Welcome to Wagging Tails! If you are looking for a large, gracious home with resort amenities, this is it!
This home offers the very best of everything. So well positioned, you can be at a Bethel Woods concert in minutes or dining lakeside in the blink of an eye in White Lake. But it would be equally easy to stay home by the pool or enjoy a game of tennis right here with every amenity at your fingertips.
The house has three levels, all with large, gracious, light-filled rooms. While architecturally, it keeps its details and flows; it has been updated with beautiful bathrooms and a kitchen that will delight even the most demanding chef.
THE KITCHEN & MEALS
Meals and beverages are hassle-free. The kitchen has every professional appliance or device to enable any culinary endeavor. For the less adventurous, a great dinner cooked by one of the area's super-talented chefs is just 10 minutes in any direction. Our guidebook has excellent suggestions! Or pack a picnic and head to the woods for a meal under the tree canopy. For cocktails, the living room holds our special Upstate Place, 'All In Good Taste Libation Station,' a non-alcoholic, fun, full bar and cocktail tray set up to get any stay off to a marvelous start.
FAMILY & FUN
Like all Upstate Place properties, this home has a crib, highchair, baby bath, etc., to make the smallest guest's stay welcoming and easy. This home is particularly suited for children, not just because of the pool and ball game opportunities but also because of the abundance of nature right on the property. A long walk or a short stroll can offer berry picking, bird watching, apple sampling, and any number of deer encounters. Further afield, a short drive takes the family to the Kartrite Indoor Water Park and Resort. The house provides well for all activities: picnic blankets for outdoor meals, drink flasks for hiking and walks, snacks for nibbles, and propane and firewood for outdoor living.
Ideally, the house would suit a family, a group, or multiple couples vacationing together.

PLEASE NOTE:
As this house has 3 levels, accessing the upper and lower floors may not be suitable for those who need help with steps/stairs.
This house is in a rural environment surrounded by countryside, farms, and wildlife. While 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.
Please respect all our house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
