Imagine waking up and viewing the stunning sunrise over the water. The colors dance across the sky, reflecting on the calm surface of the lake, creating a picturesque scene that takes your breath away.
As you settle into the cozy and private atmosphere of the house, you feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over you. The only sounds you hear are the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore and the occasional call of a loon in the distance.
You decide to take advantage of the kayaks and head out onto the water, gliding effortlessly along the shoreline as you take in the beauty of your surroundings. The cool water splashes against your paddle, providing a refreshing sensation under the warm evening sun.
After your kayaking adventure, you take a dip in the crystal-clear lake, feeling the stress and worries of everyday life melt away with each stroke. The water is cool and refreshing, the perfect way to unwind and relax after a long day.
Before you retire for the night, you take a moment to savor the peace and tranquility, knowing that you will wake up refreshed and rejuvenated in the morning. And with Saratoga Springs just a short drive away, you have the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure at your fingertips. A couple things to note, the stairs in the camp going upstairs are small and a bit steep. If you have mobility issues, you may have issues. Also this area is known for its mineral water. The water in the cabin is filtered, however, the hot water can still give off a sulfur odor, keep this in mind before booking here.

The cottage is exactly as described. Having the kayaks available was great. Beds were comfortable, that’s always a concern. Nice bedding. There were little treats for us and coffee which we forgot to bring. The host was very quick to respond and there is a book with local ideas of things to do. It was perfect for the four of us and we would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at Sean’s lake cottage. It was a good location for us visiting family in Saratoga. It reminded me of grandma’s cottage, charming, cozy. We’ve experienced the sulpher water before , no big deal. It had everything thing we needed for a short stay. Sean was very helpful, and went out of his way to accommodate our plans.
It was a very rustic, vintage cottage but comfortable. I have a part-time retirement job at a very large antique shop in my hometown so I could appreciate his joy of collecting antiques. The water did have a very distinctive smell, but the water pressure was sufficient. We wish we could have enjoyed being on the lake more, but the weather didn't permit, it was very rainy and miserable. We appreciated him letting us check in a little bit early.
The location was idyllic and such a cozy private neighborhood. Comfortable accommodations and nice bonus details like the record player made it a fun stay. Would like to come back again for a long stay and take more advantage of the lakeside amenities.
Wish we could have stayed longer at this sweet cabin by the lake! It was so cozy on a cool October night. We were 3 generations of women - grandmother, mother and daughter and we each found things we loved here. The sunrises, they comfy beds and the charming details like the quirky stairs and the antiques.
Lovely home, well decorated and clean. Owner provided snacks that were very appreciated. Arriving and leaving was simple, and it had a good view of the lake.
Charming but rustic amazingly well stocked homey cabin. Excellent location. But if you are looking for super modern elegance, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate unique accommodations, you will love it.
Sean was great! Made sure we knew everything we needed to know before and during our stay and that we had everything we needed. The house is a typical cozy lake cottage, simple but suited us fine.

I’m pleased that you were happy with my service, and the cottage! Thank you.
Staying here brought back all of my childhood memories of cottage we used to visit every summer. I loved the eclectic decor and appreciated the modern amenities (TV in each bedroom). We especially enjoyed the kayaks.
Had a great stay, wish the lake was right on the back yard, it's across the road but still very close. Thoughtful host, the cheese and crackers was a nice surprise and a great late night snack. Sunrise over the lake was excellent and the view of the lake from the living room is very peaceful. Great vibes at this place
