About this property
Charming 100-Year-Old Lake House on Pristine Mountain Lake -Your Perfect Retreat
Located atop local mountains and across from a state forest, Arnold's Lake has been a haven for families for well over 100 years. Our 2 bedroom cabin sleeps 5 comfortably and is all original. One of the first on the lake. The lake is clear, the view unreal, and the peace just what most of us are looking for.
This house is much as it was in the early twentieth century. It still has a quaint simple feel from an era long gone. There is a large porch to rock on, a great dock to sit and share coffee or a swim, a grill, a firepit (lots of wood provided), and the closeness to nature (lovely outdoor shower) that will linger long on your mind and soul.
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary from a more straightforward day and time, you have found it. Bring your binoculars and enjoy the Osprey, Bald Eagles, and fabulous fishing!
Both Baseball parks are within a 15-minute drive.
Note: One owner is a licensed real estate agent

About the host
Hosted by Steve Roese
We are a local family of five siblings that own the lake home together. The place has been in the family for more than 30 years. As diverse as can be, we are a business owner, construction manager, a farmer, a pastor and a professor. We have 10 children between us. We are fortunate to spend many summer days together cooking, fishing, hiking, and rocking on the porch.
Why they chose this property
The lake house was originally purchased by our mother as a place where we could all come together in the summers. Her dream was to make this cabin a place where many memories were made, and that would be passed down for generations to come. We are working on both the memory-making and the passing down for generations.
What makes this property unique
Simple, connected to the land and the lake. This is what most of us dream of when we think about a Northeast lake place. We happen to be fortunate to own it and love sharing with others.
