Lakefront home at far below Lakefront pricing!

Welcome to Lake Jeff Cottage, a private, custom-built, pet-friendly family vacation home nestled in the Catskill Mountains.

*Lake Jeff is a small non-motorboat lake. The lake is wonderful for fishing from the shore and rowing thought the lake is shallow in certain areas. That said there's plenty of opportunities to enjoy the view and catch some fish while at the cottage. Be sure to bring your rods and reels!

Due to the shallow nature of the lake we charge less than other lake front homes in our area that accommodate up to 8 guests.

This charming four-bedroom, two-bath vacation home offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Groceries? Gas? Gifts? No problem! Lake Jeff Cottage is conveniently located just one scenic mile up the creek from the lovely town of Jeffersonville.

Jeffersoville and the surrounding towns offer opportunities for concerts and events within a half hours drive from the house.

A great getaway!
This was a beautiful and thoroughly relaxing house! The pictures on the website are accurate and show the welcoming spaces and comfortable rooms. The lake view was a highlight as we enjoyed the many levels of the outdoor patios and fire pit, and the local area kept us busy too.The owner was kind and accommodating as well as responsive. I highly recommend this property.

Lakeside charm! Room for all
This lakefront rental has a great layout and beautiful mult-level lakefront patios. There’s plenty of room to spread out and feel at home! Sitting around the fire pit in the quiet of the night, while stargazing was perfect! We enjoyed our stay and the amenities of the property! Supplying beach towels was a plus!

Lovely weekend
We had a great time at Lake Jeff. The house is very clean and well-appointed: the kitchen is stocked, we had plenty of fresh linens, comfy couches, etc. We had the most relaxing weekend grilling and hanging out on the deck, playing board games, and exploring Jeffersonville, Livingston Manor and Roscoe. The owners were exceptionally helpful and communicative from booking to check-out. I highly recommend this cottage!

Great house on a lake
The house was a great cabin feel and authentic lake house. Good set up both indoors (bedrooms, kitchen, common space and bathrooms) and especially outdoors. Tons of room outside to sit and look at the amazing view of the lake, a specific place for a nightime camp fire and a personal dock at the lake. One thing to note is that the property is easy to miss when driving on the road since it is down a hill off the road but we found it.

Lake Jeff Retreat
My family enjoyed a memorable retreat together at this treasure on Lake Jeff. The property is gorgeous and is true to its representation in the photos. The whole family enjoyed fishing, swimming, going on adventures on the rowboat and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. There are many comfortable places to relax outside and enjoy the view. Jeffersonville is a short trip down the road for restaurants and shopping needs. We had one rainy day that we enjoyed playing games inside talking and making new family memories. We highly recommend this special location!

Beautiful home and property!
This home and property are gorgeous! Plenty of room for everyone in the house-there were 7 of us. It was amazing how many different seating areas there are outside. Even on the day it rained, we still enjoyed the views from the covered patio. Every evening we enjoyed a fire in the fire pit. The fishing was great! We caught many and released them back into the lake. My sons enjoyed taking the boat out. The town is very close and everyone was very friendly. Ann was great to work with and very patient with my many questions. We will definitely be back!

A very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay.
We stayed at the cottage while attending a nearby music festival and could not have made a better choice. Cozy and comfortable is the best way to describe it. The lake views never get old especially in the morning with the fog resting on top of the water. We found the house had all the amenities and plenty of clean towels and linens. The owners recently had some work done and the contractors didn’t return and hook everything correctly. We notified the owners and they bent over backwards to have it corrected. It wasn’t a big deal but we really appreciated how quickly they offered to take care of things. Thanks for a great stay.

Relaxing and comfortable
My husband, dog and I just got back from Ann's Lake Jeff property. We had such a great time there. The house is so close to town which makes it easy to pop out and get supplies. We went to pecks market and also got dinner to go one night at spice cafe which was great. The inside of the house was cozy in a great way with a nice modern kitchen overlooking the lake. The master bedroom also overlooks the beautiful lake and has a large comfortable bed. We were at the house when the fall foliage was at its peak and it was stunning. We drove around Sullivan County and it was just picture perfect. The area of the house was nice and quiet, my husband caught a decent size brook trout that we released back into the water and saw two bald eagles over the lake and go to their nest in a close tree. We used both the outdoor fire pit and indoor fireplace. All in all it was a great three nights and would absolutely return. Ann was a gracious, thoughtful host who was always available and responded back quickly to emails.

