We really enjoyed staying at this special property. The views are super-amazing, and the home is very large, and clean, with plenty of unique memorabilia. Furnishings are comfortable, including the mattresses. We spent a lot of time in the water - we brought our own floaties/inner tubes. We also took the canoe out for a spin. Everything works well, and the property is close to the town of Lake Saranac where there are restaurants, bars, farmer's markets, and other amenities. You get a ton of privacy. The water is a perfect temperature. Not too cold! Watch out for the bugs in July. Would bring a few cooking items - knives, a good veggie peeler, etc. if you cook a lot. There are basic kitchen items, but we ended up needing a few things. Love the dog-friendly aspect of this rental. Is crucial for us when traveling.
