About this property

Lakewood Haven -a newly renovated Adirondack cottage.

An Adirondack getaway on a quiet lake in a sleepy town called Wells, NY. A recently renovated cottage fully equipped to meet all of your needs. A screened porch entrance leads into the great room overlooking Lake Algonquin. The great room contains a new fully equipped kitchen and unique Adirondack furnishings including a 42 inch flat screen TV and a DVD player. There is an electric fireplace for those cool evenings and a propane wall unit to keep you warm on those cold winter nights.
There is a private deck off of the great room and bedroom. The bedroom has a queen size bed and cots are also available for use in the great room along with a queen size sofa bed. The Screened porch & deck are perfect for cozy dinners or bird watching at breakfast. Enjoy a campfire and make smore's in your outdoor fire pit.
Located about 30 minutes away from Gore Mountain, and only 15 minutes from Oak Mountain, you can enjoy a day of skiing, snowboarding, and tubing and still return to your cozy lakefront cabin in the evening. Multiple trails are available for cross country skiing, and Lapland is just a short distance away.
With so much to see and do, you will no doubt want to return year after year.

What a beautiful area to visit.

I can’t saying enough about this place. From the wonderful owners to the beautiful house to the gorgeous lake it was amazing. Me and my day enjoyed every minute of it. Despite having not so great weather we took full advantage of the fishing ( caught tons of fish ) to the kayaking to the walks around the area to just sitting toin the house and relaxing it was all worth it. Tom and cookie were amazing . We would definitely come back again. Ty tom and cookie

Perfect little cottage

Great place. Right on the lake, modern interior, a deck and screened in porch, kind and friendly hosts. Our stay was short but i would go back. Cons: its smooshed really close to other houses, and the shower had a few hairs from the guests before us (but there was a very fast turn around so the cleaning was probably quicker)

Fantastic vacation!

We loved our recent trip to the Lakewood Haven. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. The lakefront, dock, yard were all so relaxing. The owners were extremely nice and we enjoyed meeting them. This was our baby's first lake vacation and the property was perfect for her. We look forward to returning.