Overpriced and disappointed
We chose the house for a fishing and swimming vacation for our extended family, including 3 teenaged boys. We were disappointed- the house and lake did not appear as nice as the pictures. The lake was not swimmable - it was green and appeared dirty. The house was tired and the yard was unkempt. There was broken glass in the cracks on the patio, and we noticed a pungent odor in the water, bathrooms, and hallway drain. The pictures do not represent what we experienced. We left 2 days early. While we were there we made the best of it and did enjoy fishing nearby, and family time on the stone patio. The house was fully stocked with all the linens and kitchen and bathroom supplies which was nice. We contacted the owner who did her best to accommodate us, however we were still disappointed. The house was not worth the price. We have stayed in many rentals, both summer and winter, and this is the first time we have been so disappointed that we left early.

Lakehouse
Overall, we had a very nice vacation at the Lakehouse with another family. We had a few concerns I sent the owner Ann after our stay, and she responded promptly and was very open to hearing them. We felt that the home was not cleaned as thoroughly as we thought it should be, being that the housekeeper was supposed to clean it prior to our stay. It was dusty, especially the 3rd floor, and we had to wipe down the kitchen, dining table and inside the fridge. There was also no single bed over the queen size bed like was shown in the photos in the listing. Two of the children were looking forward to using these "bunk beds" so that was a bit of a disappointment for them. We also didn't feel comfortable swimming in the lake due to it being murky and had a lot of algae on top. Of course, this was at no fault to the owner. But we did enjoy the rowboat they provided and also brought our own kayaks. We explored the lake and found some really beautiful spots with crystal clear water you could walk through. We really enjoyed the firepit and saw lots of animals which the kids got a kick out of- frogs, beavers, eagles and cranes. It was a beautiful spot for star gazing as well. We ventured into the town a few times. Went to Tavern on Main which was a nice restaurant, as well as to Sprinkles, the adjoining ice cream shop. We visited a few parks closeby as well as a petting farm.

Fun Thanksgiving Retreat
We very much enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay with extended family at this lakeside retreat. The view was great and there was some water in the lake; we saw fox, geese and ducks walking on the ice and swimming down the middle of the lake. It was a very cozy and comfortable house-great for kids and a dog. We did bring a stand-alone gate to confine the youngest (2) from some of the stairs. I think the owner should be aware, however, that there was pervasive evidence of mice--droppings were found on the bedside tables, a few on the bed sheets, on the stove top, on the couch in the master bedroom, in bowls in the kitchen, and a lot along the window sills. We brought some lysol wipes and made the best of it (the house, aside from the droppings was very clean and lovely), but the droppings were a health concern, especially since we had young kids and a dog with us. We have lived in the country and understand that mice happen, but this was a little above our comfort level. Overall, great stay, and we would consider returning if the rodent issue is addressed.

Perfect Vacation Home
Ann’s beautiful Lake Jeff Cottage was the perfect home-base for our long weekend visit! The house is very spacious and very well appointed with beautiful antique pieces integrated into the decor. It has multiple wonderfully comfortable spaces for relaxing and a very well equipped modern kitchen. The location is perfect – right on the lake and about a 25 minute walk to town. One of our objectives in visiting in October was to see the fall foliage, and this cottage delivered! The view of the lake and its surroundings was gorgeous!!! We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect weekend getaway!
My family and I wanted a few days to get away. We wanted something secluded and on a lake. This was the perfect place! So quiet and peaceful. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise overlooking Lake Jeff. The fishing was great! We caught fish every day. We didn't have the opportunity to use the rowboat, but it was nice that it was available. The terraced seating areas are beautiful. We enjoyed an outdoor fire for the first 2 nights of our stay. The owner had wood delivered for us to use in the fire pit and inside in the wood-burning stove. The house was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had some things available like spices, etc. but we brought everything we needed to prepare meals. If you're a wine drinker, bring some wine glasses. There was only one in the cabinet. Other than that, we had everything we needed. Amy was excellent at communicating. Overall a great weekend in a lovely home. We hope to rent again at this location next year in the warmer weather.

Great cozy cabin
The house was very clean and cozy with lots of space for a group of five (could easily hold 7 people). The outside terrace with the fire pit overlooking the lake is amazing. There's also lots of wildlife around. We saw deer, a bald headed eagle and many other birds. I'd definitely like to come back in the summer.
