Beachfront/Lakefront/ Mountain-view Chalet

The Malfettone lakehouse is a perfect family getaway. The owners are excellent to work with; really great communicators. This was our 5th year staying here. The private beach is great. They add a new upgrade or amenity pretty much every year and take great care of the property. We always look forward to our next stay as soon as we leave.

Very nice weekend lake home. Great view and excellent waterfront. My kids were down at the beach the entire 4 days of our stay. Owners provide beach umbrellas, sand toys, and a cart to haul it all in - plus plenty of Adirondack chairs for seating at the waterfront. I used the owner provided kayak one morning for a few hours to fish up the shoreline north of the house - caught 16 smallmouth, 4 of them lunkers. We had s’mores in the firepit at night and sat around enjoying the cool breezy evenings. Great stay overall.

Everything exceeded expectations!

This was our 3rd year renting the Malfetone's Lake House at Sacandaga Lake. We were able to rent it for a couple days more this year than we had last year and it was well worth it. Communication with the owners is always prompt, helpful, and friendly. The house/property is always well maintained and clean. It has become a very special place for our family.

It was a pleasure dealing with Brian. The house info was clear and included everything needed for a comfortable stay. He responded quickly when questions were asked and was very accommodating. The home is lovely and furnished with a clear adirondack flair. The 2 private bedrooms off the main living room and and an open plan primary bedroom, office and and kids sleeping on the 2nd floor easily accommodated our family with room to spare. The wide beach and more beach equipment than we could use (kayaks, paddle boards, floating water pad, games, beach wagons) it was a perfect ascape forour family members young and old. Water shoes are recommended for the pebbly beach and shoreline. We also recommend the farm store in Northville for its freshly made cider donuts and delicious pies the 2nd floor. area in the 2nd floor

Beautiful property. We loved everything about the house and the surrounding area. The owners gave us great suggestions on activities. We kayaked, paddle boarded, hiked and even saw a rodeo. We will definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

Every year there is some improvement to the property, previously they updated the fireplace, then added window ACs to top floor, this year there's new landscaping. It's a great place to get family together and we always have a great time. The owners are wonderful to work with; they're very quick to reply. We hope to stay longer next year.

This was the perfect getaway to introduce our west coast family to the adirondacks! There was plenty of room for our families and grandparents. We couldn’t get enough of the beach and scenic views. Everything we needed was right there for us. Most of our stay was very quiet and peaceful with some liveliness from neighbors on the weekend. The town of Northville is very cute and we loved walking around! Highly recommend booking a stay here!

Brian and Joann are great hosts; very responsive and clear communication before and during our visit. They have made some improvements since last year; the renovated fireplace, full 12-cup coffee maker, and AC on top floor. I think the house was even cleaner this year than last year! They clearly care about the property and as long as all guests are respectful of that this will remain a delightful place to visit. Our children really enjoyed finding hidden treasure on the way to the beach too; that was a great surprise. We are already looking forward to visiting again next year!

What a PERFECT family get away! The house offered everything we needed for our family vacation. It was clean and equipped with everything we needed especially for fun out on the lake. The property is just a short bike ride from town and the beach and beautiful view of the lake was the perfect back drop for a week of fun in the sun. The kids enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat and paddle board every day. While the lake side gets the setting sun we enjoyed the shade on the back porch for grilling out nightly. Brian, the owner, was fantastic about communicating with us as well. I can’t recommend renting this property more. We will most definitely be looking to repeat our wonderful experience next year. We have rented various houses around Lake Sacandaga every summer for the last ten years and this by far was the best property yet. Thank you!
