We’ve rented here for years now and always had an amazing experience. The check-in process is smooth, the house is clean, there’s plenty of room for a large crew, and the owner is attentive and responsive if you need anything. Could not be happier with this rental and our time spent here.

Check in was very easy and Miles was so quick to communicate with us on anything needed. The kitchen was amazing; had everything we needed to cook all week with plenty of beautiful dishes. Loved the coffee/tea bar. This house is spacious and beautiful; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fun games for the family, along with puzzles. We rented the pontoon boat, which was a ton of fun as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful House

We flew out from Arizona to attend our Son's graduation from Syracuse University. Our stay at the lake house for 5 nights was wonderful. The house was clean and Miles was very inviting. The location was great and we had a wonderful time.I truly wished we extended our stay for a little long. Thank you for allowing to stay at your beautiful lake house we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend your lake house.

Exactly what we needed

Clean home with the perfect amount of space for our family. Owner was quick to help with anything we had questions about. Lake was beautiful and we spent most of our time outside with the paddle boat, swimming, and lounging on the decks. Hope to go back again next year!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We planned a very last minute weekend getaway and Miles was easy to work with and very timely with answers to any questions we had. We enjoyed playing board games, darts, ping pong, and the kids had a great time sledding. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back in the summer to be able to enjoy the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Miles Lewis

We are Miles and Katherine Lewis. In 1988 Katherine's parents bought a camp on Panther Lake where they enjoyed their summers every year while growing up. Our families were friends since 1997 and we both ended up spending a lot of time at the camp on Panther Lake, our favorite place to be during the summer. In 2010 we got married, started a growing business breeding and training Labradoodles for family pets and service dogs, and soon had four children. When the time was right we knew we wanted a lake house of our own on Panther Lake. We live just minutes away and get over to the lake every chance we get. We are so happy to have you enjoy a little slice of our paradise.

Why they chose this property

One of the larger year round homes on Panther Lake, uniquely situated to see nearly the entire lake as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Panther Lake is a quiet relaxing getaway, especially during the weekdays. During the summer the only boats on the lake are those who own property on the lake or their guests. There is no public boat launch on the lake which keeps the traffic limited to those who respect and love this lake the most. The water just off the shoreline is great for swimming and not mucky or rocky. Nice sandy bottom that starts our shallow for young swimmers but is deep enough at the end of the dock to jump right in. The lake warms up quickly as it averages 12-15 feet in most areas. Oftentimes the water is 65 degrees by middle of May. During the warmest parts of the summer water can get into the lower 80s. During the winter the ice gets very thick is fantastic for ice fishing. One of the best ice fishing spots on the lake is right in front of the house.
