About this house rental

Situated in Sharon, this attractive house for $288 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Inside Our Cabin (Central Air and Heat) We have a modern kitchen with a stainless steel dishwasher, fridge and range, Nespresso and traditional coffee makers, toaster and microwave ovens, as well as cutlery, dinnerware and serving/cooking utensils and pots and pans. We provide some staples such tea, coffee, pasta, and soups. The kitchen has a sunrise view of Indian Mountain. In the spacious living room, there's a big, beautiful window overlooking Indian Lake with a sunset view. We have a comfy couch and 2 club chairs with ottomans to relax and watch the birds flying by. There is a large, stone coffee table perfect for doing jigsaw puzzles or playing board games (we have an assortment available). The 54" TV has cable, an Amazon Fire Stick, Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime with excellent wifi connectivity and a portable Bluetooth speaker to listen to tunes. We also have a cordless landline phone. The room is decorated with a cottagey mix of original watercolors by a nationally renowned artist and local thrift store treasures. At night, you can have the convenience and ambiance of our electric fireplace with thermostat and LED lights. Use the Barska Professional Spotting Scope or the binoculars to see clear across the lake. For sleeping accommodations, there are two pocket door adjoining bedrooms (one with a queen bed and the other with two twins). For extra comfort, we have memory foam mattress toppers and dressers and hooks available for storage of your belongings. There is a blue tooth speaker light bulb in the twin bedroom. Charge you phones and tablets with the USB charging stations in all night stands. Bed linens included. Our bathroom has been completely remodeled. New tile, floors, vanity, medicine cabinet and toilet were put in. There is a stand up shower with plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairdryer and straightener included. The house is thoroughly cleaned by expert cleaners according to CDC guidelines after each guest stay. Outside - This is What You're Coming For The long yard has direct sun almost all day and you can relax while fishing on the pier or sunbathing/yoga on the dock. If you prefer, you can sit under a shady tree in our Adirondack chairs with plush cushions and enjoy the view. We have direct access to private, resident only Indian Lake. There is a brand new floating dock to enter the lake with non motorized boats. The lake is swimmable, but you can not enter directly from our property to swim. You will need to kayak out to a swim dock. We have a canoe and 2 kayaks available as well as a gas BBQ, lawn games, 2 bicycles, fishing poles, and a fire pit. There is parking for up to 4 cars. Although we are directly on the road, you'll hardly notice it with all of the outdoor beauty on the other side of the house. At night, the Milky Way is so brilliant, you won't believe your eyes. Private and beautiful - the perfect combo. We have many forest friends who come to visit including beavers, foxes, red squirrels, chipmunks, osprey, ducks, turkeys, deer, swans, geese, and keep your eyes peeled for the great, grey heron. You may even be lucky enough to see our most famous resident, the bald eagle. Be on the look out for the Indian Lake Monster AKA Indy. Day Trips Winter at Yellow Hook holds it's own special charms. There are several ski resorts a short drive away. Mohawk, Catamount and Butternut Mountains are nearby for day or night skiing. Ski all day and return to the cabin for apres ski. If the cold holds, our lake freezes solid and offers the opportunity for ice fishing. We are 1 mile from the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, 1/4 mile away from hiking on Indian Mountain via the Sharon Land Trust, and nearby to the Sharon Audubon Society and Appalachian Trail. There is seasonal auto racing at Lime Rock in Salisbury or the 4 Brothers Drive-In movie theater in Amenia. We are close to award winning restaurants, local hot spots, rustic Colonial inns, and The Edward, our favorite place to relax with a glass of wine. All of these fantastic spots are within a 20 minute drive. There are weekly Farmer's Markets in Millerton and Amenia, farm stands, antique stores, and the Sharon Playhouse to while away your bucolic days. So if you're looking for the perfect get away from everything where you can relax and do nothing, connect with nature and enjoy small town New England - Yellow Hook is your place to be.

I was looking for a quiet getaway after busy holiday mom mode. They have Nespresso pods and other nice touches which were a pleasant surprise. The outdoor space is really cute. They have a picnic table and fire pit and even some art incorporated into the outdoor space! Highly recommend.

Being from the area and no longer owning a home in Sharon the cottage was perfect. It provided all the comforts of home. The setting right on Indian lake was relaxing. Wish the weather had been more cooperative however, being down in the area for a high school reunion left little time for activities. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and I definitely will be booking for future stays to visit relatives.

I can't say enough about the property and the property owner! The lake house was exactly as described and the "workings" of the property were well outlined in a binder. Despite rainy weather all 3 days, we had the most relaxing, comfortable stay. We brought along our little " Daisy" dog, so we did not do any sight seeing, but the view out the back was all we needed!!!! Close enough in CT, that we can't wait to book another weekend . Special thanks to our hosts, for the welcome note and gift, and for immediately responding to our silly questions!! It was hard going back home. Some words of advice, however many days you are planning, book one or 2 more. You wont be sorry! Noelle, Alan and Daisy-Mae

We had a great stay here. We were looking for a spot where we could relax and enjoy the final days of summer and this was the perfect place - it was so quiet and peaceful. We spent most of our time enjoying the lake, using the provided fishing gear and kayaks/paddleboard. The hosts were great with communication leading up to our visit. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful spot to recharge.

I wanted a peaceful place surrounded by nature to work remotely for a week and this was perfect! A friend came with and the size of the cabin was great for us and very well appointed. And the setting is simply amazing. Right on Indian Lake with kayaks and a canoe which we put to good use. Perfect spot to watch the sunset from the Adirondack chairs or eat meals at the picnic table. There are hiking trails all over but a very nice one right across the street. The NW corner of Connecticut is so beautiful and this was a perfect home base for the week.

We had such a great time here! The host was very available and answered any questions in a very timely manner. The house is adorable and comfortable for the two of us. We chose this one because it came with all the "stuff" for Lake Life! Fishing poles, kayaks, paddle board...we had so much fun enjoying the lake without having to pack a bunch of stuff. We will definitely be back.
