About this property

Lakewood Haven -a newly renovated Adirondack cottage.

An Adirondack getaway on a quiet lake in a sleepy town called Wells, NY. A recently renovated cottage fully equipped to meet all of your needs. A screened porch entrance leads into the great room overlooking Lake Algonquin. The great room contains a new fully equipped kitchen and unique Adirondack furnishings including a 42 inch flat screen TV and a DVD player. There is an electric fireplace for those cool evenings and a propane wall unit to keep you warm on those cold winter nights.
There is a private deck off of the great room and bedroom. The bedroom has a queen size bed and cots are also available for use in the great room along with a queen size sofa bed. The Screened porch & deck are perfect for cozy dinners or bird watching at breakfast. Enjoy a campfire and make smore's in your outdoor fire pit.
Located about 30 minutes away from Gore Mountain, and only 15 minutes from Oak Mountain, you can enjoy a day of skiing, snowboarding, and tubing and still return to your cozy lakefront cabin in the evening. Multiple trails are available for cross country skiing, and Lapland is just a short distance away.
With so much to see and do, you will no doubt want to return year after year.

Tom and Cookie are excellent hosts. The cabin was immaculate and had what we needed in terms of amenities. The location is on the lake just as it is pictured. It is quiet and restful. One of the best places we have stayed in Wells.

My wife and I came up as a 29th anniversary relaxation trip. We were overwhelmed by the gorgeous and well-appointed cottage, and the owners Tom and Cookie are right next door. They were so helpful and accommodating in every way, but also unobtrusive. We just loved the setup, decor and we are already planning our return trip to stay here again. Cheers, to the lovely peaceful community of Wells!

Hi, Everything about the cottage and property was beautiful and relaxing. Tom and Cookie were the most gracious and helpful hosts and really provided everything we needed! The cabin was spotlessly clean and decorated gorgeously (we especially loved the duck theme!) The lake was quiet and the water was so clean and enjoyable. We are looking forward to coming back!
