The Space
Hello. Welcome to our house. We call it The Abeling, after the Abeling's Mt View House which was here nearly a century ago.

A hidden gem, Sacandaga Lake is great for boating, fishing and swimming. We are located near the top of the lake, and face south, down the neck of the lake.

Directly on the lake, there are no roads to cross to get to the beach. Simply buy food and drinks, then park the car. Our beautiful three(3) bedroom house with four(4) beds, a large deck and 50 feet of Dock is perfect for families and friends to enjoy the lake.

The house has Central Air-Conditioning and heating. We have also tried to fully stock our house with all the amenities a guest could need. The kitchen generally all the amenities of home.

The gas grill is right outside the kitchen for cooking convenience. If you're not the cook, relax at the comfortable island which seats four. Plenty of space to gather, sample, and taste.

The main living room is just off the kitchen. A vaulted ceiling, skylights, and fan make this room a breeze to lounge in. The beautiful stone fireplace is perfect for those chilly nights off-season. Wall to wall windows facing out onto the lake and the deck below make the room easy to enjoy.

The master bedroom also has the vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan, as well as large windows that face the lake . The master bedroom has an adjustable King bed, along with a cozy sitting area to relax into and a desk for those who have to work. Watch for our favorite neighbors- the bald eagles.

The second bedroom is next to the master, off the living room. It has a comfortable adjustable queen bed and large side window.

The full bathroom with tub and shower is next to the second bedroom. It is the main bathroom.

Moving down the spiral staircase to the finished basement, guests can see the sun pouring in and the large deck accessed through the four sliding doors. A lovely sitting area in the Sunroom is just outside of the third bedroom.

The third bedroom is downstairs. With a its own sliding door to the deck, walk-in closet, and pocket door for privacy; it is just steps from the kitchenette and feels more like its own apartment.

The kitchenette is the utility kitchen for the deck and downstairs guests. It has its own coffee machine or Keurig, as well as microwave and Full sized refrigerator. There is a basin sink in the laundry/storage room just next to the kitchenette.

Nestled in, past the kitchenette and half bath is the den. Cozy and couch-filled, this room boasts an American Leather Queen Sleeper Sofa with gel mattress. A large Smart Tv with cable. Board games, books, cards, and puzzles are also downstairs to enjoy.

But all of this pales in comparison to the lake itself. Relax and enjoy the lake on either deck. Dinner outside, drinks outside, ...everything outside! The large table comfortably seats 6 and the smaller, fire-table seats 4.

The sun shines on the deck almost all day. But fear not! If the sun is not your friend, we have a lovely oversized swivel umbrella that will adjust. Sit still, make the shade move to you.

Done relaxing up top? Head down to the water! Walk down the custom stone pathway to the lower deck with table, stools, and umbrella.

Just a few more steps invites the beautiful water, and sandy beach when the Sacandaga allows it. Water levels do fluctuate. The dock begins here and extends out into the Great Sacandaga Lake.

The driveway is paved and flat, easy to park and unload. We are off the main road, quiet and convenient.
