Our family vacation was all I expected and then some. Our hostess was amazing. The home was perfectly situation with every amenity at our fingertips. We were able to bring in our boat, use the paddle boat and available kayak, as well as an amazing hot tub.
It was a fabulous vacation for three generations of my family!

Loved the home and enjoyed the access to the water,that was key. It was so important to have a place we had space to have some time alone but also we had several places that we could gather together., which was so important to me.We loved the deck where we eat most of our meals ,we enjoyed the projector TV where we all could watch a late night movie . We also loved playing pool and darts. It truly was a very comfortable place to gather.We loved having the kayaks, the volleyball net , the fire pit and the super host Ahne was able to make are stay not only special but accommodated us with any of our needs!
Thank you Ahne your are special!

Fantastic house
The house and property is even better in person. There is so much to do between the lake activities and many games to be played. The downstairs is just amazing. Ahne was easy to contact and very attentive to our questions. We very strongly recommend this property. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would

Beautiful getaway on Lake Sacadanga
We rented Ahne's beautiful home for a few days getaway and couldn't be more satisfied. It had all the amenities and little touches you could ask for. Games, hot tub, fully stocked, lake front access, water sport toys - we had an incredible stay. Ahne is also a very kind and responsive host who looks out for the quality of your stay. We would definitely love to come back again and recommend this house to anyone else. One of the best places we've stayed in our VRBO adventures.

Fantastic Lake Vacation & Amazing House
Impeccably maintained home, on a great lot overlooking the Sacandaga and Beacon Island. The home comes with everything you need. We didn't need to bring much other than our swimsuits. We rented a boat and made use of the mooring buoy that came with the home. Excellent communication with the owner that lives in the region, and was available at any time. Don't hesitate to book!

Beautiful and welcoming
My family had a great vacation here! Ahne was very responsive, the house was beautiful, well-stocked, and had plenty of entertainment for the rainy days as well as the beautiful ones. We hope to stay here again in the future! Thank you, Ahne, for the hospitality! One note for other guests is that there are a lot of single/double steps around the house. My dad uses a walker so needed a hand here and there, but he managed ok.

Lake House
It was great having a place for the whole family to get away. The house was beautiful and plenty of room for eight adults and two children. Having the lake right there was awesome. The hot tub and pool table were a hit as well.
Communication with Ahne, the owner was great!

Perfect family vacation
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived, and the property manager available and easy to contact. The view of the water was incredible. We had so much to do, and my family was never bored. We had so many activities to choose from, paddle boating, paddle boards, kayaks, swimming, fishing, swinging on the deck and more. At night we would start a fire in the gas fire pit, make smore's, have a pool competition, then finish off the night in the hot tub- still in view of the water. I would recommend this property to any family wanting to get away from the chaos of real life, and just relax. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY.

The Pearman Family Vacation
Our entire family enjoyed their stay at the Lake..especially Katia who keeps looking for the sailboats. Ahne is a wonderful hostess and her kindness only added to our trip. I recommend this rental to anyone looking for a “piece of heaven” here on earth.

Perfect for large family get-together!
We just completed a wonderful five day stay at this really beautiful, really well furnished home on Great Sacandaga Lake. Ahne was a really great host; I actually can’t imagine anyone doing a better job as a host, and she is a great communicator. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and perfectly situated right on the water with its own dock, a small gravel beach, and a variety of canoes, kayaks, SUP, paddle boat, etc. Also, the house is really well stocked, so you don’t need to bring cooking oil, spices, laundry detergent, you name it. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous property
The property owner is considerate and very accommodating. We rented this property for my bridal party to use to get ready in the morning of my wedding, the photos for our "first look" came out amazing with the lake in the background. Picture perfect all around.

Perfect spot for an extended family vacation
The house and the location were great. Plenty of room for all of us (10), and plenty of indoor entertainment (large, open kitchen area, downstairs rec room w/ pool table etc.) and lots of outdoor activities. Ahne was responsive leading up to the trip, and accommodating of our requests (flexibility about reserving her ski boat, changing credit cards, etc.). The house was clean and well stocked, with a lot of cool little features (great bluetooth speakers, trolling motor for the rowboat....). Would definitely go back.
