About this property

Our lake house is on Glass Lake in Averill Park, NY. In case you want to venture off, it is close to Saratoga (perfect for race season!), the Berkshires MA, Albany NY, and Vermont. You’ll love our place because of its location right on Glass Lake. Incredibly private with spacious property. Our lake house is great for families with kids and couples, and handicap accessible. It is great for any season (leaves, skiing, fishing, swimming). Kayaks, canoe, row boat.....and the lake!!

Our house is fabulous. A great spot for a family vacation. Kids love it here. So much to do and explore. Our house was built in 1965 and was a bit ahead of its time in design. It is definitely a year round home. You can use it for a hub for leaf viewing in the fall, skiing in the winter and of course "laking" in the spring and summer. A little piece of paradise. The house is in great shape too! Enjoy the upstairs fireplace, but make sure that the chimney flue is OPEN.

Our house is 10 minutes from local cross country skiing, only 25 minutes from Jiminy Peak in MA and less than an hour from Bennington, VT. Great location for access to other points of interest.

You will have the whole house for your visit. We do grant our neighbors lake access as well, but you won't see them much. They might come down from their own houses to jump in their boats and head out on the lake.

Home Away From Home

This was our third year staying at the house and we have already reserved for 2024! It was unanimous! I believe that says how much we love staying here! Zach and Julie are wonderful hosts and are immediately responsive to any questions or needs. We could not ask for a better home for our family holiday. Thank you for another great stay.

Family Gathering

The owner was quick to communicate and easy to work with. The house was quirky, but met our needs well. The kitchen was modern and well stocked. Only downside to the house was that the only bathroom on the main level is in the master, so if that person is sleeping, everyone has to use the downstairs bathroom. Obviously not something that can be fixed, but could be difficult for those with issues with stairs.

Beautiful location, comfortable stay

The view is gorgeous and the house is comfortable for hanging out in all day in cold weather. The kitchen was huge and it occommodated our thanksgiving dinner cooking.

It was fantastic plenty of room beautiful location for photos I couldn’t ask for a better location! Zach was very accommodating! I highly recommend this location for a quiet get away for a group or family gathering! Lake views are incredible!
