About Frank
We've been vacationing in Schroon Lake for over 30 years. After the passing of our family patriarch, the family home on the east side of Schroon Lake was sold.
A few years passed and we missed visiting the Adirondacks, so our search for the perfect family vacation home began.
Our quest for the right house seemed endless, but we finally found the vacation home of our dreams. The house was built in 1830 and is one of the oldest houses in Schroon Lake. Many rumors surround our house, mainly told to us by local residents. We and the Historical Society are researching those rumors, one of which is that the house was part of the Underground Railroad. The Society has been in contact with an expert researcher and we have offered full access to the house in order to give him the opportunity to determine its place in History. We're anxious find learn the results of his research. A well known fact is that Together at Schroon Lake was an original part of the Schroon Lake Camp ( for Boys), which was founded by Rabbi Issac Moses in 1906. Our house is one of only a handful of homes that has access to a "Secret" tunnel, which crosses below Route 9 and gives access to our association beach. We love sharing the history of the home when our guests arrive. If you reserve our home, we will give you a tour and tell some of the stories related to the house .
Frank purchased this house in 2015

The best Schroon Lake vacation home. Ever!
My husband and our 2 children, in addition to my brother in law and his family, chose to stay in Together at Schroon Lake over the 4th of July holiday. What a fabulous treat! Frank and his wife are lovely people. I have rented vacation properties all over the world from VRBO, and I have to say that Frank is one of the most attentive owners I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The home is clearly his pride and joy, and we appreciated the opportunity to 'borrow' it for great family time.
Some highlights:
-The game room is well stocked with games. So much to pick a game and go for it!
-The kitchen has high-end, new appliances. Wonderful to have a working and clean fridge and freezer with ample room.
-The kitchen has plenty of storage for your non perishable items. Hooray for cabinet space!!
-The beds are all new, clean, and firm. No dust, saggy mattresses, or old linens. It was great to wake up refreshed every day.
-Wi-Fi! Works throughout the house. very exciting. most rentals in this area do not have this feature.
-The tunnel to the beach: so fun!! what an interesting history this house has.
-Decor in general: beautiful landscaping, a cute bicycle out front, and fun firepit.
Thank you Frank for such memories! We look forward to returning next year.
Perfect Family Vacation Home - SIX STARS!!!
Having been on a number of family vacations and vacations with friends, we have experience with all types of vacation homes. I am not sure either of us ever has seen such a well-stocked, well-set up, spacious, well-taken-care-of place to spend a family vacation. The multiple master suites on the first floor allowed us both to stay comfortably, while our five children split up among the four upstairs bedrooms. The house has so many wonderful features, it was difficult to take advantage of them all in only a week.
We enjoyed the screened in porch, the wrap-around deck and the quiet sitting room. The family room had a great seating setup for us to watch movies with the kids and the game table was a nice addition we took advantage of on multiple nights. The six-burner grill is another treat you do not find at many vacation rentals. And all of the appliances were in great working order (the coffee maker having a pot setting and single k-cup setting also was great). We made s'mores with the outdoor fire pit and enjoyed the spacious yard.
It is wonderful not to have to pack linens, paper goods (they even provide dixie cups for the bathrooms!) or extra place settings as all were plentiful. The beds and furniture were comfortable and obviously well maintained.
It also was really nice to have the close-by walkway under the highway to access the beach. The review does not allow enough characters to say everything we loved about this place.
And on top of that, the owners are extremely responsive and easy to deal with. We cannot imagine anything we would change about the home and would look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Frank, for an ideal and relaxing vacation!
Beautiful House!
The house was gorgeous and well equipped. Modern appliances but an old fashioned look. It had so many bedrooms we had rooms to spare, and the location right on route 9 was very convenient. We loved the private beach as well.
What a great place! Everything you need for a family vacation in Schroon Lake.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. It was perfect for our vacation. The home is spacious, comfortable and very well kept. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Large table inside and one on the porch were ideal for family dinners.
Frank is a great host and was always available if we had questions. Thanks again for allowing our family to be together at your home.
Wonderful place!
The house was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The hosts were attentive. Wonderful experience for the extended family.
WONDERFUL weekend experience!! A+++++
Our family had the most incredible weekend staying at this gorgeous home on Schroon Lake. Frank, the owner, gave us a great tour and took the time to explain the history of the home and several of the antiques within. You can tell that this home is well loved and has a great history. We had TONS of room for 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The kitchen was one of the nicest I have seen with brand new appliances and well stocked with anything you may need to cook with (pots, pans, utensils, plates etc.) The yard was perfect- big enough for the kids to safely run around and equipped with a fire pit that us adults thoroughly enjoyed. The proximity to the private beach (right across the street- an easy walk without kids, or a quick drive if you have kiddos) made it a breeze to spend the day at the lake. The beach had several adirondack chairs and umbrellas for us to use, which we appreciated since we forgot beach chairs! There are 2 great restaurants and a brewery less that 5 minutes from the house, making planning for our nights a cinch. The town of Lake George was about a 25 minute drive, which we didn't mind at all since we prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the town. We had a truly lovely weekend and cannot thank the Esposito's enough for letting us stay in their wonderful home.
