About this property

Glamorous lake house on a mountain lake in upstate New York (max of 8 guests)

Eagle’s Landing Lake House is a newly renovated and uniquely furnished and decorated four bedroom, two bathroom rental home which is in operation twelve months a year. The home is decorated in a whimsical combination of Adirondack style/mountain theme with the addition of nautical as well as Victorian elements. Thompson’s Lake is a clear, spring fed mountain lake located in the Helderberg Mountain range of upstate New York. The lake is 2.5 miles long and the deepest area of the lake is 60 feet. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The lake is relatively private although there is a New York State Park at the end of the lake. Eagle’s Landing does provide our guests with eight different kayaks, two standing paddle boards, three paddle boats, two row boats and two canoes. Life preservers as well as paddles and oars are readily available for our guests. (We are dog friendly so life preservers are also available for your canine family members)✨ The home, including all four bedrooms and the den, boasts knotty pine walls and ceilings made of southern pine with cedar wood beams. We have two resident bald eagles on the lake which often hunt for fish from our tall pine trees facing the lake. Winter, spring and fall are also wonderful months to visit Eagle’s Landing for leaf peeping, cross country snow skiing and snowshoeing, ice fishing, hiking and snow mobiling. We provide all bedding, high end glass and dish ware as well as cooking utensils. We also have three balconies directly facing the lake, a stone fireplace and several outdoor fire pits and chimneas. We own the building lots on each side of our Lakehouse so our location is very private and reminiscent of a state park. Due to the fact that we use a well for water and have a septic system, we strongly hold to the policy that the maximum number of guests is eight. (Please know that children need to be counted in your total when adding up your guests) Thank you, in advance, for adhering to this policy as our goal is to offer you and your party a wonderful and comfortable experience at the lake house. ✨

Cabin by the lake

From the minute we got there, we knew we selected the right place. The place was clean and stocked with everything we could need. The host had thought of everything with every room stocked. The house also came with canoes, kayaks, and fishing equipment, everything we needed to relax by the lake. We would absolutely stay here again without question. Truly, the hostess with the mostess

Lake House Retreat

My son and I loved this property. It was well kept with everything one would need to stay away from home. Kathleen was great with communication and very kind. We stayed during the winter with the sole purpose of ice fishing but can see the beauty of the property and the surrounding location as a year around destination.

Kathy, our host gave us a warm friendly welcome and suggestions for lots of things to do in the area. Kathy is very knowledgeable about what both the property and the town as to offer including sites and restaurants. We went skiing and the kids enjoyed themselves. The house was clean, warm, pretty, inviting and had plenty of room for our large family. We look forward to visiting again and will recommend to our friends!

We didn't want to leave . . .

If you're reading this, book it, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. Wow, where do I even begin. My partner and I were looking for a secluded and private rental to celebrate our 15 Year Anniversary, and settled on Eagles Landing, so glad we did. The lakehouse is so spacious, includes everything imaginable, from kitchen essentials to linens, to outdoor seating, firepits, canoes, and paddleboats and the list goes on. We are looking forward to returning during the summer months to enjoy more of what the outdoors has to offer. I must say, however, we did enjoy the ambience of the "woodstove" (propane) upstairs, definitely set the mood with the lake view along with the falling snow, it was heaven. Despite the beautiful lakehouse along with all of the amenities, what topped our experience, were the hosts Kathy and John! Yes, the hosts made our experience that much better, which is hard to do, as Eagles Landing on its own is a spectacular experience. The hosts kept us informed every step of the way, offered restaurant recommendations, and even made themselves readily available anytime of day in the event we had any questions. However, without giving away their secret which sets them apart from most hosts, is the amount of thought they incorporate into the stay to make it special for each and every guest, not to mention their kind-heartedness. A special thank you to both Kathy and John, as my partner and I were absolutely blown away by your hospitality! 😊

6th and Final First Christmas!!!

Kathleen was by far the best host I have ever had the pleasure of renting from. Right from the start she was very informative and quick to get back to me. My wife and I were given the task to find a location near Schenectady so we could have our 7 - month old spend Christmas with his great grandfather. (This would be his final first Christmas). After informing Kathleen about our reason for visiting, she let us know about all of the decorations she had. My wife and I were shocked at the collection, but were so grateful to have it set up. It made for a fun snow day with our baby after we got hit with a good 6-8" overnight. Also great for pictures. The decorations are only the beginning. Check in was so easy and Kathleen left us "garbage bread" and pizza with a jar of marinara sauce so that we would have an easy meal when we showed up late at night. We were also given a bandana and treats to spoil my sister's dog. The house was beautiful and super cozy. We had a fire downstairs every night we were there and used the propane stove on the middle floor also. The view of the lake was amazing and the property was fun to explore. We had a great time with the family and it started with the generosity and caring nature of Kathleen. From the start she was amazing and that has made my family very excited to try and make it an annual trip. Thank you so much Kathleen!!!

Beautiful and Relaxing New Year’s!

Eagles Landing was wonderful! It was our first time there and won’t be our last. We were welcomed to a super clean lake house with soft music playing and a lot of goodies to snack on! The decor was really cool and some unique pieces from local artists. Everything seemed custom tailored to our trip and we couldn’t have been happier. The wind was howling for the first couple days but you would never know it with any of the warm fireplaces to keep warm by. New Years Day we caught a sunrise at Thatcher Park then hiked Paint Mine trail for a few miles. We finished up our trip watching the many different kinds of birds visit and eat seed and nuts. Thank you to Kathy and John for a super relaxing vacation after a very busy 4th quarter at work. 😊♥️ Kathy goes above and beyond to ensure you have an amazing stay.

Thanksgiving

My family had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving at Eagles Landing and we were simply blown away by the host, the house and experience!! It starts before you have even arrived with helpful recommendations from Kathy regarding things to do and see and local restaurants to visit. When you walk into the house you are greeted with a personal welcome with goodies and are treated to spectacular views and first class accommodations and amenities. The weather was cold and blustery but we stayed warm and cozy with a gas stove on the main level and wood fireplace in the downstairs area and plenty of warm comfy bedding in our bedrooms. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this place! Kathy and John have created a truly magical house where guests are treated like friends and family. We are already looking forward to our next chance to visit🤗

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Bernhard

Host profile image
I grew up and still reside in upstate New York. My family purchased the lake house when I was in high school and at that time, it was truly a rustic summer camp. The lake home was totally renovated during the years 2019-2021. I would like people to know that I am a genuine “people person” and enjoy sharing our special lake home with others.

Why they chose this property

I believe that we have a very magical and magnificent property and I am very proud of Eagle’s Landing Lake House. We have 210’ feet of lake frontage on a private and pristine mountain lake in upstate New York. We often have a bald eagle (or two!) sit in our pine tree (lakeside) and many guests have written about that special event in their VRBO reviews.

What makes this property unique

Eagle’s Landing is a newly renovated Adirondack style lake front home with a magnificent view of a small mountain lake.
