About this property

Nestled between the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and the Thousand Islands lives this spacious, one-of-a-kind Lakefront Cabin.

Cozy up with your favorite book on the wraparound desk, take out your canoe or kayak right from the house, or enjoy ice-fishing steps away in the wintertime. This home is ready to be the backdrop to your favorite friend and family memories!

The Lakefront Escape features three classic cabin bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom, a spacious open-concept living and dining area, and a kitchen for guests' use.

The first two bedrooms have queen-sized beds along with a full and single in the third bedroom. An expansive loft-space also features a sprawling desk with a view for those working remotely.

We do have a strict NO pet policy.

Great home and lake, remote location

The property was great, but we struggled with finding quality produce in the area. Do you research before counting on a Whole Foods nearby!

Hidden gem

We loved this vacation home. It was a bit quirky, very roomy, comfortable and homey. The views off the decks and out the windows are breathtaking. Sylvia lake is small but lovely. The bottom is small rocks so water shoes are a must. That lake water is crystal clear…the dock is perfect for our boat. There were 2 kayaks, life jackets and oars. You must be able to walk down stairs if you want to get to the water….a lot of stairs! If you aren’t a stair person the deck area is so nice. The only ac is in the upper bedroom and we had little breeze but it cooled down nicely at night. Our family group had a wonderful time!

A lovely and comfortable lake property

We greatly enjoyed our week at Sylvia lake! The house is large, comfortable, and relaxing. The household supplies in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry were better than most rentals I have stayed in. We were able to cook a wide range of things because there were great pantry supplies and kitchen tools. There is a lovely view from 2 of the 3 decks and we enjoyed boating around the lake in the two kayaks that Alan provided. I highly recommend for 4-6 guests!

Excellent Getaway

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful lake. We went up with 2 other couples for New Years weekend and had a great time. The house is just as advertised and we had everything we needed. We cooked on the grill for New Year’s Eve, played games, ate, toasted the new year and completed a puzzle. All great fun with close friends. Had a great walk the next day. The weather was unseasonably warm but there was a beautiful blanket of snow the morning we left. Our host Alan was very responsive and there was no problem with check in and directions for our stay were all outlined in a folder. I bet the place is fantastic in the summer too.
