About this property
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.

****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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Shawn Skeele
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.
