Spectacular Log Cabin at Piseco Lake

After years of camping on Piseco Lake, Helen and Len Andrew bought two lots across from their favorite campgrounds and built their dream vacation home. For generations now, the lodge has been a family gathering place, a launch pad for adventure, and beloved refuge. Now their daughters, Marcy and Beth, along with a collective of friends and family, care for and share the lodge. Even the grandkids are learning to grill, kayak, and install new toilets. Some of our favorite things to do? Paddle to Rocky Bend. Place scrabble on the porch. Drink coffee first thing on the porch swing in the morning. Do puzzles late into the night. Cook feasts and bake cookies. Hike up the Panther Mountain trail to Echo Cliffs.

Words that come to mind when we think of our beloved family vacation home are: restorative, connective, nourishing, spirit-filled, expansive enough to cradle the full spectrum of family joy and struggle. We feel generations of loving care in each beautiful room, exemplified by our mother's meticulous stitches in her handcrafted quilts.

The privacy of the bedrooms balanced with communally shared spaces and access to the great outdoors allow for easeful gatherings of friends and family. There are guidebooks and maps on the shelves to provide insights into activities that will make your stay memorable. Our guest books offer a glimpse into the adventures (including a few calamities), laughs, feasts, celebrations and the fun times that have been had over the past 30+ years at the lodge.

We hope you'll love the cabin as much as we do.

Enjoy the view of the lake from an Adirondack chair on the expansive deck. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully appointed and there are full baths on all 3 floors of this 2,650 sq. ft. home.

Activities: The recreation room on the ground level has a flat-screen TV, a collection of games and puzzles, and a ping-pong table. Three kayaks, a canoe and lots of water toys are available. With lots of nooks and crannies, this is the ideal house for playing hide and seek. The lodge is a dream for kids!

Enjoy this magnificent lodge and idyllic setting on beautiful Piseco Lake all four seasons.
