so responsive and has created a perfect, relaxing place for a getaway or place for extra guests. She has beautifully decorated every room and provides everything you need for your stay. I highly recommend this property and we will definitely book again!

This is our 2nd visit to this property. We love the location, great fire pit, colorful leaves and lots of deer. We visited Bash Bish Falls and the local brewery was awesome. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We had a very relaxing weekend and look forward to returning.

Mother/daughter getaway
We had a lovely stay! The house was all updated, well decorated and so clean. The master bedroom was very spacious with lots of windows facing the woods for privacy and a really comfortable king bed. We enjoyed sitting by the dock in the Adirondack chairs as well as sitting at night around the fire pit at the house. The furniture in the house was well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped. We had great cell reception and wifi worked well too! I would definitely stay again.

A Quiet Reprieve
A very quiet, relaxful few days. Well needed. Definitely too short. The house itself was situated in a wooded area, with a few houses nearby. Occasional local traffic to and from our section of the lake/dock. Beautiful views and easy access from the dock. At the end of the lake away from any faster noisier boats. The house was clean and comfortable. Could have used a second comfortable chair on the.enclosed porch/dining area for reading, with a view. A very pleasant, enjoyable visit. Would definitely return.

Lovely house
We had a wonderful time at the cottage - spent a lot of time swimming in the lake, cooked a few delicious meals, built a fire in the fire pit. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. One word of warning - beware the deep gully on the right side of the road in front of the house. We arrived in the dark and one of our group, when trying to back up after overshooting the driveway, lodged a rear wheel in the gully. We needed a tow truck to get it out.

This cottage is so clean and nice. We made a fire every night with the wood they supplied and it was so comfy and cozy. The host made the process so easy and it was so quiet with deer visiting us daily.

Comfy and cozy
This was our second stay in this lovely cottage in Copake. It is every bit as lovely and comfortable as we remembered. Ellen is a gracious and welcoming host. The cottage has everything you need for a cozy winter weekend…including a stunning fireplace. The master bedroom is large and luxurious with an extremely comfortable king sized bed. It was hard to get up in the morning! We are looking forward to future stays in Copake Lake!

Relaxing woodsy stay
We did enjoy this residence. It didn’t have as many extras as other homes I’ve stayed in, no assortment of games etc. Internet was choppy. The kitchen was fairly bare, and unfortunately no coffee was provided for Keurig. There was only salt/pepper, sugar and old Instant coffee. It was slightly expensive for what it offered, but it was still quite a nice stay.

Cottage was lovely. So much natural light and nicely decorated. Equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beds were comfortable also. Only disappointment was the dock was taken in before our stay making it difficult to fish.

We took our pups up (with prior approval, of course) and had the absolute best time swimming and dock jumping the days away! I can’t think of a better way to end the summer at this sweet little home, just a few minute walk down a quiet road to the water front. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you again for such a memorable weekend!

An unattractive part of Copake Lake
We were hoping for a vacation that included lounging by the lake, swimming, and kayaking. We were able to kayak, but the lake access was a narrow aluminum dock that smelled unpleasant. There were a lot of boats around which also made it unpleasant to contemplate swimming. Copake lake is quite beautiful overall but this corner was frankly depressing . The house was clean and comfortable enough except for a shower that definitely needs a new shower head! Very simple but certainly acceptable for the price. We chose the house because not much was available that accepted pets. We will not be going back.

Great weekend escape
We had a great long weekend at Lake Copake. Unfortunately, we had an unseasonably cold couple of June days so we couldn't take full advantage of the lake, but the house was cozy and so newly renovated and clean that it made our stay wonderful. The house is fully equipped for your cooking and grilling needs. One suggestion is to add some more instructions around the house - for example, how to turn on the heat in the master bedroom (we needed heat b/c it was unseasonably cold!) and that the grill is connected to a gas line. Also, the grill would not light so we had to manually light it with a match. The area is super cute - had great coffee from Random Harvest. Really enjoyed our stay!
