Great Labor Day vacation! Beautiful spot tucked away on the lake. The kids loved the huge yard and we all enjoyed kayaking and canoeing. Waking up to the beautiful sunrises and seeing the Moon come out was so nice. Great stay and great spot! Explore NY!

Driving through the woods we saw two owls fly across the road and land in a tree up ahead. Arriving at camp the woods opened to the most spectacular lawn and lakefront on all of Upper Chateaugay. Everyone grabbed a bag and headed across a tiny stone bridge, past lush ferns, and stands of white birch. Our youngest reached down and cupped a toad In her hands showing it off to us. The first kid to the front porch open the screen door and the sound took me back to my childhood. My shoulders relaxed downward. The kids explored then ran down to the beach, swam it to the raft, laughed and talked, and forgot about social media. Each day unfolded peacefully- coffee in rockers by the lake, a kayak ride, swimming, yard games, planning the evening meal (we love to cook!) The kids went water skiing and tubing in the afternoon while we played cards, did crossword puzzles, and laughed at old family stories. The old fashioned propane lamps gave ambiance to nighttime reminiscing and set the tone for a quiet, deep sleep after our last walk to the beach to point out constellations and listen to the loons. If you are seeking a magical place to unwind and connect with all that matters to you, to nature, to quiet... then this is the Adirondack camp and mountain ringed lake for you! Also, Karen Heath was wonderful to work with and really cared about our stay in this place she and her family have shared for years.

The lake access was incredible, one of the nicest we’ve stayed. Beautiful views of the mountains and multiple access points to the lake with sandy beaches plus a dock. The cabin is rustic as the description states but it was perfect for our needs. There was an issue with mice that was a nuisance but not enough to deter from all the positives the property offered. Would definitely visit again.

The pictures do not do this property justice. The cabin is spectacular and very inviting. The property is breath taking and there is always something fun to do ( kayaking, canoeing, hiking, etc.) or you can just relax and take in the beautiful view. Karen was super easy to get in touch with and very helpful. We will definitely be going back.

The perfect place at the lake. Had a wonderful stay. House is perfectly equipped with all you need. Having kayaks and a canoe available is priceless. Thank you Karen!

A real authentic Adirondack camp. Beautiful spot. Loons there too.

Absolutely beautiful property!! Our 3 year old didn’t want to leave. Very quiet and serene lake.

Everything about our stay was ideal--location, accommodations, weather, boats for water fun. The owner was welcoming and very helpful. We will be back next year!

This camp was great , plenty of beds , huge areas for outside activities decent dock for boats , and nice sandy swim areas. Would like to stay there again !

What an incredible week we had at Lakeside Cottage! It is the perfect family get away…ideal for energetic kids with a mowed meadow large enough for lots of activity…the dock/swimming raft were perfect for fishing, lazing in the sun…we kayaked, and canoed/rowed…lots more fishing…campfires…inviting Adk. chairs and rockers…gazing at the beautiful lake and mountain vista. The grounds were incredible! The cottage had all the amenities of home and more…off the grid…so comfortable with all the sleeping areas to choose from…the sleeping porches were incredible…get away from the bugs (yes, they were a bit brutal at times)…but, had so many options with the numerous porches to lounge…reading, games, listening to the many birds and the haunting but beautiful call of the loons to fall asleep by! Just glorious! Make sure you bring enough food…books, etc…you won't want to leave…it's the perfect get away…rejuvenation…laying on the hammock gazing at the water through the birches…enjoying the breeze…it has so much to offer for everyone! We hit the lotto on this cottage and all its' offerings…paradise found!

This quaint cottage on a large lakefront property is our favourite place to vacation. It allows you to feel the rustic comfort of cottaging yet with the luxury of a vast and private lot spanning the shoreline of a lake which is unbelievably peaceful for its size. Deep in the woods, you can finally unwind to a degree that is almost impossible for those of us used to the hustle and bustle of big city living.With our sixth summer stay recently concluded, we are already looking forward to next year (and so is our dog who sulks for the first few days of being home).
