About this property

Ultimate Lakefront Escape - Heated Pool, Private Dock

  • Welcome to your Hudson Valley lakefront escape on Upper Rhoda Pond —where space, nature, and thoughtful amenities come together for an unforgettable stay.

    This large home offers everything you need for a true getaway, starting with its stunning double-height great room. Anchored by a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and filled with natural light, it’s a warm and inviting place to gather. Two sets of double doors open out to a wraparound deck overlooking the pool and offering glimpses toward the lake, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.

    The outdoor setup is what truly sets this home apart. Spend your days lounging by the pool, grilling and dining on the deck, or relaxing in the screened-in porch. Just a short walk away, cross a private bridge over a charming stream to reach the lakefront—complete with a private dock, boats, kayaks, and a shared floating swim dock in the middle of the lake for endless summer fun.

    Inside, the home is designed with groups in mind. The open kitchen features generous counter space and an eating bar, perfect for casual meals and gathering while cooking. A separate dining room offers space for larger meals together, while multiple living areas ensure everyone has room to unwind.

    Downstairs, the expansive recreation room is a destination of its own—complete with a sectional sofa, TV, ping pong table, and a mini bar/partial kitchen. With direct access to the outdoors and pool area, it’s ideal for kids, teens, or late-night hangouts.

    Additional features include five comfortable bedrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, central air conditioning and heat, and access to a nearby shared tennis court with our own 7 properties.
