Shawn is an amazing host. He was very communicative and helpful responding to my inquiries in a thoughtful and timely manner. The house is extremely well equipped, spacious, and has a stunning view of the lake.
My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. The view is breathtaking, we really enjoyed the pool, fire pit, deck, game room. The owner was quick to respond to questions.
We loved the house, location, and incredible views! The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Shawn was very responsive to questions. Pool was great. All and all, we’d highly recommend this property!
Hands down best VRBO we have ever stayed at. This place has everything. Shawn ( The Owner) was great to communicate with. If you are having a family gathering in this area this is the place for you!

Great property! Perfect location
This home was a perfect place to have our group of friends with family and children visit for the weekend. Having grown up in DeRuyter, it was nice to have a place close to home to get back together. There is plenty of room to sleep and entertain. The games and play room for the kids made it that much more enjoyable for the children. Perfect location over looking the lake.
We were extremely pleased with the house, location and views. We didn’t have the best weather for the first few days, but there were plenty of games to choose from. We would definitely go back to this location.
The house was great, more than enougn room for my family. Lots of activities to keep everyone busy. The pool by far was used the most. They literally provide everything but clothes & food. Made our stay great.
An Excellent Vacation Home for Families with Children
Our stay at the DeRuyter Lake House was perfect. The kids loved the playroom, games, toys, craft supplies and swing set. We also loved the pool and pool deck with furniture and water toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Hoping to rent again.
Property provided our family a great weekend escape. Owner was very friendly and met us at property for complete tour. Was responsive to any needs. Awesome place for kids with games, toys, outdoor area and pool. Would definitely consider returning and recommending to others.
The log home was even better than the pictures. We all had a wonderful time at the pool, fishing, hiking and just relaxing. My 2yr old grandson also had a great time - SO much for him to do. He loved the playhouse. Shawn was very welcoming and responsive.
The property is everything as advertised and more. Great overall experience with family as we had our short stay over a graduation weekend. Owners were very prompt and accommodating and property was well stocked and clean (not to mention the spectacular view of the lake you wake up to every day). We only wish we had more time to explore the lake and area….
We stayed at this home for Colgate parent weekend. The house was immaculate and the home owner, Shawn, was very easy to work with. He offered us a late checkout and was happy to accommodate an early checkin. The experience was great.
Out weekend at Paradise Getaway was just what we expected.
The kitchen was very well-stocked with utensils, pots, pans,etc. The beds were clean and there were ample towels for all 11 of us. Having the pool, the anmazing view of the lake, and fabulous weather took it up a level. It was the break that everyone needed and that is why we give it a 5!
A great vacation with our family of kids and grandkids. Host was clear with instructions and responded to questions or issues as needed. Besides check-in and check-out only needed to make one stop to check pool settings and get the garbage. We had a great time.
The property is wonderful, and well equipped with everything imaginable in the kitchen, as advertised, including basic spices/seasonings, pasta, potatoes. So many small appliances are available in the cabinets. Beds were comfortable. All towels, sheets, etc. were provided. So convenient, very quiet and Shawn is a very responsive owner. Would absolutely rent again!

The Perfect Vacation
We stayed in this house the first week of August with two families with and five little kids (ranging 0-4). This house had everything we needed for our group. From toys to games to the beautiful large yard complete with a swing-set and sandbox everyone was kept busy.
The lake is down the road which was great as we felt it was safer with the little kids. There was a nice grassy area for the kids to play on at the lakefront and plenty of boats to go around.
Thank you Shawn our great vacation!
