Loose Moose Lodge: Hot Tub, 4-Season Retreat Near Gore Mountain & Schroon Beach

Welcome to Our Cozy Adirondack Home!

We were just featured in the 'I HEART NY' official tourism site as one of the 'coolest places in NY to stay!' We couldn't be more proud of this honor!

We’re a large, loving family who adores the Adirondacks—and we’re thrilled to share our second home with you! We are so proud of our house, this gorgeous part of the country, and the New York State official tourist agency recognizing us.

Our home is your perfect base camp for adventure and relaxation. Close to Lake George, Lake Placid, and Gore Mountain, you can explore as much as you want and come back to a cozy private retreat. Schroon Lake offers a gorgeous beach with clear lake water, and in the winter it freezes for ice fishing, ice skating at the town gazebo, and snowmobile tours right across the lake, great fishing, amazing hiking trails, and the Natural Stone Bridges and Caves just down the road. Did I mention there is an adorable 9-hole golf course in Schroon? Super close to the house, and it's gorgeous! In the winter, it doubles as a cool place to sled and take the kiddos! As travelers ourselves, we’ve done our best to create a rental that makes your stay as easy, carefree, and comfortable as possible.

Your Adirondack Getaway

Our house is thoughtfully equipped for families and groups. Enjoy:

. A fully stocked kitchen and main living area with air conditioning for warmer days (though it’s rarely needed in the mountains).
. All bedrooms with box fans and blackout curtains for peaceful, cool sleep.
. New, clean bedding, pillows, and blankets throughout.
. A gas grill and a wraparound front deck with seating—perfect for coffee or outdoor dining.
. A private back deck with comfortable seating for relaxing or stargazing.
. A playroom with ping pong, pool, and games.
. Two living rooms for spreading out.
. Smart TVs in every room, excellent Wi-Fi, and Sling TV.
. A 4-season hot tub, fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and plenty of free firewood.
All-Season Fun

Summer: Bicycles, a kayak, fishing poles, beach chairs, and a beach cart. The Schroon town beach is less than 1.5 miles away, and parking is free!

Winter: Sleds for the kids and that cozy hot tub after a snowy day. Our house is located on the Adirondack Snowmobile trail, and you can ride your snowmobiles (or rent from C&C rentals in town) from our driveway right onto the trail for hundreds of miles!

New mini cabin: A charming hideaway with a full bed, twin mattress, heat, electricity, and a smart TV.

We’ve tried to think of everything to make your stay easy, fun, and memorable. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Perfect spot for a family vacation!

The loose moose lodge was the ideal location for our family getaway! With 7 adults and 5 kids, there was plenty of room for everyone. The location couldn’t have been better with less than a 5 minute drive from Schroon village and the public beach and within 30 minutes to many other local amenities, including Lake George. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Best Family Getaway Yet!

What an unbelievable weekend we had at Loose Moose Lodge. The house itself was absolutely beautiful and the surrounding foliage truly made you feel deep into the woods. We enjoyed mornings on the front deck listening to the birds chirp and evenings back by the fire pit surrounded by stars. So much to do in the surrounding area such as swimming in Schroon Lake and scaling the top of Severance Mountain along with a quite little town full of souvenirs. I would highly recommend this home for any family that is looking to disconnect and enjoy a few days together. Mary Jane the owner was so responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We will absolutely be back!

Amazing Place!

This house is all as described and more! The rooms were clean and spacious and the kitchen allowed us to cook big meals. There are TV’s in every room and a nice game room. The porch was a great feature as we had a couple of days of rain but the porch allowed us to be outside regardless. The fire pit was a great place to relax in the evening with a fire and there was plenty of firewood. The hot tub was a great way to relax as well. The area around the house was quiet with plenty of nature…Schroon lake was a short drive away with small shops and a few restaurants. Also great for fishing a I caught a 3-pound large mouth bass. A very quaint and quiet town. This house is well located with easy access to the highway. Overall our whole family enjoyed the week we spent there and truly loved this outstanding home. The owner, Mary Jane, was always available when we had questions and was a great host! She made our stay even more enjoyable.

Family Time!

We had a nice 10-day vacation staying here. Everyone really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night (with plenty of wood) and using the hot tub. The kitchen/dining area was plenty big for our group (10) where we ate most of our meals, played games, and just enjoyed being together. Schroon Lake was a short drive away and great for the kids. The mosquitoes were definitely an annoyance and we've never seen them in swarms like that. Don't know if that is normal in the Adirondacks in the summer or if it was due to the high amount of rain this year. One last comment: communicating with the owner was fantastic. She was fantastic and immediately responded to every question I had. She even gave us an update from the power company when the electricity went out during a storm and told us which restaurants were open (or closed) during the outage!

