Late summer at Star Lake

Our extended family enjoyed our stay at the stone house. Incredible water access that made a great base to some Adk adventures further in the park. The property totally had charm and was very comfortable and private. Bring food and supplies as any stores are far away.

A Repeat Stay

This is our second stay at The Stone House. Just like the first stay, the amenities were perfect for our stay. The furnishings inside of the home met all of our needs, and the outdoor amenities were just right. The communication with Rich was convenient and timely. We look forward to another visit.

The Quintessential ADK Cottage

Our visit to the Stone House on Star Lake was wonderful. The property was conveniently close to Star Lake amenities, but also very private. The stone work was beautiful on both the land and the house itself. The cottage was extremely well appointed, clean and comfortable. Rich was very responsive and helpful.Our daughter had a great time kayaking and listening for the loons - they didn’t disappoint, calling day and night. If you’re looking for the ADK experience, stay here!

Classic!

Magical week at The Stone House for this Californian family! Huge thank you to the owners for sharing such a gem on the lake. Clean, cozy and comfortable. Morning and evening swims in the lake, canoeing alongside the loons and a crackling fire every evening—we loved every minute of our stay. Looking forward to returning someday. Highly recommend!

A little slice of heaven

Just back from a week at The Stone House with its simple charms and beautiful surroundings. Grateful to escape the heat of home, we embraced the cool mornings and enjoyed the delightful afternoons. Every night we had a fire going until we went to bed, sometimes as early as 9 pm. Great place to disconnect from the world (though the wifi worked perfectly when needed). The kitchen had just about everything we needed. My only negative is the lack of big coffee mugs (you need a generous cup of coffee when sitting outside in the morning to help keep you warm) and bowls for soup. Otherwise, we had everything we needed. We did 2 day trips. One up to Ogdensburg (an hour north) to The Frederic Remington Museum. It's a wonderful place in a gorgeous 19th century home. His paintings and sculptures do not disappoint! We also took a longer ridge (2+ hours) down to Old Forge and did a cruise on the Fulton Chain of lakes. Old Forge is a busy town full of shops, restaurants, b&b's, etc. Lots to see and do there if you want to hang out after the 2-hour cruise. The local grocery (Great American) had most of what we needed and we also visited the hardware store. Heading north on route 3 we also visited the bakery (UB's) and Adirondack furniture store where we purchased a few treats to eat and some souvenirs of our visit, all reasonably priced based on what we'd pay at home for the same things. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful to the point where you begin to wonder if you shouldn't just pack up your things and stay there forever. My only negative, is the access to the house from the parking pad. You have to walk down 6-8 steps of stone built into the side of the slope. I have arthritis in both knees so going down the stairs was challenging. I am happy that I thought to bring a trekking pole with me. It gave me more balance and I was more comfortable going downhill. Other than that, I couldn't think of a nicer spot to truly get away from it all and still have everything you need.

Thanks for the lovely review. We've been looking into redoing those stone steps and adding a railing, together with other upgrades to the house. It'll happen at some point. Thanks again for staying; hope you can return some day.

This home is located on the most beautiful lake. Waking up and walking out on the dock for my morning coffee was the best moment of the day. My kids LOVED fishing and using the kayaks. They spent all day outside. It was a beautiful week on the lake.The kitchen was well stocked. We had no problem making meals and finding storage for leftovers. The bathrooms were well kept and the water pressure/hot water was excellent.P.S.We loved the ADK gift shop! Please go visit them as they are the loveliest people.

A Place to Unwind

The Stone House is the place to unwind. The lake was right off our commodious patio at the back door. With coffee or cocktails, the view is delightful. Clean and dry inside, good housekeeping, makes coming in from lake activities a pleasure. Warm wood tones with burgundy and navy accents throughout the house add to the peace. We enjoyed the blend of vintage and new to the max inside and out. We brought back old memories and created new ones. Nice people on the lake. No rush - 12 o'clock check out time the best!

Perfection

This home is absolutely perfect in every way. To begin, Rich, answered all my questions prior to the trip quickly and graciously. Once you drive down the road to the Stone House, you immediately feel as though you are the only family on the lake. It is built into a hill and directly on the water. Very private. The beautiful stone path to the door of the house is well lit and has a unique, real wood railing. I opened the door and felt like I had come home. The photos that are shown so not do justice to the interior of the home. The beautiful natural wood throughout the home give it warmth and character. The house was spotless. When Rich said you just need to bring your food and clothes…that is accurate! I was very impressed with the amount of cozy blankets, crisp linens, towels, and more. Now the kitchen…it has a view of the lake from the windows so I never felt that I was missing out on anything when I was inside preparing meals. The kitchen is fully stocked with every size/shape pan/pot/dish! I cannot think of one thing that it needed. They have EVERYTHING you would need! We spent our days and nights on the beautiful stone deck and wooden docks. Rich and Abbie have a cozy, authentic Adirondack Stone House that is truly one of a kind. Do not pass up an opportunity to stay here!

Rustic Lakeside Gem

If you are looking for a classic Adirondack cabin experience, you have found the right property. This is a magical little place set directly on the shores of Star Lake. DIRECTLY, it has the amazing feel of a boathouse. We spent four nights there over Father’s Day weekend, and my only sadness with the trip is that we did not have a full week. My husband and I shared the cottage with our two children (13, and 11 years) and my husband’s parents, It was the perfect size for the six of us and had everything we could need, although it turned out that our needs were very little. Although the kitchen could easily support cooking a fancy meal, and the little living room was totally cozy with its reading nook and fireplace, we found ourselves spending the entire time OUTSIDE on the dock. We grilled outside, ate outside, read outside, played outside and laid on the dock at night and watched the Milky Way stretch across the sky. I was eternally jealous of my children who scored the prime bedding on the sleeping porch, but have warned them that when we return, that spot is MINE! Rich was wonderful to work with, responsive to our needs and the information about the cottage was so thorough that we never felt ourselves wondering where something was that we needed. Neighbors are super-friendly, and although the occasional jet ski found its way through the channel, the most common vessel we saw were the puttering dock-boats making their way to the sandbar, and.that just added to the charm of the place. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, look no further!
