Paddleboat or kayaks- all available on-site to navigate the crystal clear water.

My two boys and I take a trip to a different part of the Adirondacks each summer. We really enjoyed this location and how close we were to so many fun things to do. We enjoyed our time just hanging out at the property too. Both boys fished for hours and loved swimming in the pond. Very clean and peaceful property inside and out.

This was the perfect setting for relaxing, quiet and stay provided everything that was needed. The inside and outside accommodations met all our needs and more. We had so much fun on the paddleboat which was in the cleanest and warm waters with plenty of fishing for my husband and grandson. The house had all needed items to cook and grill outside and picnic area. Highly recommend and the Host Diane is very attentive and answers all questions. Had the best time.

Wonderful week in an idyllic home

We were a party of 6 adults who stayed a week in order to make day trips to Lake George, Ticonderoga, Albany, Saratoga Springs and western Vermont. We found the home to be very comfortable and, in all ways, as depicted in the listing (or better). It was perfectly situated for the types of trips I mentioned and for days you want to stay on property, too. We hope to return!
