The full kitchen leads directly onto the screened-in porch. Kitchen Island from the dining table hand made by our neighbor, a talented woodworker. All the cooking space, utensils, cookware, and everything else you need, right there.
Welcome to the Guest House. Open floor concept plan, everything is located in one bright, loft-like room. Dining table is directly across from the kitchen island.
The Guest House! Located in Wells New York, one block away from Lake Algonquin on the Sacandaga River, in the Adirondack State Park. Two bedrooms with one full bath upstairs, and an open floor plan living area with a porch downstairs.
The shingles of Guest House are an interesting grey that looks blue in some light and brown in another. We love the lemon yellow of the door and the red roof!
Another view through the living room, showing a little more of the kitchen and out onto the spacious porch. Note the pine shiplap painted white. The whole house is like this.

About this property

The Guest House — Bright, Artistic & Pet-Friendly

Welcome to The Guest House — your sparkling-clean retreat just one block from beautiful Lake Algonquin!

With two exceptionally comfortable queen beds, this bright, creative space sleeps 4 comfortably. Antique touches and local artwork give it plenty of Adirondack charm, while modern amenities make your stay easy and relaxing.

We happily welcome up to two well-behaved adult dogs (pet fee applies). Sorry, no cats or puppies.

Spend your days walking the scenic 3½-mile loop around Lake Algonquin, swimming at the town beach, fishing, hiking, or discovering nearby waterfalls. For day trips, you’ll find several stunning lakes within an hour’s drive — including Lake George, Blue Mountain Lake, and Saratoga Springs.

Inside:
The open-plan first floor includes a full kitchen, dining and living areas, and a large flat-screen TV with Netflix — perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors.

Outside:
Relax on the spacious screened porch, fire up the charcoal grill, or kick back in the Adirondack chairs. You’ll be within walking distance of the lake, beach, tennis and basketball courts, an ice-cream parlor, and a handy convenience store.

Things to Note:
• There’s no washer/dryer on-site, but one is available in town.
• For your safety, an exterior camera faces the driveway.
• Guests agree to follow our house instructions and sign a short rental agreement.
