Where Is the Rental?
Our Loon Lake Home is located on Rt 26 on Loon Lake in Vermontville, NY, and is a lakefront property with 100 feet of private waterfront in a secluded but sizable cove. There is another Loon Lake in the Lower Adirondacks, that isn't us. The cottage is close to Rt. 26 but, it sits on a hill so you don't hear cars passing by. As an aside, there is very little traffic on Rt. 26. By the way, please ignore the link that brings up the Google Map. Instead, refer to the picture we have included with the other pictures. We are right on the lake.
How Many People will the Rental Accommodate?
The cottage sleeps 4-5. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and another bedroom has a single and double..

What to Do?
It is fun to begin the day with either a hike to any one of the local mountains or, simple walk out to the dock, which is only a few steps from the back door and hop in the boat and go fishing or go for a swim. Loon Lake is a fishing jewel for bass and Northern Pike. If you are a fisherman/fisherwoman, just ping me if you are going to rent and I'll share the spots where I've had luck and what I used. You can use either a row boat we have, the paddle board or our kayaks (2). If you want to stay in, we have tons of board games for your use. If you want to bring your own trolling motor or fish finder for the row boat, please feel free to do so. Otherwise, you can get in a little exercise rowing around the lake to find a fish or two. Please note, renters are not allowed to bring their own boats.
Note, we are just a 30 second walk to a sandy beach which is ideal for swimming or just relaxing.
Not Into Fishing?
Hiking is huge around the house. You can set off on foot or drive to a nearby mountain and enjoy the view. The Milky Way is brilliant at night. I would encourage you to download an app for your cellphone so you can point it at the sky to identify all the constellations you are seeing. To digress a bit, we mentioned that we are on a secluded cove. From our house which sits on a sizeable cove, you can see no other homes. No worries about loud neighbors or other renters. The only noise you might hear would be a woodpecker. Oh, do be on the lookout for American Bald Eagles. They circle the cove at random and are magnificent to see. If you need a break from nature, we have WiFi and a smart TV. We generally have enough bandwidth to accommodate a few kids playing online games, streaming TV and a Zoom call all at the same time. Also, please feel free to use the WiFi to make calls on your cell phone.
