Loon Lake, Chestertown - Spotless, bright chalet - 0.4 mi. from public beach

Beautiful "Haus Cronov" is nestled among the pines and huge front yard only about 0.4 miles West of the Loon Lake Public Beach. Very bright home with huge deck, screened-in porch, giant yard, firepit, recreation room with foosball table.

3 lovely bedrooms sleeping 6 plus 2 single beds in the recreation room. Also a baby cot. Please note, additional rental fee for parties greater than 6.

Chalet built in 1989, upgraded with hardwood floors, radiant floor heat and cozy gas fake-log stove in great room/kitchen that is adjustable on thermostat, a screened in porch, modern kitchen with granite countertops, huge recreation room in basement. A convenient 4.4 mi. drive from Adirondack Northway 87 Exit 25 or 2 mi. from downtown village of Chestertown.

You are a mere 0.4 miles away from the pristine Loon Lake public beach with lifeguard, roped-off swimming area, boatlaunch and plenty of parking. Grab lunch or soft ice cream across the street at the 1st class Deli. Great Steaks available to take home and grill up.
SUMMER: You will love all the local Hiking trails (Chester Challenge), swimming in Loon Lake, playing in our yard, watching for falling stars from the front deck, eating your meals in the comfort of the screened-in porch.

WINTER: Of the many ski areas, closest is Gore Mt., a scenic 13 mi. drive, few miles from Hudson River.

Bright, clean and cozy 3 floor wooden chalet (off Route 8) flanked by forest area as well as 1-acre front yard with firepit. 4 Bedrooms include: a master loft bedroom with queen bed and bathroom, two bedrooms on the main floor, one with double bed and the other with a queen bed; In the basement recreation room there are 2 single beds and a half bath.

2 full Bathrooms (2 walk-in showers), 1 half-bath in Rec.Room, large + open living/dining/ kitchen area with bar, table for 6-8, 2 sofas and a chair in front of the direct vent gas heating stove, as well as 2 window air conditioner (1 in main room and in the loft bedroom) . For all summer meals there is a large screened-in porch with 2 tables and the porch has a ceiling fan for great grill evenings.

The yard is over an acre large with a generous apron deck with awning-covered sitting area for great sunsets or stargazing. Modern, well-stocked kitchen, fridge with ice maker. Easy house to maintain.

The lovely Loon Lake Pubic Beach is a short walk or drive from the house (0.4 mile), Lifeguard on duty with sandy beach and a deli across the street with excellent ice cream, plenty of parking available and a boat-launch site available too.

In summer a family paradise, in fall a breathtaking foliage experience, in winter a lonesome, romantic winter wonderland, in spring a mt. biking, river-rafting explosion of nature, 'Haus Cronov' provides the ideal background to your vacation.

In nearby village is the Chestertown Medical Center, free ski lift, sledding and skating at Dynamite Hill, Information Center, quaint gift shops, restaurants, grocery store, etc.

beautiful 20-min. drive to bustling Lake George.

Spacious ski chalet
We loved our stay at House Cronov, our group of eight had enough room to eat and play together as well as separate rooms to get some privacy after a long day skiing. We loved how clean and well equipped the house was (plenty kitchen items, towels, blankets etc) and how fast the house keeper responded to our needs. We will be back…

Wonderful stay at Haus Cronov. The house was clean, well organized and stocked with all the essentials. There was plenty of room for our family to gather and play games or just sit and read. The kids enjoyed the lake, a trip to Adirondack extreme and hiking the many trails. Chestertown just a short drive.

Lovely Loon Lake getaway
Our multi-generational family enjoyed another wonderful week at Haus Cronov. The house is clean and updated and very comfortable. Everything is meticulously labeled for guests’ convenience and every possible question anticipated. The kitchen is better stocked than any we have ever experienced in a rental, and the spacious open floor plan and, especially, the screened porch, are perfect for a family gathering. Loon Lake is a peaceful Adirondack destination and the house is very conveniently located to enjoy all it has to offer. We will certainly return to Haus Cronov to enjoy it!

Cozy Retreat Near Loon Lake
Our stay at House Cronov was very relaxing. The home is comfortable, well stocked, and very organized. We especially enjoyed meals in the screened in porch. We tried a number of local restaurants and had excellent meals at each one. One day kayaks were rented and used on Loon Lake for a fun morning activity. In addition, bike trips were taken in the area. One of the trips was a loop setup to go around Loon Lake and Friends Lake. We recommend staying at House Cronov and would rent again!

Clean and sunny cabin
Just as advertised, this cabin was clean, nicely maintained, and comfortable. We enjoyed the neighborhood private beach and relaxing on deck and screened in porch. Host communicated well. The backyard is right on Rt 8/9, so there is a small amount of road noise but not disruptive. Kitchen is very well equipped and we appreciated the info about the area, especially the farmers market in Chestertown. Thank you for a nice stay!

Lovely Adirondack Chalet at Loon Lake
Our three generation family has been vacationing at Loon Lake for several years but stayed for the first time this year at Haus Cronov. The house did not disappoint. The open living space is perfect for a group. It was immaculately clean upon check-in. In two decades of renting vacation homes, I have not come across as solicitous a host as Crista. Everything is meticulously labeled with answers to every question that might occur to you (what's the wifi password? how does this fan turn on? etc.) There is also a comprehensive binder of information and the family's personalized recommendations for the area, and Crista is very quick to respond to any questions you might email. The kitchen is very well stocked--clearly this is a family vacation house where much cooking is done. The large dining table inside and out would seat a crowd, and we loved having meals on the breezy screened porch. It feels like sitting in a treehouse. Couches and linens are updated and carpet looks brand new. There is a newly renovated basement rec room not featured on the listing, with a foosball table that was a big hit with the kids. Loon Lake is pristine and never crowded--we love kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing there. Nearby hikes are lovely as well. Highly recommend the area and Haus Cronov!

