The granite steps lead down to the private dock where we supply kayaks or a canoe to explore the lake. Additionally We are dog lovers! There is a nicely fenced in area for your pooch to frolic and play! This is a four season home. The summers are spectacular but so is the Fall foliage season and we especially Love Winter! We enjoy to cross country ski and snowshoe from here. We are adjacent to the NYS snowmobile trail system. Gore Mnt ski center is a 40min direct drive and Oak Mnt Ski Center is 15 minutes north in Speculator. We also love to cross country ski and snowshoe here or go to Lap Land Lake 20 minutes south in Benson. After a long day of activities there is a gas wood stove to relax by

We had a lovely stay at this property. Excellent location, super friendly hosts, well appointed house. Great way to spend some quality time with the family. My 11 & 13 yr old children loved the kayaks! Lots of great options for entertainment - games/puzzles/corn hole. We'll definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Adirondacks getaway

Our family of 4 pup had a fantastic stay at Deb and Mark’s house - being directly on the lake is perfect for little kids, the location is very convenient to the town (walking distance to store, beach, coffee shop), the house has everything we needed for a longer stay, and our dog had plenty of room to run and swim. We particularly appreciated the screened in porch and the kayaks! Deb and Mark were wonderful hosts and very responsive to every question and need. We are already planning our return!

From the moment we walked in the place felt warm and welcoming. The little attention to detail was commendable. The decorations were obviously changed for the seasons and not static year round. The house was extremely clean and everything was easy to use. The dog area outside was perfect for our pup. And, the view was beautiful. The lake was frozen with a fresh coating of powdery snow on top. Check-in/out was simple and communication with Debbie was quick and responsive. Also, being there in the winter, Mark came by twice to be sure the driveways were plowed and snow was removed from the stoop. You can tell that they are indeed “dog people” as there were little adornments alluding to as much (plus they had food and water bowls in the cupboard - luckily, because we forgot ours).We liked our stay so much that we booked again for a summer trip - see what the warm weather is like. The cold weather was great, and beautiful. But, something tells us that the sun on the water will be amazing! Definitely worth the stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Debby Hodgkins

Host profile image

We live on lake Algonquin too! Our home is at the other end of the Lake just 1 1/2 mile away, so if there are any questions or problems we are here to help!
Mark is an avid water skiier! There is a AWSA demensioned slalom course at the south end of the lake!

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed this lake for over 20yrs and decided to invest in this wonderful property when it became available because of the quality of the building and setting.

What makes this property unique

We love lake Algonquin because of the mountain views and the experience of the quaint town. It is not commercialized like other lakes in the Adirondacks. The lake is calm and easy to kayak and canoe on. There are beautiful eagles flying over head and tiny humming birds at the feeders. It is close enough to attractions for day trips but we can also come back to the peace and tranquility we love! The building is well done with wood floors and great windows, the bathrooms and kitchen are clean and up to date. We even have central air and a backup generator so you are always comfortable and at ease.
