Amazing stay! Relaxing and wonderful location for families

We had a wonderful time at this property with our two young children (almost 5 year old and 19 month old). The view is amazing, the water is clean and shallow which was great for young children. We enjoyed relaxing, fishing, local hike at Auger Falls, visited Northampton beach which was wonderful and just relaxed. Very happy I brought my bike to bike around the lake which was beautiful as well. We would love to return next summer and just so happy we came to this property. Best family vacation we have had yet!

Beautiful view and love the area

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here for a family vacation with young children. We enjoy the location, Lakeview and general region. The only feedback we have is that the cabin really needs a deep clean. I am not a clean freak by any means yet there is dust everywhere which made me actually clean up some of it. The kitchen could use some upgraded pots/pans/tea kettle, etc. Also I know to bring our own toilet paper, etc. but it would be appreciated if there was at least one full roll of paper towel and not just 3 sheets left by the last person. Little things like that make a big difference and I think would be appreciated by all who visit. We still love the location and upgrades like the replaced hammock from last year. Just a good deep clean is really needed as the same dusty things from last summer had even more dust this time. Still would recommend this place and location though and we appreciate the kind owners.

Beautiful Vacation Spot

Beautiful, Secluded, Peaceful Vacation spot. Surrounded by amazing mountain views and nature! Saw ducks, geese, bald eagles, and otters. The lake home had everything we needed and more! It had such a homey feel. Our favorite place to hang out was the screened-in porch overlooking the lake. Nearby Speculator had everything you needed from groceries to restaurants to gift shops and ice cream. Recommend this Vacation spot for de-stressing and getting back to nature!

Lakeside bliss

Right on the lake with an amazing view and sturdy dock. Comfortable digs. Great big screened-in porch, lovely living room, adequate kitchen and bedrooms, delightful seating on the lawn overlooking the lake. Super gas grill. Damp inside, as lakeside homes often are. Perfect setting for swimming, boating (bring you own) or to do nothing but listen to the waves lap on to the shore. Wells is a great little town to get away from it all. Lovely short hike nearby to Auger Falls. World class fries and patty melt at the nearby OverRock Cafe. Excellent corn chowder and perfect toasted cheese sandwiches at the Sunrise Dinner in nearby Speculator. (go to Charlie John for your groceries). Highly recommend this lakeside paradise!

Relaxing getaway

A wonderful relaxing week spent kayaking (rentals), fishing, swimming, campfires, and stargazing on a quiet and low traffic lake. Cottage is cozy with amazing views, and has the basic amenities you need. Kids (ages 11 and 9) had a great time, and the sandy waters around the dock are perfect for wading and floating. We even had a great time reading through the guest book from over the years! Highly recommend this place!

The perfect family spot!

Everything you would want in an Adirondack family vacation! The cabin has everything you need. The lake is perfect for little children because it stays shallow even past the dock. It is private and peaceful and there are a few stores not more than 10 mins away. We were so happy there and would love to return another summer! Thank you Barbara for such a lovely stay!

Perfect spot on the lake!

Our family had another great year at this cabin. As soon as we walked in we were able to relax. The amenities this cabin has is great! We enjoyed the screened in porch every day. The view is amazing! Our kids were able to play out by the dock on in the sandy water and create new memories. My husband enjoyed the grill and cooking. Thanks for another great week at the cabin! We'll be back next year.

Perfect spot on the lake!

Our family enjoyed this property to the fullest! We loved the layout, amenities, and charm of the cabin. Our kids had so much fun in the bunk beds, hammock, and playing outside. The best part is the sandy water that made it easy for the kids to walk out into the water to play. We hope to make this our permanent part of our summers to come!!!

Quaint and rustic waterfront property

This was exactly what we were looking for. The perfect getaway for my family. The property was clean and well kept and we walked in ready to relax. Sitting by the lake watching the kids kayak or fish was just what we needed. We had a fire in the fire pit every night and the welcome gift left by the Nills was enjoyed by all!

Miss the lake view and everything Adirondacks!

This is our fifth year in this rental and it feels like coming home. We live in a city, Boston, and especially appreciate the large lawn that stretches to the lake and the amount of lakefront. The relaxing lake/mountain view is visible from sliders along the back of the house and the screened in porch. We bring a kayak, a blow up row boat, tubes and floats which provide endless entertainment on the water. The hammock is a favorite of my grandchildren as well as s'mores over the campfire at night. We enjoy favorite hiking trails nearby and each year have added new. The house is comfortable and a great setting for enjoying all the Adirondacks have to offer.

AWESOME Getaway!!!

This Home Is located in the perfect spot.... The views of the lake from the windows as your relaxing by the fire are INCREDIBLE! I am a mother of 3 children 4 and under and to be able to just getaway this is the place to go..Sometimes life is just so hectic and to be at this home was just what my family needed.. The girls got to ice skate on the lake, make smores, eat lots of snacks and hang out while dad got to ride his quad.. We not only got to be with our family, but good friends came along. It was like heaven and we can't wait to go back... The day we had to leave we were all very sad to come home.. Thanks again for a great getaway!! The Condos Family!!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Nill

Host profile image
Welcome to our family’s favorite place on the lake! My husband and I have been married for 37 years and raised our four children making memories at the lake every year. From swimming and boating to family dinners overlooking the water, this lake house has always been a special part of our lives. Even now, as adults, our children still love coming back and spending time here with family and friends.

We actually purchased this property based solely on a faxed photo and took a leap of faith—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We are excited to share this special place with guests and hope it becomes the backdrop for wonderful memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because of its incredible lakefront location and unmatched outdoor space. With one of the largest stretches of lakefront on the lake, guests have plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy the water. The shoreline offers easy access, allowing you to simply walk right into the lake—perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or enjoying a peaceful morning by the water.

The property also features a large grassy lawn ideal for games, gathering with family and friends, or simply soaking in the beautiful views.
