A peaceful getaway!

This is definitely a favorite! Very peaceful and has all the comfort items you are looking for in a getaway. Furniture was clean and comfortable. We stayed here as we visited family in nearby towns and it fit the need to have family over for dinner as well as a hideaway after spending time with family :) Looking forward to returning in the future.

Friends Reunion

My daughter & I met up with friends for a summer weekend. Was perfect for the five of us! House very clean, deck is beautiful, (bring charcoal), enclosed porch/TV/game room perfect for teens, window a/c’s in most of the rooms, plenty of beach towels and bath towels available, bunk bedrooms is first in line of rooms, then the queen and then the king room. Connecting bedrooms wasn’t an issue for us b/c we were mostly at the beach and then so tired from sun/swimming at night that we all crashed at the same time. Kitchen had dishes, pots/pans, big pot for corn, most kitchen utensils & some pantry staples. There is a dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven & Mr. Coffee maker in the kitchen. Beach is an easy walk from the house on neighborhood road. Neighbors are lovely, beach was plenty big for us and had a great swimming area!! We would absolutely stay again!!! Thank you, Melissa & Christine!!

Lovely space on land and down my the water.

This stay was perfect for our family: a short walk to beach access, a big yard to play, plenty of room inside, and many aspects of our stay taken care of for us (towels, sheets, etc,). It was a wonderful way to end the summer.

So much fun

The beach was great. The community was perfect. We loved the cabin. My 3 year old called it the grandma house because it felt like being at grandma's house. I spent summers at the lake as a kid and this home away from home gave me the opportunity to share with my kids the great times I miss so much. Thank you

Northville cottage

The two big rooms was awkward because they are connected. The place was very spacious and accompanied all our needs. There is actually no Wi-Fi but the direct tv and dvd player did suffice. The deck was perfect for card games and the lake access was confusing at first but was good just wish I bought tubes to float out on before all the stores were sold out

Everything was very nice. However, there is no WiFi. Also, we were unable to access the Direct TV as there were no instructions as to how to configure the system between the DVD player vs. TV.

Clean and cozy but not for us

This property was extremely clean, and the rooms were comfortable, however, there are a number of issues that would prevent us from returning. 1. There is no wifi, which is only a problem because I have to work remotely. 2. The bathroom shower stall is uncomfortably compact. It was impossible to bathe my toddler; and my very tall husband barely fit in it. 3. The grill is NOT a gas grill, so preparing meals on it took much longer than expected. All this said, the deck is lovely and the lake was just a short walk from the house.

Lake Camp

Great place to get away and enjoy the family. Neighborhood was very welcoming. The property was fantastic. Has everything you need stocked. Big deck to hang out and cook dinner. Lake access was a close walk. Northville was a short drive to go get groceries or some ice cream.

Perfect Lake Getaway

This house was everything we expected! It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, sleep, and lounge on the very spacious deck. Our expectation was to spend a lot of time at the lake, which we did. When we were at the house, we enjoyed BBQing and hanging out in the game room. Melissa was a wonderful and responsive host. She has someone overseeing the property who lives close by who was super friendly and provided us will everything we needed. At the time of our visit, we had the lake access mostly to ourselves. The private cove is shared with 3-4 other homes, but I would describe it more as a beachy. We hauled a bunch of food with us, but there was a very well stocked store 10 minutes away in Northville, and a super center about 35 minutes away.

Cute house

The house was very cute and clean. The bedroom situation was awkward, but manageable. You had to go through all the bedrooms to get to the back bedroom, as they were all linked together. Definitely OK for a family staying together but be forewarned if you are renting with friends or multiple families. Sunroom was awesome! Short walk to the beach which was sandy, so the kids can build sand castles. Super quiet and peaceful! Could walk the loop of the neighborhood. Very friendly neighbors. All in all, was a good time.

Well-equipped base for exploring the Adirondacks

I picked this cottage for its lake access and also for the large comfortable-looking sofa in the screened porch that I knew my teenaged son would love (and he did). Very well stocked cottage with just about everything you might have forgotten at home from toothpaste to hand lotion to ample towels and bedding. Beds very comfortable, good-sized dining table for convivial family and friend gatherings. Cozy fireplace and reading too. Large, fabulous deck that was lovely for that early morning cup of coffee. Super convenient to nearby Northville for a few shops and restaurants and an ice cream cone. Beach access a bit confusing - we got instructions from the owner's mom who lives in the neighborhood. Follow the path towards the water. Take far-right path when you get to the four-way fork! Beach sandy going in but I'd recommend water shoes as there is lake-y gunk when you go in deeper. Lovely protected cove for swimming. Beach chairs on the beach are a big help as you don't have to carry much down to the beach. Renter recommendation to owner would be to place a small table lamp in the TV room - the overhead light is very bright and glaring. Or replace bulbs with lower wattage? We removed a lightbulb while we were there. Also a couple large-growing hydrangea bushes or rose-of-sharon would go a long way to creating a little more privacy along the fence line. We're keeping this one on our list. Thanks.

Nice location on Great Sacandaga Lake

Pros: Great location ( close to Northville) easy access to beach but you need to have your own kayak or paddle board - not much room to do anything other than launch out or sit and have a snack friendly, quiet community, House was clean Cons: kitchen and bath need updating No wifi or dishwasher ( out of order) Sunroom was clean but had an odor making it unpleasant to sit in.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Joss

I grew up coming to the lake with my family for the summers and eventually was fortunate enough to get my own place. My grandparents were the first in my family to discover the lake and my mother and aunts have all kept the tradition of summers on the Sacandaga going for their families. I would like to do the same for my family.

Why they chose this property

It's peaceful, pretty and cozy. Neat clean and self contained. Private setting with lovely trees and lawn with seasonal views of the lake. Off the beaten path on a dirt road with not a lot of traffic except for other residents. Safe for children. Easy access to town and stores. Bring a canoe, kayak or paddle board and spend the day exploring the nearby Kenyon islands. Motor boats welcome easy access to state boat launch. Bike riding, walking or running. You name it you pretty much have it here.

What makes this property unique

Sandy beach with beautiful views of the mountains and the sunsets. Facing west so you have all day sun. Summer days are endless here off of Seven Hills Road. This is truly a beautiful place.
