Discover the Serenity of a Custom-Built Lake Front Log Home in the Catskills

If you're searching for the perfect getaway that offers an idyllic blend of adventure and tranquility, look no further than our custom-built lake front log home nestled in the picturesque Catskills. Spanning six stunning lakefront acres, this charming retreat is the ideal sanctuary for those seeking privacy and an array of outdoor activities, from fishing and boating to hiking and relaxing by the water.

Key Features of the Log Home

This beautifully crafted log cabin boasts three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it perfect for families and groups. The design ensures comfort and convenience, with the upper-level bedroom featuring a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom equipped with double sinks and a shower. The main floor hosts two additional bedrooms: another queen-sized room and a unique log twin bunk bed setup, ideal for kids or extra guests. Plus, two roll-away twin beds are available for added sleeping space.

One of the standout features of the home is the expansive great room, accentuated by three French doors that provide breathtaking views of an 80-acre private lake. Step outside onto the over 1,000 square feet of wrap-around deck, which includes a large grill for summer barbecues, patio furniture for lounging, and a soothing hammock for those lazy afternoons spent soaking in the beauty of nature.

The fully equipped kitchen adds to your home-away-from-home experience, with modern appliances, granite countertops, and all the utensils necessary to whip up delicious meals after a day of adventure.

A Paradise for Outdoor Enthusiasts

The glistening lake is an outdoor wonderland, fully stocked with pickerel, bass, catfish, and panfish, making it a fisherman’s dream. Guests will have access to a variety of watercraft, including a V-hull rowboat, a five-person paddle boat, and a double kayak—all included with your rental for your enjoyment (please note that all watercraft usage is at your own risk).

For those who prefer terrestrial activities, the property boasts a private peninsula with a large dock, where you can spend hours basking in the sun or launching your next fishing expedition. In the evenings, gather around the new circular patio with a fire pit for quality time with loved ones, as you relax in Adirondack chairs and take in the serene lake views and gentle breezes.

Entertainment Options Galore

For additional entertainment, the finished basement offers a friendly competition area with couches, a foosball table, and a pool table, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy during their stay.

The location of the log home adds to your convenience, being just 20 minutes from the famed Cooperstown All Star Village in Oneonta, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and events. With multiple sports parks and fields in the area, it’s a great destination for teams and families alike.

Year-Round Retreat

This custom log home is not just a summer getaway; it’s a year-round retreat, attracting visitors throughout all four seasons. Whether it’s fall foliage hikes, winter snowshoeing, or summer lake activities, every trip promises unique experiences and lasting memories.

With reliable Fios Wi-Fi and all the comforts of home, guests can easily stay connected while enjoying the peace of their natural surroundings. As a note for potential guests, please ensure that a member of your party is at least 21 years old to check in.

Quiet Seclusion in Winter

This was a wonderful cabin located off the beaten path. If you are looking for a quiet location and a nice cabin this place is for you. Our stay was in the winter, so there were very few people around, but it was just what my friends and I were looking for.

Home away from home

We enjoyed our stay during a Cooperstown All Star village week. About 30 min drive, easy distance. Home and location is beautiful. Wildlife and nature surroundings is superb. Fishing is fantastic! You'll wish the site was your lake house. Perfect size and great amenities. Communication with manager was excellent.

Great cabin

We booked a last minute trip just to escape the city before the holidays. What an amazing cabin. Beautiful inside and out and they even decorated for the holidays which was a great surprise. It was cold out so we couldn’t utilize the lake or fire pit but we definitely would have. Loved having games and a pool table in the basement. They even had blankets and toys in the cabinet for our dog. Feels like they thought of everything you would need for a great stay. We will definitely be back.

Remote and peaceful

House was great! Just as advertised. Really remote location so bring everything you need. Boats were pretty dirty so be prepared to clean them if you’re planning on using them, but that’s to be expected when they’re kept outside. House is really clean and the basement is a great bonus area. Lake is beautiful- super peaceful and loaded with fish! A great vacation for all - highly recommend.

Stay at the Lake

We enjoyed our time at the Lake house! Beautiful property and everything was clean and organized. Only issue, the identifier of the entrance point was missing. Our motto was "Where's the anchor?" All weekend. We had to ask a neighbor who was kind enough to confirm we were in the correct place. Other than that awesome time

Mother's Day gift!

Booked this lovely lakeside cabin to celebrate Mother's Day and escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and it was the best decision. It was about an 18min drive from town, but once we reached the cabin, we were in awe because the immediate tranquility was just amazing. The instructions to get in were easy, and the cabin was just as pictured. Stunning view from the living and kitchen area, the downstairs was an extra plus with a separate living area and pool table & TV. The two-bedroom located on the main floor was perfect for my grandmother in her 80s, who can't go up steps, and the upstairs room was even better, overlooking the house and lakeview when you come out of the room in the mornings. I have to say that my bedsheets appeared to be used, as I pulled the covers, I had to dust off some debris, but luckily, I had some Amazon travel sheets, and I just threw them on. Everything else was wonderful. Loved the open space room where the gentlemen hung out by the fireplace watching TV, while the ladies sat by the dining area, drinking coffee without leaving the room. The weather was fantastic the next day, so we sat out on the deck and had breakfast & lunch while listening to nature. Loved the paddle boat and being able to sit on the dock and enjoy the lake. The family time around the fire pit was unforgettable! Goodtime!! I had to reach out to the host, Michael, and he responded immediately with a solution. This is now my new favorite escape spot. Can't wait to return!!!

We had a great time enjoying the home with our adult children. We had a campfire two nights with s’mores, and went out on the lake with the kayak and peddle boat two days. The home itself was great, very comfortable and clean. We got to see the tail end of the leaves changing. We went to Hanford Mills museum (very interesting) and Hall of Fame at Cooperstown (lots of fun).
