YouTube search "LoZa House vacation rentals" for videos of the property and units.
The Adirondack Skydeck unit of the LoZa House has cedar finishings that gives you the cabin feeling with a Superb view of Lake Champlain, and stunning sunsets/sunrises from the sunroom and Skydeck. Whether you are sitting on the Skydeck, outside on the shore or inside with the windows open you can enjoy the sound of the water lapping on the rocky shore.
The Skydeck with it's geodesic dome, situated on the rooftop of LoZa House, affords you an unobstructed 360 degree view of the surrounding area. The geodesic dome allows you to enjoy the views even during inclimate weather. Although it is un-heated the dome is still available during the winter months.
Peace and tranquility of the country but only 12 minutes from downtown Plattsburgh, shopping/restaurant strip and very long Plattsburgh City public beach.
The 270 degree rocky waterfront on our property can be reached either by walking the grassy slopes, or using the 2 flights of stairs. There are two rocky beaches/swimming locations on the property - the north side and the east side. The east side has a rocky shoreline, and a dock, with deeper waters ideal for teens and adults or little ones if parents are in the water with them. The east side waterline also has a picnic table and large parasol at your disposal to enjoy a meal with the waterline right next to you. The north side rocky beach/shoreline on our property has much shallower waters ideal for younger children of age 5+ who can typically get in and out of the water easily by themselves if they have the right footwear for the rocky beach consisting mostly of small rocks. Near the east side rocky shoreline there is a Solo Stove firepit for you to roast marshmallows or hotdogs. On the north side there is a picnic table and fire pit. Of note, sturdy water shoes [or something like them] are recommended while swimming so please bring these along with you to optimize your enjoyment while in the waters adjacent to the property. You also have access to a paddle boat. Canoes, kayaks, and boats can be rented nearby [we can help/guide you with this if required].
Besides dipping yourself into the lake waters off either the North or East rocky shorelines at the edge of the property there is also the outdoor [chlorine] hot tub you can dip yourself into. Often in the summer we keep this as a small pool for the kids (minimal heat), or we can adjust to adult temperatures for a relaxing soak in a steaming traditional hot tub. Upon prior notice the temperature can be adjusted as you like. Typically, we turn the heat down in the summer to allow a cool place to relax while enjoying the spectacular views of the lake. In the colder months we can adjust the temperature to accommodate adults or children.
In addition, the Plattsbugh public beach, one of the biggest fresh water beaches in the country, is only a 10 min drive from the house.
The house is located on a dead-end branch of a dead-end street, creating a quiet place to play, ruminate, and relax.
We do live on the premises [upper 2 floors of the main house], as such the grounds are shared with us, and any guests in the other two units at LoZa House. This unit is located above the garage and you have your own separate exterior entrance. The Adirondack Skydeck unit contains a queen Murphy bed [sleeps 2], a queen sleeper sofa [sleeps 2] and a large CordaRoy bean bag chair that can convert to a queen mattress on the floor [sleeps 2]. The kitchenette has a small stove, bar fridge, dishwasher, microwave, a coffee machine, and blender. There is also a propane gas BBQ for your use. The laundry area has a full size washer and dryer.
The bedroom has a fold up desk so you can work in secluded place away from the activity in the rest of the unit.
When it is too cold or windy outside for comfortable stays on the Skydeck there is a expandable table (4 to 6 people) for eating or working inside. You are free to use the large HD TV [with Netflix and Disney+], and electric gas fireplace. Toys for young children (ages 3-7) can be arranged with prior notice.
Your private bathroom contains a shower, toilet, and sink.
There is a large driveway for kids to play on as well as playground containing a two-story play structure with 3 swings, 3 slides, and a small climbing wall. These areas are shared with our kids and the other two vacation rentals at LoZa House.
The hot tub is also shared with us [mostly our kids], of course, we will give you priority of use of while you are staying with us to optimize your vacation experience while you are here at LoZa House.
We have a young golden doodle who will love you to death [if you let him], and two young children of early grade school age. We live on the upper two floors above the Adirondack floor. Although the play area is also shared with the dog (named Leone - meaning Lion in italian), he is never left outside unattended. If there is a dog loose on the property please let us know and we will bring the dog back to the neighbor's house - some neighbors have pets that find it difficult to remain on their own land [we are working on resolving this and it is getting better].
NOTE: Services available in English, Français, and Italiano.
Guests access the Adirondack Skydeck unit via the play area and the wooden steps leading up that are visible from the driveway.

Also, we are always very quickly available to address any issues that may arise and address them very quickly - a real benefit of having the hosts on-site.

If you like rustic style with a touch of grandiose luxury surrounded by natural resources and beautiful views the Adirondack Skydeck unit of LoZa House is for you.
NOTE: New for summer 2023. Threel units are located LoZa House: the Adirondack Screened-in Porch unit with its east facing views of lake and mountains, and the Adirondack Skydeck with its sunroom and Skydeck with its geodesic dome (This rooftop deck is reserved for those staying in the Adirondack Skydeck unit only) . Each unit, like yours, can sleep up to 6 people, however, from past experience, 95% of all booking have been 2-3 people only.
It’s such an unique and wonderful experience staying in Loza house. The sky deck unit is just the perfect size for our small family. It has all the convenient amenities for family life, fully equipped kitchen, brand new and high quality product and appliance in the unit, kayak for my husband, hot tub for me and playground for our toddler. Super clean and beautiful view in every corner. Our toddler didn’t want to leave this vacation house at the time of checking out. We have so much fun and will be back for sure!
We came to town with few activities to do. This was the perfect home base. From early mornings and middays, the large windows provided a gorgeous view of the lake and the lake’s birds. We even saw 2 eagles.
The place was amazing. Incredible view of Lake Champlain. All the comfort and amenities one could ask for. Will definitely return. Thank you Jon. PS enjoy those beautiful children, they grow up so fast.
The owner is the best ! the property is great we love it so much will come back again.
What fantastic property for any type of getaway or vacation! The hosts have thought of everything and ready/available if needed. The unit offer incredible views of the lake out of almost every room but offer some great privacy. The unit offered ample space for my family (of 3 for this trip) to all be in the same room or apart when we need (put our daughter to sleep - while we stayed up). Our trip was in late August and sun still strong, we didn’t notice the heat of the day because of the central air (split units not window). The unit is well insulated for any from the others. Supplies were plenty and the cleanliness was top notch. And lastly, the host were just what we needed for our trip - very responsive but committed to making our stay what we needed. We are avid short rental people and our plan is to return, we might check out another unit and without any kids this time.
This was our first time in the area so we really had no idea where best locations may be. I went based on the pictures and information provided. I made the mistake of stating out loud - I don't care if it's rains the whole time we are here because look at that view. Well - it mostly rained and we never saw the sun. We had the most perfect time laying low during a long driving trip and just enjoying the space, views and location. Had the weather been better we would have been out on that water. Kayaks and paddle boat provided would have been fun. had we not had heavy clouds that upstairs viewing area on top of the rental would have been perfect for staring at the stars. The hosts are amazing! Immediate response before and during our stay and extremely helpful to anything you may need. The space is reflective of the photos and descriptions provided. I can't imagine you would need anything, but if you did my guess is that Jon would take care of it. I wish all rental properties were this perfect to what is advertised. If we ever get out that way again I would definitely want to stay here.
Great people and a great place. The hosts pay attention to every detail. It is a unique space with incredible views. It is in a beautiful location on Lake Champlain with access to the water kyaks, paddle boat, and our unit had an amazing rooftop
Quiet corner of the lake. Loved the views from the sun room. Highly recommend!
