Stay in a lakefront dream cabin with 220 feet of waterfront and spectacular views!! Enjoy this newly remodeled and newly furnished cabin with a bird's eye view of the expanse of the lake. Situated perched up at the end of the peninsula, it adds privacy and tranquility. For some fun on the water, kayaks can be rented and delivered straight to the property for your convenience. Although help may be needed to take kayaks down the stairs to the dock. The cove by the dock adds swimming safety from boats and the gradual decline allows for wading. With the cabin surrounded by tall trees, it feels like a treehouse in a cozy woodland escape. Feel the warmth and hear the crackling fire in the outdoor fireplace where you can roast marshmallows, or grill a yummy BBQ lunch. Conveniently located. Clarkson University is 13 miles from Camp Lake Bear, while SUNY Potsdam is 13 miles away. Canton-Potsdam Hospital is 14 miles away. The nearest airport is Ogdensburg Airport, 31 miles from the accommodation.
There are twenty five original charming steps reminiscent of a Irish woodland fairytale going down to the home from the dirt road where you park. On a warm summer night, if you’re lucky, fireflies in the trees make it magical. On the level of the home is where you will find a wood burning outdoor fireplace where guests can make smores or grill. Twenty steep steps will take you down to the next level down to a look out deck where you can see the boats going by. Further down, approximately thirty steps will take you to the recently renovated dock where there is a step ladder into the water for some splashing fun. Back up at the house, there are three bedrooms that sleep 7 people. The first bedroom consists of a new queen bed and side tables with charger plugs and three drawers. It is decorated with pictures of the lake and an old oar. It has hooks on the wall, a mirror, two chairs and a three tiered cart for your personal items. This room houses the furnace to the heater which might be a little loud for some in the fall if it is on. It is open to the closet for ventilation. With the bedroom door open, there is a great view of the lake from the bed. The second bedroom has a double bed with a single bunk over it. This room also houses the newly renovated shower. It has a chair, a three tiered cart for personal items, a full length mirror, and a shelving unit and a small computer desk with a USB charger. On the way to the third bedroom is a couple of steps up to a breezeway that has the restroom, and a washing machine and dryer. This third bedroom offers a bit of coziness and privacy away from the rest of the rooms making it a good room if someone needs to do remote work or hop on a zoom call or take an afternoon nap. It has an office chair and some shelf space in front of a window. This room retains its original wood like charm, has a double bed with simple side tables for the lamps, a cabinet with shelves, a shelving unit and its own heating system. The great room has the living room and dining room combined for family gatherings. The dining area is graced with newer furnishings including a large dining room table, four dining chairs and a seating bench, for meals, games, or bird gazing with binoculars. The living area has a reclining sofa with built in phone charger outlets, a rolling round coffee table, four rocking swivel chairs and a smart TV. It is surrounded by a wall of windows to enjoy the spectacular views of the lake and forest like a great big cozy hug. At the entry way is a double seater bench, a coat rack, and a lighthouse mirrored key hook. The white kitchen is newly renovated with crisp white cupboards, double sink, electric stove, oven, and a French door refrigerator. Other appliances include a smoothie blender, toaster, coffee maker and a microwave. The shower is also remodeled with a rain shower head conveniently located in one of the bedrooms which frees up the restroom for others. The entire house has upgraded waterproof luxury vinyl flooring. Wet feet from a splash in the lake? Welcome! *Notes for bringing your own boat.

About the host
Hosted by Grace
My grandfather built a camp on a lake and I used to go visit every other summer and enjoy fishing, skiing, tubing, rowing, canoeing, and playing games with my relatives. The memories will last forever. As a host, I wish that this space will allow the guests that stay here make their own memories.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood offers a small town rustic feel, with natural terrain and landscape, all surrounding a spectacular sparkling lake. Being by the water, is so relaxing and soothing at times, and exciting when you dare the person next to you to jump in the cold water first.
What makes this property unique
We are located at the end of a peninsula. So at the top where the road is, you can see water on both sides. Since we are at the end, it offers so much privacy. This property consists of three lots so we have approximating 240 feet of lake frontage with a nice space and trees between us and our neighbor, adding a lot of privacy. It is also perched up on the hill, giving a treehouse feel as you take in the expanse of the body of water and sky.
