Lives in New York, New York
My husband and I live in Orange County, New York, and have always loved the Catskills — hiking, exploring, and enjoying lake life. With our children now grown, we’ve been able to focus more on hosting. We began on Airbnb in 2012 and truly enjoy welcoming guests. Silver Lake House is a place we care deeply about, and we’re happy to share it with those who appreciate a peaceful lakeside retreat.
