Panther Lake Waterfront. Dock and deck, on water with hot tub. Rent our boat!

Summer vacation rental on Panther Lake! Also available to rent the rest of the year for snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing, salmon fishing (just 20 minutes away) or just a relaxing getaway on the lake. Right on the water with your own dock with stairs leading into the water. New for 2021 is a 5 person hot tub in our remodeled three season room! Bring your boat OR... ASK ABOUT RENTING OUR BOAT FOR YOUR STAY! Great fishing, swimming, and water skiing or tubing. Relax on the large two-level deck and watch the sunset by the fire pit. Professionally landscaped. Central air conditioned. Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Can sleep 11+.
Huge master bedroom with a king sized bed and master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub. Enough room to setup a blowup mattress and/or crib as well.

Ice fishing is extremely popular during winter. Great for snowmobiling as the trail is just down the road. Monthly and weekly discounts available.

Check in was very easy and Miles was so quick to communicate with us on anything needed. The kitchen was amazing; had everything we needed to cook all week with plenty of beautiful dishes. Loved the coffee/tea bar. This house is spacious and beautiful; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fun games for the family, along with puzzles. We rented the pontoon boat, which was a ton of fun as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We planned a very last minute weekend getaway and Miles was easy to work with and very timely with answers to any questions we had. We enjoyed playing board games, darts, ping pong, and the kids had a great time sledding. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back in the summer to be able to enjoy the lake.

We had a wonderful stay at Panther Lake. The house was immaculate, spacious and so welcoming. There were so many touches that made it clear that much thought was put into the house and making sure it has everything a renter might want/need.

Wonderful family getaway

The week started out a little rocky with power and water going out due to power outages. Miles communicated well through the ordeal and provided a partial refund. Overall the house was as described and very clean. We loved the use of the tubes and kayak. Parking was easy as well as check-in and check-out. We loved our stay and would recommend 100%!

Excellent lake house

Great spot to spend some time with family and friends. House has every toy (boat, kayak, paddle board, paddle wheeler, ping pong table, darts, hot tub, fire pit) for all age ranges to keep the fun meter at high throughout the stay. Love the large dining room table where everyone can comfortably gather and enjoy food and games. Miles was always responsive and a great host. Hope to return in winter when the lake freezes over.

Great place!

Beautiful, clean spacious home for all to enjoy. Our family ranged in age from 13 months-86 years old. We had great weather and were in the water everyday. We are from the city and appreciated the sandy bottom of the lake and no seaweed. The steps going into the lake were perfect for my 86 year old father. Beautiful sunsets every night! We will be back!

Nice Spring Break Getaway

We stayed there during the spring break with several teens. It was a cozy and comfortable house by the lake. Miles was very responsive and helpful with all of my questions. The neighborhood was quiet, secluded. The house has a nice lake view we enjoyed while barbecuing at the deck. Kids enjoyed the table tennis and the dart at the basement. Overall, we were very happy and well rested after a long, dreadful upstate NY winter.
