About the host
Hosted by Sarah & TJ
We’re TJ & Sarah, a dynamic cousin duo who grew up in Upstate New York - about 25 miles away from Sacandaga! Then after TJ ran out of podcasts sitting in DC traffic and Sarah couldn’t afford to have any trees outside her basement apt windows in NYC, we both gladly made the move back to the Capital District / Adirondacks to be closer to family. However, that big city energy means we can’t sit still, so we’re making our life-long lake house dream come true!
Why they chose this property
Discover the Great Sacandaga Lake, a hidden gem nestled within the heart of the majestic Adirondack Mountains. This enchanting 29-mile-long reservoir remains a well-kept secret, offering a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. Whether you're into boating, water sports, snowmobiling, skiing, or fishing, this pristine landscape has it all. The surrounding area boasts an array of delightful restaurants, charming shops, and a rich tapestry of historical sites waiting to be explored.
Our cabins rest upon 2.5 acres of natural splendor, seamlessly merging with the tranquil embrace of the Forever Wild forest, which beckons you to explore its whispering trails. Be sure to indulge in the awe-inspiring vistas and captivating sunsets that grace our 77-foot beachfront, just a short stroll down the trail from your cabin.
But the wonders of the Adirondacks extend beyond Sacandaga's shores. Nearby treasures like Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and Bolton Landing beckon with their own unique charms, promising an abundance of memorable experiences.

What makes this property unique
Bear Den is a rustic haven exuding Adirondack charm. Crafted with knotty pine, this cabin boasts traditional Adirondack décor that transports you to a bygone era of cozy mountain getaways. The main living area, adorned with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows, bathes the space in natural light, while a versatile loft area awaits above, offering the perfect retreat for an additional bedroom, playroom, or tranquil workspace.
You’ll feel right at home in the open kitchen, where all of the cookware, utensils, and dishware you’ll need for your culinary adventures. Whether you're whipping up a meal from scratch, ordering takeout, or grilling up a storm on the patio (our personal favorite), you'll feel right at home here.
As for entertainment, remember our mention of streaming? Utilize the Roku device on the living room's flat-screen TV, granting you access to your preferred streaming services in Guest Mode. No worries about logging out; technology handles it for you. Enhance the ambiance by flicking on the gas stove fireplace and cuddle up for a cozy movie night.
Rest assured, we've taken care of all your essential needs, from towels and a hair dryer to soap, napkins, coffee, and more.
Now, let's embark on a lakeside adventure! Nestled along the shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake, our property offers a 77-foot beachfront shared among the four homes on our charming cul-de-sac, exclusively available to our guests. A mere three-minute stroll from the cabin leads you to the beach, accessible via the driveway or the scenic Lake Trail behind the house. Be sure to exercise caution when crossing the road and keep a watchful eye on children, both on the road and by the lake. Feel free to bring your own chairs, floaties, and activities to amplify the fun.
