About this property
Located in the beautiful Heldebergs, This is a cute little house you will love.
This cozy house is decorated with a cute Adirondack theme. There is a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The upstairs loft is a large master suite with a queen bed and a futon. Downstairs is the open living room and kitchen with an electric fireplace. There is a charcoal park grill, propane grill, and small fire pit in the back yard. This is a great place for a fall foliage or Romantic get away. It is located near and has lake access to Thompsons Lake (great fishing https://fishmasters.com/top-30-fishing-lakes-new-york-state/) and close to many hiking or mountain biking trails in John Boyd Thachers Park (including the historic Indian Ladder Trail). (https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBa7Vmj5Lh/?utm_medium=copy_link) The park is less than a mile away. Bring a fishing pole, kayak, SUP, or canoe and enjoy a paddle on the beautiful calm lake, or just sit by the lake and enjoy the nature and beauty. Many other hiking trails are nearby including Wolf Creek Falls Preserve, The Winn Perserve (both in Knox) , and The Huyck Preserve in Rensseelearville. For a bite to eat, Maple On The Lake is a great place to eat and enjoy Warners lake and is less than 10 minutes away. The babbling Brook, and My Way Tavern are within 15 minutes.

About the host
Hosted by Erika Robert
I am a teacher in a nearby town. When I am not working I enjoy running, hiking, gardening, kayaking, and the outdoors in general. I live next door to this property. My husband and I enjoy building, decorating, and beautifying our town.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property shortly after we purchased the land next door. We renovated this house and stayed there on and off while building our new house on the property next door. We absolutely loved to come and stay weekends at 53 Betts Lane. Now we live here full time and absolutely love it, we don't think there is a better place to be.
What makes this property unique
The area is very nice. You can walk or run down the back roads around the lake and everyone is friendly and nice. It is a very safe place. Thompsons Lake is a wonderful place to visit. On a summer day you will find people kayaking and fishing. On the weekends you will see some people water skiing, sailing, fishing or enjoying the afternoon on a pontoon boat. The lake is great for fishing, The DEC re-stocks it every year. The water is clean and the area is beautiful.
