About this property

Glass Lake Cottage

Set right on the peaceful shores of Glass Lake in Averill Park, this inviting lake house offers a perfect blend of relaxation and easy access to all the best of Upstate New York—no matter the season.

Spend your days kayaking from the private dock, lounging on the deck, or soaking up the sun in the lake-facing sunroom with panoramic views. Fire up the grill for a lakeside dinner, gather around the firepit under the stars, or simply unwind while taking in the calm, flat waters of the lake.

When you’re ready to explore, the region offers plenty of year-round activities. In summer, catch a movie at the nearby drive-in theater or visit charming towns like Chatham and Hudson. Autumn brings spectacular leaf-peeping drives through the Berkshires and Hudson Valley. Winter offers nearby skiing at Jiminy Peak, and spring unveils scenic hiking trails bursting with fresh blooms.

Located just 25 minutes from Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak and about 50 minutes from Saratoga Springs, you’re close to world-class horse racing, concerts, and historic downtown attractions. You’ll also find farm stands, antique shops, and other local treasures throughout the Hudson Valley.

Our family has long treasured Glass Lake and the surrounding community, and we’re delighted to share this special place with you. We hope you’ll feel right at home here, surrounded by the same quiet beauty and welcoming spirit that we love.

Inside, the large kitchen and gathering area serve as the heart of the home—perfect for cooking, sharing meals, and making memories. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunroom, relax with friends on the spacious deck, or work remotely from the primary bedroom’s dedicated workstation with monitor (if you must).

With kayaks, a Peloton bike, a grill, a firepit, and plenty of space to unwind, this home offers everything you need for a perfect getaway. And when night falls, the stars above Glass Lake create an unforgettable backdrop for your stay.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a friends’ weekend escape, or a romantic retreat, this lakeside cottage strikes the perfect balance of peaceful lake living and access to all the excitement Upstate New York has to offer.

Perfect lake house!

Glass lake cottage was the perfect relaxing retreat while I was visiting for a wedding at the Old Daley Inn! The place was clean, had a well stocked kitchen and everything I needed. We were lucky to catch a fantastic sunset and enjoyed the view from the large deck. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful space. Host was communicative and supportive. House was fully stocked and beautiful. The drive way was long and worked perfectly for several cars. We had a wonderful weekend and hope to stay again in the future!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly accessible and responsive, always making sure everything was perfect for us and that we had everything we needed.The property itself is beautifully maintained, with bright, modern finishes and an abundance of natural light that makes the space feel warm and inviting. Everything was spotless and clearly cared for with great attention to detail.The highlight, though, is the setting. Stepping out onto the back deck truly feels like sitting in a boathouse right on the lake—the views are gorgeous and so peaceful. We spent so much time just soaking it all in.The dock was perfect for relaxing by the water, and having access to the kayaks made it even more special—we loved getting out on the lake. In the evenings, the fire pit was such a great touch and made for the perfect way to unwind after a day outside.Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway!
