If you're searching for the perfect getaway that offers an idyllic blend of adventure and tranquility, look no further than our custom-built lake front log home nestled in the picturesque Catskills. This home is part of Catskills Cabin Rentals, which is the largest vacation rental group in the Catskills! Spanning six stunning lakefront acres, this charming retreat is the ideal sanctuary for those seeking privacy and an array of outdoor activities, from fishing and boating to hiking and relaxing by the water.

Key Features of the Log Home

This beautifully crafted log cabin boasts three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it perfect for families and groups. The design ensures comfort and convenience, with the upper-level bedroom featuring a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom equipped with double sinks and a shower. The main floor hosts two additional bedrooms: another queen-sized room and a unique log twin bunk bed setup, ideal for kids or extra guests. Plus, two roll-away twin beds are available for added sleeping space.

One of the standout features of the home is the expansive great room, accentuated by three French doors that provide breathtaking views of an 80-acre private lake. Step outside onto the over 1,000 square feet of wrap-around deck, which includes a large grill for summer barbecues, patio furniture for lounging, and a soothing hammock for those lazy afternoons spent soaking in the beauty of nature.

The fully equipped kitchen adds to your home-away-from-home experience, with modern appliances, granite countertops, and all the utensils necessary to whip up delicious meals after a day of adventure.

A Paradise for Outdoor Enthusiasts

The glistening lake is an outdoor wonderland, fully stocked with pickerel, bass, catfish, and panfish, making it a fisherman’s dream. Guests will have access to a variety of watercraft, including a V-hull rowboat, a five-person paddle boat, and a double kayak—all included with your rental for your enjoyment (please note that all watercraft usage is at your own risk).

For those who prefer terrestrial activities, the property boasts a private peninsula with a large dock, where you can spend hours basking in the sun or launching your next fishing expedition. In the evenings, gather around the new circular patio with a fire pit for quality time with loved ones, as you relax in Adirondack chairs and take in the serene lake views and gentle breezes.

Entertainment Options Galore

For additional entertainment, the finished basement offers a friendly competition area with couches, a foosball table, and a pool table, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy during their stay.

The location of the log home adds to your convenience, being just 20 minutes from the famed Cooperstown All Star Village in Oneonta, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and events. With multiple sports parks and fields in the area, it’s a great destination for teams and families alike.

We had a great time enjoying the home with our adult children. We had a campfire two nights with s’mores, and went out on the lake with the kayak and peddle boat two days. The home itself was great, very comfortable and clean. We got to see the tail end of the leaves changing. We went to Hanford Mills museum (very interesting) and Hall of Fame at Cooperstown (lots of fun).

Beautiful property

The property has a breathtaking view! We really enjoyed our time on the boat—our kids absolutely loved it. The bonfire by the fire pit was such a fun and memorable experience. The location is also perfect, with close access to the Hall of Fame Museum and Howe Caverns. We’ll definitely be coming back to this wonderful place.Thank you, Michael!

Quiet Seclusion in Winter

This was a wonderful cabin located off the beaten path. If you are looking for a quiet location and a nice cabin this place is for you. Our stay was in the winter, so there were very few people around, but it was just what my friends and I were looking for.
