The space:
This beautiful chalet in Copake Lake has everything you need for a fun and relaxing getaway. The home is a 3 minute walk to Copake Lake. Rainy day? No problem... because there is an indoor lap pool, where you can lounge or do some laps against the generated current.

The Home:
When you walk into the house, you enter the great room, which has soaring ceilings and stunning wood beams. The great room has huge windows overlooking the garden in the front yard. It also has sliding doors that lead to the wrap-around deck. The kitchen and dining areas are an extension of the great room, with an open concept design that will allow you and your guests to spend time together regardless of whether you are cooking, eating, or cozying up by the gas fire place which lights up with the push of a button. The great room also leads into a screened-in porch, which allows you to enjoy lounging or dining outdoors in any weather. The screened-in porch includes a lounging area and dining area, and opens up to sections of the open deck.

There are 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom is very large and includes a king size bed, work station, sitting area, and en suite bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi hot tub. The primary bedroom is upstairs, just past the loft living space. Guest room #1 is on the main floor and includes a queen size bed, work station, and pool view with sliding doors that lead to the pool area. Guest room #2 is on the main floor and includes a queen size bed, a standard size toddler bed, baby changing table, and a pool view with sliding doors that lead to the pool area. Guest rooms #1 and #2 share a full bathroom on the main floor with a standard tub/shower.

On the top floor, before entering the primary bedroom, there is a loft area, which has a sleeper sofa that can be turned into a full size bed. If not being used as additional sleeping space, the loft area is a TV/game room where you can watch movies on the smart TV or play board games with the family from our game collection.

Downstairs, there is a newly renovated walkout basement with an additional sleeping nook that has a queen size bed, a living room with a sectional sofa and a smart TV, a work station, an exercise/meditation area with yoga mats, weights, meditation cushions, and other equipment, and a children's area with toys. The renovated walkout basement has a full bathroom with a standing shower, and large windows/sliding doors that look out into the front yard. The home easily sleeps 8 adults (or 10 with the option of using the pull out couch in the loft). We also have two twin air mattresses upon request and a Pack 'n Play.

Outdoor space:
The property is 3 acres. The front of the property is a garden with grass. The back of the property is all woods. There is a wrap-around deck with multiple sitting and dining areas, and a screened-in porch to enjoy lounging and dining outside in any weather. There is a fire pit with Adirondack chairs (extra camping chairs available) in the backyard woods. There are hammocks throughout the property on the deck and in the garden.

Family accessibility:
This home is well-equipped for infants and toddlers with the following: baby gates for main stair case (available upon request), Pack 'n Play, baby monitor, a standard toddler bed and changing table in guest room #2, toys, books, a standard highchair, and booster seat. We have a toddler and remember how difficult it was to travel with her as a baby, so we want to make this as convenient as possible for you! Safety note for children: the doors to the pool area from the bedrooms should always be locked when there are children in the home and it is not in use.

Lake Access:
The house has communal access to Copake Lake. There is a shared swimming dock and you will also be able to use two kayaks and one paddle board. The lake is down the street and the communal area is a 3 min walk from the house.

Activities for every season:
Summers are a dream at the lake. In the Fall you can visit farms for apple picking and endless nearby hiking trails for foliage viewing. Winters are perfect for snow activities such as sledding and Skiing (Catamount Ski Resort is 15 minutes away) or for being cozy by the fire (indoor & outdoor) with a hot drink and book. In every season, you’ll have the option of swimming in the indoor pool. Some of our favorite parks and trails include: Roeliff Jansen Park in Hillsdale (10 minutes), Bash Bish Falls in Copake Falls (12 minutes), and Taconic State Park (10 minutes). There is a massive lake beach 15 minutes away for beach days at Lake Taghkanic. In the Spring, Summer, and Fall, the Copake/Hillsdale Farmers Market is on Saturday mornings and you don't want to miss that! There are convenient stores located 5 minutes away in Craryville and other places to grab some quick groceries within 10 minutes (Random Harvest, and Hillsdale IGA). Copake Lake Country club is just a few minutes away, where you could enjoy an amazing meal or drink on their terrace, golf, or rent a boat for the day to enjoy on the lake.
