The kitchen is fully equipped with a refridgerator,dishwasher,microwave, stove and coffee maker, dishware and cookware. There's an attractive screened in porch, as well as an outside deck to set and relax,read a good book, or take a soothing nap.Nice fire pit outside! The granite steps lead down to the private dock where we supply kayaks or a canoe to explore the lake. Additionally We are dog lovers! There is a nicely fenced in area for your pooch to frolic and play! This is a four season home. The summers are spectacular but so is the Fall foliage season and we especially Love Winter! We enjoy to cross country ski and snowshoe from here. We are adjacent to the NYS snowmobile trail system. Gore Mnt ski center is a 40min direct drive and Oak Mnt Ski Center is 15 minutes north in Speculator. We also love to cross country ski and snowshoe here or go to Lap Land Lake 20 minutes south in Benson. After a long day of activities there is a gas wood stove to relax by
We also have a full coverage generator so you never have to worry about any power outages in the ADK

Wonderful place, caring owners

This was my second stay here and I still love it. The fall colors were at their peak and that was so beautiful! And a bald eagle flew in and posed in a pine tree one evening. Amazing! There is a very good supply of things that are lacking at other places - toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, ice and even night lights. The furniture is comfortable and the overall lighting is good. I especially liked the fenced area for my dog. I really appreciated that the dock was still in place in October. Debby even texted me to see if I arrived safely and to check if everything was OK. I would definitely like to return.

Wonderfully Relaxing & Beautiful Location

Our second time to this property was just as perfect as the first. We had everything we could need and the home was very clean. The views from the property are just amazing! Our dogs absolutely love this property and the fenced in yard for them is super convenient. There is so much to do in the area, but having the kayaks there for the lake gave us such a peaceful paddle in the early morning hours. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area. Mark and Debby are great hosts. Very good communication, very helpful, And willing to go the extra mile if needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us again this year.

Perfect lake house

The house and location are even better than the pictures. The hosts are so welcoming and helpful. It was the perfect get away with our pooch. The fenced area is so convenient. The house itself is so cozy and has everything you could possibly need and lots of extras. We’re hoping to go back in the summer and really enjoy the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Debby Hodgkins

Host profile image
We live on lake Algonquin too! Our home is at the other end of the Lake just 1 1/2 mile away, so if there are any questions or problems we are here to help!
Mark is an avid water skiier! There is a AWSA demensioned slalom course at the south end of the lake!

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed this lake for over 20yrs and decided to invest in this wonderful property when it became available because of the quality of the building and setting.

What makes this property unique

We love lake Algonquin because of the mountain views and the experience of the quaint town. It is not commercialized like other lakes in the Adirondacks. The lake is calm and easy to kayak and canoe on. There are beautiful eagles flying over head and tiny humming birds at the feeders. It is close enough to attractions for day trips but we can also come back to the peace and tranquility we love! The building is well done with wood floors and great windows, the bathrooms and kitchen are clean and up to date. We even have central air and a backup generator so you are always comfortable and at ease.
