About this property

Charming Lakefront Family Home On Coveted, Quiet Green Lake

The perfect location for your family vacation, couple's getaway, group retreat or reunion. Our house is the best location on an extraordinary lake, with southern exposure, a large deck and plenty of dock space, plus a swim float. Green Lake is a small, pond-size lake, so boat traffic is low, waves are small, and kids are safe. Canada Lake, accessed by boat, offers more adventures. Hike from the house to Kane Mountain fire tower for breathtaking views, or let the kids explore nearby ponds with salamanders, tadpoles and beaver dams. You can have a fulfilling week without leaving the lake – but there’s lots to explore in this unique southern Adirondack location. Saratoga, Cooperstown, the Adirondack Museum and Lake George Great Escape are popular day trips.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location at the end of the lake was excellent and the house was very cozy but with plenty of room. We enjoyed canoeing around the lake and the easy access to hiking. Given it was still early in the season it could be a bit chilly in the morning, but we still enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the hummingbirds and the loons. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer as our stay was part of a longer journey.

Best Ever ADK family vacation

The entire family had a great time at Martha’s house on Green Lake. Parents, Teenagers, and Grandparents all had fun. Swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Table on the fully enclosed porch was super for family meals. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We made Birthday cupcakes, shrimp tacos and many more meals. We hope to come back again. 5 stars from our family.

Wonderful stay on Green Lake

Our family had a wonderful time at this lake house! We were able to swim right off the dock, which has stairs which made an easy entry into the water. We also canoed, hiked and enjoyed water views from the deck. This was important since one person in our group has accessibility issues. It was a great house for our multi-generational family vacation. There were lots of boats for us to use as well as a well stocked kitchen. There are lots of great hiking trails nearby as well. The owner was available and easy to contact. I would highly recommend this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Tecca

Host profile image
My siblings and I grew up with summers on Green Lake, and we have a deep love for this special place and its people. I now live in New Hampshire -- also beautiful country, but I miss being able to spend as much time at our home on Green Lake home as we would like. Now my children, with Michael as primary contact, are pitching in to help manage and maintain our home so we can continue to share its charm. We are thrilled to be able to share this spot and vicariously enjoy the summer on the lake with our guests.

Why they chose this property

My parents discovered Green Lake in the early 70's and both rented and owned other houses on the lake. They purchased this home in 1990, because it's truly the best spot on what we think to be the best lake in the foothills of the Adirondacks! The house sits right on the lake, with the road a safe distance behind it; there is a nice stretch of waterfront, with a gradually sloping, sandy bottom; we have wonderful neighbors on both sides; there are hiking and biking trails right out the back door; and from our protected, small lake, we can access larger Canada, West and Lily Lakes. It's a truly special spot!

What makes this property unique

So many! The house is really set in nature, with a master bedroom that looks out over the lake and a fabulous deck that fills with afternoon sun. Loons are quite common, and in this calm lake you often see them just yards from the shore. Two example firsts from 2017: the biggest fish we've caught in green lake -- my son caught an 18' bass, and we saw a merganser duck with 7 babies on her back! Two days later the ducklings were following her solo. There's always something new!
