This is a gorgeous property located near Minnewaska State Park, the Angry Orchards Cidery, and Robibero Winery. It was the perfect home base for our family vacation. We loved the modern amenities, stylish architecture, and spacious kitchen for cooking our meals. It was great to be surrounded by nature. We rowed one of the boats on the lake, and there weren’t any bugs in the middle of July - just thousands of poliwogs, along with some frogs and turtles. There was no TV in the living room, which meant the family spent more time socializing, playing board games, and hiking outside. We enjoyed watching the heavy downpours in the evening. Our father uses a cane, and it was important that there was a bedroom and full bath on the main level of the house. The beds were very comfortable, and rooms were very quiet with the doors shut. The exterior had a few hazards for very small children, but the youngest of our family is 7 - supervision is necessary anyway due to the lake. We had a weather related issue on the first day that the VRBO team was able to resolve for us, and they were very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend staying at Sparkling Waters to get closer to nature.
