About this property

Getaway to Summit Lake

Enjoy peace and relaxation on Summit Lake. Fish, swim, and boat away the season. Our 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom vacation house in Summit, NY is located on 1.5 acres and sits on the southern end of Summit Lake. The property sleeps up to 8 guest comfortably and is ideal for a family or group of friends looking to experience all the area has to offer. Situated in Schoharie County, north end of the Catskills, you are surrounded by nature and very few neighbors on our side of the lake.

All of the home is available for use including the top floor, the main floor and the finished basement/recreation area. Both decks are available for cooking or relaxing and sunbathing. The lake sits at the bottom of the grass on our property for guests to use to play or picnic. The lake is available to use excluding motorized boats.

We are located close to numerous wedding venues, multiple skiing and snowboarding locations, and several state parks all within a 45 min - 1 hour drive from the home.

The large kitchen is fully stocked for guests who want to cook large meals or grill outside and use the updated pine dining table or the dining area on the deck.

Our home has a large upper and lower deck. During good weather a large patio dining area accommodates those who want to cook and eat outside and relax with beverages on either deck. Beautiful outdoors views to enjoy morning coffee, the sunrise, a beverage of your choice at sunset, or have a BBQ with the family on the grill (Its charcoal. We're old school). Off the patio is a yard large enough for many games at once.

For those who prefer to relax inside, there are large TVs in the living room and in the basement game area. Both offer Roku, Netflix and Amazon via the smart tv apps for an exhaustive list of movies and additional channels for tv watching. Ideal for scenarios where adults and children may want to simultaneously watch different options.

In the basement, workout equipment, and another tv entertainment area offer separate space for guests. Guest can walkout from the basement onto the lower deck and exit the home into the large yard into Summit Lake. As people come back inside via the lower deck and basement they is space to drop off dirty clothes and swimsuits into the laundry room for easy access.

Winter Wonderland!
Hands down, best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. House was immaculate, owner pays attention to every detail. Bedrooms were all clean and cozy. Bathrooms clean as well. Kids (ages 15,12,11) enjoyed the spacious basement to hang out in. Decor was beautiful throughout the house. Family room with fireplace was greatly enjoyed. Large, beautiful table was used for family dinners and board games. Kitchen was well equipped. The views are stunning throughout the home. We enjoyed family sledding right on the property since there was a lot of snow. We’d really love to visit in the warmer months to enjoy the lake and outdoors. Owner was in contact with me within a moments notice at any time during my stay, he was very friendly, professional and helpful.HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Destination wedding at 7 Ponds Farm
My nephew was getting married at 7 Ponds Farm in Summit and this house was the perfect place for the family to gather. As different members of the family arrived from all over the East Coast, the house became a gathering point as we all prepared for the festivities. The large deck and fire ring gave us a platform to unwind and catchup, the large table accommodated us all for meals, the man cave downstairs appealed to the younger adults who had their own time schedules. Details added to the environment and experience... my Mom enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders, and the house was stocked with many incidentals. I feel very blessed to have found such a lovely place so close to their wedding venue.

Perfect family stay
We loved the location, the lake, the layout of the home and the DECK!! Loved that our dog could be out on the deck and it was enclosed. We appreciated the stocked kitchen and refrigerator and paid it forward by leaving goodies and dog treats behind for the next guests. We hope to stay here again soon. Our only issues were the ice maker and the troublesome washer.

Beautiful Home With Stunning Views
Communication with property manager was excellent. During the stay smoke from Canada rolled in, manager called me personally to make sure we knew how to use the air humidifiers provided in the home. Home held 4 couples easily. Property was extremely well stocked with pots, pans, cups, plates etc. 40 minutes from Cooperstown All-Star Village. Would highly recommend this place in a heartbeat.

Convenient to Seven Ponds Farm
The property is nicely situated with many 1st and 2nd floor views of the lake. We were looking for a STR that would be convenient to the Seven Ponds Farm where we had a family rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception. The house had many nice features including recreation and fitness items in the lowest level that accesses out to the lawn fronting on the lake. We did not use these amenities, but we did make use of the great kitchen and appreciated the 4 comfortable and quiet bedrooms upstairs after two very busy days of wedding celebration at Seven PondsFarm.

Nice Lakefront Home
Very nice place to stay. It was clean and relaxing. We stayed there as a stop over between Ohio and Maine as we were traveling to go visit family. Howe Caverns are just 25 minutes away and we enjoyed visiting the caverns. Would definitely stay again if we travel through the area again.

Classic summer lake house was fun for all!
This was our first vacation since COVID rocked our worlds and it was exactly what we needed! Our group consisted of myself, my husband, our 12yrold son, our 4yrold dog Ruca, our friends(husband and wife) and their 15 and 13yrold sons. Everything about the house was represented accurately on the VRBO description so there were no surprises. The house was very clean and accommodating. Everyone was comfortable in the bedrooms, the bathrooms were well stocked with towels, tp, and even toiletries and first aid. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to cook large meals and the fridge and pantry were also well stocked with food and spices we could use if we wanted to. The boys loved the basement as it was fully finished with a tv, pool table, various exercise equipment and even Ruca loved the basket of dog toys! Despite the rain(it was basically endless most of our trip!) the boys were out in the lake swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and even playing king of the hill on the floating dock! They played football and catch in the yard despite it being soaked (again, the endless rain all summer) and Ruca had fun exploring the huge yard and playing fetch as well. We loved the deck, at times with our umbrellas, because we could see the boys pretty much wherever they were on shore or out boating. We liked not having to worry about them kayaking out of sight because there were no motor boats permitted on the lake. It was big enough to explore, but small enough that the water stayed calm and relaxing while out canoeing. Anthony was very easy to communicate with since day 1 of our booking. He was accommodating with our later check in so that the cleaners had enough time to thoroughly clean the house before our arrival. He was also upfront about the septic repair and disruption to the yard well before our stay. He offered to rebook different dates but we opted to keep our reservation and it was fine! He contacted me a few days before our stay with a ton of info about check in/out, the house, and the surrounding area, shops and even kayak rentals, which was all very helpful. He also was upfront about the washing machine trickiness so that was no big deal to use properly. I think my favorite part was getting to see the bald eagles soaring past the house and around the lake multiple times each day! Very unexpected and really exciting! Overall, we had a great experience renting this wonderful home from Anthony and would highly recommend!

Remote Vacation
Our experience was amazing! This property has everything needed to enjoy our time at the house! The yard is huge and all of the children had an incredible time playing in it. We had children ages 10 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, & 8.and each one has an amazing time away from the city. The lake had easy access from the yard, and there was a dock to jump in from. Also, there was a really cool raft to swim out to and lounge on... The best part was it was away from everything, just leave and quiet... Also, there was a fire pit that we roasted S'mores on as well, the children, (and adults,) loved this too... Can't wait to go back!!

Extended stay with family
We rented the house on Summit Lake for 3 weeks. We are very familiar with the area, and the location was perfect for us. The kids had fun fishing from the dock, swimming in the lake, and paddling around in our rental canoes. The owner was easily reachable and periodically checked in to confirm all was well. The house was well stocked with bath towels, cleaning products, and pantry staples. We will definitely be back!

What makes this property unique

The property is one of only a few with private lake access/frontage. The area is very calm and relaxing and the house is uniquely positioned to give guests a view of the lake as well as quick access to the water. For groups that simply want to picnic, or play in the yard between the home and the lake you can do so while maintaining privacy.
