First I want to compliment and thank the owner Bob who was very accommidating to our family. My husband, me, kids (late 30's)and granddaughters spent the week. We flew in from Florida so we were not able to bring things we might have needed in a VRBO. Bobs mountain (yes mountain) and surrounding area is gorgeous. The girls loved swimming in the lake and one evening we ate dinner on the top of the mountain and watched the sun set over the lake. The house is very cozy and does not feel like a rental. The kitchen has tons of dishes, pots, pans, spices, and nice appliances. The bedrooms are comfortable. My granddaughters who re 2 and 5 had all they needed for the week to be entertained with toys, books, highchair, pack and play, safety gates for the stairs, life jackets, and a beautiful backyard to run and roll down the hill, gather leaves and just look at the sky. The fire pit is large and great for smores. We bought the fixings and they have everything else, wood and roasting sticks. My favorite thing about the house was the screen porch! We relaxed and ate on the porch all week. There is great new furniture and a deck with 2 grills. The only thing I could caution others about is the steep hike to the lake from the house which I didn't realize. If you are older and not used to walking on steep terrain you can drive around the corner down to the lake but it is tight and there is just a small area to park. The dock, kayaks, and canoes were enjoyed by all.

We were 2 couples and were very comfortable. “The Shack” (as the owner calls it) has 2 perfectly well-outfitted private bedrooms on the first floor and a bath with shower off the kitchen. The open upstairs has 2 queen beds and a full bath with a tub. There is a great room with plenty of seating and a beautiful fireplace. There’s a deck with both a gas grill and charcoal grill. The appliances inside the house were all brand new. We brought our own beach towels, but there were plenty of towels. The spacious fully screened porch had a table that can seat 8 comfortably and also had a seating area. While the house is on the lake, we seniors opted to drive down to the dock as the walk down hill is a little steep. Lakeside there is a picnic table by the brand-new dock that has deck chairs and an umbrella. There is internet service, but no cell service. The owner, Bob, who resides just up the hill, was extremely personable and accommodating. We would (and already have) highly recommend “The Shack” to everyone we’ve spoken to since our return home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet, well outfitted classic Adirondack vacation lake property, look no further. We will keep this vacation spot in the win & repeat column. Thanks Bob

My wife, our two well behaved, mature dogs and I just returned from a glorious week at Bob and Ann's beautiful Lake Sacandaga, fully renovated farmhouse. The home is located a short walk from the lake and a lovely dock where there are kayaks and canoes available for your boating pleasure. If you prefer the mountains, Bob and Ann have over 200 acres of private property including a 40 minute walk to the top of small mountain where you will enjoy spectacular views of the Great Sacandaga Lake! We also enjoyed hiking the Tenant Creek Falls trail, about 45 minutes from the house, that led to three gorgeous waterfalls. We went to Northville about 30 minutes from the house where there are several good restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the The Local Dining and Spirits restaurant on Main Street. Bob is an incredibly nice host and he was always available to answer our questions and suggest dining options, including La Cosina Mexicana, in Queensbury. The food was amazing! You will not be disappointed by this lovely home and all it has to offer!

Visited with our adult children. Had a wonderful time! Wonderful home with great amenities.

Great place to spend warm summer days

This is a great spot. House is updated with everything you need for the week. New appliances, beds are comfortable and clean. Plenty of space to sit and relax with family inside and out. Updated furniture on screened in porch for meals. Dock has private access to water, picnic table, sitting area on dock with awning, owner allows use of boats and life jackets. Bob the owner very welcoming and attentive to ensure a great stay.

We had a great week at Bob & Ann's comfortable cottage! It's a good layout for extended families with 2 king bed bedrooms on the 1st floor & a larger bedroom with 2 queen beds upstairs. The screened-in porch gets a lovely breeze & there's new furniture that comfortably seats 6 for dining & 4 more casually. The kitchen has everything you need & new appliances. Our boys had a blast jumping off the dock & hiking up the mountain right in front of the property. Bob is helpful for anything you might need & is one of the nicest hosts we've stayed with. Bring your s'more fixings for the firepit! This would be a cozy spot for fall stays too, there's a beautiful fireplace in the LR.
