Phyllis and Marty were excellent to work with, they shared a wealth of knowledge of the area and activities for us to do. Excellent location and the house is fully stocked with anything you might need!
Spacious well-appointed house with broad lawns and westerly views of lake and distant hills from a fully furnished screened-in porch. The house is well-stocked with everything a traveler might need. Hosts welcomed us with fresh flower arrangements and breakfast of fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and local coffee! The little aluminium boat even got us out on the lake! Minor drawbacks: Rte. 9 noise and poor swimming off the dock. But a 5 minute walk to the town beach (perfect for young kids!) made up for that. Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Owner response to guest review:
“The Maples” is located on Route 9, the convenient and historic north-south road through this Adirondack village. It is distanced and shielded from the road by a high cedar hedge. The principal focus of The Maples house is on the opposite side from the road, on the porch side facing the lake.
Beach condition varies with the season and lake water level. The Schroon Lake Association and the Town of Schroon maintain this lake as one of the cleanest large lakes in the Adirondacks. A five minute walk brings our guests to the broad sandy Town Beach, with life guards, grassy lawns, and stunning views…. A real attraction for adults and children alike.
That says it all. Phyllis and Marty are excellent hosts and the Maples is perfect. We could not have asked more a more pleasant week to relax.

About the host
Hosted by Phyllis Shames Korn
Phyllis Shames first came to the Adirondacks as a young camper at nearby Camp Woodmere in 1944. Her parents, Frank and Dorothy Shames stayed nearby to visit, fell love with Schroon Lake, and bought The Maples the following year. The family has enjoyed this lakeside home ever since. Phyllis brought fiance Marty to visit in 1955, and he too fell under the thrall of the Adirondacks. They remain avid hikers, climbers and sailors to this day, and now live "up the hill" from Spring until Fall, with adventurous visits from children, grandchildren and friends.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful, historic, lakeside with dock, views, peaceful, convenient to town and surrounding attractions, wide screened idyllic dine-in porch with views of lake and mountains.
