Fantastic House on a fantastic lake
My family spends a week in the Adirondacks every summer. We usually try a new house on a new lake, until we find the perfect spot. We may have just found that perfect spot with this house on Trout Lake.
The house was fantastic. It was clean, well organized, and the owners considered nearly every aspect of making our stay perfect. We are from out of state, so some owner policies of not providing linens is a real hassle. However, Ken helped us out there. We have 4 teenagers and I have to say, they were kept busy for an entire week and had plenty of space to spread out.
First off, the water access and dock are the best we have ever had in the Adirondacks. Wonderful large dock with great swimming, right off the edge. We loved the floating dock we could swim out to. The large dock allowed my son to fish and my daughters to sunbathe all at the same time. The hot tub was absolutely great. Once we figured out how to keep a fire hot in the box, it was a cinch to keep the water warm all week. We were in and out of that all week long, day and night. My only recommendation to the owner was for a better fire pit. We love sitting around the fire at night. There is one pit on the far side of the boathouse, but it is not convenient, or in a nice place to sit. We did have a nice fire in the box on the dock, but making a nice pit there would be the final touch to a nearly perfect place to stay.
The lake itself is gorgeous. We fished every day and the owners providing a small motorized boat, kayaks, and canoe were perfect. We used everything and had such fun. The lake is deep and fishing was loads of fun.
The house is really great for a family. The 3 bedrooms upstairs accommodated our 4 teenagers very well. My wife and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom and loved the convenience to the kitchen for a late night or early morning cup of coffee. We really loved the cozy atmosphere of the house as well. Having a fire in the fireplace was a perfect end to every night.
We really can't wait to come back. When my wife says this was her favorite house, that means something. Thanks to the owners for making our stay so memorable. They are great people and really do care about their guests. I will say, all the amenities really do make a difference.
Thanks!
