This beautifully renovated lakefront retreat, presented by StayBettr Vacation Rentals, is perched hillside for sweeping views of Swinging Bridge Lake. Outdoors the deck includes table seating, gas grill, and patio heater. Off the deck in the yard you will find a fire pit and a hammock. The lakefront amenity area includes a grassy lawn, fire pit, and dock. Several kayaks are available for your use as well--you can even launch your own boats from the site. Relax along 200 feet of beach front with lounge chairs, dock and deck with outdoor furniture and propane fire table.
Inside you will find an open concept main level with a massive chef's kitchen. Every room on the main level offers dramatic views of the lake from large picture windows. Downstairs there is an additional den with woodstove.
While the home is not part of Starlight Marina, the proximity allows for easy boating and lake activities. Boat rentals and onsite restaurant are available from the marina during the summer season.

The Neighborhood:
Swinging Bridge Reservoir is the largest largest lake in the Sullivan Catskills, and one of the few that allows motor boats. You'll feel removed from the city, but still within 20 minutes of groceries and things to do. The neighborhood is a mix of seasonal homes and year round residents. A public boat launch is nearby, and just around the corner are two full services marinas--Starlight and Swinging Bridge Marinas.
Getting Around:
I recommend having car for your stay. Taxis are available, but ride sharing services are more sparse. Rental car services are available in Monticello. Shortline Coach Bus Service provides service between New York City and Monticello as well.
Otisville and Port Jervis Metro North Stations are each approximately 30 minutes drive from the house. The trip from NY Penn Station to Otisville is about 2 hours. Train access is great if you have members of your group who need to arrive/depart at different times.
Things To Know:
You will be required to sign a rental agreement after check out. Full terms of the agreement are available on request. Additionally, you will be required to complete third-party identity verification and background checks. If you have questions about either of these requirements please message us prior to booking.
The property requires a $500 security deposit via credit card, or to pay a fee to waive the security deposit.

The home is adjacent to an active marina. There is potential for noise during the day during the summer. The marina is not open late in the evening.
