Lake house vacation rentals in Bantam Lake

Absolutely Magical Stay! I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. The highlight, hands down, was the serene lake right in the backyard—waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee with that view felt like a dream. We especially loved the complimentary kayaks! Paddling around the lake during sunset was pure magic—calm waters, golden skies, and total tranquility. It felt like our own private retreat away from the world. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and super cozy. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a relaxing solo getaway, or a fun adventure with friends, this place is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Very peaceful getaway from the city. About an hour and a half drive from Manhattan. Place was clean, quiet, and retro. Loved getting to take the row boat out around the lake and listen to vinyl records all while being surrounded by nature. Owners were very helpful and responsive.

The loft was lovely: fireplace, large balcony, view down the mountain, TV with airplay support, kitchen, etc. the surrounding was quiet and peaceful. The host was responsive and very friendly. Would recommend to others.

The house was exactly as listed. Our group was two adults and 3 kids. The kitchen had what we needed to cook meals, bake cookies and make milkshakes. The beds were comfy. The showers were hot with good water pressure for all. We would stay here again!

Home had a beautiful view of the lake! Everything was spotless on arrival. Couldn’t have asked for more for a weekend getaway in CT!

Our stay was great! Hike in the morning and Caitlin’s place was the perfect place to end the day! Wonderful views of the frozen lake - even took a stroll on it! Town of Hudson/Catskills was just a quick drive away. Great place overall!!

Our stay included spending family time in front of the fireplace watching Disney shows and with time spent enjoying meals around the cozy kitchen table. Enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back one day

We could not have had a better host and an idyllic venue. Zuhair could not have been any more attentive and accommodating. The house was perfect for our two weeks stay. The property is clean, comfortable and very well equipped and if a guest needs any information about the house or the area then Zuhair is very knowledgeable. After a couple of days away in NYC it really felt like we were coming home when we returned to the house. We cannot praise the house or the host enough.

Enjoyed a perfect 4 night stay on Candlewood Isle with our family. We loved the house’s amazing lake views with full windows! Great spaces to relax and nice tucked away corners for quiet also. The mattresses were extra comfortable! Easily accessible to local towns for good dining. We would absolutely stay here again when in the area. Smooth seamless stay!

Jake’s place was easy to find and in a beautiful location. We were 25 mins away from Mohawk mountain which made for a perfect getaway. The kitchen was well stocked and the living space was comfortable. It was a little draughty in the evenings but there were blankets and an open fire to make for a cozy night in.

Amazing home , comfortable felt at home view was so pretty to watch the sun set. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a home where you want to feel at peace and free and relaxed.

great spot on a hill in a neat town. there are a few great restaurants within walking distance. view of Mahopac lake which gets busy at times quiet at others. downside very small access point for kayak only. there is a boat rental place right there if you wanted to rent a party boat. we visited NYC by car without issue about 1hr drive in. I found an amazing bike path "rail trail " passes right through the little center also. overallgreat place. very comfortable house. record player and views set the mood for a special stay!

Jessi's place was exactly as described. It was cute and cozy and perfect for what we needed. Jessi responded to any questions quickly and was very clear in any and all instructions. The neighborhood was peaceful and the house was very easy to find. We will definitely be staying again!

This place was great. A perfect getaway with its own beach and close to all the CT small towns. We only wish it had been later in the season to be able to take advantage of the lake.

Had a great stay at Lisa’s home! Perfect size for a small family. The streets were a little narrow so we didn’t quite feel comfortable walking the neighborhood, but the surroundings were beautiful and it was very quiet and seemed safe. Lisa’s home was stocked with anything we may have needed, and felt like home away from home. It’s off the beaten path a bit, but there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and places to explore just a short drive away. Lisa was protective and communicative throughout our stay.

We had a lovely stay here! Hector was incredibly helpful and responsive and very friendly. Big thanks to Hector for making our weekend so smooth and enjoyable.

Beautiful location, clean and comfortable stay. Even saw some deer running across the frozen lake!

Winter wonderland in the Berkshires. Enjoyed the snow storm with family while sitting by the fire and drinking coffee. Snow plow cleared driveway for us. Butternut ski area was about 40 minute drive. Matt communicated well during our stay. Would definitely come back again.

My reservation at another property was mysteriously cancelled 3 days before my family's wedding. After 24 hours of back and forth with Airbnb, Mary saved the day and worked with myself and airbnb to get me rebooked into her amazing family home. She was an angel!

We chose this location for a peaceful family Thanksgiving weekend & we got exactly what we wanted. The home was quaint and clean. The lake was just beautiful. I loved having my morning coffee sitting on the couch overlooking the peaceful, quiet lake. My son brought his waders and ventured into the water to explore. We made s’mores at the outdoor fire pit & loved just hanging around the fire for family time. The neighborhood was so quiet, it felt like we were all alone! We Disconnected and enjoyed nature! It was just wonderful!

The place was incredibly beautiful. The photos did not do it justice. It is in the middle of nowhere. Tina was very detailed in her instruction and one of them was that you must bring groceries because the closest grocery store is 30 minutes away. If you decide to book this place, read her detailed instructions. They are very helpful. The home offered a full kitchen which made it so easy for us to prepared our family's meals without struggling. The hot tub was such a treat. The basement had lots of games, a couch to launch and another TV. Perfect if you come with children. We were seven adults and we did not feel that we where on top of each other. The high ceiling truly made one of our boys (the giant) feel at home. Even the basement had a high ceiling. Pretty cool. Tina was incredibly nice and flexible. Check in is at 4 pm and we arrived earlier. We decided to contact her to see if it would be okay to check in earlier and she accommodated us. Thank you soooo much.

Erin’s home was a tranquil getaway for us situated and the most darling river and dam. It was warm and cozy and Erin was incredibly attentive and responsive.

Nice secluded area with nice scenery. We enjoyed the countryside and nearby forest. Davis’ house was comfortable and cozy.

Couldn’t recommend Tonya’s place enough. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchen although we didn’t do much cooking. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Stunning location overlooking the lake. Will definitely stay here again.
