Wells, New York
Welcome to our newly renovated riverfront home. Come and enjoy the beauty of the Adirondack mountains and the serenity of the Sacandaga River right outside your door. This is the perfect place to come and unwind, spend some relaxing time with the family or explore the great outdoors.
This is a beautiful four season home right off of a local town road. The home sleeps 4 adults and 2 children comfortably with two queen size beds and a twin over full bunk bed. Our home features a 1st floor master bedroom with queen size bed with an amazing panoramic view of the river. There is a second bedroom on the first floor with bunk beds (Twin over Full). The upper level consists of an additional bedroom with a queen size bed and loft area to relax and read your favorite novel.
The living room contains a large flat screen tv, Wifi, DVD player, Netflix and HBO for our guests enjoyment. Don't be surprised if you catch yourself snoozing on the recliner while enjoying a fire from the propane gas stove.
The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, dishware, cookware, and has all the amenities of home.
The enclosed sun drenched porch has a full size dining room table to enjoy a wonderful meal with your family or play your favorite board games. Two leather chairs and a view of the river will greet you after a day of exploring the beauty of the outdoors. This is one of our favorite areas in our home to relax and unwind.
Enjoy sitting outside under the stars and build yourself a campfire in our firepit to keep toasty warm. Roast some marshmallows and share some quality time with your friends and family.
Lake Algonquin and Wells Town Beach are a very short distance away and easily accessible. Griffin Gorge, Auger Falls and numerous hiking trails are all a short drive away. If you're feeling more adventurous head up past Indian Lake and experience breath taking scenery and world-class whitewater rafting on the Hudson River Gorge. We're also not far from Gore and Oak Mountain for summer activities and world class skiing in the winter.
Wells is a small community but it is full of charm. There is a small cafe in town with great breakfast and lunch. Two local general stores for the basic essentials and plenty of places to get ice cream in the summer. We are also within a 20 minute drive to Northville and Speculator. Both of these towns have restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops for your convenience. Looking for a day trip we are an hour away from Lake George and two hours to Lake Placid.
This is a non-smoking home and pets are not allowed. Sorry there are no exceptions here given our young son has severe asthma and pet allergies.
Due to the current situation, we are following CDC guidelines for cleaning between guests. We use disinfectant wipes and cleaners as well as Lysol Sanitizer for the laundry for our guests safety. We are spacing out our reservations to allow 24 hours between guests.
The house is very nice and larger than look from outside. beautifully located with wonderful view on the stream/river from the master bedroom. Clean house, comfortable. We used twice already in winter season (ski in Gore), but must be also very attractive in summer. Wells is very nice town.
Once again a very pleasant stay in this quiet, clean house. This is our third stay here, this time we made Thanksgiving dinner - and it went well!
Our stay was everything we had hoped for. House was perfect! The weather even cooperated! Thank you!!
A wonderful cabin where calm and peacefulness wash over you like the river it sits on. So enjoyed this stay with my sister.
This is my second time staying at this beautiful home. It’s so comfortable and cozy, and I enjoyed every minute of my stay. The kitchen is well set up for cooking, and the views of the river, particularly in October are simply gorgeous. Communication with Evelyn and Jim… A+! I hope to be back again next year.
Just what we needed; very clean, well-equipped, great location, beautiful spot overlooking the river. Evelyn couldn't have been nicer, communicative and ultra-responsive to every silly question we had. Will plan another trip here.
It was amazing, relaxing and lovely weekend with my husband. Beautiful house, fantastic property, nice weather-made us so happy and recharge our energy. Thank you ? for this wonderful opportunity to rest and enjoy life.
Our second time staying here and we absolutely love the house and the location. Everything is clean and comfortable. We loved just sitting in the chairs and watching the river. Kayaking was just minutes away and it’s only about an hour to Lake George to bicycle. Fantastic meals at the local restaurants! I’m hoping we can stay here again.
This is our second time at this property, and we love it. The setting is so quiet and peaceful. The house is super clean and comfortable, and the hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive. Great river views. We will definitely return!
The space was absolutely perfect for our family. The firepit, quiet space on the porch w the great view, the picture window in the downstairs bedroom were all highlights of the stay. Everything was clean and set w anything w needed. Having the creek to listen to at night was so calming. The location was spot on too. Only about 20 mins to either Speculator or Northville.
Views of, and access to, water and wildlife were perfect. Beautiful setting.
This is a beautiful cabin. Great access to southern area of the park...a bit of a drive to get up to the most popular parts. Nonetheless, we highly recommend this property for a get-away.
We had great winter time and skiing time. House is beautfully preapred and equipped. Right after snow storm driveway was quickly plowed nice and clean. We definetly would like to return.
Had a wonderful time. Quaint and comfortable place to stay. Communication with Evelyn always quick and responsive. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed the location, overlooking the river. The house was very clean and charming. I especially appreciated the kitchen set up for cooking home meals due to allergies. Beds were comfy and the sunroom was a favorite place to catch the sun and watch the river on cool mornings. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit too. Overall, a lovely place to hang with friends.
Just what me and my family needed. Wonderful week!!
Wonderful vacation! Beautiful, quiet setting with views and access to the river in the backyard for romping and cooling off. Kayak launch a few minutes away -- we paddled to Lake Algonquin and relaxed on the town beach one hot day. Hiking opportunities in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest area just minutes away. Auger Falls and Kibby Pond trails very near. Hiked on a short section of the Northville-Placid trail in Benson, NY, a short drive away. Great Sacandaga Lake about 25 minutes away with another lovely public beach and paddling on the lake. Favorite hike to Pine Orchard, with 200-year old white pines. Stunning forest. The house was very clean and cozy. The central AC was much appreciated, as there was a heat wave for part of our visit. Nice to come 'home' to a cool house. We spent most of our time on the enclosed front porch, playing games, doing puzzles, and dining at the large table, while watching for wildlife in the river. The same deer crossed at dawn and dusk daily-- a real treat! The homeowners were friendly and responsive, with prompt answers to questions both before and during the visit. I HIGHLY recommend this property for a visit to this area of the Adirondack Park. I would rent this property again without hesitation. Thank you, Evelyn, for sharing your home with my family.
What a relaxing couple of days we had here - only wish it could have been a longer stay! Home owners are a pleasure to communicate with and we would absolutely stay again. The only thing I’d like to mention (so others are prepared), when we visited, the home was not stocked with coffee or teabags. Due to the remote location and few grocery store options, be sure to bring some with you. Oh, and! We were lucky enough to see a coyote cross the river and then only 30 minutes later a deer take that same route. Nature abound!
Do not worry if you are thinking about staying here! It was absolutely immaculate! The pride the owners have of their home just shines through! It was the perfect size for our family of three. We took a hike on one of the near by trails and did some paddle boarding. Very relaxing! Far enough away from the crowds but a short ride away from grocery shopping and restaurants. We are very, very pleased that we stayed and we thank you for sharing your home with us!
Beautiful property with stunning views. Very clean, and perfectly organized.
We were delighted by the cleanliness and setting of this property. Evelyn, the owner, was quick to respond to any questions and all her instructions and information about the house were clearly stated and accurate.
