About this property
Beautiful Lakeside Retreat on the Great Sacandaga Lake
Ideal for families looking for a relaxing place to create new memories. This 'Sacandaga Sanctuary' is a beautiful, peaceful place to unwind, connect with nature and have a lot of fun!
Direct Lakeside, Private Sandy Beach, 52' Dock (newly extended spring 2026), Mooring, Gradual Grade with Unbeatable View! Bring your own boat or rent one.
Located in Mayfield, on the south-west end of the lake, close to marinas and launch sites. Close to boat-in restaurants on the lake.
Available on a 3-night basis off-season ($1350/night) OR on a monthly basis as a Mid-Term monthly rental (6-7 months) ($10,500/month). End of June until beginning of September, available on a 7 night minimum basis (Saturday to Saturday) ($1550/night)
This is a pet friendly home. Please inquire whether your 'other family member(s)' of the furry, canine variety, meet the criteria. Two max and No additional pet fees.
New 2026: Early check in at 2:30 pm (check out at 10:00 am)
Description:
Plenty of space in this 3,431 SF home (12 people max.) to create lasting memories.
Gorgeous sunrises and lazy summer days, the lake is your playground for boating, tubing, kayaking, swimming, etc. (Kayaks, SUP, paddle boat available. We even have sunfish sailboats for those who can demonstrate competency). Floating swim platform in addition to the dock. Please inquire if interested in renting a pontoon boat. As summer progresses, lake levels recede and beach area becomes larger (sand and some stone). 8'x8' shaded platform to sit by the beach with a few steps for easy, safe access. Bonfire pit by shore for those magical evenings under the stars.
Beautiful stone patio with outdoor hot tub for 8, gas fire pit, sun beds, cocktail table, outdoor shower (new in 2026) & Adirondack chairs.
Are you the adventurous type? Try sleeping outside under the canopy of stars on a warm summer night! (Easy to set up).
Never a dull moment with bar (lights up), poker table, dart board, tournament sized pool table, 100" projector and screen with HD movies... (Apple TV, Netflix, etc.), ping pong in garage. Sonos speakers. New for 2026, easy to set up volleyball / badminton net & birdies and lawn games, including corn hole. Spacious yard, partially fenced. New for 2026, electric dog door leading to fenced in area.
New large composite deck with extendable table for 10, large day bed, hanging pod chair and grill.
Sleeping options:
- Stay in the fully insulated and heated / cooled cottage with a short queen and twin sleeper sofa for a more private experience (no running water / bathroom).
- Full size bed in tree fort. New in 2026: finished interior, lights and power for charging electronics. A/C upon request. (No running water / bathroom)
- 3 queen beds and one California King in the 4 bedrooms Plus:
- Custom built boat bed (1 adult) made from an actual row boat
- 4 additional Full size comfortable memory foam mattresses paired with rollaway frames, if desired. Pls inquire.
Enough beds/floor mattresses for 12 people to have their own beds, some in shared spaces.
Fully stocked and turn-key. New toaster oven / air fryer and larger stainless steel pots / pans.
Environmentally conscientious owner with solar panels - stay cool in summer with A/C and warm in winter with wood stoves and electric heat (powered, in part, by the sun).
Clean, healthy (untreated, great tasting) well-water filtered with new high-end UV light system.
No extra charge for cleaning and dogs.
Plenty of hiking, biking, skiing, etc. close by.
Only 45 minute drive to world-renowned Saratoga Springs (spas, shopping and dining, etc.) and Equidistant to Canada, Boston, NYC.
Upon booking, guests will receive emails with House Rules, Manual, and Liability Waiver. Guests will have 3 day period of rescission, during which time they can receive a full refund. By keeping their booking beyond this 3 day period, guests are inherently agreeing to all terms. Please inquire about our cancellation and partial refund policy. It is not as stated on this platform. All guest 18 years or older, must sign our Liability Waiver.
House is not to be rented for the purpose of ‘partying’. Guests violating this rule may be charged their full security deposit, even when there’s no damage.
Should there be damage, and/or complaints filed by neighbors, you'll be charged up to $1,500. Claims in excess, would be handled separately.
Thank you and we look forward to hosting you!
