A beautiful lake view cabin on Friends Lake

Friends Lake is a pristine jewel in the Adirondacks, exclusive with no public access appreciated for it's water sports and fishing. You can enjoy a private sandy beach shared with a small association of homeowners. The cottage is equipped with all the basics, along with cable TV and WiFi, you will need to bring your own beach towels. The camp has a large deck, picnic table, barbecue grill and fire pit making it the perfect place for your summer get away.

*Friends Lake is completely free of invasive species, and in order to keep it that way, we can not allow renters to bring/launch their own boats (this includes; Kayaks, Rowboats, Canoes, Motorized boats, paddleboats, etc.). Thank you for your understanding.* That being said there is a rowboat that is for your exclusive use during your stay, and the owner of the property has two kayaks that are for the exclusive use of guests (the kayaks are shared with one other property).

*Due to the size of the cabin, the owner asks that renters bring no more than 2 dogs*

Relaxing in the woods. . .
My friend and I had a wonderful relaxing week in the woods. The cottage was clean and cozy. Someone was there to meet me when I arrived to be sure I had everything I needed. It was quit chilly this week, but we used the little space heater to keep warm. There is a big wood stove, but we didn’t use it. We love kayaking everyday and exploring fun things to do in the area. The lake is so beautiful and clear for swimming and kayaking, and no one was using the shared beach, but us! We loved rail biking on the railroad track in North Creek - Revolution Rail! Fun! It was a perfect week. . . Thank you!

Wonderful relaxing holiday
This is the 2nd year we have had a vacation in this area. This year we opted for the slightly larger cabin and appreciated the additional room. The cabin is clean and had everything we needed....including a heater for the chilly mornings. We will most likely make reservations to stay again.

2nd Timers at this Perfect Lakeside Cottage
Thanks again to Amanda and Dan for a wonderful stay. This was our 2nd year staying in this cottage with our 2 Basset Hounds. Thanks to the weather cooperating, we got 3 perfect days to lounge at the little beach, kayak, and fish. Such a relaxing and beautiful spot. Read my review from Sept 2022 for more details on what your experience will be at this cottage. We can't wait to return next summer!

A little slice of heaven
Great cottage on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed the canoe, kayaks, and rowboat. We caught a monster largemouth bass in about 2 feet of water off the dock. Swam. And used the location as a great jumping off point for multiple Adirondack hikes. Couldn’t have asked for more as this place was clean, homey, and had plenty of room for our small family.

Nice place.
It is a short walk down to the lake with only a minor grade. The rowboat was for my exclusive use, always docked. If I was to revisit the immediate area I could stay here again. It was nice that firewood for indoor use and outdoor use was both provided. Cleanliness of inside was exceptional.

Ideal Lake Experience in the Adirondacks
My husband, our 2 Basset Hounds and I had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. Just as described, the lake is a short walk and the beach area is great for swimming, sunbathing and relaxing. Having the rowboat and kayaks was nice as we used both to explore the lake. The cottage was perfect for the 4 of us. The dogs loved laying on the deck and watching the squirrels and chipmunks scurrying in the pine trees all around. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. for cooking (which we did all but 2 nights). Great restaurant in Chestertown called The Bullhouse (had vegetarian options too), which is a 9 minute drive. Friday we got takeout pizza from The Pizza Shop in Warrensburg and it was great (17 minute drive). Comfortable couches and queen bed (didn't use the other beds in the 2nd bedroom). Fans and heaters available depending on the temperature swings. It didn't get cold enough to use the wood burning stove inside, but was a beautiful feature that added to the ambiance of the cottage. Fire pit was a nice addition and plenty of cut wood to use. Very clean upon arrival and Dan met us to give a tour of the cottage and beach area. There is no outdoor hose or shower, so I did sweep a few times during the week as we inadvertently tracked sand and pine needles into the cottage. Vacuum, broom and dust pan available in the closets. Seemed like a mix of people that were renting cottages and people that own and stay for the season. Lots of friendly dogs and people in the neighborhood. Overall a fabulous location and cottage and we are grateful to have found this place. We definitely will rent next year! Thank you to Amanda and Dan!

The Lake is everything
We enjoyed our stay. There was a mix up about which cottage we rented when we arrived. Dan solved it, the cottage was not cleaned prior because of the mix up. It’s fine he changed the bedding and we got on with our week. The lake is pristine, so beautiful!

Charming Adirondack Cottage
This was an adorable, homey cottage nestled in the trees next to Friend's Lake. It's kitchen is well equipped and we loved using the old time stove. The furniture is comfortable and we loved sitting out on the deck. Perfect for a small family to just get away for a week. It was the quietest lake we have ever visited but close enough to the bigger lakes to visit for an afternoon.
