Classic little cabin for a lake getaway. Covered porch with lake view perfect for morning coffee and dinner. Just-right sized lake to do a circuit in the kayaksâwe saw loons and a bald eagleâand walk the lake loop road. We stayed cool even during a heatwave. Nice welcoming touches and great communication and suggestions. Would stay there again!
Beautiful, picturesque setting. perfect place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate. Owners were super accessible and even came and helped us with the grill and getting another boat out for us to enjoy
The house is stacked with anything you may need Perfect spot to attend cooperstown baseball tournaments. We could have stayed in the rocking chairs on the porch all day and night. Thank you for the wonderful stay
The cabin is very clean, with a nice porch on the lake. Coffee in the morning on the lake was quite nice. There is an outdoor shower which is private and the hot water comes on quickly. The water inside is not potable, and there are obvious signs not to drink it. The hosts provide drinking water. They also provide lots of snacks/coffee/toothbrushes and other amenities you may need. Electric outlets are somewhat sparse but manageable.
It brought us back in time to when we spent childhood summers in a real camp. This had many thoughtful touches and was preserved in the original as much as possible.
Loved everything about this historic gem.
While others in the Baseball Tournament mostly stayed in Cooperstown area hotels, we felt extremely blessed to enjoy this idyllic property. Rustic, yes, but very comfortable and warm inside for this time of year. Would stay here again!
We spent a long weekend at this lovely cottage at the end of September and were so happy with our choice. The cottage is simple and rustic, but that is exactly what we were looking for and it was just the perfect size for our family group of my husband and me and our daughter and son-in-law. (There is also a futon and an air mattress, so more people certainly could have stayed too.) It was wonderful to wake up each morning in the front bedroom to the sun rising over the lake and then spend the day on the porch or deck, enjoying the lake, which is absolutely pristine and so quiet. Our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed swimming and paddle boating. The living room has a gas-fired stove, which was nice in the early morning and in the cooler fall temps at night. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every pot, pan, utensil you could need for any meal, and a full-size gas stove and oven, roomy full fridge, etc. We used the outdoor grill one evening, and later enjoyed a great fire in the fire pit for several hours. Plenty of firewood available, and complimentary s'mores makings. The outdoor shower was refreshingâplenty of hot water and just steps away from the cottage, very private, under a beautiful tree canopy. We arrived on a very rainy afternoon, and were grateful for Michele's recommendations for places nearby in Oneonta to have a cozy lunch and buy local farm produce. Thanks so much, Michele! We hope to return one day.
This property was amazing. It was peaceful, quiet and had everything needed for a lovely family getaway. Michelle was helpful and came out to make sure we had boats ready for paddling. It is rustic, there is little to no cell service. That was perfect.
Had an amazing stay at Micheleâs property. The camp was everything explained on the listing. Very clean and cozy. Very clean lake with great views. Would high recommend and will be booking again in the near future.
From the moment we walked in, we loved it. The cabin was rustic yet quaint with everything we needed. It was nice to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with family time; no tv, no internet, no interruptions. We spent hours on the porch enjoying the serenity of the lake, fishing from the dock (our kids caught hundreds throughout the week and the lake is crystal clear), kayaking, row boating and just enjoying nature. The home is fully stocked with dishes and disposable goods, life jackets, fishing rods too. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator, hot plate, microwave, toaster oven all perfect for cooking breakfast and a gas grill. Birds hatched in the outdoor shower, we made friends with the chipmunk who would scamper across the porch, our baseball player and team brought home the championship which topped the cake. Our trip to New York and Arnold Lake is hands down one of our most memorable family vacations to date!
wonderful cabin on a beautiful little lake. Very peaceful!!
Quaint and very clean cabin on beautiful Arnold Lake. We were very pleased with our stay. The cottage had everything we needed, but be warned that it is minimalistic....and has no internet, TV, and only spotty phone service (which is just what we were looking for!). The entire house was very clean and truly charming. The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs and are all only separated by partial walls (open at the very top and bottom), so best for folks who are very comfortable with each other. Michelle was an attentive and accommodating hostess, and was very easy to work with. We would highly recommend this cottage, and are already planning our next stay there.
This little cabin has the utmost charm of an original 1920's lake cabin. Our host Bobbie, greeted us the day we arrived with all the details of the cabin. The porch was the highlight in the sun, the rain, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its a quiet area, the lake is clean and fantastic to swim in, fish or paddle on. I had a great stay and would definitely return!

We are a local family of five siblings that own the lake home together. The place has been in the family for more than 30 years. As diverse as can be, we are a business owner, construction manager, a farmer, a pastor and a professor. We have 10 children between us. We are fortunate to spend many summer days together cooking, fishing, hiking, and rocking on the porch.
The lake house was originally purchased by our mother as a place where we could all come together in the summers. Her dream was to make this cabin a place where many memories were made, and that would be passed down for generations to come. We are working on both the memory-making and the passing down for generations.
Simple, connected to the land and the lake. This is what most of us dream of when we think about a Northeast lake place. We happen to be fortunate to own it and love sharing with others.
