About the House
You will be surrounded by Adirondack décor. The home is newly renovated throughout, and you are just steps from the lake. We supply you with everything you need to in the new kitchen from pots and pans, microwave, coffee pot, hot water pot, utensils, measuring cups, etc. We even supply you with a large array of spices. We just installed a new gas fireplace/stove to help take the chill off. The temperature is controlled with a thermostat and all of the rooms also have baseboard heat, each with their own thermometer.
We provide 2 new kayaks, a row boat and a paddle board for your use. Of course, we also supply new life vests.
What to Do?
As of 12/31/2024 the ice on the lake was 4" deep. Since then the temperature has been in the teens and single digits. I would think the ice depth is 6" or more. If you do go out on the ice, please drill a hole to ensure the thickness of the ice. Similarly, a lot of folks go cross country skiing on the lake. Please exercise caution when going out on the ice, especially if the temperature during the day has been significantly above freezing. As of 1/6/2025, the lake is seeing a high in the low teens and a low below zero. That weather should be around for the foreseeable future. Bring a jacket!
Depending on the time of year and the weather, it is fun to begin the day with either a hike to any one of the local mountains or, simply walk out to the dock which is only a few steps from the back door and hop in the boat and go fishing or go for a swim. Too much exercise? Make a cup of coffee and fish off the dock for Northern Pike, Largemouth, Smallmouth Bass and Perch. If you are a fisherman/fisherwoman, just ping me if you are going to rent and I'll share the spots where I've had luck and what I used. You can use either a row boat we have, the paddle board or our kayaks (2). If you want to stay in, we have tons of board games for your use. If you want to bring your own trolling motor or fish finder for the row boat, please feel free to do so. Otherwise, you can get in a little exercise rowing around the lake to find a fish or two. Please note, renters are not allowed to bring their own boats. Just want to relax? You can light a fire in the firepit on the deck, go birding, watch any of the hundreds of channels we have on the TV or just surf using our new fiber WIFI.
Note, we are just a 30 second walk to a sandy beach which is ideal for swimming or just relaxing.
Not Into Fishing?
Hiking is huge around the house. You can set off on foot or drive to a nearby mountain and enjoy the view. The Milky Way is brilliant at night. I would encourage you to download an app for your cellphone so you can point it at the sky to identify all the constellations you are seeing. To digress a bit, we mentioned that we are on a secluded cove. From our house which sits on a sizeable cove, you can see no other homes. No worries about loud neighbors or other renters. The only noise you might hear would be a Woodpecker or the Loons. Oh, do be on the lookout for American Bald Eagles. They circle the cove at random and are magnificent to see. If you need a break from nature, we have WiFi and a smart TV. We generally have enough bandwidth to accommodate a few kids playing online games, streaming TV and a Zoom call all at the same time. Also, please feel free to use the WiFi to make calls on your cell phone.
You've Enjoyed Nature, Now What?
Saranac Lake has some wonderful restaurants and establishments that serve adult beverages. Lake Placid is a quick drive away with lots of shops, restaurants and brew pubs. Even closer to the cottage, please visit https://www.hexandhop.com/ which is about a 15 minute drive away. Great food and great craft brews. As well, there is a new brew pub and restaurant in Saranac Lake.
We spent years visiting the Adirondacks and made note of all the things we liked and disliked. We have tried to capture the Adirondack experience while also supplying our guests with modern amenities.
