Paradise getaway log home with pool - Cazenovia 10 min away

We now have new living room furniture, two bathrooms with showers and a 1/2 bath along with a 16x30 deck! A queen bed has been added to the lower level as of May 2020. Also, as of summer 2018, we have a better lakefront that's bigger, more private and has wildlife galore for you nature lovers. In 2019, we installed a 18x36 pool ready to go weather permitting by Memorial Day weekend. It will be open through Labor Day. Weather permitting, we try to keep open through September and with our new solar heating, chances are good will be able to do so.

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!

Calm and relaxing
There were 6 adults and 3 children 1 ,5,6 the toys for the children was unbelievable ,the deck or pool area to enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book was breathtaking. We swam everyday . Cazenovia was a hop skip and a jump. Fresh produce from farms around the area was so good. Shawn had emergency fire blankets outside by the grill and in the kitchen we had never seen any before and fortunately we didn’t need them but when we returned home we ordered them for all our family members . Thank you Shawn for sharing your home.

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.

The property is everything as advertised and more. Great overall experience with family as we had our short stay over a graduation weekend. Owners were very prompt and accommodating and property was well stocked and clean (not to mention the spectacular view of the lake you wake up to every day). We only wish we had more time to explore the lake and area….

Great property! Perfect location
This home was a perfect place to have our group of friends with family and children visit for the weekend. Having grown up in DeRuyter, it was nice to have a place close to home to get back together. There is plenty of room to sleep and entertain. The games and play room for the kids made it that much more enjoyable for the children. Perfect location over looking the lake.

DeRuyter lake home with pool
The property is wonderful, and well equipped with everything imaginable in the kitchen, as advertised, including basic spices/seasonings, pasta, potatoes. So many small appliances are available in the cabinets. Beds were comfortable. All towels, sheets, etc. were provided. So convenient, very quiet and Shawn is a very responsive owner. Would absolutely rent again!

The Perfect Vacation
We stayed in this house the first week of August with two families with and five little kids (ranging 0-4). This house had everything we needed for our group. From toys to games to the beautiful large yard complete with a swing-set and sandbox everyone was kept busy. The lake is down the road which was great as we felt it was safer with the little kids. There was a nice grassy area for the kids to play on at the lakefront and plenty of boats to go around. Thank you Shawn our great vacation!

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.

Excellent weekend getaway
Shawn isn't kidding when he says his property has just about everything you need. I wonderful swimming pool, multiple water craft, a dock for fishing, a house full of toys and craft supplies. We did a family trip that included 3 3 year olds, a 5 year old and an 8 year old. The 3 year olds were in heaven in the basement playroom and all the kids had a blast as well as the adults. Shawn was very responsive and friendly. Overall the experience was exactly what we were looking for and we would totally book this property again in the future.

Syracuse University Graduation
This was an ideal location for attending Syracuse University Graduation. We were a party of 11 and the home met and exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed to make this a memorable both in and outside was provided. Our only regret was we didn't have enough time, because of graduation activities, to take full advantage of everything this home to offer. We recommend groups book their stay at this vacation rental. We will definitely rent it again when our granddaughter gets her masters.🤗❤️

Nice place to stay
Our family kept busy while we stayed at Post & Beam. We had from age 6 to 77. The host / owner had many things to keep the kids busy when it rained and / or in the evening. Two closets of toys and board games and a small closet of crafts. Half of the family went fishing / swimming at the lake during the daylight hours. Again the host / owner provided kayaks, paddle boat, and a canoe. Other family members went sight seeing to places like the baseball hall of fame, a zoo, hiking, and went to see water falls! Great time had by all!

Perfect Family Getaway
We are three families, each with two kids and we could not have found a better spot for a relaxing summer vacation in upstate New York. The location was great, only a few hours from NYC and less than an hour from Syracuse, close to DeRuyter Lake, Cazenovia, waterfalls, hiking, etc. The lake access, although a mile or so drive down the road, was great for a few trips out kayaking and canoeing. The house itself is the real feature, with room for 12 guests, large common areas and dining room, a kids playroom (!) and many amenities, including BBQ, plenty of outdoor furniture and games, fire pit, and an impressively large deck with spectacular views of the lake and sunset from a nice hilltop perch. The owner Shawn was very kind and helpful, orienting us when we arrived, advising us on the surrounding area and allowing us to hang out a little later on our last day since no guests were arriving. It really felt like home away from home, and although we were sad the pool was not installed yet, we might just have to come back next year! Thanks for everything.

Great getaway!
We had a wonderful experience! The house truly has everything you can think of if you are planning on bringing young kids: a playroom, tons of toys, board games, a swing set and sandbox, pool toys, and crafting supplies. Even a rocking chair if you need it! We had four children under 4 and I was very impressed. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pantry staples in case you forgot something you need. There is also a local grocery store nearby. The property was large enough that my friends and I could have space with our own kids as we needed throughout the week. The pool was great and it was always warm. Plenty of floats and toys and life jackets. My only comment would be to bring your own black-out travel curtains if you don't want to wake up to natural sunlight, as the bedrooms do not have shades/curtains. We had a wonderful time and truly want to come again next year.

Good rental for 2 families.
Overall the, property is nice and has a good view of the lake. Everything was clean and organized and the grounds well kept. We enjoyed the lake access, but keep in mind its almost a 1/2 mile walk from the front door. It was great to have use of the boats, and many of us went out on the lake on them. I would advise any future renters to carefully review the size of their group and the bedrooms available. I would consider this no more than a 2 family rental. There are two good bedrooms on the first floor. The upstairs loft is more suited to children and teenagers and the downstairs to children. I would recommend finishing the downstairs bedroom if intended for renters. The rafters above and one wall are not sheetrocked although it is tidy. During our stay in the summer, it was a little dank in the basement, needing a humidifier running all the time. We had no issues with bugs and the weather turned out great.

Family Get Away exceeded our Expectations
The reviews said this property was well stocked but it blew us away all that they provided to make our stay all we dreamed it would be. The kitchen had every possible spice and condiment, canned good you could need as well as dozens of pots, pans, dishes, and small appliance you could want. Crockpot, griddle, immersion blender, if we looked- we found it. The toys, games, arts and crafts closet, and pool floats and toys were more than we ever imagined. And the house itself lent itself to time together and to private conversations because to our surprise the sound did not travel from room to room as we expected it would. The kids in the playroom could not be heard upstairs and if in the kitchen you couldn't really hear goings on in the living room. We just felt so welcome and cared for, and it had such an impact on our few days there. The only thing we didn't do was to Kayaak and that was because the launch was so overgrown we opted not venture into the mucky water. We all hope to return and encourage anyone who would like a getaway to check it out.
