About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Home With Great Location

Lake Abanakee Camp is more like Lake Abanakee Home than a camp, with brick fireplace, hardwood and nice quarry tile look vinyl flooring, natural wood cabinets and walls, birchbark themed kitchen wallpaper (nice kitchen), and lots of Adirondack touches from rug to artwork to lamp/end table. The 'screened porch' is actually a room off the kitchen with 2 windows that have screens when opened. There is a nice view of the lake across a quiet neighborhood road from all 3 of those rooms.The small wading beach is not ideal for swimming (kids will like it) because the water is shallow at this spot but there is a dock for boating. You will spend many pleasant hours and meals sitting in the chairs by the water. You might see the doe and fawn along the shore to our right as well as at different times duck and 8 tiny ducklings, 6 geese, and loons can be heard throughout.. An active osprey nest is atop a pole in the middle of the causeway. The double lot with the lawned sideyard on one side of the house provides privacy, and the neighbor on the other side never uses their dock or waterfront next to ours, so it gives you more of a feeling of having this section of the lakefront to ourselves. Friendly community (people wave); quiet at night. You might want to climb up Chimney Mt to a fine view from some of the rock formations at the top or kayak/fish on the lake. There is a nice small swimming beach, convenience store, and a few eateries a couple miles away in the town and more trailheads along the road to beautiful Blue Mt Lake with state owned islands, just one of many paddling experiences nearby in addition to miles of exploration in Lake Abanakee itself. Approximately 4 miles long and ½ mile wide, Lake Abanakee winds around islands with nesting osprey and eagles. Both large and small mouth Bass are abundant, as are the more elusive Northern Pike. The plentiful pan-fish population will keep the beginning fisherman interested, while the experienced hand can attempt a larger catch, including Muskie and Walleye. Lake Abanakee is exceptionally quiet. Rare is the loud motor boat, though trolling motors are welcome. Paddle enthusiasts will find hours of leisurely touring. Or, travel up the Indian River and over a wooded portage to experience Indian Lake. NOTE: this is a cabin in the woods, there will be wildlife, maybe a mouse, maybe a moose, one never knows.

This rental includes the use of two kayaks and row boat at your own risk..Lake Abanakee Home has a lot going for it! Check in is 2pm, check out is 10am. THIS RENTAL ONLY RENTS PER WEEK FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK JULY AND AUGUST, Saturday to Saturday, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST SHORTER STAYS DURING THESE MONTHS, No Pets, no smoking, no linens are provided, you must supply your own sheets, towels, etc. There is also no housekeeping so you will be responsible for that also, leaving the house in clean condition. We make no guarantees and are not responsible for anything that may not be functioning but will do our best to correct the issues. thanks for looking!

Classic Adirondack Getaway

Our family came to hike around the area. This was a perfect, peaceful location that allowed us to get to great hiking locations within 15 min. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and rowboat. The property is accurate to the description. This has a classic Adirondack camp feel. We hope to come again.

Wonderful house and location!

Perfect sized house, clean and comfortable. Enjoyed looking at lake everyday, kayaking and fishing. My friend caught 4 Northern Pike. They are difficult to catch, however all were 25-30 inches. Friendly people in the neighborhood. Donna is a very responsive host. This was our second time staying there, and both vacations were great!

We had a great time here. We would rent again if we go back to that area. Loved all the wildlife around. Supplies are a lot more expensive in this area so try and bring as much stuff with you as you can. Overall we had a fantastic time.

Beautiful Camp

The camp was very nice and well equipped. We saw deer in the yard several times and enjoyed seeing the ducks every morning making their rounds. The lake was nice for paddling, but we didn't have much luck fishing. The area is very quiet with a large private yard. Overall, a nice and relaxing stay.

Place is amazing!

I stayed at this home this past fall and my family and I had a fantastic weekend. It was very quiet, but entertaining, just what we were looking for. It is right on the lake, very convenient for boating, fishing, hiking, making smores by the fire at night and much more. The house is gorgeous, cozy and perfect for a week in the Adirondack mountains. I can't wait to go back!!!

Perfect house and location

House very clean and comfortable and well stocked.Felt “at home” immediately. Amazing quiet location on beautiful lake. Having use of kayaks was great. Difficult lake to fish even with tips from host’s brother, however scenery and wildlife made up for it. Quiet roads to walk and pretty sunsets. Very relaxing. Wonderful responsive host. Would highly recommend it!

Great location!

This home was a lot larger than we expected. It could comfortably sleep 7. It was in an ideal location just outside the hamlet of Indian Falls and had an excellent view of lake Akanabee. We enjoyed daily visits from a doe and her fawn. Our only disappointment was that the instructions inside the house forbade us from using the living room fireplace.

A Nice Water Front Cottage

Our family of four had plenty of room to spread out inside the unit. The use of two kayaks was one of the reasons we rented this unit. We brought our own life jackets and boat cushions, but both of these items were there plus more in the pool chest by the dock. We were please to learn that this unit is on a quiet road that is good for walking. The hamlet of Indian Lake is a five minute drive away, with a convenience store/gas station (Stewart’s Shops) and a hardware/souvenir shop. The unit had very good internet. The storage room has most of the household supplies you’ll need for your stay 😉. The cleaning supplies provided made check out day cleaning a breeze.

Beautiful Area. Would not stay here again

It is a beautiful area to visit, especially in the fall. But once we arrived at the cabin, we could not help but notice a very strong mildew odor. This was not something that was going away by opening a window or spraying some Lysol. We thought perhaps using the fireplace may have helped some but we were told “we don’t allow use of the indoor fireplace”. We did what we could to clear the air and once we were there for a short while we really didn’t notice the odor anymore not knowing it was because now, we smelled like mildew too. It wasn’t until we loaded our car that we realized we were taking the mildew and odor home with us because our belongings have been soaking it up all week. It was a lot of work once we were home to disinfect and deodorize everything that was in the car. Any food we brought home with us was thrown out. The worst of it was that the air blowing out of my husband’s CPAP machine smelled horribly like mildew. We attempted to clean it but the smell was not going to go away. Unfortunately, we were forced to get a new CPAP machine. It is difficult for us to believe they are not aware. We would love to return to the area sometime in the future but will not be staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Weber

Host profile image
My husband and I are both young for retirement but retired non the less. I was a supervisor in the laboratory at the hospital on Cape Cod and my husband works part time as a horticulturist. We have two children and three grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

My father built this house and we will never part with it. We grew up going to the Adirondacks when we were little, our kids grew up going and now their kids will grow up running, hiking, boating, snowmobiling, fishing, tubing, skiing, swimming and an all around fun time.

What makes this property unique

You will love the simply lifestyle, this house will bring you back to the good old days, with modern conveniences. Lake Abanakee is a tributary of Indian Lake. Since there are no large boats, it is quiet and perfect for fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
