The space
Perched on a hill in the forest, this rustic and cozy Adirondack mid-century expanded cape style home is a 5 minute walk from the community beach and docks on the lake. If hills concern you, you can see pictures of the driveway in the listing.

Pet Space: The Deck you see in the main picture has a gate, and screened door into the porch/house, that holds most dogs well, so they can be outside and/or in the screened porch at their will, and not need to be watched all the time, as long as a standard height railing will hold them!

Main Floor: Large, open living room/dining room/kitchen area with laundry, master bedroom, and full bath. A big deck with gas grill and screened in porch, perfect for entertaining the whole family.
UPSTAIRS: Three bedrooms that share a bath, and the house is bathed in sunlight within the tree top canopy. Two of the bedrooms are "semi-private", meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom, and to the shared bath. If you MUST work, the upstairs bedroom/office desk lets your spread out, and get it done in the natural light. A second desk and community dining table on the main floor provide more than enough space for productivity.

The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway, so if you are visiting in cold weather you yiou should consider a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle. There are pictures of the driveway in the listing. Please CONTACT US with any questions.

Camera (motion activated, no sound) on the front of the house is aimed at the driveway so that we may monitor the driveway.

This camp is in the woods. You may see signs of wildlife. We have hummingbirds just off the back deck, and a chipmunk who comes and visits on the deck. The house is on a hill surrounded by trees. Most of our guests love it for it's rustic authentic ADK forest setting in a beautiful lake community. Please know ahead of time that it is woodsy and rustic. Also, while your pets are welcome, (and loved) at our home and on our property, they are NOT allowed on community property, particularly at the beach.
