Enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, or just relaxing. Unwind and recharge in a peaceful environment at this three seasons rustic island cottage on Whaley Lake in southeastern Dutchess County. Park your car in a large private lot and take your boat for a 5 minute ride to this semi-secluded cottage with a spectacular view of the undeveloped eastern shore of the lake. The cottage sits directly on the eastern shore of the island with a large open deck. There are easy steps to your own private waterfront area with a fixed wooden dock and an attached 20' floating aluminum dock. The waterfront and large porch are both great places to watch both the sun and moon rise. A 14' utility boat with motor is included in the purchase. This one-level cottage is completely furnished with updated appliances. It has a spacious great room with a cathedral ceiling and a terrific large screened porch overlooking the lake. There is a cozy wood stove for taking the chill off in the early spring and late fall. Both the kitchen and bathroom have been updated. Whaley Lake is a private lake and the largest in Dutchess County. It is about 75 miles north of NYC (just minutes from Interstate 84 exit 17 or route 55). The lake is renown for fishing and has ice fishing in the winter. With the purchase of this cottage, you become a member of an island association whose 16 members jointly own the island, the parking lot and a boat landing property in equal shares.
