Our favorite place!!!

Trout Lake has been an annual summer trip for us for the last 7 years and this house is our favorite rental by far. The cottage is cozy, but well appointed. We love the extensive waterfront in this beautiful cove and spend most of our time on the pontoon, in kayaks, hanging out on the dock or in the game room, and playing in the beautifully clear water. This year there were brand new kayaks to use and a new paddle board! The pontoon is incredibly easy to use and provides tons of fun out on the lake. While we would love for one of the rooms to have a king bed, we have been comfortable with the queens offered, and the twin allows for an extra visitor or friend to come. We cant wait to book again for next summer. Sarah makes the process incredibly easy and we love staying at her rentals!

PERFECT lake get away

We had an absolute blast at the lakefront cottage. The pictures do not do this place justice, it truly is a slice of heaven. The house was spotless and the location was 10/10. We spent so much time on the dock, on the boat, using the kayak and paddle board, and relaxing in the boat house. S’mores every night around the fire pit- jt was an absolutely perfect vacation for our family. Thank you, we LOVED jt!!

Perfect family time!

We had 5 wonderful days at this beautiful cottage. The house was clean and well stocked. We had plenty of room at the table to share meals with our family. The water was clear and swimming was a great relief in 90 degree weather. We kayaked and used the pontoon boat. Loons greeted us in the bay every morning and evening. We hated to leave this heavenly gem. Thank you Sarah for sharing this lovely cottage with us. We couldn't have asked for a better time!

Wonderful Secluded Lake Getaway

We used this location to gather with some friends from all over. The photos on the listing do not do justice to how beautiful and secluded this space is. The lake had very little traffic on it. We had great success fishing, and lots of fun tooling around in the pontoon boat. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. 100% would book a stay here again. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our time was here.

6 stars 🌟

Beautiful cottage, clean, excellent view. We used the boat every day. It was gassed up and worked fine. There is a wood pile for camp fires. Muliple kyaks, canoes, and a stand up paddleboard. I saw loons on the lake (first time for me) and we heard owls at night. The fridge was clean and empty when we arrived...so you do need to bring any condiments, etc you might need. They do have salt & pepper. They have a kerig and a regular drip coffee pot. Highly recommend staying here...we hope to come back.

Beautiful place deep in nature

We had a great time in this cabin. We enjoyed the boat and kayaks. It was so peaceful and pretty. The beds are comfortable and the house has everything one typically needs. The locals are kind and helpful. Note that stores are far away (25 minutes) so pack thoughtfully and make a grocery list when you go shopping.

Sibling Vacation

We loved our stay at Oak Hill! The cottage was beautiful and the property was more than we could ever ask for. We fished, played games on the dock and took evening rides around the lake on the pontoon boat. We hope to come back for a repeat next year!

Relaxing week away

The property was very nice and had everything we needed. It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved coffee on the dock in the mornings. It was a great reset from everyday life. We would absolutely book this property again. Thanks for the great week!

Great place!

We loved it! It was like pictured and maybe the cleanest house I've ever rented. It was secluded and so peaceful. It was rustic yet had everything you needed. My only critique is that my husband is 6'4 and he had some trouble in the bedrooms near the beds and standing downstairs (except the kitchen). So, just a heads up for the tall folks, you may want to consider this!

Paradise in the Adirondacks

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Hill! It’s Just North of the Adirondack park and is a peaceful and cozy cabin on a private sandy cove. We used the pontoon boat and kayaks to explore the lake with its hidden sandy bays! Our host Sarah was attentive to any need we had! We did not want to leave! We will be back again for sure!

Beautiful setting, great house

Love the dock, beach, pontoon boat, kayaks, and open floor plan. The setting is unusually good. Sarah was very responsive. Just two things to be aware of: if you are tall (say 6'2" or taller) you will be ducking a lot. And there are no real nearby grocery stores. But in our case it was definitely worth it.

Overall, one of our favorite places to have visited in ADK!

Everything was wonderful!!! Clean, comfortable, well equipped...having a pontoon boat was great! Enough room for all of us and the boxer! Nice sized kitchen area and plenty of relaxing space to unwind. The boat house with the Fooseball table was a lot of fun and having lots of firewood provided was definitely a huge plus! Only concern - VERY low ceilings in the main house... my husband is 6'4" - had to walk a bit stooped all week and be extra cautious up/down the stairs to the sleeping areas. We would definitely think of going back!!!

Perfection

This property had it all. Waterfront cottage with a walk in beach canoes, kayaks, pontoon boat and a wonderful dock to soak up the sun. Inside, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen (we love to cook and were so relieved and impressed with how well the cottage was outfitted for us to make our home cooked vacation meals) and even included a beer fridge near the door and small liquor cabinet to keep the clutter to a minimum. The open concept main floor of the cottage is perfect for rainy days, where you can spend time with family inside and not feel crowded. The dock house was magical, fooseball table and board games galore! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better host or property. Thank you for putting so much though and effort into this property and we will definitely be back!

lovely lake front property

My husband and I enjoyed this lovely lake front property with our two dogs. I was able to attend an online work conference in the mornings using the high speed internet, and then explore the lake on the pontoon boat in the afternoons. The little boat house on the dock is a lovely place to sit and read in the early mornings, and the little cove neighborhood was a good place to walk our dogs. Sarah the owner was very responsive to our questions, and helped make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend for a couple or family.
