The Loft- a seasonal winter retreat in Raquette Lake

Accommodation, Features

Additional Property Information

When you choose a winter get-away in the Adirondacks, you're choosing to experience a 6 million-acre state park comprised of privately and publicly owned land, the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states.

A car is a necessity to get here and to get around.

The publicly owned State land is constitutionally protected from any kind of development- thus "forever wild." Raquette Lake, with 99 miles of shoreline, is the largest natural lake in the Adirondacks. 80% of the shoreline is owned by the State so you won't see many camps or people- just pristine shoreline, woods and wildlife. Relax, rejuvenate, rejoice!

Sound like something you would enjoy? Peace, quiet and natural beauty in abundance!

What The Loft has to offer is a cozy Adirondack base camp for your winter escape far from the madding crowd. This winter especially, 2020-21 with the Covid 19 Pandemic still menacing, renting a whole cabin for an entire season is appealing. We all hoped the virus would be gone, or at least would have subsided significantly by this Fall and Winter.

Indications are that safety protocols will still be in place through at least 2nd Q, 2021. What to do? You still have a life to live! You still want/need to recreate, relax and rejuvenate. Renting your own cottage for the entire season reduces your exposure to the coronavirus. You can still play outside, participate in all kinds of winter sports, but not have to worry about indoor dining in a restaurant. And you can rest assured that whatever microbes are present in The Loft, are your microbes, not those of the customer who slept and ate there last week.

Safe, outdoor activities abound. The snowmobiling is spectacular with miles and miles of groomed trails, some permitted and some free of charge. There's also ice fishing, snowshoeing, downhill and cross- country skiing. McCauley Mt is just 40 min away. Gore Mt is a 60 min drive. Lake Placid’s Whiteface is a 2.5 hr drive....all great alpine ski destinations. Cross country ski right out your front door plus groomed trails in Inlet, just 15 min away. Did I mention curling up with a good book in front of the fire?

Sleeps up to 6. Ideal for a family, with children sleeping in bunk room and parents in master bedroom.

Available by the season only, Dec 1-April 1. $5000. Plus fully refundable security deposit of $1000 (upon satisfactory walk-through prior to departure in April). Call 315-354-5532 or email. Text 315-369-5576.
