About this property

The Maples is a charming, historic lakeside home on the west shore of Schroon Lake, in the stunning Adirondack Mountains, with over six million acres of lakes, streams and forested wilderness.

The house features wide lawns with exquisite lake and mountain views, Adirondack chairs, and perennial gardens. A large dine-in porch, overlooking the lake, furnished in white wicker, is everyone’s favorite. A spacious contemporary kitchen, comfortable living room with piano and fireplace adjoins the beautiful dining room.

The house sleeps seven, in four bedrooms, with two and a half baths, and laundry.

Across the lawn are stairs down to the dock, with a small boat for renter use, and room for water craft, your own or rented from the marina.

A fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and grill, provide gathering fun.

The village of Schroon Lake is a convenient short walk away, with grocery, shops, restaurants, picturesque town golf course, excellently maintained tennis tennis courts, a new town library with children's programs, the Town Hall, and Hudson Headwaters Health Network Health Center. Nearby are the town golf course, famed Seagle Festival music program, hiking trails, nearby mountains to climb, waterways, and access to many attractions, from Lake George to Lake Placid, the High Peaks, historic Ticonderoga, the Adirondack Experience at the Adirondack Museum, the Wild Center, the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, and far more.

Small Lake Gem

Spacious well-appointed house with broad lawns and westerly views of lake and distant hills from a fully furnished screened-in porch. The house is well-stocked with everything a traveler might need. Hosts welcomed us with fresh flower arrangements and breakfast of fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and local coffee! The little aluminium boat even got us out on the lake! Minor drawbacks: Rte. 9 noise and poor swimming off the dock. But a 5 minute walk to the town beach (perfect for young kids!) made up for that. Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Shames Korn

Phyllis Shames first came to the Adirondacks as a young camper at nearby Camp Woodmere in 1944. Her parents, Frank and Dorothy Shames stayed nearby to visit, fell love with Schroon Lake, and bought The Maples the following year. The family has enjoyed this lakeside home ever since.
Phyllis brought fiance Marty to visit in 1955, and he too fell under the thrall of the Adirondacks. They remain avid hikers, climbers and sailors to this day, and now live "up the hill" from Spring until Fall, with adventurous visits from children, grandchildren and friends.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful, historic, lakeside with dock, views, peaceful, convenient to town and surrounding attractions, wide screened idyllic dine-in porch with views of lake and mountains.
