House has in floor heating, so no air ducts that collect debris blowing into the air space of the home.

****We Are Not Interested In Renters Looking For A Beer Party Location, but People Who Understand Respect For Another's Home And Neighbors Even Though They Are 800 Ft Away.*****

With the home up the hill 800 ft from the road overlooking the lake, our lakefront is about 1 mile down the road that is private and spacious with 3 kayaks, canoe, rowboat, paddleboat and life jackets for your usage.

Sledding during the winter on our driveway is the best around. Pickup Truck taxi rides up our 800ft driveway in the winter for sledding cost extra. Your kids will love it!

DeRuyter Lake:: DeRuyter Lake is 10 miles south of Cazenovia tucked in the rolling hills of central New York. We are far enough in the country for privacy and yet only 30 minutes from the Syracuse, Cortland or Oneida city life. The Finger Lakes and Ithaca are less than a hour away also. Cooperstown is about 1hr, 20min. away.

Very clean home
We stayed at this home for Colgate parent weekend. The house was immaculate and the home owner, Shawn, was very easy to work with. He offered us a late checkout and was happy to accommodate an early checkin. The experience was great.

Paradise Getaway Log Home
Our stay at the Paradise Getaway Log Home was wonderful! The home was clean, well stocked & beautifully decorated inside and out. The views from every room in the home were amazing, as were the views from the furnished patio deck. The outside lights & landscaping were gorgeous, (so many colorful flowers & shrubs). The host was friendly & helpful, giving us tips & directions to several of the areas attractions & restaurants. The location was great too. There were four different disc golf courses within a 30 minute drive & several parks with hiking trails & incredible waterfalls all within 15 minutes. Thank you Shawn for sharing your lovely log home with us for the weekend. We only wish we had more time to enjoy the heated pool & lake.

An Excellent Vacation Home for Families with Children
Our stay at the DeRuyter Lake House was perfect. The kids loved the playroom, games, toys, craft supplies and swing set. We also loved the pool and pool deck with furniture and water toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Hoping to rent again.

Beautiful Log Home
The log home was even better than the pictures. We all had a wonderful time at the pool, fishing, hiking and just relaxing. My 2yr old grandson also had a great time - SO much for him to do. He loved the playhouse. Shawn was very welcoming and responsive.

Pool Party
A great vacation with our family of kids and grandkids. Host was clear with instructions and responded to questions or issues as needed. Besides check-in and check-out only needed to make one stop to check pool settings and get the garbage. We had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Skeele

Host profile image
The land this house resides was my grandfather's 100 acre lot bought in the late 1930's and put in a family trust for future generations. With God's hand of provision, I moved my family back to the lake to raise buying 6 acres overlooking the lake. My older brother and I built this log home in 2002.

My wife and I homeschooled our kids. I'm part owner of the family insurance agency established by my grandfather in 1957 being a 3rd generation owner desiring to carry on the multi-generational vision.

I grew up on the other side of the lake, went to Houghton College in western NY, started my own business for 13 years and moved back in 2001 to nurture and expand my family insurance agency.

Why they chose this property

This Post & Beam Cedar Log Home speaks for itself. It's private, isolated, custom made with a layout that is open and spacious being ideal for family reunions or retreats. For me, it's like coming home to a vacation property everyday. The view of God's creation and animals outside standing anywhere in the house is breath taking. With deer, foxes, rabbits, turkeys, eagles and hawks, you never know what you're going to wake up to or see during the day. We have awesome sunsets as we relax from the day's events giving thanks reflecting at the wonder and beauty around us.

You have a great variety of activities with family and friends. Enjoy the lakefront 1 mile down the road with swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and lake scenery. Up at the house, we have a pool(2019), big bonfires with wood supplied, gas grill some steak, rest in the hammock, play horseshoes & badminton, roast some smores,(we supply the materials and long forks) tell campfire stories and jokes or just enjoy the scenery.

Inside, play some pool/ping pong while watching a game, use the exercise equipment, nap, enjoy the open spacious rooms and deck. Oh, and enjoy the scenery overlooking the lake.

We have a beautiful playroom for the kids, barbie house, play on the swing set, sandbox, games galore and wifi.

All this is just at the house. Syracuse, Cortland and Oneida are just 1/2 hour away. Ski resorts, golf courses, state forests with trails for hiking, biking and skiing, elegant restaurants 12 minutes away and true Italian pizza 5 minutes away.

During the winter, our 800 ft driveway is the best sledding path in all central NY!

All four seasons provide refreshing perspectives about this creation made just for us. We look forward to sharing it with you for a spell.

What makes this property unique

A restful, peaceful, tranquil, fun, spacious, Post & Beam Cedar Log Home experience awaits you, family and friends. Call me with your questions and how we can make this an ideal vacation.
