Off the deck in the yard you will find a fire pit and a hammock.  The lakeside area includes over 200 ft of wide sandy beach and a private dock. The lakefront amenity area includes a sand covered beach, volleyball, soccer area, and grassy lawn. Several kayaks are available for your use as well--you can even launch your own boats from the site. Relax along the beach front with lounge chairs and newly added patio. You have a dock exclusively for your use, and boat rentals are available from Starlight Marina next door.  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. There is an electric fireplace in the upstairs living room. Proximity to Starlight Marina provides additional opportunities.

The driveway is asphalt and has space for 5 cars. There are various locked owners closets and a storage building that guests should not attempt to access. **Support During Your Stay:** StayBettr Vacation Rentals manages this property remotely, but we have a local contact who can assist with any issues that may arise during your stay. **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:** We 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/bus 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 the booking is confirmed. Full terms of the agreement are available on request. Additionally, you will be required to upload an approved government identification card or passport when you complete the rental agreement. If you have questions about either of these requirements please message us prior to booking. Fees may apply for early check-ins, late check-outs, and additional optional services. Up to two dogs may stay at the property. The first dog is includes in the nightly rate. The second dog incurs a $25/night fee. 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. No more than 5 cars allowed. The lakeside amenities not available from early November until the lake has thawed and levels stabilize in late spring. **Regulatory:** Sullivan County Room Tax ID RT TBD ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,550 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95300000/95297200/95297167/46d69985.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modernist Lakefront Sojourn Thompson - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=95297167&PinnedHotelID=95297167&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78380000/78379900/78379844/d750c295.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Nature Escape: 3BR Pet-Friendly House Spacious Retreat w/Game Rm/FirePlace Glen Spey - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 26 reviews CA $346 CA $749 total includes taxes & fees Nov 21 - Nov 22 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=78379844&PinnedHotelID=78379844&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53990000/53987100/53987033/4ee3a1dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoy the Magic of the Catskills in your Private Lakefront Home White Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=53987033&PinnedHotelID=53987033&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78500000/78498400/78498313/59234fe5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large Catskills Private Property.
