Amazing time on the lake!!
This property was perfect for our family summer vacation! Very spacious, clean, updated and great proximity to some of the towns, wineries and breweries! The lake was quiet and clean, great for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing etc. Walkens Glen is not far which offers some good hiking. The property was also flat which is tough to find along the lakes, and is helpful for older people in the party. Plenty of parking. I could not have asked for anything better! You will not be disappointed with your stay here!!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Matkosky

Host profile image
Built by our grandparents when our Mom and her twin sister were just in their teens, this home is filled with a lifetime of special memories. Lifelong family bonds, over 5 generations, have been forged with our siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, grandparents, extended family and friends during those endless days of summer magic.
Many of us continue to travel from far and wide to come back to the lake each year, providing our families with the opportunity to create ongoing priceless memories.

Why they chose this property

Our Waneta lake house has been the site of many fun-filled family gatherings and offers an escape from the every day hectic pace of daily life. The house has been expanded and updated over the past several years to provide a space where you can truly sit back and relax. The lake has a shallow, gradual slope so the kids can splash around without any hidden drop-offs. Fishermen will love fishing off the 42 foot dock! Enjoy evenings sitting by a lakeside bonfire, watching the sky explode with more stars than you could ever see back home. Most of our renters come back year after year as this is a place that is great for friends vacationing together, families celebrations or for couples looking to relax and unwind.

What makes this property unique

The house has a large, newly renovated kitchen and great room on the lower level making family gatherings, lakeside grilling and entertaining is a snap. The kitchen hosts a large wrap around counter with barstool seating, dishwasher and new appliances.

Enjoy the quiet dawn of morning sunrises from the upper balcony or patio table on the side deck. Glass balusters on the balcony railings allow a full view of the lake from the upper level living room.

The large L-shaped 42' dock has a bench seat, great for fishing or just sitting. Multiple tie downs and bumpers line the dock, should you want to bring a personal boat.

When its time to unwind from the days' adventures, recently upgraded mattresses and crisp linens will provide a great nights' sleep.

Mini-split AC / heating units are located on each level to provide comfort throughout your stay.
