Located in scenic Sullivan County, two hours north of NYC, Lake Huntington Summer Community has been a warm weather redoubt for generations of city dwellers looking for a fun, relaxing, affordable vacation.

Since it was established 40 years ago as a cooperative three-season community of 50+ families, LHSC has been the training ground for hundreds of children as they learned for the first time to ride two-wheelers, swim underwater, dive and play on their own.

Set on 17 acres of beautiful wooded grounds for shade and open fields for sun, the property is ideal for play (and benign neglect), set up with a small road going around the perimeter so that it is safe for the kids to freely run around outdoors without worry about cars.

The community sports a big swimming pool with full time lifeguard and a gated shallow end for younger children, a beautiful lake for swimming, boating, fishing, two tennis courts, woods to roam, baseball field and basketball court, a playground, zipline, tree houses, and sand box.

Most importantly, LHSC’s multi-generational community plays host to a revolving cast of fun-loving kids, from toddlers to teens to adult children (you know who you are!). If you do have children it's a unique opportunity to have them happily and safely occupied while you nap on a chaise, socialize or, perchance, sit and read a book.

We love our bungalow colony and want you to as well. It’s retro (as in salsa and potlucks) and communal (most owners live in NYC so we’re used to schmoozing). You can take or leave the many activities such as pot luck dinners, talent shows, movie night, game night, pool, lake and field days, dances, bonfires, sing-a-longs, and spooky nights.

Whatever your tolerance level for socializing, Lake Huntington is a wonderful place to unwind as well as a perfect locale for extended family reunions and starting point for area fieldtrips. Rule of thumb: July is sleepier, August is teeming.

Our bungalows vary in size and style from smaller apartment units to large stand-alone houses. They are not fancy as a rule but they are comfortable and nicely furnished. Almost everyone has a deck for outdoor grilling and dining. Most of the units are TV-free but many have internet access and visitors are able to telecommute as needed to lengthen their vacation time.

Happy Trails!
