Notes from the host
Spacious Lakeside Retreat in Narrowsburg
Welcome to Jay’s Big Sky, an elegant, spacious, home on the water. This property is the perfect place to rest by the lakeshore, hang and play with family, and explore the chic little town of Narrowsburg, which is just 2 minutes away by car. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. For winter fun, those of you who like to ski, the house is only 17 miles from Ski Big Bear, Masthope Mountain, which is a great local family resort with 18 trails, 7 lifts and 3 Magic Carpet lifts.
With a large modern kitchen, dining for 10, and plentiful fireside seating, the main level offers expansive water views and a spacious gathering spot for family and friends. Also on this level are the three bedrooms and all three bathrooms.
The principal bedroom has water views from the king size bed, its own seating and work area, and a private bathroom. A glass slider gives direct access to the deck. The second bedroom, with a queen size bed, also enjoys a lake view. Across the hall, the third bedroom faces south towards the apple trees, and is perfect for bird watching.
Two additional bathrooms are on this floor; one with a shower/bathtub combo and a third which serves as a powder room for the common spaces.
Downstairs is a dream entertainment space. Whatever you would like to do to relax is available. Table tennis/ping pong, darts, a pool table, and exercise equipment, can all be enjoyed as well as a large screen television, tons of lounging options, and perhaps most importantly, plenty of spare space for little ones to run around and play during those times when they can’t be outdoors. There’s even a quiet room off to the side where a squishy sofa begs for a good book or a nap.
Outside, the lake takes center stage. At 27 acres but with less than 20 properties surrounding it, this quiet lake is a wildlife refuge, with plenty of eagles, falcons, fish and small furry creatures calling it home. A large lawn separates the deck from water`s edge, and a shallow lead-in gives plenty of opportunity for safely cooling off in the water.
The deck itself has loungers and a dining table, and is adjoined by a lower-level patio, with more seating and a hammock. A nearby fire pit is there for evening enjoyment.
Narrowsburg offers boutiques, bars, restaurants and many summer festivals. Only two minutes away, it’s close enough for morning coffee, lazy lunches, and evening drinks. For the more adventurous, Narrowsburg is situated on the Delaware river, which is well known for tubing and the multitudes of wildlife.
This is the perfect Sullivan County spot for family reunions, friendly get togethers, or even quiet couples time by the water.
Guest will have access to the property in its entirety.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.
ACCESSIBILITY
We are committed to making every stay accessible and comfortable for everyone. We offer a variety of accessibility accessories, including ramps, shower seats, chairs etc. available at no charge. Please contact us, and we’ll gladly provide a link to where you can request these items.
Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.
Pets: This property only allows dogs.
Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. We do keep emergency supplies at the house, and, of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.
Weather: During the winter months there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” or more accumulation but we cannot guarantee an exact time for the plowing as the crews are often unreachable and out of cell service areas for much of the day.
This house has a steep / and or long driveway and extra caution is warranted. Please allow extra time when departing. Upstate Place does supply snow shovels and pet-friendly salt at each of our properties for extra safety.
Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.
Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go beyond both Airbnbs General Cleaning Guidelines and Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning Process recommendations. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take a time stamped video of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Instead, should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will gladly have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being reported.
This home may have weekly lawn and trash services as well as monthly pest control service. Service providers may access the exterior front yard and back yard during your stay to ensure the home is properly maintained.
Additional Fees: Depending on their requirements, guests will be subject to the following additional fees
Dog Fee - $100 per pet per stay
Hot tubs - no additional charge
Upon booking, guests will be provided with a guidebook which will list all house rules, access information, wifi access, along with recommendations for the area.
