Great vacation spot!
We spent one of the most relaxing weeks here. We had a private dock right on the lake. There were kayaks and a canoe. Plus, we were very near access to the Adirondack Rail Trail.When we arrived, the house was spotless and access could not have been easier. The host checked in with us a couple of times to see if we had any questions or if there was anything we needed. I would definitely come back here.

Perfect Home in a Winter Wonderland
The picturesque private road leads to a beautiful lodge positioned on an point in Lake Oseetah. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures here and Shannon, the host is tremendous and thinks of everything. She even surprised us with a decorated Christmas tree and holiday decorations. It was the prefect location for as the kids kept saying, the "most relaxing Christmas ever!" We will be back as it is super private but close to everything!
