Weekend Getaway

The cabin was just as described. The owners contacted us ahead of time with arrival information and key codes. We had a lovely weekend stay! I also appreciate being able to bring our family dog! Would definitely recommend.

Great Spot

We had a great time at the camp! Private serene beach area perfect for children. Nice large deck to hang out and chill on. Northville is absolutely adorable and super close. The ROKU tv was a lifesaver! Hoping to rent next year and hoping for some minor interior updates : P

The Earthly Paradise

This Lakefront Cedar Cabin has a nice vibe outside on the beach by the shore of an amazing reservoir lake. Inside the first thing you notice is the light coming through the generous windows that lead out, down a green lawn to the clear lake and sandy shore. The cabin is well-equipped including a good kitchen for preparing meals for the table on the porch. The surrounding area is lovely and the quaint town of Northville is convenient and charming. We certainly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning next summer.

Cute Place, Great Location

This place was great - beautiful location on the lake. Huge lawn leading to the lake/beach. Cabin was serviceable. Pretty small, especially the bathroom, but well-enough equipped. We had to pay extra for sheets and towels (not something I'm used to) which was a bit annoying, as it wasn't THAT cheap to stay here.

Quiet Lake Getaway

We had a nice time on our vacation. We were looking for a relaxing week away and we got it. The house was smaller than we imagined, but ended up working fine for us. The beach area is beautiful and really makes this property special. We had fires on the lake at night and it was awesome. There are neighbors nearby, but they are friendly and quiet. We enjoyed all of the local restaurants we tried. The shower is very small. If you are a large person it may be a problem for you, it worked fine for all of us. The owner always responded quickly and was very helpful (thank you).

Back Again

Our second time renting the cabin, ironically was even better than the first. We'd towed our Boston Whaler from the Mid-hudson region hoping to spend a lot of time on the water. Well, life is often different from our aspirations, and so we took the lemons and enjoyed the lemon-aid. We like to read, and so it was a good time spent with a book. We love the natural beauty of the region, and the cabin itself is attractive with large rear windows that offer a spendid view of the expansive lawn and lake. We got two days on the water, one a lucky surprise. We've been coming to Sacandaga for around twenty years. We used to camp with our daughter (who was on hand for her 31st birthday. Now that she is grown and we are older, this cabin is perfect. We'll look forward to a third time in '24!

Beautiful lake!!!

Nice location on the lake- nice beach with shaded area too. Beach & big windows facing the lake was the best part- reason why we selected this camp.

End of summer get-away

Very cozy and comfortable camp. Huge lawn for games or relaxing. Nice view of lake over the lawn area. The beach is the best part! It's a little bit of a walk (2-3 minutes) to the beach over the lawn, but it's worth it! Sandy, secluded, relaxing! It was perfect for my 8 year old grandson and also for my active 81 year old mother. Neighbors are there, but not invasive of your enjoyment. It's our second year going back to the camp - looking forward to visiting again!

Sacandaga Cabin

Gorgeous beach, nice and sandy and gradual walk in to the water. Kitchen was very small, hard for two people to try to do dinner or breakfast at once, but that was not an issue if you cook dinner on the grill, although the temperature gauge on the grill does not work, so hopefully if you are cooking some good steaks, you know how to do it precisely. Hopefully they will also get some extra garbage cans; was told they picked up recycling every Wednesday and it is every other, so we had our friends take one bag and we left one in the cabin. After all of these comments, I have to say, I loved the place. The deck, the view and the beach are to die for

Best week ever

The cabin was clean, cozy and just perfect. We hiked and enjoyed the spectacular beach. Neighbors were very friendly. The house sits above the beach by about 100 yards. Our dogs couldn't get enough of the water. It is one of the best places on Sacandaga.

Wonderful beach!!

Clean, comfortable cabin with all we needed to relax! Great deck with barbeque grill and family size table. Big lawn for games! It is a bit of a walk to the lake over the lawn, but you can still see and enjoy the lake from the cabin. The walk to the lake is worth it - wonderful sandy beach with a picnic table. Once you are there, it is like having your own personal oasis. I spent days with my toes in the sand and a book in my hands! It was great swimming for my 6 year old grandson - gradual slope, soft sand. Highly recommend!

Heaven on Earth

This rental was the best place to spend our end of summer vacation. Breathtaking views of the private lake along with plenty of space for our pups to run around made this ideal for us. Kitchen was fully stocked for all our cooking needs. Breakfast on the deck and wine by the fire completed the great stay. Loretta was responsive to our needs and ensured our stay was perfect. Can't wait to go back next year!!! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of heaven on earth.

wonderful camp

Stayed here for a week in July. The camp is just as it appears in the photos...really nice camp with plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 2 small children plus a large dog. The view is beautiful, large yard leading down to the 50 ft beach! Nice sandy beach with shade trees at the beginning for little ones. The depth change in the water is very gradual...good for kids! Located very close to the village of Northville so convenient to shops and restaurants! Great vacation spot!

Diamond in the Ruff

With so many five star reviews we were expecting a great property. The location, lawn and beach are great. The deck looked run down and in need of stain. Unfortunately the worn out look carried on inside. First off the sink wasn't clean and the drying rack had dishes and cups from the previous renter. The online pictures made the place look much larger. There was a strong musty smell inside. The seating areas were fine, but the tables etc. were of sixties vintage and in poor condition. The "master" bedroom was so small the bed had to be pushed up against the wall and was without a dresser. Exiting the bed on the wall side entailed shimmying down the bed and hopping off then crawling back up the bed. OK if you are in your twenties, not OK if you are in your mid sixties. The bathroom was the smallest we've ever seen with exposed plumbing pipes and a mirror light consisting of a single bare bulb. The other two bedrooms were small again with sixties vintage furniture. There was exposed electrical wiring throughout. The structure is an old school Sacandaga camp. (A nicely finished shed.) The previous places we rented in this price range were immaculate We are still stunned by all the five star ratings. We wouldn't revisit nor recommend this property. We actually left a day early.

Sacandaga lake August 2020

This was our second trip to this lake. It is by far our families favorite we have visited so far. The lawn on this cottage is very long and the beach is sandy like one you would be on at the ocean. The cottage was perfect for our family. The VRBO host was great about contacting us prior to vacation about getting into the rental. Any questions we had were very promptly responded to throughout the week. When we arrive the cottage and the beach were very clean. I loved this place and would recommend it to anyone wanting to take their family on a vacation in the adirondack region.

Why they chose this property

The Great Sacandaga Lake offers many opportunities for swimming, boating, and fishing. On this lake there are very limited lake front properties that have their very own sandy beach. Our beach is well maintained and generally away from heavy boat traffic.

What makes this property unique

The beach on this property features a nice gradual decline as you enter the water.
