Sweet, petite, and recently renovated, this charming lakefront cabin is perfectly set up for weekends away and fun in the sun! A charming open kitchen and living room greet you with easy access to the outdoors, views of the lake, and plenty of space to gather with friends. This level is completed with the first bedroom, laundry, and the home’s spacious full bathroom — including a double vanity, subway tile, and slate floors. The gracious oversized second bedroom can be found peacefully tucked away upstairs. This serene space can easily accommodate a king-sized bed plus a home office or exercise spot as well. The large deck that flows seamlessly off of the kitchen is the perfect spot for dining al fresco and watching the sunset over the lake. Take your relaxation to the next level with the new hot tub and fire pit set up in the backyard — an ideal way to round out a fun day in the Catskills! Briscoe Lake is 59 acres and no motorboats are allowed, so you’ll enjoy nothing but peace and quiet on your private lakeside platform. An 1875 one-room schoolhouse sits beside the main house adding potential to expand the property (electricity can be added back). This auxiliary building is a blank slate that would make an amazing office, studio, or workshop! The basement, accessible via glass sliders under the deck, is an ideal place to store your paddle boards, kayaks, etc! Recent improvements to the property include an extensive renovation with all new plumbing, electrical, windows, kitchen, back deck, ductless heating/cooling, new hot tub, and more. Fun is truly at your fingertips with this convenient location that is only 12-15 mins to Bethel Woods Performing Art Center, Kauneonga Lake (featured Travel+Leisure), and Lake Superior State Park. Jeffersonville, Kenoza Lake, and Livingston Manor — all 15 mins or less away — have bountiful options for excellent dining, shopping, farmer’s markets, spa services, and the brand new Catskill Art Space. Under 2 hours to NYC!

This charming renovated home is efficiently spread across just over 1,000 sq ft! The smartly designed living/kitchen area is where guests will gather – and with direct access to the back deck, it’s easy to envision how much time will be spent enjoying the outdoors here. This level also offers a sizable bedroom, laundry room, and the home's spacious full bath! The second level is entirely devoted to the second bedroom which could easily accommodate a small office in addition to a king size bed. The property has undergone an extensive renovation with all new plumbing, electrical, windows, kitchen, back deck, ductless heating/cooling, and so much more! Since the listing photos were taken the Seller has added railings to the newly completed back deck and trees have been removed to open the lakeview from the house. Plus, the walkout basement is the perfect place to store your paddle boards, canoes, etc! The lake is 59 acres and no motorboats are allowed, so you’ll enjoy peace and quiet on your private lakeside platform. The generous back deck is the perfect place for meals, the backyard has more than one great spot for a fire pit, and the lake can be enjoyed equally from an Adirondack chair or a kayak! And in addition to a carport, there’s also an 1875-built schoolhouse on the property (electric can be added back) that you can bring your imagination to. There’s also plenty to explore! 12 mins to Bethel Woods Performing Art Center, 13 mins to Kauneonga Lake (recently written about in Travel+Leisure), 15 mins to Lake Superior State Park, and 16 mins to oh-so-charming Livingston Manor. Plus, just a quick 1 hr 45 mins to/from NYC!
