Lake LaFever Log Estate Luxury Lakefront w Boats

Discover the Serenity of a Custom-Built Lake Front Log Home in the Catskills

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. 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.

Year-Round Retreat

This custom log home is not just a summer getaway; it’s a year-round retreat, attracting visitors throughout all four seasons. Whether it’s fall foliage hikes, winter snowshoeing, or summer lake activities, every trip promises unique experiences and lasting memories.

With reliable Fios Wi-Fi and all the comforts of home, guests can easily stay connected while enjoying the peace of their natural surroundings. As a note for potential guests, please ensure that a member of your party is at least 21 years old to check in.

Conclusion

More than just a rental, our custom-built lake front log home in the Catskills is a place where good times are shared, memories are made, and bonds are strengthened over the beauty of nature and the warmth of a cozy retreat. We invite you to experience our home and create unforgettable moments on the lake. We hope to welcome you back year after year as you discover all that our lovely cabin has to offer.

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.

Amazing lake house

This scenic lake house exceeded our family’s expectations - it was quite large, beautiful and clean. Our family enjoyed the row boat and the bonfire pit outside and on a rainy day we loved being able to use the fireplace inside to make smores, relax and watch a movie.

Fantastic Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The cabin had all the essentials and the property is beautiful and private. Being right on the water was great and we all had an awesome time using the boats and kayak. We caught a ton of fish (catch and release) and enjoyed being on the quiet lake.

Fun outdoor family vacation!

Our family of 5 had our 2nd stay at this house this past weekend. This house is a great place to unplug, spend time playing in the lake (swimming, fishing, kayaking), have bonfires and just relax. Mike was incredibly responsive when we found the paddle boat broken and had a new one to us in a few hours! The house is very comfortable and fun for kiddos, dogs and adults alike!

Best Cabin Getaway

We had the absolute best time relaxing as a family and enjoying the beautiful views of the lake here at the cabin. They had both a propane grill and charcoal grill which was great for dinners if any family members are into grilling, and michael was very responsive to any questions we had before/during our stay. The cabin was more than we could've expected - definitely don't hesitate to stay here if you're looking for a relaxing cabin getaway!

Beautiful Home

We stayed here when our son played in Cooperstown and it was so nice to come home to such a cozy beautiful home. The area is quiet and we had the best time fishing on the dock and taking the boat, peddle boat and kayak out. We enjoyed making smores. Loved it would highly recommend.

Relaxing getaway

We needed to take a few days to decompress from work and explore an area we've never visited and that is exactly what we did! The location was awesome. We were close to all the towns we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the gorgeous views from all the windows and the weather turned out to be good as well. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and just as expected. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful time away.

Perfect Getaway

This property gave us exactly the comfortable, nature filled, peaceful family getaway weekend we were looking for! The log cabin is so beautiful and clean and stocked with everything you could need. Between the house and the serene quiet lake, we were just in awe of the beauty around us the entire time. The stars were amazing, the outfoor fire pit is awesome. Had so much fun going out on the row boat. We hiked the property across the street too and found so much interesting and beautiful woods scenery. Couldn't have been happier!
