Escape to the Lake! Located on the sought-after west side of DeRuyter Lake, this classic three-season cottage offers 57 feet of pristine waterfront and everything you need for unforgettable summers. The main camp features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, an open living/kitchen area, and a cozy enclosed porch with stunning lake views—the perfect spot for morning coffee, rainy day card games, or watching the sunset. Just steps away, a separate bunkhouse provides 2 additional bedrooms and a half bath—ideal for guests, kids, or extended family. The .33-acre lot is manageable, with mature trees and expansive lake views. Easy steps lead directly into the water, offering convenient access for swimming, paddling, or launching a kayak—making it a true lake lover’s retreat. Bonus features include a full, unfinished basement with laundry (washer & dryer included), and plenty of storage space for all your water toys. This is the kind of lakefront property that rarely hits the market—low-maintenance, high-enjoyment, and ready for your next chapter of lakeside living.
