About this property

Classic Dryland ADK Boathouse On The Shore Of Long Lake!

A beautifully situated cabin with panoramic views of Long Lake and the surrounding mountains. Our seasonal retreat is built in the authentic Adirondack boathouse camp style from 1917 typical of Long Lake, and has been converted with all modern amenities required for a relaxing authentic getaway in the mountains and all that encapsulates the essence of boathouse living in this historic structure. The dryland Boathouse, built to accompany Camp Kee-oh-Nekh, sits feet from the water and housed boats during the winter months with an upstairs billiards and game room through the 1990s.

While maintaining its unique Adirondack charm, the Boathouse boasts a modern kitchen, four bedrooms that sleep eight, 1.5 baths, a spacious open floor-plan living space, 100 feet of waterfront, and a dock with deep water boat access. First-floor heating and air-conditioning are supplemented by a wood stove, which keeps the cabin cozy during cool spring and fall days but bring along extra layers for those cool mornings in the mountains for this 3 season's cabin! The beautiful natural setting is a great asset with a long and winding unpaved drive past beautiful forestland to our lakefront cabin. You will want to drive more slowly than you think to take in the beauty! The natural stone-step path brings you down the hill from the parking area to the Boathouse and water’s edge. The indoors seamlessly meets with the outdoors at the Boathouse, whether you’re relaxing in the sun at our small sandy beach, drinking your morning coffee on the deck as the mist clears over the water, or opening the doors to listen to boats on the lake and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

Pulling yourself away from the Boathouse can be difficult, but plenty of amenities await your exploration in the Central Adirondacks. The famous Adirondack Experience in Blue Mtn. Lake, the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, hiking up Coney Mountain, Owls Head Mountain, or Castle Rock are all great options nearby.

Oh and don't forget to enjoy lakeside campfires on the beach with the portable fire pit or in the rustic fireplace on the hill! Also, take out the included kayak or canoe for a sunrise or sunset paddle!

If you’re looking for rustic charm with laidback Adirondack comfort by the water, the Boathouse is just the place!

Positively lovely cottage. Perfectly appointed, very well-stocked, CLEAN and all of that was topped off by a spectacular waterfront surrounded by a wooded lot. We have stayed at numerous VRBOs over the years and this was definitely the cleanest and coziest to date. All the charm of an older camp with the added perk of being very well maintained. Highly recommend.

Very nice place and comfortable layout with well done bedrooms upstairs. We enjoyed our week Care and the host were very easy to work with as well. Very comfortable beds and a nice view as well. The only thing I’d say is for seniors with mobility issues, walking down the stone steps from the parking spot might be a challenge for some. I can’t think of any negatives and I’d recommend booking!

Wonderful getaway

My family and I had an excellent week at the Boathouse. The kids loved the private sandy beach. You really can’t beat the view from the front deck . We took advantage of the canoe and kayak that were provided to explore the beautiful lake.

Great stay at Long Lake

We had a very enjoyable week at this quintessential ADK lakefront cabin. The location was great - nestled in the woods and right on the water, yet within minutes of downtown Long Lake. Our family enjoyed having two ways to enter the water from the property - wading in from the sandy beach and being able to jump in from the deep water dock. Highly recommended!

We LOVE the Long Lake Boathouse. Don and Liza are wonderful hosts and the house offers an authentic Adirondack experience. The views from the porch and dock are breathtaking, the beach and dock are great for swimming, and the fishing is outstanding. Additionally, it is very close to the town of Long Lake and all of the activities within. We highly recommend this listing. Thank you, Don and Liza, for having us, and we look forward to returning next year!

Amazing Adirondack Experience!

This is our second year staying at the Boathouse, and we absolutely love it. The house offers an excellent Adirondack experience with spectacular lake views from the porch and dock. The beach is great for little ones, the fishing is terrific, and the lake is perfect for canoe/kayak rides. Liza and Don are very attentive and available.

The BEST!

We LOVE the Long Lake Boat House! The house is beautifully situated with excellent views of the lake. We had so much fun swimming, paddling, and fishing. The house is also close to town, so there are many activities (hikes, museums, day trips). Don and Liza are terrific hosts. We are already counting the days until next summer!

Family of 5 just spent a wonderful week at the Boathouse camp. Camp was clean, comfortable, and kitchen had everything you need. Plenty of space for everyone. Nice spot for swimming from the dock and kayaking. Close to town for any supplies. Easy communication with owners. Would highly recommend.

Nice, rustic feel place on the lake

We enjoyed our time at this cabin/boathouse. Liza was extremely communicative and helpful! The place was just as described and fit our needs and wants very well. Long Lake is absolutely beautiful and we particularly enjoyed renting a pontoon boat from Long Lake Marina for a couple of days so we could completely explore the lake! Again, we were so thankful for Liza’s replies to our texts as needed.

We were very comfortable this week at the boat house. As on previous stays , the house had all we needed for enjoying cooking, resting on the porch , swimming from the sandy area in front of the house and sitting on the boat deck. During this visit we used our small telescope to see Saturn and observe the stars and Milky Way from the sandy beach . The owners are always considerate of their renters and readily available. .Lovely vacation!!

Camp on the hill

Nice property, great views of the lake photos were alittle misleadingly for the stone steps thought there might have been five steps turned out there are 45 steps and difficult to carry the coolers down. But once your in the cabin it is very nice, nicely stocked kitchen and enough room for all

Thanks for the feedback, Cathy! Sorry, the photos showing the natural path and stone steps from the parking area down the hill to the waterfront boathouse were misleading for you. We will have a look at improving those images! Liza

Beautiful, clean, well stocked and such a great view. Steps from parking space to boathouse are true stone steps. Lots of them and can get slick when raining. Not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. Bringing small bags is smart.
