Why they chose this property

When you’re planning a trip with extended family or a group of friends, finding a home with enough space, comfort, and functionality can be tough—My Fair Haven delivers on all three. With five true bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and multiple gathering spaces, it’s designed to bring people together without feeling cramped.

The home offers a warm, second-home feel with thoughtful touches, natural light, and contemporary design elements. The open floor plan makes it easy to stay connected, whether you’re cooking breakfast in the kitchen, playing board games in the living room, or enjoying drinks out on the porch.

While it’s not directly on the water, this property provides the best of both worlds: easy access to Fair Haven Beach State Park, the marina, and the lake—without the crowds, premium pricing, or tight quarters of waterfront rentals. And when the day is done, you can retreat to a quiet, fully stocked home with everything you need to relax and recharge.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend wedding, a family vacation, or a quiet seasonal escape, My Fair Haven is a smart, comfortable choice for groups who want space, value, and convenience in Upstate New York.

What makes this property unique

Space is the real luxury here. With over [insert square footage if known] of living space, five bedrooms, and a sprawling backyard, My Fair Haven offers room to breathe—something you just don’t find in many homes this close to the lake.

The fenced-in yard is a standout feature for families traveling with kids. Whether you’re playing lawn games, grilling out, or gathering around the fire pit, it’s a space that invites connection. The large patio has enough seating for group meals, while the front porch provides a peaceful retreat when you want a moment to yourself.

Inside, the layout is ideal for multigenerational groups or friends traveling together. Two king bedrooms, two queen rooms, and a twin room offer flexibility, and three full bathrooms mean no one’s waiting for a shower. The spacious kitchen, dining benches, and island seating make mealtime easy and enjoyable for large parties.

All of this comes in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from the beach, the bay, and scenic nature trails—making it the perfect place to reconnect and recharge.
