About this home

Once known as the Honeymoon Cottage of Stamford’s grand Rexmere Hotel, this storybook Victorian on Rexmere Lake comes with a little piece of Catskills history and a property unlike anything else around. With its steeply pitched roof, stone chimney, decorative gables and welcoming front porch, the house still has the romantic character that earned it its name. Set at the edge of Rexmere Lake, it feels tucked away and wonderfully connected to the landscape, with water just outside the door and remnants of Stamford’s resort-era past all around it. But there’s much more here than a beautiful old house. The property spans two lots, creating an unusual combination of residential, waterfront and commercial possibilities. The second lot includes a commercial garage space, offering room for a business, workshop, studio, storage or whatever comes next. The Rexmere Hotel may be gone, but its Honeymoon Cottage remains. A distinctive piece of Stamford history with a setting, story and collection of possibilities that would be nearly impossible to recreate today. Come for the cottage. Stay for the lake. And imagine what you could do with everything else.
