My husband, tween son, and I stayed here for five days along with our two black lab mixes. The house was wonderful — very clean with sweet rustic/lake house decor, and literally everything we needed (and didn’t know we needed!) was provided. This included a small ping pong/multi-game table, tons of board games, a fire pit with Adirondack chairs, kayaks and life vests, a great kitchen with all the pots/pans/etc to cook at home, and more. The layout was great - bedrooms and bath upstairs, with kitchen, dining room, another bath, laundry, and several different sitting areas on the main floor, giving us room to spread out. The house could easily have accommodated more people if we had a larger group.
The location was perfect for us — steps from the lake without being in a busy area, just around the corner from the town boat launch, and close enough to a little downtown area that we were easily able to grab groceries, pickup takeout one night, etc. We enjoyed hiking (15 mins to the Pharaoh Lake Trail trailhead), biking the 13-mile perimeter of the lake, fishing the lake and the nearby Schroon and Hudson Rivers, kayaking, and enjoying all that the Adirondacks has to offer.
We planned this trip on short(ish) notice to replace a week in Maine that was canceled because of COVID. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, dog-friendly home to spend a relaxing week making memories and adventuring with my family. Todd was an excellent host, and I would absolutely come back and stay here again! My son is already talking about coming back in the winter.
