Stissing Lake House

The Main House

A hundred-year-old Victorian, filled with the things we love

Six bedrooms dressed in antiques collected over generations, a kitchen built for people who love to cook, and a wraparound porch that looks straight down the lawn to Stissing Lake.

The kitchen

A cook's kitchen, with a view

Our host has spent two decades writing about chefs and restaurants, and it shows: a six-burner Jade Range, a dishwasher, coffee makers for every habit, and a charcoal grill on the terrace.

Living & dining

Room for everyone to spread out

A living room, family room, reading nook and a formal dining room that seats fourteen. Board games, a library of books and a pellet stove in the family room for cool evenings.
