About this property

Adirondack 6 BR/4B Waterfront w/ Tennis Court, Sand VB Court & Dock/Boat House

A recently renovated recreational paradise on the water in the Adirondacks with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. The "Adirondack Stags Leap" vacation home was built as a large single-family summer home in the 1930's in the historic Adirondack "Camp" style, with major renovations in 2016-2019. It was designed by a well-known Adirondack architect on a double lot that includes a wooded area, private tennis court, volleyball courts (sand & grass), large yard, fire pit, boathouse with dock and wide waterfront. This camp offers incredible recreation and living space for multiple families, couples, friends, or extended families alike. It is ideal for a revitalizing spring, a fun-filled summer and an adventurous autumn and the famous Adirondack color-changing leaves. We have magnificent trees on sight and the fall view of the hillside across the Channel is a must-see.

The Camp includes a comfortable lodge-style living room with fireplace and wide screen TV with cable with a selection of movie channels, a brand new large kitchen with island seating 6, and a dining area with antique table seating at least 8-10. The kitchen opens up to a large deck (one of two decks) with picnic tables and barbecue nearby and traditional Adirondack chairs. Three of the 6 bedrooms offer king-size beds (linens provided) with private or semi-private bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms offer 2 twin beds each, one of which is on the first floor with easy access. an en-suite bathroom and TV. The sixth bedroom is a bunk room with two bunk beds; both beds are full-size on bottom and regular-twin on top. The home is fully heated with dual modern furnaces, if needed.

Outdoor living features a large screened-in porch with seating and a table, a sitting deck, the previously mentioned enormous off-kitchen deck, patio area and a large front lawn, providing ample space to read a book, hold great conversations, or just watch and wave as the boats go by on the channel. The property covers approximately 2.5 acres and includes rustic woods, private tennis & picketball court with basketball hoop, sand volleyball court, grass volleyball/badminton area (or bocce lawn), fire pit, patio sitting areas, waterfront dock, and a boat house with an open slip. We do not provide watercraft, but you are welcome to bring your own or rent from many local businesses - from paddle boats and kayaks to speed boats, and most things in between.

An attached laundry (accessible off the kitchen stoop) includes 2 washers/dryers for ample laundry capacity. The garage, accessed by ramp from the laundry, has a ping pong table, tennis gear, and badminton rackets. A few balls are also available for the basketball hoop, volleyball court and kicking around.

nice kitchen
"rustic" is what to picture in your mind so you are not disappointed by the less than clean furniture if you have to spend a lot of time inside the house. The kitchen is nice and the outdoor space is great. (except maybe for the rule to put out your fire by 10) the tap water had an issue, so the owners made sure there was ample supply of bottled water.

Fantastic Stay!
Our week’s stay at Stags Leap was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Our group (2 grandparents, 4 parents & 5 children) had everything we could hopefully want at this beautiful property. The house offered ample room for us to spread out, and the kitchen facilities were excellent. The grounds & waterfront were outstanding! The tennis/pickleball court surface was brand new, and the sand volleyball and badminton areas were enjoyed by both adults & kids. The waterfront area was a hit with everyone for both fishing and swimming. We could not have asked for a better location to enjoy our family reunion. We are looking forward to returning next year to continue the good times. Thank you Liz & Brian for such a great home, and for all you did to make it so special.

Our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration
The house was perfect! Plenty of inside and outside spaces to accommodate all ages. The sand volleyball court was especially helpful with young grandchildren. The dock made it so easy to launch our kayaks, and was a beautiful spot to rest by the water any time of day. Very well equipped and comfortable. We had a fabulous family celebration!

LDW 2020
We had an amazing stay at Stag's Leap over LDW with family and friends. We played countless games of volleyball on the sand volleyball court. Enjoyed morning kayak rides and nightly bonfires. The kitchen was amazing and comes will all the necessary tools to make gourmet meals. The home is large enough to have your own space even when vacationing with a larger group. The owners are incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. We can't wait for our next family vacation at Stag's Leap!

Glorious Week @ Stag’s Leap
Let’s say you are an extended family of 12 people of multiple generations and appetites for activities. Cooking - brand new kitchen which has been remarked on by others but deserves special mention for the great layout and nice touches like appliance garage, coffee and wine station and 2 sinks and garbage drawers. Bedrooms were well laid out and comfortable, all slept well. Screened in porch was great for late night game playing while toddler and/or great grandparents slept Tennis courts, fire pit, and dock all very well used. The ONLY caveat here is that you will be ON the channel and you will have boats putting slowly by your shore all day Sat/Sun. Overall this is fantastic place well suited for larger groups like ours who like to do some things together and some things not. Owner was great on communication at all phases.

Our large blended family loved your place. It went above and beyond our expectations! We were looking for a true “Adirondack “ vacation and were blessed by discovering your place. I see that we may have to book two years in advance to return in the month of July. Is that possible?

Best week ever!
We absolutely loved our week at Stag’s Leap. There was so much to do and we loved that there were fun options for everyone! We played volleyball, tennis, and card games. The kitchen was a fun gathering place in the evening. We brought kayaks and paddle boards and rented a pontoon boat for 5 days. We all had a wonderful time making memories together. Stag’s Leap was everything we hoped for and more!!!

About the host

Hosted by Liz O'Keefe

Host profile image
We are pleased to introduce ourselves - Brian and Liz O'Keefe. Although originally from Syracuse and Northern New York - and proud Clarkson University graduates - we raised our family in Tucson, Arizona. We still made it a point to visit the fabulous Adirondack lakes in the summer and our daughter is now a graduate of St John Fisher in Rochester. As we move toward retirement, we spend more and more time in the Adirondacks. Our local housekeeper, Maggie, and caretaker, John, long time Old Forge residents, provide nearby assistance and make it all possible.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to share family visits and for our children to enjoy the incredible Adirondack summers we experienced as kids. The contrast to our home in the Southwest Desert is breathtaking, with the lush greens, cool summer nights, and fabulous water sports. A visit to the Enchanted Forest Water Safari waterpark, located a few miles away, is often a highlight. We also enjoy the watercolor exhibit each summer at the View art gallery, and the many classes offered, from basket weaving, to pottery, to yoga. And nearby Old Forge is a wonderful active community, with fun shopping adventures and the many events scheduled on the weekends throughout all seasons.

What makes this property unique

A stay at Stags Leap is our perfect unwind, whether participating in the on-site sports, lying in the hammock, or holding a fishing rod watching the boats go by. Although the house may be filled to capacity, there is always a special place for conversations in the Adirondack chairs located about the sitting areas. Many days begin with a slow moving mist on the Channel which burns off as the sun rises. Sunny and shady sitting areas can be found throughout the day, and the evening sunset to the west - straight down the channel in late summer - is awesome from the dock and patio. Even on rainy days, the screened porch and large lodge-style living room allow for fun weather watching, puzzles, family games and movies by the cozy fireplace.
