Seneca Lodge

This is the home at which to gather with your friends. Entry to the home is on the wide-open main floor where you’ll find numerous spaces in which to gather, or to find a little quite space, yet still be in the mix. The kitchen is beautiful! 6 burner stainless Viking range, multiple ovens, warming drawer, pantry, micro, sub zero, custom copper sinks, and a 10’ long live-edge slab bar/island with fabulous stools made from apple and cherry wood where your guests will gather round to keep the chef company.

Huge, flared cedar log posts support the log framework overhead and serve to define the various spaces. One corner houses a fabulous game table while the opposite is your dining area…a one-piece, natural live-edge, redwood slab table harvested from a dead California tree, surrounded by 12 maple and apple chairs crafted by a preeminent artisan in the Adirondacks. Glass French doors stretch across the full 60’ width of the space providing panoramic views of Otsego Lake and Mt Wellington, on the far side of the water. A cozy grouping of sofas and chairs surrounds the natural wood burning fireplace. A TV sitting area and a private glass enclosed office provide additional gathering spaces.

Caygua Lodge South

Down the massive stone steps and past the double waterfall, swing open the hand-carved cedar door and you have entered your dream vacation home. The wide-open Main Floor is where family and friends gather with each room exposed to vistas of Otsego Lake and The Sleeping Lion Mountain. The kitchen is very well appointed with Wolf range, built-in Sub-Zero Fridge and Azko dishwasher. A pair of hand-hammered sinks and faucets are fabricated from solid copper as is the stove hood, which was made by our local blacksmith.

Catch a ride in the 3-stop private elevator to the Upper Floor, which is dedicated to the master suite. This entire level has vaulted, wainscoted ceilings with 8 electronic skylights and shades. Step into the spa-like bathroom and indulge yourself in the deep, jetted soaking tub or enjoy the glass-walled shower area that features 2 shower heads and a series of adjustable body sprays; very relaxing! Relax in the soft leather club chairs in front of a gas fireplace in the sitting room; step through the French doors to a lake view balcony and don't miss the frame of a 60-year old canoe that hangs in the hallway near the top of the tree.

Down the hand-built log staircase is the Lake Level where the lucky guests will find two beautifully furnished bedroom suites; one features a marble walled bathroom and the other a granite bathroom; both with AHP Signature pedestal sinks and clear glass frameless showers. Here, on the Lake Level is the family room with wet bar and wine fridge, flat screen tv and comfy leather furniture including a queen sleeper sofa. Outside the French doors is a 30-foot long bluestone patio with a circular wrought iron stair up to the Main Level and stone steps that lead visitors down to the lake and The Boathouse.

Oneida Lodge North

With rugged and distinctive architectural lines and a straightforward interior design, OLN offers a level of luxury and comfort not found elsewhere in the area. The focal point of this 3,200 square foot lodge is a masterfully designed, 3-story log staircase that winds around an ancient white pine tree. “Rooted” in the natural slate flooring of the Lake Level wet bar area, this hand-polished behemoth rises through the Main and Upper Levels and tops out 42-feet above; up against a bank of 4 electronically controlled sky lights.

All the while, treads of half-logs balanced on a single spiral beam rotate up the 48″ diameter trunk, protected by railings constructed from cedar and black birch twigs. The equally impressive floor to ceiling mirror reflects the art-turned-staircase, as well as the abundant natural light from the skylights above. Stepping back from the stair railing, guests will appreciate the wide-open floor plan of the Main Level and take in the sweeping view of Otsego Lake through multiple sets of French Doors. A secondary focal point is the chef’s kitchen, which was custom designed and built by a local Amish cabinetmaker from character cherry wood with maple details. Copper sinks and faucets, muted earth-tone granite counters, along with SubZero, Wolf and Azko appliances and an array of unusual touches add to the ambiance of the cathedral ceilinged space.

The Great Room houses a flat screen TV in front of a very comfortable and large seating arrangement. Nestled in the corner and flanked by 15-foot long walls of glass is the solid slab, mahogany dining table. Hanging above from a beam is a handcrafted stained-glass light of just-the-right-colors providing a soft glow against the naturally colored Douglas fir logs. Another leather sofa and pair of red leather chairs are placed about the wood-burning fireplace and provide an ideal space to read or simply catch a few winks.

The entire Upper Level has vaulted, wainscoted ceilings and showcases the hand peeled, post and beam frame. Here are two welcoming bedrooms…a king and a queen, both with walk-in closets and lake view balconies from which the ducks and geese can be heard making their riot, along with the soothing sounds of waves lapping at the beach. Both bedrooms have flat screen TV’s and pairs of electronic skylights with screens and shades.
