Holiday 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!

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!

fantastic host and super helpful whenever we had questions. my wife left her iPad there and they mailed it back. verry appreciative of that. first time using a wood fired sauna- I was skittish at first, but it was a great amenity. hot tub was clean and worked well as well. would definitely recommend if you're eyeing a rustic retreat.

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!

We loved it and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate our Anniversary. Peaceful, clean and such amazing views of the Lake! Would definitely stay here again. Great food in the area as well.

Lovely place great location near short beach and an easy walk to a great Italian restaurant
