Das Mayfly Inn

Discover the Mayfly Inn at The Chapin Estate, an Adirondack-inspired lakefront sanctuary where rustic elegance meets refined leisure. Tucked within a private natural setting, this exceptional compound has been thoughtfully curated for those who value craftsmanship, comfort, and the timeless allure of waterfront living. From the moment you arrive, Mayfly Inn reveals itself in layers. Warm wood tones, lodge-style architecture, and bespoke details create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and effortless. The main living spaces are designed for gathering—grand yet inviting, with a natural flow that encourages conversation, connection, and quiet moments by the fire. Beyond the traditional bedrooms, the home offers additional bunkrooms and flexible recreational spaces, ideal for hosting extended family and accommodating guests with ease and sophistication. Curated furnishings ensure the home is ready to enjoy from the very first day. Exceptional features of this home include a full dog wash station, billiard’s corner, full bar in lower den with lake view and a stone archway leading to an artfully designed wine cellar. Outdoors, the property is truly a private resort. An oversized connecting breezeway serves as a covered deck for outdoor dining and fireside chats. In the distance, a dock extends into the waters of the Toronto Reservoir, offering a front-row seat to sunrise paddles, afternoon swims, and evenings when the lake turns to glass. The grounds are enriched with thoughtful amenities, including a charming putting green perfect for leisurely practice or friendly competition. A 4-seater ATV makes navigating these 5 acres a breeze. Every corner of Mayfly Inn is designed to elevate the experience of being here—whether it’s a summer weekend filled with laughter, a crisp autumn escape, or a winter retreat where the world feels wonderfully still. This is more than a lake house; it’s a place where memories gather, traditions deepen, and the beauty of the Catskills becomes part of your everyday rhythm.
