End of Summer Escape
Out weekend at Paradise Getaway was just what we expected. The kitchen was very well-stocked with utensils, pots, pans,etc. The beds were clean and there were ample towels for all 11 of us. Having the pool, the anmazing view of the lake, and fabulous weather took it up a level. It was the break that everyone needed and that is why we give it a 5!

There were 6 adults and 3 children 1 ,5,6 the toys for the children was unbelievable ,the deck or pool area to enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book was breathtaking. We swam everyday . Cazenovia was a hop skip and a jump. Fresh produce from farms around the area was so good. Shawn had emergency fire blankets outside by the grill and in the kitchen we had never seen any before and fortunately we didn’t need them but when we returned home we ordered them for all our family members . Thank you Shawn for sharing your home.

Paradise Getaway Log Home
Our stay at the Paradise Getaway Log Home was wonderful! The home was clean, well stocked & beautifully decorated inside and out. The views from every room in the home were amazing, as were the views from the furnished patio deck. The outside lights & landscaping were gorgeous, (so many colorful flowers & shrubs). The host was friendly & helpful, giving us tips & directions to several of the areas attractions & restaurants. The location was great too. There were four different disc golf courses within a 30 minute drive & several parks with hiking trails & incredible waterfalls all within 15 minutes. Thank you Shawn for sharing your lovely log home with us for the weekend. We only wish we had more time to enjoy the heated pool & lake.

An Excellent Vacation Home for Families with Children
Our stay at the DeRuyter Lake House was perfect. The kids loved the playroom, games, toys, craft supplies and swing set. We also loved the pool and pool deck with furniture and water toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Hoping to rent again.

The property is wonderful, and well equipped with everything imaginable in the kitchen, as advertised, including basic spices/seasonings, pasta, potatoes. So many small appliances are available in the cabinets. Beds were comfortable. All towels, sheets, etc. were provided. So convenient, very quiet and Shawn is a very responsive owner. Would absolutely rent again!

The property is everything as advertised and more. Great overall experience with family as we had our short stay over a graduation weekend. Owners were very prompt and accommodating and property was well stocked and clean (not to mention the spectacular view of the lake you wake up to every day). We only wish we had more time to explore the lake and area….

Family Get Away exceeded our Expectations
The reviews said this property was well stocked but it blew us away all that they provided to make our stay all we dreamed it would be. The kitchen had every possible spice and condiment, canned good you could need as well as dozens of pots, pans, dishes, and small appliance you could want. Crockpot, griddle, immersion blender, if we looked- we found it. The toys, games, arts and crafts closet, and pool floats and toys were more than we ever imagined. And the house itself lent itself to time together and to private conversations because to our surprise the sound did not travel from room to room as we expected it would. The kids in the playroom could not be heard upstairs and if in the kitchen you couldn't really hear goings on in the living room. We just felt so welcome and cared for, and it had such an impact on our few days there. The only thing we didn't do was to Kayaak and that was because the launch was so overgrown we opted not venture into the mucky water. We all hope to return and encourage anyone who would like a getaway to check it out.

Check in/out process
The property was wonderful and the owner was great with communication. However the checkin and out process was a bit much. He met us at the house to go over rules I am glad I was not alone as I would have felt uncomfortable being out in the country alone at a strangers home with a man. The checkout process was a bit much we were supposed to text the night before we left to schedule a time. That was difficult for us as we were all trying to leave at different times to get home to our families and still get the house cleaned in time. Overall it was a great stay listing was as expected rooms were clean. Id recommend staying here and stay again but just keep in mind the checkin and out process.

Shawn isn't kidding when he says his property has just about everything you need. I wonderful swimming pool, multiple water craft, a dock for fishing, a house full of toys and craft supplies. We did a family trip that included 3 3 year olds, a 5 year old and an 8 year old. The 3 year olds were in heaven in the basement playroom and all the kids had a blast as well as the adults.

Great place for gathering
The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with pots, pans, baking supplies, etc. The common area had an AMAZING view and very comfy and plentiful recliners. A game closet and pool table kept everyone entertained for a very rainy week. We were disappointed that the s'mores kits was a communal bin that other guests had accessed...would highly recommended packaging s'mores for each party staying on the property. The pool was wonderful and heated, so we enjoyed it even when it was raining. Property was picturesque and we loved bird watching!! We had an issue with a leaking fish tank that was promptly addressed by the owner. Overall, a wonderful stay!
