Vacation rentals in Pootatuck State Forest

Our stay at Starlight Serene was everything we hoped it would be! John was very responsive and helpful, especially as this was our first time using AirBnB. The pictures are very accurate, there were plenty of towels, linens, and a VERY well equipped kitchen - much more than we expected (or I have in my own house, I think!). Lots of nice bonuses to this place - my kids loved the firepit and there was wood on hand as well as a s'mores kit; the hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived. You are at the narrower end of the lake, but still a beautiful view with plenty of wildlife. The location is great - roughly 30ish minutes to Bear Mountain, Legoland, and the Palisades Center (which had tons of rainy-day fun for kids). We even rented a pontoon boat from Murphy's Cove Marina - Richie was really wonderful to us and our kids and they loved their first time boating and fishing on the lake. Thanks for a great experience John!

Mougeh's place is a lovely home with ample space, toys, books, games for entire family, within walking distance to the beach, and four mile drive to all shopping needs. The reason for the three star rating given in the "clean house" question was because when we arrived we noticed dog hair in the living area. We contacted the host and immediately the next day the cleaning service arrived and cleaned it. We were refunded the cleaning fee. Mougeh is very caring and responsive to her guests's needs.

This place was a breath of fresh air. I've noticed a trend on AirBNB of rentals that are obviously flipped investment properties with no character and no evidence of life: this place is the opposite! Charming, comfortable, with hosts who actually know the area and live in the area. This is a great family option when visiting the surrounding Hudson Valley towns. I hope I can get back here soon!

Lovely airbnb with lots of fun amenities (ping pong, darts, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor sunroom). perfect weekend getaway in nature! would def recommend

A quick weekend girls trip. We enjoyed the outside space, porch, corn hole and view. Beds and couch were comfy. Would stay again!

Loved the beautiful mountain views through the large windows or while enjoying the full sized deck. Three large bedrooms were great accommodations for our three couples. Very clean, very roomy and homey feel with lots of attention to the details that make for a smooth stay, Great kitchen facilities - meals were easy. Lots of “hanging out “ space perfect for spending relaxing time together. Loved playing the old vinyl records and board games. Key cabin location enables rapid access to so many activities and sites to see. So happy we chose the Fratt Lodge. We cant wait to come back!

Tracie and Sean were very friendly. The house was very clean and well organized. Loved it!

Danny and Lisa were great hosts! Me and my husband enjoyed our babymoon in this relaxing and quiet location. The views are stunning and it was nice to be surrounded by nature! The place was so clean and beautiful. We would definitely love to return for another relaxing weekend to recharge :)

FENCED. YARD!! Apart from the clean, spacious, well appointed home, the yard was the best part. And it wasn’t just boring and flat and grassy-think boulders for climbing and jumping, hills for racing, “secret passageways” for exploring. Just be prepared to look for ticks. Clearly an excellent choice for families with children, and our dog loved it most. The home has lots of character, good books to read, games for passing time. While venturing out for hikes, we enjoyed the views along the windy roads with charming homes and mountain scenery. The kitchen had so many pots and pans and plenty of dishes. Lillian was always responsive and quick. Good choice for a peaceful getaway.
