July - maybe some beach. More likely in the second half of the month.
August - usually plenty of beach.

This is all beyond our control, but it is still beautiful.***


The Space
Hello. Welcome to our house. We call it The Abeling, after the Abeling's Mt View House which was here nearly a century ago.

A hidden gem, Sacandaga Lake is great for boating, fishing and swimming. We are located near the top of the lake, and face south, down the neck of the lake.

Directly on the lake, there are no roads to cross to get to the beach. Simply buy food and drinks, then park the car. Our beautiful three(3) bedroom house with four(4) beds, a large deck and 50 feet of Dock is perfect for families and friends to enjoy the lake.

The house has Central Air-Conditioning and heating. We have also tried to fully stock our house with all the amenities a guest could need. The kitchen generally all the amenities of home.

The gas grill is right outside the kitchen for cooking convenience. If you're not the cook, relax at the comfortable island which seats four. Plenty of space to gather, sample, and taste.

The main living room is just off the kitchen. A vaulted ceiling, skylights, and fan make this room a breeze to lounge in. The beautiful stone fireplace is perfect for those chilly nights off-season. Wall to wall windows facing out onto the lake and the deck below make the room easy to enjoy.

The master bedroom also has the vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan, as well as large windows that face the lake . The master bedroom has an adjustable King bed, along with a cozy sitting area to relax into and a desk for those who have to work. Watch for our favorite neighbors- the bald eagles.

The second bedroom is next to the master, off the living room. It has a comfortable adjustable queen bed and large side window.

The full bathroom with tub and shower is next to the second bedroom. It is the main bathroom.

Moving down the spiral staircase to the finished basement, guests can see the sun pouring in and the large deck accessed through the four sliding doors. A lovely sitting area in the Sunroom is just outside of the third bedroom.

The third bedroom is downstairs. With a its own sliding door to the deck, walk-in closet, and pocket door for privacy; it is just steps from the kitchenette and feels more like its own apartment.

The kitchenette is the utility kitchen for the deck and downstairs guests. It has its own coffee machine or Keurig, as well as microwave and Full sized refrigerator. There is a basin sink in the laundry/storage room just next to the kitchenette.

Nestled in, past the kitchenette and half bath is the den. Cozy and couch-filled, this room boasts an American Leather Queen Sleeper Sofa with gel mattress. A large Smart Tv with cable. Board games, books, cards, and puzzles are also downstairs to enjoy.

But all of this pales in comparison to the lake itself. Relax and enjoy the lake on either deck. Dinner outside, drinks outside, ...everything outside! The large table comfortably seats 6 and the smaller, fire-table seats 4.

The sun shines on the deck almost all day. But fear not! If the sun is not your friend, we have a lovely oversized swivel umbrella that will adjust. Sit still, make the shade move to you.

Done relaxing up top? Head down to the water! Walk down the custom stone pathway to the lower deck with table, stools, and umbrella.

Just a few more steps invites the beautiful water, and sandy beach when the Sacandaga allows it. Water levels do fluctuate. The dock begins here and extends out into the Great Sacandaga Lake.

The driveway is paved and flat, easy to park and unload. We are off the main road, quiet and convenient.

Fun fall escape!
Ideal location for a fall getaway in the Adirondacks, with peaceful views, fireplaces and an outdoor fire pit, near fun fall activities including rail biking and a short train ride to a pumpkin patch. House is well stocked with everything you need to enjoy—including a rainy day!

Great family getaway
We enjoyed a lovely long weekend on the lake. The house is very clean, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need! The location is perfect for getting away. The northern section of the lake is very quiet and offers a wonderful place to kayak and swim. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful Tranquility
Gerard and Kirsty You have a beautiful home with breathtaking views of the lake. The house has everything you need and more. Kayaking and the private beach and deck views are amazing. The views from the large windows of the lake offer incredible views. The hummingbirds, chipmunks and birds (especially the beautiful resident bald eagle) florish in this beautifully landscaped oasis. We plan to come back again...and again. The Holdermans

Just wow
We had the best week! The house had plenty of space for our family of 5 and really anything we could imagine we'd want and more! We are very familiar with the GSL and this location was truly amazing. No road to cross. Great view. Beach was sandy. The outdoor space on the decks were really great to eat outside and watch the hummingbirds at the feeders or hang out by the fire table at night. This house is obviously well taken care of beyond just a rental-- it felt like home because of it. Can't wait to come back!

A slice of heaven
What a delightful find. The Abeling sits above The lake with a fabulous view and lovely flower beds cascading down to the crystal clear water and beach. Kirsty and Gerard have outfitted their lovely home with everything you could think of for a relaxing and/or active water sports vacation. The only complaint I heard was the boys couldn’t hook that elusive Walleye. Many thanks, The Seekamp clan

A relaxing lakeside vacation
Had a wonderful week vacation at this beautiful lakeside home. Everything was perfect for our family of six and our dog. The home was so comfortable and clean, and the view of the lake is unbelievable. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have had in a long time. We spent our time down at the beach swimming and kayaking during the day and having campfires at night. The Stargazing was incredible! We also took the short drive into Lake George and Saratoga for shopping and dinner, which the kids loved, and we hiked the nearby mountains with our dog as well. He had a great vacation too. It really was the perfect family getaway location for us to simply unplug, and connect as a family. We highly recommended it. The week flew by and we were truly sad to leave. I’m sure we will be back!

Great location for low key vacay
We were a family of 3 adults, 2 kids under 10 and a dog. There was ample space for all of us. Having the paddle boards, kayaks, and beach toys available was a highlight for us. Additionally, the small beach was perfect for the kids. It allowed them to be free to explore the water without us feeling stressed about deep water. The location and the decks were great. Just be prepared that there isn’t much close by so grabbing a bite to eat out isn’t an easy option. If you’re looking to primarily stay at the house, BBQ, and enjoy the lake, great place to be. A day trip to Lake George is very doable for more tourist attractions.

Perfect
We felt at home as soon as we walked in. Very nice, comfortable furniture and linens. So great that linens are provided. Stocked with everything you may need and then some, but not cluttered at all. Very neat, organized, and clean. We had a great stay and enjoyed the quiet time with our kids and grandkids. Gerard and Kirsty were so accommodating. I’d rate this at the top of my list for vacation stays. With the special touches, nice linens, and comfy furniture, it almost felt like we were at a hotel, but with the amazing views and coziness of a waterfront cottage. Perfect!

Excellent experience!
House was incredibly cozy and comfortable, and had everything you would need. The view was amazing from every room in the house! We ventured to a couple of the local towns but spent majority of time in house and down by water. Was a great mini vacation for our family, would love to come back during summer season.

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said by virtually all the reviews of this house. Our family loved it! Our dog Sydney misses the lake so much that she brought her water toy to me a few days after getting home to play. We hope to come back again next year!

Why they chose this property

The beautiful view and the peace and quiet of the lake spoke to us. The house is big enough for family and friends, and cozy enough for couples. With the lake right there, the large outdoor area really compliments the living space. It's a year-round house, so we can enjoy a winter night by the fireplace, as well as the foliage in the fall.

What makes this property unique

The biggest unique benefit of the house is the lake. It's out the back door. Being able to walk to the lake without crossing the road is a huge benefit.
