We had a lovely stay at this property. Excellent location, super friendly hosts, well appointed house. Great way to spend some quality time with the family. My 11 & 13 yr old children loved the kayaks! Lots of great options for entertainment - games/puzzles/corn hole. We'll definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Adirondacks getaway

Our family of 4 pup had a fantastic stay at Deb and Mark’s house - being directly on the lake is perfect for little kids, the location is very convenient to the town (walking distance to store, beach, coffee shop), the house has everything we needed for a longer stay, and our dog had plenty of room to run and swim. We particularly appreciated the screened in porch and the kayaks! Deb and Mark were wonderful hosts and very responsive to every question and need. We are already planning our return!

From the moment we walked in the place felt warm and welcoming. The little attention to detail was commendable. The decorations were obviously changed for the seasons and not static year round. The house was extremely clean and everything was easy to use. The dog area outside was perfect for our pup. And, the view was beautiful. The lake was frozen with a fresh coating of powdery snow on top. Check-in/out was simple and communication with Debbie was quick and responsive. Also, being there in the winter, Mark came by twice to be sure the driveways were plowed and snow was removed from the stoop. You can tell that they are indeed “dog people” as there were little adornments alluding to as much (plus they had food and water bowls in the cupboard - luckily, because we forgot ours).We liked our stay so much that we booked again for a summer trip - see what the warm weather is like. The cold weather was great, and beautiful. But, something tells us that the sun on the water will be amazing! Definitely worth the stay!