Tornado induced power outage added adventure to the week

Loose Moose Lodge was in the middle of a power outage that lasted an additional 36 hours after our arrival. Mary Jane had contacted us about the situation before our arrival. Lanterns were easily accessed. The cleaning crew did an exemplary job, making beds and preparing the facility with no electricity. We were a party of 13 ranging in age from 4 years to 70+. . The many bedrooms suited our family perfectly! The woods provide privacy, yet we’re close to Schroon Lake’s excellent swimming beach and shopping area. Seagle Music Festival is just a few miles up Charley Hill Rd where you can enjoy musicals and opera productions. The information book at the lodge helped us find activités such as Lumberjack mini-golf. We also went on several hikes. The hot tub, old fashioned video games, ping-pong, pool table, corn hole, badminton, darts, board games and the fire circle were enjoyed by all. Beds were comfortable; toiletries and towels for showers and the beach were plentiful. There’s also a large washer and dryer! Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Every year we all get together for a family weekend visit in Schroon Lake. This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is perfect for our fairly large group, and has plenty of space for all of us. The teenagers love the hot tub and also love the pool table and Pac-Man! The family room/dining/kitchen is large enough for everyone to hang out, and the south facing deck is a great spot for hanging out in the sun. We love that it is close to town and the lake, but it is also in the woods and very secluded - you can't even see a neighbor. Hopefully we will stay here again next year! The host was very accommodating and got back to me quickly when I had a small problem with the dishwasher. Great place!

This rating should go to ELEVEN! The house has everything you need for an amazing time in the Adirondacks. After a day hiking we enjoyed the full moon and stars around the fire pit, then jumped in the hot tub. No one turned on a TV all weekend (even though there's one in every room if you're tempted). Everything you need to throw a gourmet meal together, or grab a juicy burger in downtown Schroon 5 minutes away. Host Mary Jane was a great resource and knows the area and the cool local places. Best VRBO we've ever rented, excellent on every level.

Great location. Close to the lake but far enough away from crowds and noise. We spent most of our time hiking and exploring the Adirondack area. The hot tub was a nice way to cap off a day of hiking. We made great use of the outdoor grill and relaxed around the fire pit after. I highly recommend a vacation in Lake Schroon!

Great house close to town

Every year we visit Schroon Lake in October to gather with several of my family members. This house is a great location, close to town, and nicely secluded with lots of trees. It has a large open floor plan, good sized kitchen, and wrap around deck so everyone can spread out. The hot tub was great to relax in, and the fire pit had plenty of chairs for everyone to sit around the fire and make smores! Firewood was provided which was really great. The kids loved the game room. Mattresses and bedding were very comfortable. The carpet on the stairs didn't look freshly cleaned, so I gave cleanliness a 4, but overall this is a really great house!

Great house, great location, great host

If you're looking for a place that is secluded but also close to a quaint town that has everything, this is the place for you. We stayed with six people, but the house could have easily fit double that it was the best place for a relaxing get away. Highlights for us were the quiet surroundings, the game room for the kids, the hot tub for mom, the hike down the road to Horseshoe Pond (where we found an actual horseshoe!) and the 3 minute drive into town to use the beach, go to restaurants, the food store, and even catch a movie in the old movie theater. Truly awesome place!

Great Time at the Loose Moose!

Our family sincerely enjoyed our stay at the Loose Moose! We had thirteen people (ages: 5,8,9,12,14,15,17, 44,45,48,49,73, and 74). There was plenty of space and plenty of fun for everyone! We downhill skied at Gore for two days and cross-country skied at Van Hoevenberg one day. We skated, bowled, and hiked! We had great family time at the house! We played board games, billiards, ping-pong, and had a campfire in the backyard! My Dad earned the top Pac-Man score with over 20,000 points, shattering the old record (see if you can top it on the classic standup arcade console in the game room)! The hot tub, couches, chairs, and tables were perfect! The moose and antler decor was well-selected and very creative! This house was excellent for relaxation, fun, and family time! We have stayed in about ten other great Vrbo houses around the country and the Loose Moose is 5 stars for sure!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our little secret: Schroon Lake, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Adirondack State Park. This quaint town offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to incredible nearby attractions. Whether you're here for relaxation or adventure, Schroon Lake is the perfect starting point.

The town's scenic beauty is matched by its convenience. In just 30 minutes, you can be in the lively town of Lake George, or in under an hour, experience the Olympic charm of Lake Placid. For the more adventurous, take a scenic drive and cross the border into the charming streets of Montreal, Canada, all in under two hours!

Schroon Lake itself is a picturesque escape. Spend your days enjoying our stunning sandy town beach with free parking. The beach is never overcrowded, and the swimming area is roped off from boats, ensuring a safe and relaxing dip in the crystal-clear waters. For even more fun, rent a pontoon boat from the Schroon Lake Marina and take the family tubing, or simply cruise the lake and fish. In winter, you can rent snowmobiles for an unforgettable ride across the frozen lake—a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Dining in Schroon is a treat too. Enjoy top-notch meals at local favorites like Sticks and Stone and Trail’s End, or venture out to nearby towns for more options. And if you're looking to explore, the Adirondacks offer endless beauty along the way. Take a drive to Lake George or Lake Placid and enjoy breathtaking waterfalls, rolling rivers, and the chance to spot wildlife. Along the way, you'll find scenic hiking trails perfect for a leisurely stop, or consider a fun day on the Adirondack Railway—yes, you can ride four-person bicycles along old train tracks through the mountains!

The Adirondacks shine in all four seasons, each offering something special.
