Blue Lake Mt
Enjoyed hiking Castle Rock and Sawyer Mt trails nearby. Visited the Adirondack Experience history Museum on a rainy afternoon. If you enjoy the outdoor it’s a great retreat! We brought plenty of food and enjoyed the charcoal grill every night. Very private and relaxing! Very much enjoyed our stay here!

Awesome place !!!!!
I mean you can`t go wrong, beautiful house, lake in the backyard. Kayaks and boats available, did not have to lug my kayak up. Grill and fire pit for cooking, watching the otters and loons come by regularly. Had the biggest pike of my life on but of course he bit through my line. I ll get him next year, because i m not sure i can find a better place in the Adirondacks for a relaxing trip like this. Think i ll start looking at real estate here :)
