Soak up the view during your stay.

Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.
Enjoy serenity, fresh air, and gorgeous views at our log cabin in the Catskills. A weekend up at the lake is the perfect getaway from the city and hustle and bustle, ideal for a weekend with loved ones.

This is a beautifully constructed log home with modern furnishings and appliances. With rustic and cozy detail that sleeps 8 people comfortably, you will feel right at home. You’ll also have private access to the lake for swimming and boating, prime sunset viewing, a fire pit & outdoor shower.

The space
Our ground floor is spacious and inviting, perfect to share quality time with family and friends. The living room boasts gorgeous natural lighting through floor to ceiling glass windows and a stunning view of the lake, as well as a large TV with impressive surround sound and a comfy leather sectional. The wood stove makes winter months toasty and comfortable. The bedroom on the bottom floor is a queen bed with an ensuite private bathroom with a brand new rainfall shower and private outdoor entrance. There is also a half bathroom on the bottom floor.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, including a washing machine and dryer. We do our best to provide guests with spices and condiments for cooking. The dining room sits 8 comfortably, although with good weather, we highly recommend enjoying your meals from the back deck!

Top floor has 3 bedrooms: a master bedroom suite with a California King bed and bath, a room with bunk beds (queen on bottom, full on top), and a room with two twin beds. The two bedrooms share a full bath. In the upstairs family area, there is a pull out sofa (full size) and TV for overflow sleeping arrangements.

The wrap-around porch has two dining sets, a grill, and additional seating for tanning, relaxing, or cocktail hour. Continue around the porch and you will find a hammock to enjoy some peace and quiet! Below the deck you will also find a outdoor sitting area with wrap around cobblestone flooring, a swing, and outdoor shower. Our basement is under construction and will be off limits during your stay.

There is also a garden tucked away in the front lawn where you’ll likely find all the herbs you’d want for cooking!

Guest access
The house is just a staircase from the lake - feel free to enjoy the outdoor deck overlooking the lake and use the private lake access for swimming, kayaking and fishing. In recent years, bald eagles have been nesting on our lake so in all likelihood you will have the rare opportunity of seeing these fantastic birds fly in their natural habitat.

Other things to note
The house has high-speed Wifi, 2 TVs with blue ray DVD player and Netflix.

I am a real-estate professional, living in the suburbs outside of NYC with my wife and four daughters. I have been spending my summers with my family on Highland Lake since I was young. If you love to be in a quiet place surrounded by nature, this place is for you! My hobbies include water-skiing, boating on the lake, fishing, camping, drinking wine and enjoying the serenity of nature and its surroundings. I hope that you will love Highland Lake and the Catskills as much as I do!
