TIME TO PLAN YOUR WINTER VACATION

Gorgeous wooded lot, 3b/2b private home with cathedral ceiling.
Heated floors and wood stove make fall and winter evenings especially cozy.

In the winter, enjoy heated flooring in our home and cozy up to the warmth of the wood stove. Spend the day on the snowmobile trails or enjoy family time skiing at Oak Mountain. Bring your snowshoes for hiking.

There is plenty of space in the attached garage for snowmobiles (up to 6).
We also have a flat area at the top of the driveway for a trailer.

In the summer, take advantage of nearby lake access for kayaking or paddleboarding.
Or, take the boat a few miles to the launch area. Explore miles of wooded trails. Enjoy Speculator's ice cream shop EVERY night, concluding with an evening around the fire pit on the patio.

Relaxing

We loved how relaxing the woods and walk to the lake were. We saw deer, wild turkeys and chipmunks. The house was clean and beautifully appointed. Polly was quick to respond to any questions or requests.

Family reunion in lovely Adirondack setting

We were very impressed with this newer property. It was very clean and all made up ready for our stay. Everything seemed to be upgraded perfectly for a VRBO. We had everything we needed for a delightful visit with other family members staying on Lake Pleasant.

Absolutely Wonderful!

We were so blessed to find and rent this property. The home was the perfect size and perfect location for our family! We rented as a surprise for our young grandson and to be close to family at Christmas. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating. It really felt like home right away! I can't say enough about how thrilled we were to stay here! It was so clean & cozy for the winter weather season with warm floors & super comfy beds, ( the best beds we have had in a rental)! The bathrooms were beautiful and also very clean! We also loved that each bedroom had a box fan in the closet! We forgot ours and use them for "white noise" so our grandbabies could nap well. We are really hoping to come again!! We had a great time!! Thank you for the great family memories and wonderful hospitality! May you all have a blessed and prosperous new year!

Relaxing, Quiet Getaway

This place is a quiet, semi-secluded location that is perfect for a night away or a week away. Located less than 10 minutes south of Speculator, it was just the right location for us. From the open, main living area (living room, kitchen, dining) to the bedrooms, everything felt like a home that was welcoming and comfortable. Just a short walk away, we made use of the lake access to enjoy a swim each morning we were there. Visiting in the summer, we didn't have a need for the wood-burning stove or see any of the fall foliage that was to arrive just a few weeks after our stay, but can imagine how beautiful it would be. Polly (one of the owners) was communicative and easy to work with, which made our trip that much more relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Polly Schill

Emily, Karen and Polly are co-owners of this property. Emily's good friend lives right down the street, which is how we found the house! We love this area. It's so wonderful to bring our families to the lake to paddle board, hike and hang out around the fire pit in the evenings, then ski, tube and snowmobile in the winter. Emily and her hubby have 4 kids, Karen and her hubby have 5 kids, and Polly and her hubby also have 5 kids. It's great to have a place to unplug from the busy pace of normal life!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for location, location, location! The Speculator area allows you to truly feel you are on an idyllic mountain/lake escape. Plenty of hiking, boating, fishing, skiing and snowmobiling. Enjoy Speculator Creamery and the Timberline Bakery. Don't forget to stop by the Speculator Dept Store and of course, do all your grocery shopping at Charlie John's, all just about an 8 min drive from the house.

What makes this property unique

It's so convenient to get to our home from Albany, Syracuse, the Finger Lakes or NYC. We are just minutes from the intersection of 8 and 30....near Camp-of-the-Woods. Everyone knows everyone here. Once you come, you'll want to come back every year or more! We sure did.
