Such a wonderful place right on the lake. Literally! We enjoyed hanging out Lakeside having a fire in the fire pit and enjoying hearty meals inside the spacious house. Everything was wonderful! Plenty of space for a large family. We had six ladies having a girls time away! It’s definitely an area to explore nature as there’s not much around in terms of shopping or restaurants or anything like that. The Riverwalk was enjoyable, up on Rt 30 and we caught some waterfalls on Route 8 and also on Rt 30!. I highly recommend it for the nature lover, the fisher person, and just to hang out and have fun with some of your peeps !
Spacious, clean house. Well appointed kitchen. Easy to use grill. Great lake access. Quiet little town. Classic ADK spot.
We had a lovely stay at this sweet spot in the ADK. The property is even better than the pics. It was clean, cozy, well stocked with all we needed for cooking, and we really appreciated it having all we needed to build a campfire too. Communication was very clear with notes around for reminders. It was just what this group of friends was hoping for! Thank you!
11 of us stayed here again this summer- 4 generations actually! The location was convenient for us, the home had plenty of space and the access to the lake was perfect! Before we even left all of us were talking about returning next summer. Nothing but good things to say about this home and the owner.
The house is immaculate. Had everything we needed for cooking. Beautiful views of the lake. Only wish was that there could have been easier access for kayaks and a ladder on dock for swimming.
Our stay was amazing, we were able to unwind and enjoy the the lake. As soon as we arrived my son who is 13 ran to the lake with his fishing pole and our 3 teenage girls jumped right in. Over our stay everyone fished, kayaked/canoed and swam. Fishing the lake gave us a variety of fish. At night we enjoyed marshmallows by the fire, played board games and a puzzle. The house was perfect for us, plenty of room. It was clean and well taken care of. The internet was not working when we first arrived but the Diane promptly responded to us regarding this. We came to disconnect. We give this place a 10/10. We hope to be back next year!
The house is lovely and has room for a large group. We are four adults and appreciated having room to spread out. The kitchen has all of the amenities we needed and then some. We enjoyed family meals at the beautifully crafted dining table, canoeing on Lake Algonquin, a small bonfire near the lake, and the views from the decks.
House on the lake with mountain views did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated with ADK touches. Bar with double refrigerators was a great hangout spot. Eagle, loons, fish present each day. Great kayak & canoe trip up the Sacandaga River. House offered anything you needed, just bring provisions. Upstairs bedrooms get a bit toasty, bring fans. The plastic campfire chairs not strong, so be careful.
House was wonderful, had a blast with that amazing bar. Will definitely book again!
This home on the lake is just that, a home. The interior is decorated beautifully with amazing woodwork throughout giving it a cozy cottage feel. The view of the lake is breathtaking. I wish the weather was warmer so we could enjoy the water. We stayed here for a family wedding and this place was voted the best after everyone visited all of the other rental places. You can’t go wrong staying here.
Perfect location for our family weekend! Plenty of space for 11 adults, right on the water so canoeing, kayaking, fishing and evening chats around the campfire were all on the agenda. This home had everything we needed…. Even a pull out chair that made my brother-in-law who had shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago super comfortable. There isn’t anything we could suggest to improve our stay. We are looking forward to hopefully staying here again!
It was a wonderful property to stay at. Clean and nicely maintained. Diane was easy to contact and responded quickly. The home was beautiful and spacious. My family had a great time. The home was exactly as listed and went above my expectations! Thank you Diane for sharing your home with us!
My family enjoyed our stay a lot. The house was very nice and the view of the lake was wonderful. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and hiking. There isn't a sandy beach but it was easy getting into the lake from the dock. My daughter did have some trouble getting the kayak into the water around the poles on the dock. The neighbor has a few dogs that do bark sometimes very early. These are small things and didn't effect our wonderful trip.
This is the perfect property if you are looking to unwind and get away. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very comfortable and much larger than it looks from the outside. The pond is so close that when you’re inside it feels as though you are floating. The sun room was my favorite. I read books and napped in that room. We can’t wait for next year.
The home was fantastic. They have renovated it with great attention to detail and sturdy craftsmanship. We had a group of 10 people ages 5-48 and it was perfect. There was enough space for us to both gather together and find solitude. The kitchen had everything we needed to make everything we planned to cook. Very comfortable and we had a very relaxing trip filled with fishing, kayaking, canoeing, campfires, s'mores, swimming, hiking, games and margaritas.
Had a fishing trip with a group of 10 friends and family. The cabin was great, very clean and big enough for everyone. Fishing was good on the lake and the surrounding river. Had a small miscue with the owner but we worked it out fairly. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!
This property is in excellent condition and has a beautiful lake view. Everything good!
The place is all pretty new, great set up, plenty of sleeping space. Beautiful view, nice enclosed porch with a bar and a bed that pulls down off of wall. 2 full baths is nice when you have 11 people. We had a little misunderstanding with the listing and I called them, they responded right away and even though it was our fault, they helped us out. Which was much appreciated. Great place with a great set up. I would highly recommend them.
My family (two adults and two 8-year olds) had a fantastic time at this beautiful property. It was very clean, had a great set-up with many places to congregate (even with bigger group than 4) and amazing views of the lake. While we had great weather it’s a place where staying inside is just as pleasant. Kitchen, TV, fire wood, kayaks, all was in great working order and well explained by the host in her instructions. Definitely a place we’ll come back to!
