Kashmir on the lake Catskills Hunter, NY
Why Kashmir on the lake? in 2004 the house was built by a local husband and wife who were dedicated to having their grandchildren enjoy this special place in the Catskills. The family decided to move south and listed the home to rent occasionally - especially for the music festival Mountain Jam in Hunter . Robert Plant stayed in the house while performing at Mountain Jam! Enjoy Kashmir on the lake only 1 mile from the mountain and close to restaurants/shopping. *Photos by Chris & Pam Daniele*
