Deruyter home on lake

We needed a place to stay for few days while we were in town. This cute little house was perfect. The hosts were awesome and communication was great we actually checked out a little late with no issues and couldn’t have been happier !! Definitely would stay again in the future

Lake side fun

Overall this property was good. Check in and out was easy and communication with the property manager was great. One big downside was the amount of webs and spiders inside the residence and dead gnats on the countertops that had been accumulating over time. Some of the areas the webs are are extremely high. Not a huge deal, we cleaned what we could reach and still had a blast. We took our 21' pontoon boat and used the dock. The dock was serviceable for our needs but def could use some attention. Lake views were gorgeous. All in all we would stay here again!

We had a great Time and enjoyed the place on the water.

What caught my eyes was the fact that this place was right on the reservoir and we are able to use the dock as our own personal place to swim and enjoy ourselves. The property was well maintained and the owner was very pleasant to connect with back and forth. It was very quite there , no noise from other houses or people. We were within driving distance of all kinds of places. The internet speeds were very good. I have 3 kids and of course everyone was on the network and the speeds were excellent. I did bring my own Apple TVs with me as I have my own streaming sources I like to use while there was down time, but there was smart apps on the TVs. I will definitely be making reservations for next year. Thanks again.

Family weekend

I booked the De Ruyter home as my niece was graduating from Syracuse and several of my siblings wanted to stay together. We had a tremendous time. Kim was a terrific host and answered all our questions quickly. the house is terrific. It has 2 bedrooms in the main house and a side boat house with a bunk bed. The kitchen has everything you can use. There is one bathroom that is smartly configured to have a separate shower room and toilet room with the sink outside the 2 rooms. There were 5 of us in the house but the one bathroom was never an issue. The dock is terrific and we spent a lot of time out there. We stayed in early May so the dock extension wasn't yet in the water. there were kayaks to use but we were pretty busy so did not get a chance to use them. Thanks for a great weekend.

Mouse in the house

We were all so grossed out we left as soon as we could. They need to consider having professional cleaners to ready this property for rental. Views were great, we just couldn’t see it through the veil of cobwebs and spiders. The bonus room reeked of mildew. Refrigerator was dirty. Had to buy a mouse trap and set it out, 3 am it sprang shut. Random people showed up on our dock and patio to fish and blast music. Outside vegetation is very overgrown. We had to use fans as there is no AC…owner did buy one new one and the other two were covered in grime. Linens were clean. The bathroom shower situation is very odd and tight. Lots of dusty clutter throughout the house. Not fun when you have to clean every day. We have two families that own property on the lake…they came to visit and were disgusted with what they saw as they knew what it looked like with the previous owner. Shameful.

Charming

Our stay was great. The house is very well equipped with anything that you would need. The house is right on the lake and has a charming rustic quality about it. Can’t wait to come back. My mother in law and husband spent many summer days on DeRuyter lake and now we have great memories of the lake too.

Awesome but some quirks

My wife and I stayed at this property for a 2-night stay on a recent frigid cold weekend in January. Our hosts were so nice and accommodating, answering all questions and stocking the house with coffee, snacks, and some wine of our choosing. We had a delightful experience. Without a doubt it is all about the view and the house’s design to accentuate it. We were there when the lake was frozen and snowy, and I can only imagine how wonderful the view must be in the summer, but the winter view had a majesty of its own. The house is furnished and decorated nicely with special touches and comfy blankets. The living room with its full wall of windows provided an amazing view, as well as the 2 bedrooms situated at the corner of the house. The main room and kitchen felt so spacious because of the tall ceilings, and we enjoyed watching some shows on the giant wall mounted TV while having the fireplace on and kitchen close by to grab a quick bite now and then. The heat was uneven but was manageable with just my wife and I, although if you had people staying in both bedrooms at the same time there might be an issue to find common ground. All the good totally outweighs any of the quirky aspects of the house including an odd bathroom setup, some cracks in the walls and slightly slanted floors in areas. On the outside, you park your car right off the road by the doorway so unloading your bags is extremely easy and efficient. The separate structure with another bedroom was not open in the winter so I can’t comment on that, but as I noted this place must be great for a summer stay.

Relaxing Waterfront Stay

My family and I really enjoyed our stay on DeRuyter Reservoir. The house is beautifully positioned to give a wonderful view of the lake. We had such a relaxing time we barely left the house except for walks around the reservoir and a hike in the nearby state park. I loved waking up to the sunrise while having my morning coffee and the soft sounds of the lake as I fell asleep at night. My nephew did plenty of fishing and we used the kayaks and paddleboat throughout the visit. I plan on visiting again.

Excellent location, right on the water

The property is nice and location is great. You are right on the lake so views were unbeatable. My family & I stayed here for a couple of nights. The kitchen is stocked and we were provided with wine and cheese at arrival, nice touch. The host was very responsive.

Lake house perfection!

We loved our relaxing stay in this beautiful house! The windows let in so much light and fresh air, not to mention the gorgeous views of the lake. The morning fog over lake is breath-taking. We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning. The house itself is cozy and also spacious. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. When we weren't lounging on the deck, we took the kayaks and paddleboat around the lake. We would love to visit this house again.
