Quiet Country Log Home on three ponds. All we overlook is the scenery..

Peace and quiet only that the country and the stars can give you. This sprawling ranch log home consists of 3 bedrooms, (total sleeping accommodations for 9, 10 if one on LR sofa), 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen with all appliances, dining room, and living room. A fieldstone propane-fired fireplace (winter use only) is shared by both the living room and dining room, both with a view of the private pond and natural country foliage. Other amenities include central air conditioning, and two full-size hot water heaters for good hot showers. Although very private in location, the high speed fiber optic internet and living room Smart TV allow you to stay connected. You can use your own Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime accounts on this TV.

The home features a large front deck and covered porch overlooking the ponds where Canadian Geese nest in the spring, and bullfrogs sound off in summer evenings. The back covered porch is an ideal location to watch deer and turkey wander in from the woods for their dinner in the backyard apple orchard. The 40 acre grounds consist of a forest with hiking trails, meadows and rolling hills, bass ponds around the yards (catch and release only), rowboat and canoe. Firepit by front pond with covered, lighted picnic table area, apple orchard, and a creek for fishing at the back of the property boundary.
No light pollution here. You can see the Milky Way overhead in our backyard on clear nights.
Snowmobilers are welcome here, and the home is a mile from local snowmobile trails that connect to the Tug Hill and the ADKs. Only 3 miles from Interstate-81, 10 minutes to fishing for Salmon, Steelhead and Browns in the Salmon River, 25 minutes to Oneida Lake, 20 minutes to Lake Ontario.
This home has been host to workers at the Nine-Mile and Fitzpatrick power plants during the yearly scheduled nuclear shutdowns. Plenty of room for you, big wallmount living room smart TV, and easy parking for 4-5 vehicles.
This home has been host to fishermen entered in the national bass tournaments here in Central New York. Lots of room here to park your bass boats in the back yard, very private, secure and way off the road. Easily room for 4-5 bass boats, and plenty of car/truck parking too.
This home has hosted families during spring graduation time at Syracuse University and Oswego State. 20 minute from the Syracuse International airport, private and sprawling yards for relaxing.
We have a few ice skates and cross-country skis here for winter rentals. (See picture) Plenty of fields and forest to ski in.
With good ice, you can skate on the pond.

NOTE: The washer and dryer/laundry room is available for rentals of 5 (five) nights or longer. For rentals of 3-4 nights, the laundry room is locked. The assumption is that you are able to bring enough changes of clothes/towels with you for your shorter stay.
NOTE: We can sometimes accommodate up to a late checkout of 4 PM for a $100 fee, but you'll need to ask beforehand. [If another renter is coming the day you are leaving, this is not possible, as we need to clean] If you have a normal checkout time of 11 AM, please be considerate and check out by 11 AM.
If you are considering an early check-in, possibly as early as 11 am, please ask beforehand to see if it's possible. The same $100 fee will apply.

Slice of Paradise
This is a beautiful log home tucked away off the road with acres of hiking and several ponds, and exactly what I was looking for. This week was flaming hot so most of our time was spent inside, as my 2 elderly pups couldn't go on long walks in the heat any more than I could. The amount of work and love that the owners have put into making their home special is palpable. We were fortunate to have met the owners, amazing people. Can't wait to come back! Thx Bruce and Caryn. And wait til you see the night sky!

Well appointed cabin
It rained but we were well taken care of in the cabin. Lots of space for family to be rather the stuck in close quarters and then when sun came out front deck / yard was lovely. Well appointed cabin- everything you could think of was at hand in the kitchen. Great stay!

Group going Salmon fishing
The place was located perfectly for our group salmon fishing trip. Clean and layout was great for our needs. The only downfall was the rain. We are booking again with Bruce. The communication on checking in and out was fantastic.

The log ranch had spaces with enough room for all 8 of us to gather together for meals and games. There were several locations inside and out for privacy as desired. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all we needed to prepare great meals. Outside lawns were perfect for bocce games and the collection of Adirondack chairs scattered around and the deck furniture made outdoor living very pleasant. The weather was hot but the pond was ideal for a swim to cool off. Inside temperatures were ideal.

Quick vacation
The floors were being redone in our house so we had to find another place to stay for 6 days that would allow us to bring our Golden Retriever, Max. The house was perfect. 4 ponds for the kids and dog to play in. Beautiful property with a lot of wildlife to sit and watch. We were able to relax and enjoy our mini vacation.

Home away from home
The location of Bruce & Caryn's property is great. Even though there are neighbors nearby, they have enough acreage that you don't realize they are there. We had plenty of lawn space to play the outdoor games we had brought with us. The 2 ponds right outside the front door of the property are nice to look at, but we also used them for cooling down on the hot days. Because the ponds are on the smaller side, we looked up nearby lakes/boat launches to use our kayaks. We had everything we needed including all kitchen conveniences, bedding, towels, etc. Walmart and fast food options were close by and any activity we considered was within 20 minutes. While we were there we went to a state park with a beach and did an escape room at Destiny USA Mall in Syracuse. The hot tub was a huge plus, especially since it rained a couple of days during our stay. The back screened in porch (with the hot tub) was perfect for playing games and just hanging out. Bruce was very responsive and kept us apprised of his need to come to the property to pick up some items he needed for a family situation while we there. There was one thing that happened that was a little disappointing. Bruce had provided us with directions on how to get to a creek on the property. We followed the directions but ended up having to turn back. After walking through the woods for a while, following the orange and yellow ties on the trees, we never found a path that led right to the creek.
