Private Lakefront Cottage, Panoramic Lake Views. Fish, Row, Kayak, Pet-Friendly

Welcome to Lake Jeff Cottage, a private and cozy
pet-friendly lakefront vacation home nestled in the Catskill Mountains.

Lake Jeff Cottage is located on a small, private road in the town of Jeffersonville, New York.

Lake Jeff is a small, private, non-motorized lake where guests enjoy fishing, rowing, and kayaking from this peaceful lakefront property.

About the size of the iconic lake in Central Park, Lake Jeff offers the same intimate, storybook charm; only here, it’s private, and there's no crowds.

Like Central Park’s lake, Lake Jeff is prized for its scenic beauty, boating, fishing, and abundant wildlife rather than swimming. Its gentle, shallow waters are perfect for fishing and leisurely paddles, where you can glide quietly across the lake, watch for soaring eagles and other wildlife, and enjoy the tranquility of the Catskills.

For your enjoyment, we provide two kayaks and a rowboat during your stay.


This cozy four-bedroom, two-bath lakefront cottage invites you to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of lakeside living. From the moment you arrive, sweeping panoramic views and the peaceful rhythm of the water create a sense of calm, making it easy to relax, reconnect, and feel right at home.

is the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and create lasting memories with family and friends.

Groceries? Gas? Gifts? No problem! While you may feel secluded, Lake Jeff Cottage is conveniently located just one scenic mile up the creek from the town of Jeffersonville.

Jeffersonville is a charming small town with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a warm sense of community.
While quaint in size, you’ll find a surprising variety of local conveniences, including a supermarket, casual restaurants, bar, bakery, pizzeria, an amazing diner, ice cream shop, café, gift shop, gas station, and salon, among other services.

We encourage our guests to take a stroll through town, support the local businesses, and experience the friendly character that makes Jeffersonville such a special part of the Catskills.

Accessibility & Safety Considerations:

One of the things guests love most about Lake Jeff Cottage is its unique hillside setting overlooking the lake.

Built into the natural landscape, the cottage’s multi-level design, natural stone terraces, and elevated position create sweeping panoramic lake views throughout the property and offer a truly one-of-a-kind lakeside experience.

Because of the unique setting, and varying levels of elevation, there are numerous unenclosed terraces, stairs, steps, and natural stone surfaces. The grounds surrounding the cottage may contain uneven stones, gaps, and changes in elevation that could present tripping and fall hazards.

Due to these conditions, the property may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues, young children, or those seeking a flat, fully enclosed outdoor space or wide open fields.

Guests assume responsibility for navigating the property safely and are advised to exercise caution throughout their stay.
