This home was perfect for our family weekend. Fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding in the pond was so fun. Lots of outside fun and the stars at night were beautiful. The interior of the house was perfect for all and we enjoyed the ping pong table. Lots of art to look at and enjoy. 10 of us ranging from toddlers to seniors. Bedrooms on all levels which have every family their own “space”. The kitchen was well stocked. We lost power for a few hours (due to a tree taking out a line) and the hosts were very on top of it and communicated well with us. Lots of wood for indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Books and games on site that were enjoyed. Thank you Adam and team for sharing this beautiful property. Definitely would consider a trip back at some point.

Maryann, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that your whole family enjoyed the house and all the outdoor activities. It’s especially nice to hear that you appreciated the art, books, and games. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We enjoyed the property which was well maintained. The house was well organized, nicely furnished, and comfortable. It was chilly while we were there so we did not spend a lot of time around the lake, but we enjoyed the big fireplaces and the view of the lake from inside.
The house is as beautiful as pictured—tons of space to spread out and enjoy the gorgeous views. The host was kind and easy to work with. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
This was our 6th trip to Spruce Lake and we can't wait to go back in 2024. The property is perfectly equipped for all weather conditions plus a big kitchen great for cooking for a crowd. It's a really special place.
It was exactly what we wanted. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the private location. We brought our Saint Bernard with us and she had so much fun, being able to run the big property.
The property was beautiful, lake was perfect temp and the house was very spacious! Only minor issue was the abundance of geese poop, but you can’t control that. Will definitely be back and thanks again Adam for having us.

Thanks John! You were actually quite lucky to see geese raising their goslings on the lake. They only come every few years, and leave as soon as their young are able to fly, usually in early July.
For anyone who's concerned about an "abundance of geese poop" rest assured that it is only one family at a time, and they don't stay very long. But it's delightful watching them swim and feed!
This place is exactly as advertized and definitely worth coming back to. The large rustic style house is perfect for a large family vacation or an extended social gathering with plenty of room and everything you need. The property itself is gorgeous! Thoroughly enjoyed living at this secluded property away from your normal crowded workaday schedule.
The house and setting could not have been more perfect. Enough space for everyone to be able to spread out and perfect spaces for everyone to gather together and is so picturesque. You could just spend your day staring at the lake
Spruce Luke Farm has become our annual family reunion spot! The house is big with space for everyone. It is perfectly situated on a beautiful private piece of land with a big deck right beside the lake with beautiful views. Wonderful place to get away and reconnect with family! Adam has been great to deal with and Heinz, the home caretaker, is also very helpful.
The stay was wonderful. The house was great to accomodate our group of 10 adults and 2 kids. The property is gorgeous and the living spaces were perfect for fires and playing games.
We had a few hiccups, including the heat not working in the basement master bedroom. Additionally, we were unable to contact the property manager, despite attempting calls and texts to the three listed numbers.

Alyssa, I'm so sorry you weren't able to reach me, Dan or Amy. It was right before the election and we, like so many people, were getting so many calls from unknown numbers. I don't think any of us received a text, but regardless, this shouldn't be an issue in the future!
This is a gem! Beautiful serene surroundings with a gorgeous home ! The rooms were exactly as described, the kitchen has everything you need, we were greeted by the lovely groundskeeper (Heinz) upon arrival who shared some quaint details about the property! We had 13 people with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy! We will be back!
What a find! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Spruce Lake. It was beyond amazing- private property and lake with crystal clear water, meant kayaking and paddle boarding, and fishing, too. We grilled most every dinner and celebrated a family member’s birthday! Ping Pong and foosball were enjoyed by many! Each night was capped off by a roaring fire in the fire pit. Took advantage of location to go hiking and birdwatching. Being away from city lights allowed us to see the Milky Way and marvel at the wonders of our universe. Sad to pack up and leave. Can’t wait to return. Thank you, Adam.
We've been trying to rent this property for several years for our annual hiking trip, this is our 20th year.. We finally got it, and the group was not disappointed. The place was secluded, but towns are close enough to make a short trek if we needed something. Everything is well noted in the home, and everything was provided. We had hoped to capture the peak foliage at this beautiful setting, but it was past its peak. Adam was very responsive and helpful. We usually do not stay at the same location, but we may at some point in the future as the group really loved the setting.
This was absolutely one of the best experiences I've ever had with a rental property. Adam was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He mades things seamless and easy. I wanted to take my family away for a quick winter getaway and finally pulled the trigger on this beautiful property! It was like a winter wonderland. It actually ended up snowing when we were there and we just fell in love with the entire experience. Thank you for a memorable and phenomenal winter getaway! We will cherish the memories we made there!
We loved staying here. It was an absolute winter wonderland, and our group is yearning to book sometime in the summer so we can experience both seasons at this luxurious farmhouse. Adam was quick to reply, and answered all my questions. The property itself was huge, the house clean, full of art and books, plenty of space for children and couples to spread out, beds were comfortable. The sixth bedroom is adorable, but not as spacious as the others so I would only plan on putting children or a single small adult in there. The toddlers we had in our crew loved playing in it. The big lux living room was our favorite room to be in, but as no tv so we brought a projector and screen and it worked out nicely. Would stay again 100%.
The property is absolutely perfect for a NY state get away. The house itself is Beautifully amd well designed, to entertain guests at an upscale level. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. As well as plenty of room to hang out, for instance the friday night we were there it poured but we had no problem because we sat in the beautiful grand living room and watched a divine thunderstorm light up the sky and forest, epic! The giant yard with lush grass lawn leading down to the lake is perfect to play games and enjoy with the family (football, baseball, cornhole, etc). And finally the 6acre pond is a absolutely perfect place to teach a kid to fish or swim and enjoy. Not to mention hiking around the propety itself is a great experience too! Adam the owner was very nice and very easy to get in touch with! I will definitely be looking to rent this property again!

House needs attention
This property has a lot of great reviews but we were disappointed with our stay. The house needed a good scrubbing as many floors and surfaces were sticky. It was also very hot on the main floor without enough screens in the doors and windows and a few doors taped shut for some reason. The house has terrible air flow and no AC. There were also a few maintenance issues such as a broken back door which needed to be replaced and many large potholes in the driveway. We brought up some other issues with the owner and he was responsive and helpful .The place has a lot of potential but overall it needs some work to be a 10 out of 10.

Hi Eileen, thank you so much for your honest feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t what you’d hoped for. That’s never the experience I want guests to have, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share what could have been better.
Amy and Tracey strive to clean the house as well as they can between stays. It may be that they fell short this time, but their usual standard is very high.
The storm door to the front deck actually isn't broken - I took off the spring mechanism so small children wouldn't get injured. I did need to tape off one sliding glass door because a guest's dog ran through the screen just before you arrived, but the air flow is normally quite good. That said, we indeed do not have AC so August may not be the best time for those who are especially sensitive to the heat (up to mid-80s during the day, but always cooling down to the low 70s at night). And just to let everyone know - in the fall we were able to completely regrade our driveway!
I do appreciate that you reached out during your stay and gave me the opportunity to help where I could. It means a lot that you saw the potential in the home, and I hope you’ll consider visiting again in the future so we can give you the five-star experience you deserve!
