We had a great week at Compass Loj. We loved the location, the views, and the home. The home was perfect for our family of four. Our toddler loved the beach and the lake was shallow/Sandy for her to enjoy the water all day. The property was in mint condition. We loved how cozy the house was and really enjoyed using our DVDs to hang out at night after a long day of exploring the area and being outside. The hosts were fantastic—great communication, very friendly, and greeted us at check in with fresh scones! The best spot in the house is the three season room. We spent so much time there. The house has all you need for a weeks stay and only a short drive from town for groceries. We can’t wait to go back to make more memories!
Everything was perfect! The owners had freshly made scones waiting for us, along with some food in the refrigerator to tide us over until we made the trip to Charlie John’s. They are lovely people! The house, yard and beach were immaculately maintained. They clearly keep their renter’s needs in mind, which is seen in the details they provide. The house is so cozy and comfortable, and having our own beach from which to set off in our kayaks was a major plus. I’m already missing the back room which looks out over the lake! Every aspect of this stay was delightful, and we look forward to returning!
The pictures don't do this cabin justice! Our toddler loved the trundle bed and the private beach and shallow waterfront access was exactly what we were looking for. The owners met us there and showed us everything we needed to know, even providing some breakfast items including some amazing scones! Definitely somewhere we would return. Thank you!
The property was perfect for our family of four. The beach, yard house all well taken care of! Would stay here again!
The view was incredible! The house was clean and roomy. The owners were incredible. They had us stocked with basics and a baked treat! The provide many of the basic needs -toilet paper napkins, paper towels so packing for a family of 4 while pregnant was much easier. We enjoyed our week very much and look forward to visiting and booking this house again.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Compass Loj on Lake Pleasant. It had been years since we had been to Lake Pleasant and it was just as beautiful as ever. The cottage was spotless and our hosts were very gracious. A true Adirondack cottage with a few wonderful additions over the years... 2 extra porches with gorgeous views, a beautiful deck... and my favorite was a she-shed right down by the beach. So many spots to enjoy the view, read a book or work on the jigsaw puzzle. LOL We had some rain so managed to do 4 puzzles during our week! 5 stars!! Almost forgot to mention!! The bed was VERY comfortable!!
Property was clean with a nice lake view in a quiet area. Had a nice beach area with fire pit. Was convenient to local attractions. Well appointed kitchen.
Our kids (aged 8 and 11) are obsessed with the water—they'd swim and dive all day if they could—and we sought out a rental specifically for that purpose. We wanted to find a comfortable house with easy access to a lake that was nice to swim in, and the Loj fit the bill perfectly! Our family spent a very restful week there, which is another way of saying the four of us were all feeling pretty lazy by the end of the summer, and we did very little other than swim, check out local eateries, and play board games. You might view our laziness + willingness to just stay put at the Loj as a testament to its many charms. The view from the cabin toward the lake really is lovely. I'd never been to the Adirondacks before and wasn't sure if the lack of A/C in the cabin would be a problem—it wasn't, you don't need it. The weather cooperated for us; during the day it was warm enough to get in the water and enjoy it, and at night cool enough to keep the cabin comfortable all day as long as we opened windows at the right time. We only had one really rainy day, so every other day we had both morning and afternoon swim time. The big screened-in porch facing the lake was our favorite spot. My husband drank coffee there every morning, watching the fog clear and the mountains come out. I read and wrote there all week, and the kids played games and did art projects at the table when they weren't in the lake. (It's a really nice lake for swimming, especially for younger kids/beginning swimmers due to how shallow it is, but thanks to the hosts for recommending water shoes; the bottom of the lake was a little muddy.) Marjie and Jim are wonderful and responsive hosts who really go the extra mile to answer any questions and help you feel at home. They were also kind enough to stock the fridge with a few basics before we arrived—we greatly enjoyed the fresh-baked scones, eggs and bacon our first morning! When I couldn't find a teakettle, Marjie brought one over from where she and Jim were staying (they also own the neighboring property; they aren't there all the time, though). And though we did our best to pack up and clear out, we did manage to leave a few items behind (including my daughter's tooth, which she lost while we were there!), and Marjie found and kindly mailed them all to us. This was really the perfect vacation for us. We wanted to find a place where we could find a lot of activities if we wanted them, but pretty and peaceful enough where we could also choose
Marjie and Jim were a pleasure to work with. They were there when we arrived to answer all our questions and even had some yummy baked goods ready prepared for us. The house is as shown in the pictures. Our boys loved playing on the beach front. The house was a quick drive to the village of Speculator where we visited some cute gift shops, ate some good meals and explored the nature trails. All and all a great week. Thank you!
We loved the house, view, furniture, sun porch and yard for playing badminton. The only downside was that we felt the lake bottom was a bit mucky and the gradual depth made for difficulty swimming. Would be better for younger children. Otherwise, a wonderful property and quiet, peaceful setting.
