Our family had a blast staying here! Two adults and three kids. Plenty of space for sleeping, bathrooms were great. The kids took over the loft. We didnt even need to use two rooms. The screened in porch was so nice to sit on, rock away and listen to the rain. Dock is a little tricky to get to, but we managed a little easier since we had a ton of family staying in other houses. The fire pit area was perfect! Recommend bringing citronella candles/torches for outside to help with the bugs. Also, not a lot of seating to eat (table seats four) but with the chairs on the porch and the living area there are plenty of options around the house to sit. There were plenty of towels and linens, kitchen well stocked with kitchen essentials. Overall, a great stay and we look forward to coming back for the next family reunion!

An excellent place and experience

We had two small families together for a group trip to the lake and this property was perfect for our needs. 7 in total with plenty of space to enjoy and the beach site - dock and kayaks was an incredible way to spend the day. The house had everything we needed and the host was very responsive.

Weekend with the boys

Clean, comfortable and a great location. Really enjoyed the lake access. The large screen porch was a perfect spot to hangout when a rain shower passed through and there was plenty of firewood to enjoy a nice evening around the campfire. Great Spot! 👍

2024 Star Lake Summer Vacation

We had a great time! Cottage had just about everything we needed. Would definitely bring a 4-wheeler to get down to the floating dock next time though. The floating dock and the sand bar was the most fun!!

Great stay

This house had everything we needed. We have been coming up to star lake for 10 years. Our aunt lives right on the lake and we usually rent a cabin around the lake. This year this house was available and we jumped at it because it was across the street from our aunts cabin. It was clean and had everything that we needed. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great place for some quiet relaxation

Stayed here for the 2024 solar eclipse and had a great time. Wanted somewhere pretty well removed from any busy areas and this fit the bill perfectly. Location was nice and quiet, the house was very nice, thought the themed rooms were a great touch. Didn't want for much during our stay, but the first time I had a questions the host responded withing seconds. Would absolutely recommend.

Family Fun Week

This property was just as described. There were no surprises. We loved the waterfront access just down the road and took the motorized raft out many times. Fishing was very good and the lake is excellent for paddling kayaks. Hanging out at the sand bar was a lot of fun.

Great place!

Perfect for our weekend at Star Lake. Chris was very responsive with any questions. The lake access was right down the road and the dock was awesome. We took it out fishing, and to the sandbar. The house was fully stocked and very clean. Screened in porch is awesome for early morning coffee and late night relaxing. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal (can’t control Mother Nature!), it was still a nice getaway!

Perfect place

We were in Star Lake to visit family at the hospital. This gave us all the room we needed to accommodate all of us. The screened porch was awesome and the fire pit area was wonderful! Appreciated all of the “extras” included; firewood, paper goods, soaps, etc. The only thing we didn’t care for was there was no clear instructions for where to locate the lakeside property. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we are in the area a couple times each year and would definitely stay here again

Nephew Wedding

Great Adirondak camp to stay at. Wrap around deck so nice. Camp provides just about everything you need. Fire pit very nice. Motorized raft was great and the electric start makes it easy to start. Owner was very quick responding to questions. Care taker, Dean, caught up with us on the lake to refill raft gas tank. That was very nice. Fun relaxing weekend. Thanks

Winter Time Family Visit

We traveled to Star Lake to a family reunion celebrating a 90th birthday. The house was a good size, good plan. The heat only worked on the first floor, which eventually found it’s why to the second floor; temps outside in the 20’s and 30’s. Bathrooms were not heated. The sofa in the living room was very uncomfortable, needs replacement. This could be a very interesting place to stay in the summer, however.

Awesome winter retreat and snowmobiling headquarters!

Love this house! We have family and friends who live in Star Lake and have been coming up for years during the summer and fall. This year we decided to come visit during the winter and go snowmobiling. (The trails were awesome!) The house is super comfortable with excellent heating. The kitchen was the most well equipped kitchen I've ever experienced compared to other VRBO rentals. Huge TV and excellent high speed internet did not disappoint. The property manager, Dean stopped in to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. The highlight of our trip was the bbq we had with the locals. Such a great community! We are hoping to come back this summer with the rest of our family to hang out on the raft on the lake. Highly recommend!

Very Comfortable for 2 mature couples

Very comfortable beds (good quality memory foam) and cute decor. Appears to be dog friendly although we didn't have any. Adorable upstairs bathroom serves the three upstairs bedrooms plus the loft that would sleep umpteen people. One couple used that bathroom and the other used the bathroom with shower downstairs (except for quick nightime trips). Rooms were small and only hanging space was hooks on walls. Most drawers had extra linens but beds were high enough to store suitcases under. Since there were only two couples, we used bedroom 3 as a dressing room. Huge TV. Not on cable but Amazon was logged in and if you played around with the streaming you could find shows and news. Wifi very easy to use. Prop manager was down the street and happy to come over to help oldsters with streaming tv but we figured it out. You can see a small slice of the lake from the lovely screened in porch. We didn't use the firepit but it looked inviting. Large Washer and Dryer plus fridge. Easy entry with code. Very responsive owner. Nice place.
