This gorgeous log and stone house with big open rooms overlooks a private lake in the protected, cool, high forest of the Sedgewood Club, but you can drive or train to mid-town Manhattan in 1 ¼ hours or visit the historic attractions of the Hudson River Valley.

Each room opens onto the house-long stone porch. The upstairs offers two more bedrooms with views of the lake or woods. Wood floors and walls throughout. An adjacent, charming guesthouse has its own lake views and stone porch, bathroom, kitchen and fireplace. Swim, canoe or take a rowboat from a private beach. Good country walks start out the door.
