Nicest place we have ever stayed at in the Adirondacks. 3 bedrooms, so many amenities, cute coffee station, internet, beautiful beach. Firewood included, kayaks to use. Pet friendly. Love, loved it!
Overall experience was very good! It wasn’t totally clear from the ad listing that our cabin was surrounded by several other cabins on the site- so that would have been nice to know. Otherwise, the hosts seemed to have thought of just about everything a guest would need and made things pretty comfortable. We had a great time!
We enjoyed our getaway cabin stay on Lake Pleasant. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was beautiful - great lawn stretching down to sandy beach. Our host was very communicative and made us feel welcome. We would definitely go back and we highly recommend.

Charming rustic cabin on the lake!
Fantastic place to stay. Comfortable, clean, and well-stocked cabin. The Host was friendly and helpful. The cabin was perfect for our family of 6 (kids age 1-12). Stand up shower only, but had a pull down shower which made it a breeze to wash small children. Double porches expanded the living space and the whole cabin felt like home. As an added bonus, I did not have to baby-proof aside from keeping the remote controls away from little hands! There were numerous common areas outside, and the property had a spacious park-like feel. The beach was clean and sandy. The kids loved building sandcastles and swimming. We had a lovely and relaxing vacation. Great place for a family or adult-only trip. Highly recommend!

Perfect Retreat…
The accommodations were fantastic, the cabin was well maintained and the lake views were beautiful. The owners provided numerous complimentary activities for guests, including kayaks, a basketball hoop, beach toys, tubes, etc. Highly recommended, the only complaint by our kids is that we didn’t stay longer..
The cabin was very clean and nicely furnished. Nice view of the lake from the enclosed porch or the lawn chairs outside on the large lawn leading down to the shore. Wish it had been closer to the shoreline, but it was just a short walk, and I knew that before I rented the cabin. The owner was easy to reach with any questions and responded promptly. It was postseason, so it was very quiet and serene. Nice little town of Speculator was just a couple minutes by car with many amenities. There was a nice park in the town where I took my dog daily for longer walks. Everyone I met was very friendly and welcoming. A truly relaxing few days away from city life. The morning views of the lake with the sun burning off the fog were absolutely gorgeous!
