About this property

Palmer Point - The Palmer House

Welcome to The Palmer House, a historic waterfront Adirondack vacation rental located at Palmer Point on beautiful Fourth Lake in Inlet, NY. Rich in Adirondack character and perfectly positioned just steps from the shoreline, this spacious lakefront lodge offers breathtaking views of the Fulton Chain of Lakes, making it the perfect destination for family vacations, fishing trips, reunions, and year-round Adirondack adventures.

One of the property's most remarkable features is its location right at the water's edge, providing spectacular morning sun, peaceful afternoons, and panoramic views across Fourth Lake. Relax on the screened-in front porch where you'll feel as though you're sitting on a boat, or gather around the outdoor fire pit to enjoy unforgettable Adirondack evenings beneath the stars.

Inside, the spacious great room showcases the home's original stone wood-burning fireplace, comfortable seating, large picture windows overlooking the lake, and a Smart TV, creating a warm and inviting gathering space throughout every season. The newly updated, fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals effortless, while the lakeside dining room provides beautiful water views for every meal.

The first floor features two guest bedrooms, each with a queen bed, along with a full bathroom. Upstairs, guests will find three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom. Sleeping accommodations include one bedroom with a double bed, one bedroom with two twin beds, and one bedroom with a double futon, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests.

Outside, guests enjoy a private sandy beach, ideal for swimming, launching kayaks, or simply relaxing by the water. Fourth Lake provides endless opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and exploring the entire Fulton Chain of Lakes. Spend your days cruising to waterfront restaurants, scenic islands, and nearby marinas before returning to your own peaceful Adirondack retreat.

Conveniently located just seven miles from both Old Forge and Inlet, The Palmer House offers easy access to local restaurants, unique shops, hiking trails, golf courses, boat rentals, Enchanted Forest Water Safari, and countless outdoor attractions. Autumn brings spectacular Adirondack foliage, while spring and summer offer endless opportunities to enjoy the region's lakes and mountains.

During winter, the Adirondacks become one of the Northeast's premier snowmobile destinations. With more than 500 miles of groomed snowmobile trails nearby, along with downhill skiing at McCauley Mountain, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing, The Palmer House provides an exceptional home base for winter recreation.

Whether you're planning a classic summer lake vacation, a relaxing fall escape, or an unforgettable winter adventure, The Palmer House delivers timeless Adirondack charm, spectacular waterfront views, and an unbeatable Fourth Lake location.

Girls weekend 2023

We hosted our annual family girls weekend at Palmer House after Labor Day weekend. The house was large enough for all of us, and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the screened in porch and loved the fact that the lake was only a few steps away. We already booked again for next year.

Wow!!

This was a great experience. The eight of us enjoyed the Palmer Point House. The reality was better than the pictures, and the pictures were wonderful. Everyone commented that the place was beyond their expectations and they would want to go back. We rented the boats form next door and that too was a great experience. Very glad we found this palce and rented it.

We really enjoyed our stay but wished the fire pit Eason our property and not a community one .

Some updates need to be done, bathroom toilet downstairs took a while to fill up and the electrical in the living area could use an update.

Perfect Weekend

The property, home, staff, and owner were all very nice! The weather was perfect for "peak" foliage viewing from the property, boat, and trails. We look forward to returning:)

Palmer House

We’ve been coming to ADK for a fall weekend for the past 30 years. This was our first time renting Palmer House. It was exactly as pictured, plenty of room/very spacious for the 4 of us to each have our own spot. Right on Fourth Lake . Cozy enough to curl up with a good book on a rainy day & not feel as though we were “on top” of each other .
