Large Family House On The Lake

Spacious, beautiful, and entertaining lakehouse, ideal for a large family but also warm for a couple. Situated on a road-accessible island in the gorgeous Upper Greenwood Lake, this lakehouse offers a private retreat to enjoy nature, stunning views, and quality time with family and friends. Fun relax in both summer and winter at only 1 hour from NYC. West Milford Lic No. 2023-008.

A video showing the house inside space is available on YouTube by searching largefamilyhouseonthelake

This Lakehouse has several entertaining areas including a large and fully equipped kitchen, a game table in the living room, a long balcony overlooking the lake with table and chairs, a Jacuzzi in the master bedroom, living and family rooms on different floors, each one with its own wood-burning fireplace, smart TV, and couch for two simultaneous entertainment environments.

OUTDOOR entertainment areas in the property include a large BBQ patio overlooking the lake with a charcoal grill and a large table with chairs, a sunbathing deck next to the lake with a 5-person HOT TUB for whole-body massages, and a large FIRE PIT near the water. Firewood is available.

This house sits on a mountain at the heart of North Jersey Highlands and is surrounded by its many unique natural attractions including several famous hiking trails like the Appalachian Trail and several public lakes where guests can enjoy a variety of sports. Wawayanda State Park is only 10 min from the house and is a high-rated destination for beach swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Our neighboring "Greenwood Lake" offers power boat and jet-ski rentals.

Guests are NOT allowed to use the LAKE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, as per the Lake Association rules. Several nearby public lakes offer swimming and boating opportunities.

Other attractions in the area include hiking trails, apple-picking farms, ski resorts, Mountain Creek Waterpark, and Warwick's fine restaurants. The JW World Headquarters is a 20-min drive from the house.

Nice setting but house is not clean
The lake is beautiful but the house was not very clean. And a little run down. The house has what you need but a little soap and water would go a long way!!

Beautiful lakefront property
We stayed at this VRBO due to the fact of the large amount of people that could stay at the property we were in town for work. There were nine of us. The property was able to accommodate all of us comfortably. The views are amazing the lakefront. The property is nice and clean and the amenities were a plus I would recommend this place to everyone.

Hidden camera in Amazon box from interior window facing hot tub -weird. Other then that good.
There was an Amazon box with cancelled camera in interior room facing hot tub. This was concerning. The home was well appointed and had all amenities included for stay. Master bedroom had used wash clothes and soaps and sink need to be cleaned…just an oversight from prior guest. It was over all very clean. Nice neighborhood and if can address hidden cameras in hot tub area consider staying.

Ladies Lake Escape
A group of ladies all in desperate need of an escape found Jose's home to be easy to get to, clean, well stocked and just what we needed to gather and relax from nibbling around the kitchen island, crashing on the couch in front of the fire or soaking in the hot tub or master bath jetted tub. Beds really comfy. Sheets, blankets, towels clean and well stocked for larger groups. Jose remained a message away for any questions or needs and provided easy check in info including double checking we were aware of slightly tricky but manageable parking. I've stayed at many VRBO listings, Jose's and his home are 5 stars. Did not want to leave!

Pleasant stay at Lake House
Flew from California to our son’s wedding and rented this property for three nights. The house is perfect for a family of 8-10 if you don’t mind sharing bunk beds. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and share a nice meal with the whole family. The property has nice amenities, however we were so busy with wedding that could not enjoy them,

Thanksgiving on at the LakeHouse
The house was perfect for what we needed. All the kitchen utensils and equipment needed to prepare thanksgiving dinner were available. The views of the lake from the multilevel home were amazing. The house is equipped with indoor and outdoor fireplaces which we used outside near the lake. Even though it was chilly we took advantage of the hot tub and fireplaces. The main kitchen level does have a lower ceiling in the laundry and half bath which wasn’t an issue but thought it was important to mention for guests taller than 6’5+.

