Crystal Clear Lake Water with Spectacular Sandy Beach and Million Dollar Sunsets

A truly delightful stay! Can’t say enough good things about the house, the setting, the owners and the location. We rented the home for one week to hold a special family gathering with our 2 daughters and sons-in-law. From the start, the owners, Peter and Kathryn, offered us early check-in, as soon as the property was made ready once the previous occupants vacated. And, on departure allowed us a later check out so that one of our sons-in-law could attend to an unexpected work-related emergency. During our stay, we reached out to Peter on a couple of needs and he was immediately responsive, kind and understanding.On arrival, the home and surrounding grounds were immaculately clean and ready for us. The home equipment from bedding to cutlery, to pots, pans, dishware, etc. were all high quality and abundant; we lacked for nothing on that count. The interior and exterior spaces of the house were ample and the furniture comfortable and in excellent condition. All six of us had all we could ask for to rest, relax and enjoy each other’s company. The exterior amenities, especially the jacuzzi and fire pit enabled great times together, enjoying the gorgeous views and beautiful, surrounding natural landscapes. And, of course, the lake right in front of us was a main draw. Starting with the expansive view of it from anywhere in the back of the home, the lovely hills on the other shore and the sunsets, we all agreed this was a major asset to add further to our enjoyment!

My family of twelve (ages ranging from 10-78) spent a wonderful week at this house. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked making packing lighter while the attention to cleanliness and decor made it cozy. There was plenty of seating areas indoors and out. The variety of water vessels and outdoor games available was great and the trampoline was the biggest hit with the kids. Check in was easy and the location was convenient for a lovely ferry ride to Vermont or a day of adventure at Ausable Chasm.

Our recent stay at this property was very memorable, primarily due to its stunning views of the lake. Waking up to such a beautiful panorama each morning was a highlight and the backyard provided hours of fun whether sitting on the deck, enjoying the expansive grassy area or using the watercraft that was available for our use. The host was very easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful in providing a thorough and detailed list of local restaurants, sights and activities to enjoy during our stay.However, there were a couple of aspects that impacted our experience. We were not told ahead of time that the home is on a septic system and guests are requested to flush only when absolutely necessary. This was a constant consideration throughout our stay.Additionally, It felt like there was a significant amount of work expected from us upon departure, especially given that a cleaning fee was charged. Here are some of the items that we have never before been expected to do when renting a VRBO::Sweep or vacuum the floors, wash if there were any spillsWash and fold all towels usedStrip beds and put on a new set of bed sheetsThere are two cutlery drawers, put the right cutlery in the right drawerClean any crumbs from pantry, cupboards & drawersOverall, it is a beautiful location and wonderful amenities, but future guests should be aware of the septic system's limitations and the detailed departure cleaning requirements.

Beautiful property great place for families.

The lake house and setting are beautiful!! The house it well appointed, clean and very tidy…has everything you would need and then some! Peter is quick to communicate and very pleasant!!! Our family ages ranged from 9 months to 63 yo…all had a wonderful time, the sandy beach is a huge plus!!! Thank you for the stay in your beautiful lake house, we did not want to leave!!!!

Great place for friends and family to gather.

This was an amazing spot for our extended family of 11, ranging in age from 10 to 80. The house, and exterior decks/patios, was spacious enough so that you could find a place to yourself whenever you wanted. The home is beautiful and the loft area and open kitchen/living/dining was lovely. But without a doubt the lakefront areas were the highlight of the property. The expansive yard and large dock allowed for plenty of space for outdoor activities. Finally, we loved walking the short distance to Indian Bay Marina where the kids got ice cream almost every day, and we had dinner and drinks two nights during our stay. Would highly recommend this property.

Great property for a family reunion. So many activities for all ages- If you are looking for a great family property you have found it.

Our whole family loved this house and location. The view from the lake side was absolutely breathtaking. We were fortunate enough to have great weather and enjoyed the train and sea planes from the house pass by. The yard was perfect for yard games such as bocce ball and corn hole etc. the beach is perfect for kids and adults to enjoy the sand and lake. All the kids loved the trampoline and access to the non motorized boats. The deck and patio were perfect for our group and fit everyone comfortably. Rain or shine you always have one to choose from. The inside of the house was beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed for our group. There are a number of activities to do in the area and good restaurants. We hope to go back and enjoy the house and location again. Our family has been renting homes in the Adirondack area close to 10 years now and The owner is one of the best host to deal with. The owner is a very good communicator and generous host. We recommend this property to a happy family who enjoys the outdoors.

We had a great week. The lake is lovely. It was wonderful to go kayaking every day with the boats provided. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and game table. The house had plenty of room and beautiful views of the lake. The owner was very responsive to us.
