Beautiful Oasis
We absolutely loved our time in the chalet. It was so cozy & has the most beautiful views. The owner has done a wonderful job with the landscaping outdoors & there are so many sweet touches inside to make you feel at home. We will treasure our memories from our stay & we hope to visit again.

perfect setting
Great place to stay for a central location to do hikes and such. Private and relatively quiet. You can hear the cars on 30 but it's not bad at all. Lots of room. Beautiful scenery. Great deck to hang out on. Perfect place to come back to after a day out and about.

2023 - ADK Vacation
We are repeat customers. My husband and friends and 1 dog loved our stay. My siblibgs and their families rented nearby and came to visit. The Indian Ridge Chalet is in a great location to the center of town (Indian Lake) down the road and routes leading to other attractions. Roomy and has multiple bathrooms. My only suggestion - If you plan to come when it's really warm - you might want to bring more fans with you - the house does get full sun. Definitely will look to return. Kelly (NJ)

A Marvelous Vacation
We spent a week at the chalet in October of 2022. It was a wonderful experience. Grand views from the deck looking over the mountains The location is excellent and central to the Adirondacks. The chalet was large, well equipped and very clean. The owner was available and supportive. We could not have asked for more.... We hope to return again Stephen

Great stay at the Chalet
Thanks for a great home base for checking out the area. Fit 2 families of 4 comfortably. The place is right on the main road, but that didn’t matter since the view out back and outdoor space was private and large. Indoor area was as expected- loved the historic feel — and that there was a dishwasher. Centrally located.

Summer in Indian Lake @ Indian Ridge Chalet
Lovely Property - Excellent back deck mountain view. Plenty of rooms for sleeping and restrooms. There's a campfire pit area a short path away. We experienced 2 days of a heat wave and there were plenty of fans - the front bedroom or the bottom floor were the best sleeping options on these heat wave days. Definitely would like to return.

Amazing views!
This cabin is set in a beautiful wild flower garden with wonderfully tended grounds and amazing mountain views! Our family had a great time exploring the property and the lakes around it. Absolutely gorgeous property! The cabin on the main floor was perfect, however my family could not use the first floor at all. The musty smell, although we opened all windows doors and fans were on...did not disappear. :( My brother had a full on asthma attack trying to sleep down there. No worries, he is ok! Overall, a great time!

Beautiful chalet!
This chalet was glorious overall. The views are unmatched and the ability to go pretty much any where in the Adirondack park within 1-2 hours is perfect. The kitchen could use some upgraded equipment and the deck needs some attention but neither of those things outweigh how great it was. I addressed these issues with the owner and hopefully they will be rectified. We will be back!

Amazing getaway with friends and family
My family and friends visited the Indian Chalet and had a great time. The closeness of the property to Gore Mountain was what led us to booking the chalet and it did not disappoint. The surrounding area of the property is extremely beautiful and we were able to walk around the backyard and explore a bit. The fireplace in the middle of the living area is very nice to gather and relax together. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Cosy cottage
We spent a long winter weekend at Lake Indian. The cottage is very cozy, functional for a group of up to 8, in a bucolic setting with wonderful views of the mountains. When we came in the evening the thermostat was on low and the house was very cold. Temperature outside was around minus 15 F. first night was spent under several duvets. Next day as the heating got underway was warm and nice. The sandstone fire place added both charm and heat! We cooked dinners and although kitchen equipment was old, everything worked fine. We even made a curling surface on the small pond by a lean-to and made an outdoor fire, gazing at stars and dreaming of staying forever. We will definitely come back!

What a view!
This was a great location. Kinda in the middle of the Adirondacks so anywhere you wanted to go was an easy trip. The chalet was cozy and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The weather was typical fall weather with some rain, sun, and a chill in the air. This did not stop us from hanging on the deck to take in the dramatic show of the clouds scraping across the mountain tops. If you're looking for a central location, but someplace you want to hang out in between adventures, then this is the place.

About the host

Hosted by Roberta McColl

Host profile image
Our Indian Lake camping/fishing/hiking family purchased Indian Ridge Chalet, an all-year-round vacation house because we wanted to be able to go up for "white water" rafting in the spring, cross-country (Garnet Hill), downhill (Gore Mountain), snow-mobiling and spectacular fall foliage This area has something to do every season, pristine lakes everywhere, a Town skating rink up the hill, boating and biking plus the world acclaimed Adirondack Museum (regional museum) in a part of our town called Blue Mountain Lake (part of Indian Lake) .

Why they chose this property

It is user friendly, especially for extended families as it can accommodate 10 adults plus a few kids!? It is well equipped and furnished without being slick and fussy. Had a Connecticut sculptor do an "Adirondack Wildlife Totem Pole" from a troubled spruce tree stump about 14 feet tall at entry-way. A wild meadow garden is part of the entry path. The property is on one of the Designated Views in the Park, It is private, yet easy access to Town. The picnic area has a small "farm" pond for the wildlife with an authentic Adirondack lean-to, picnic table, and fire-pit with wood provided.

What makes this property unique

The mountain views from the Chalet are quite exceptional. (The Bullhead Mountain Range and Siamese Pond Wilderness area) Central location in the ADIRONDACK PARK. ( The largest public park in the USA). We are about 40 minutes from Lake George (lots to do and see there) and about 1.5 hour drive to the Lake Placid area . Local lakes are Indian Lake (canoe and boat rentals and super camping areas), Lewey Lake, Adirondack Lake, and Lake Abanakee.