Peace on the lake
The entire process couldn’t have been easier. Jose is such a thoughtful host as the house is so well appointed. We forgot to bring coffee, but no worries. He had coffee there. The kitchen is fully stocked and the best part for me was not having to pack our own linens. Such a pleasure to not pack bulky towels, blankets and sheets. The house is also well located with boat rentals, wineries, etc nearby. We can’t wait to return.

Lovely home with no lake access
House was well equipped, and had a lovely view and is near many beautiful lakes and trails. My fault for not understanding that you could not access the lake the house was on before booking - there were even lake monitors. It was also a little confusing when trying to leave and pack up that the owner showed up.

Lake "Oasis"
For our weekend lake getaway we wanted lakefront comfort and found it in this large, well-equipped multi-level house. Our experience was positive from booking to departure. Jose is an experienced host and all you need to bring is food & bev for a delightful respite. We wanted to bring the family together and there was plenty of room to relax, read, enjoy an evening fire, and share meals in a large comfortable, well-lit dining area with a gorgeous view of the lake and hills beyond. There are plenty of bedrooms and the master is large with a modern, renovated en suite. We enjoyed a weekend afternoon walking through and dining in Warwick, a short drive away. Also a short trip to a choice of markets. When we had a small issue Jose was very responsive. Thanks for a great weekend, we will see you again!

Beautiful location just be aware no lake access
We enjoyed this tri-level home with views for days! stocked kitchen, plenty of paper goods, towels (even for hot tub), TV in both living areas, A/C control on each floor- they work quickly, clean hot tub, lots of outdoor seating, and great area for morning and evening walks. Did I mention the views, from the hot tub, living room, master bed and bathroom! We did not spend the majority of our 4 day weekend at the house (visiting family and a special event). Some of the important things to know when renting here: there is NO lake access for swimming/boating here. You have to drive to neighboring lakes for those activities. Also if you or someone in your party is over 5’ 10” be aware the ceilings are low!! My brother in law hit his head multiple times, 2 of my nephews also hit their heads. Mostly coming down the stairs or using the bathroom on the first floor.

Great water views but we wont go back
The location and the water views are great, and the firepit is the best feature. However, the house was not clean, the bathrooms had hair and dust and the floors were very sticky. One day, the temperature reached 91 so the third floor got really hot. We contacted Jose regarding the AC, he replied an hour later recommending us to open the windows since the AC wasn't ready as it wasn't summer yet. So make sure you inquiry about the AC before you go. We couldn't sleep on those rooms that night (the thermostat showed 94). The hot tub is a nice feature but in our case, the water never got hot (it was more like lukewarm temperature). We talked to Jose about it, and he said he had set it up to a certain temperature that in his opinion was hot enough. I think the guests should be able to set the tub to the temperature they want. I have rented other VRBO properties and i had never had the owner or host of the house knock on the door at 11:00 am to check things out. So make sure you are ready to leave on time! But I guess that's a way to confirm the guests check out on time. I took the opportunity to talk to Jose, and he was polite and attentive to all of our complaints. He even offer a discount for future bookings for all the issues we encountered but we I don't think we will be taking his offer.

First all girl cousins trip… AMAZING
The house was beyond our expectations. We had a great time and Jose is a awesome host. The home was well maintained and kept in perfect condition. The only heads up I will give is there is a lot of steps. (3 floors) So if anyone in your group cannot comfortably go up and down stairs, this beautiful lake house might not work for you. Other than that… definitely planning on returning next year. Thanks Jose and see you in 2023!!!!

Nice property with beautiful deck views!
Nice property right on the lake! Our weekend weather was ideal and the foliage from the deck was amazing! The house had all the starter items you could need for a long weekend - no need to shop for the basics (soap, TP...). Lots of room for a group (we had 5)! Had a great time, and got to meet Jose in person (nice guy)! My only negative is the parking - there is off road parking for 2 cars and its a hillside ledge (a little scary since you cant see the edge). Overall, it was great and would consider again.