Great place for a family getaway
I stayed here with my family who were visiting from Ireland and we had a wonderful week. The house accomodated us well - there was plenty of space over 3 floors for us to spread out. The screened-in porch was just lovely for evening dinners and games and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook big dinners. The beds were comfortable and there are plenty of fans for hot nights. Crista is a very responsive host and got back to me quickly with questions. There are two beaches within the housing association - both about a 4-5 minute walk - and we enjoyed them very much. Some minor downsides: if you're into fishing it's not very easy there - the private beaches don't allow it. The rental does not come with kayaks or canoes, and though you can rent them at a local marina, you cannot park them at the association beaches. This makes it difficult to rent for the week and come and go. Also, there's a photo of a twin bed that wasn't there when we arrived but we made do with an air mattress. The house is located on a main road so the traffic noise permeates the Adirondack nature sounds you hope to hear. Overall, though, I did really love our stay. We swam, had fires in the pit, took long walks and were very comfortable. It's nice that it's very easy to get to grocery stores, ice cream, pizza, and Stewart's. I would definitely recommend Haus Cronov for a great Adirondack experience.

Winter 2022 in Chestertown
Spent another lovely winter at Haus Cronov enjoying the winter offerings of the Adirondacks, especially Gore Mountain. This winter chalet once again provided our family of four with a much needed respite from the daily burn of our school and work schedules. Nothing better than enjoying the late day sun of the Adirondacks in the house after a day of skiing. Crista and Stefan are supreme hosts and incredibly responsive to any issues that may arrive during a stay. We look forward to returning.

Our stay at Haus Cronov was wonderfully relaxing. The house was just as described, and included everything we needed. Crista reached out more than once to ensure we were doing well. Our favorite parts were dinner on the screened in porch; coffee on the deck , watching the deer and listening to the birds; and the short walk to the lake, where the kids had a blast jumping off the dock. Perfect place for a family fo spend a week away. The kids are already asking when we can go back.

A Relaxing Week
We wanted to treat our niece, her husband, and two toddlers to a relaxing week vacation after the difficult previous year of pandemic. The accommodations were perfect as we could stay up in the loft while their family had their own bath and two bedrooms downstairs. We took advantage of the large deck and screened porch. The children played games in the large yard and ate s’mores at night at the fire pit. We went on long walks on nearby trails. Our favorite was Pinnacle near Bolton Landing. The children loved swimming at the community beach. On an early morning at the beach they saw two adult lions with babies up close from the boat dock. Everything we needed was available at the house from washer/ dryer to gas grill. Everything was neat and tidy upon our arrival. It was just what this young family needed to emerge fully from the pandemic. Thank you very much

The property was okay. We wouldn't stay there again. The house needs updating. You can see the wear and tear of the house being rented. The beds are extremely uncomfortable, the bed frames do not seem sturdy, there are huge spiderwebs on the ceiling and lots of dust on the wood beams (house could use a deep cleaning). The property is the first house off the main road, it wasn't as secluded as described.

Winter Getaway
My family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) booked this lovely chalet for the winter ski season and could not have been more pleased. The house is warm and inviting as well as fully stocked with everything one might need for their vacation. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the wonderful sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon which was a great way to begin and end each day. The gas fireplace and radiant heat floors in the main room kept the house very cozy and comfortable during our stay.. Gore Mountain is only 20 minutes away and even with COVID a few restaurants provided nice meal options (Bullhouse, Main Street Ice Cream Parlor and OP Fredericks) but my favorite by far , at the owners' suggestion, was the Garnet Hill Lodge. Also, if looking to stock the house with food, Oscar's smokehouse was a delightful find. Crista and Stefan were excellent hosts, highly responsive and did everything to make our stay a success. We look forward to returning!

Marvelous fall foliage family vacation at Haus Cronov! Wished we had stayed longer.
Very well equipped, charming and cozy chalet house. Great sunny exposure of the house with massive yard and wooden area, a delight for kids while adults enjoy the comfort of the deck or the sprawling living room with cathedral ceiling. Spacious open kitchen has all that you need form those cooking everyday. Well balanced bedrooms’ layout. Private community setup and its amenities with beach lake access is a plus. Perfect place to swim, run, bike and hike. Very helpful, highly responsive and accommodating owners. We would definitely try it out again and recommend the house!

Great Adirondack Getaway
We had a great experice staying at this property. Crista was very responsive and commited to make sure we got what we need. When we first checked in, we realized that the wifi speed isnt fast enough for our remote working/school needs since we would have three devices streaming at the same time. Crista spent hours to make sure the network got upgraded for our needs. This house is also located in a nice neighborhood with beautiful lake access. The only reason that I am not putting 5 stars for all categories is that its a bit close to route 8/9 so it isn't as private as something fully secluded but overall its quite and very well maintained. Highly recommended.

Real home away from home
Really it was Home away from Home. This house was everything we had hoped for. Clean, comfortable, simple, convenient and cute. The location was perfect (just far enough away from busy, yet close enough!) Grill and kitchen was very well equipped and stocked with everything that you need( only one thing missing was a vegetable shredder,but can live w/out). Covered patio was very pleasant place for dining and just get toghether- fresh air and no bugs! It was a cold spell during our stay in the beginning of the September - fireplace (propane stove) really was a big help, brought warmth and feeling of comfort to the entire house. Also it was so enjoyable to watch the moon rise and the starry night (lucky no overcast) by the fire pit. The host was a pleasure to deal with-we had minor issue with bathroom sink-she attended to it immediately. We had really very pleasant stay!!!
