Waterfront Adirondack house: 3 bedroom, 2 bath, pet-friendly

Enjoy any season in the Adirondacks at this beautiful, recently renovated three-bedroom lakeside house on the east shore of Schroon Lake which can easily sleep 8. The home features three queen beds and one full bed, plus a cozy basement living room with a twin bed for extra comfort.

This house provides a summer or winter playground right on Schroon Lake with 100 feet of private lakeshore - half an hour from Lake George or Gore Mountain, three quarters of an hour from Saratoga Springs. There are gorgeous views to the northwest from all levels of the house so you get great lake, sunset and mountain views.

On the 100+ feet of shoreline, there is a small sandy beach, a dock, chairs for sitting, and all with easy access via a grassy ramp. The house is about a half a mile to the small town of Adirondack, which has a general store that sells convenience items and serves breakfast and lunch. There is also a park, tennis court, public beach, basketball court, playground, baseball field and post office right in Adirondack.

This house is a modern chalet, newly renovated and furnished in winter 2012, and again in 2021. It has a open concept living room, dining room and kitchen which have sliding doors onto a large deck. The deck has a gas grill, lots of seating and great views. The living room has a large wood-burning fireplace with a flat screen television with DVD player. This main floor also has a spacious bedroom with a queen size bed, and a bathroom with a shower. Above the main level is a bedroom with a queen size bed and a double size futon.

Downstairs is a great game room containing a flat screen television with a DVD player and a pull out single bed. There is also a washer/dryer for your convenience. The lower level also has a walk out entrance on the lake side, a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower. Its a great setup - grown ups can socialize upstairs while the kids have their space downstairs.

Amenities include wireless internet, cable, washer & dryer, speakers with MP3 player attachment, dishwasher, air conditioning, fireplace, and two large TVs with Roku for streaming and DVD players. Linens and towels are provided, and the kitchen includes a coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, and dishes and cookware for 8. Our house is smoke free, but we allow pets, with prior permission. For your convenience, there are some DVDs, games and an assortment of books.

Summer activities include swimming at your private lakeshore, hiking, biking (either mountain or road!), fishing and lounging on the large deck, at the waterfront or on your private dock. Nearby Schroon Lake Village has shops, restaurants, and a marina where you can rent boats or take waterskiing lessons. Schroon Lake also has public docks, so if you bring a boat you can head over there by boat to shop or get pizza! There are public boat launches at both ends of the lake. At Saratoga Springs in July and August you can go watch the world's best thoroughbred racing at the Saratoga Race Track, or stroll through historic Saratoga Springs, with its fabulous Victorian houses and shops. Closer by is Lake George, with a large amusement park and lots of outlet shopping.

Enjoy a real North Country winter as Schroon Lake freezes over and the snow falls. Cross-country ski right outside your front door or on the lake or on nearby trails. About 40 minutes away is Garnet Hill Lodge with a large expanse of groomed trails. Downhill sking at Gore Mountain is just a half an hour away, with 2,537 feet of vertical, and plenty of cruisers, steeps and glades to satisfy any level of skier or rider. There is a well-tended network of snowmobile trails in the area as well. Nearby Chestertown has a ski/sledding hill with a rope tow and a small outdoor skating rink that is free to use on weekends. Ice fishing is a favorite local activity. Because of the uncertain weather, we only rent by the month or longer in the winter - please reach out to ask about particulars.
