About this property

Classic Dryland ADK Boathouse On The Shore Of Long Lake

A beautifully situated cabin with panoramic views of Long Lake and the surrounding mountains. Our seasonal retreat is built in the authentic Adirondack boathouse camp style from 1917 typical of Long Lake, and has been converted with all modern amenities required for a relaxing authentic getaway in the mountains and all that encapsulates the essence of boathouse living in this historic structure. The dryland Boathouse, built to accompany Camp Kee-oh-Nekh, sits feet from the water and housed boats during the winter months with an upstairs billiards and game room through the 1990s.

While maintaining its unique Adirondack charm, the Boathouse boasts a modern kitchen, four bedrooms that sleep eight, 1.5 baths, a spacious open floor-plan living space, 100 feet of waterfront, and a dock with deep water boat access. First-floor heating and air-conditioning are supplemented by a wood stove, which keeps the cabin cozy during cool spring and fall days but bring along extra layers for those cool mornings in the mountains for this 3 season's cabin! The beautiful natural setting is a great asset with a long and winding unpaved drive past beautiful forestland to our lakefront cabin. You will want to drive more slowly than you think to take in the beauty! The natural stone-step path brings you down the hill from the parking area to the Boathouse and water’s edge. The indoors seamlessly meets with the outdoors at the Boathouse, whether you’re relaxing in the sun at our small sandy beach, drinking your morning coffee on the deck as the mist clears over the water, or opening the tri-fold front doors to listen to boats on the lake and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

Pulling yourself away from the Boathouse can be difficult, but plenty of amenities await your exploration in the Central Adirondacks. The famous Adirondack Experience in Blue Mtn. Lake, the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, hiking up Coney Mountain, Owls Head Mountain, or Castle Rock are all great options nearby.

Oh and don't forget to enjoy lakeside campfires on the beach with the portable fire pit or in the rustic fireplace on the hill! Also, take out the included kayak or canoe for a sunrise or sunset paddle!

If you’re looking for rustic charm with laidback Adirondack comfort by the water, the Boathouse is just the place!

Neat Place

What a neat spot this is--right on the shore of the lake, with a great dock and chairs to soak in the view. The boathouse is well thought out and comfortable. We would absolutely come again!

Sept stay

Beautiful, clean, well stocked and such a great view. Steps from parking space to boathouse are true stone steps. Lots of them and can get slick when raining. Not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. Bringing small bags is smart.

Peaceful Lakeside Getaway

We always enjoy our stay at this home on Long Lake. Swimming , fishing and boating is easy from the house dock and the sandy area in front . We saw Loons, many deer, and a black bear this visit! . The owners are always concerned about guests comfort and available . We had everything we needed in the kitchen and elsewhere. Looking forward to returning.

The BEST!

We LOVE the Long Lake Boat House! The house is beautifully situated with excellent views of the lake. We had so much fun swimming, paddling, and fishing. The house is also close to town, so there are many activities (hikes, museums, day trips). Don and Liza are terrific hosts. We are already counting the days until next summer!

Nice, rustic feel place on the lake

We enjoyed our time at this cabin/boathouse. Liza was extremely communicative and helpful! The place was just as described and fit our needs and wants very well. Long Lake is absolutely beautiful and we particularly enjoyed renting a pontoon boat from Long Lake Marina for a couple of days so we could completely explore the lake! Again, we were so thankful for Liza’s replies to our texts as needed.

Camp on the hill

Nice property, great views of the lake photos were alittle misleadingly for the stone steps thought there might have been five steps turned out there are 45 steps and difficult to carry the coolers down. But once your in the cabin it is very nice, nicely stocked kitchen and enough room for all

Another Terrific Stay at the Boathouse!

We love the Long Lake Boathouse. The property is beautiful, providing comfort and an authentic Adirondack experience. Highlights include the view from the front porch, the dock, swimming, and fantastic fishing! There is so much to do on the lake and in the local community. Don and Liza are wonderful hosts. They are very communicative and attentive l, and genuinely we want their guests to have a great Adirondack vacation. This is a great spot for families with children. We are already counting the days until next year!

Great stay at Long Lake

We had a very enjoyable week at this quintessential ADK lakefront cabin. The location was great - nestled in the woods and right on the water, yet within minutes of downtown Long Lake. Our family enjoyed having two ways to enter the water from the property - wading in from the sandy beach and being able to jump in from the deep water dock. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Stay on Long Lake

We had a terrific stay on Long lake at the Boathouse. We loved the front porch and beach where we could spend all day watching the loons and boats go bye. The Boathouse is an extremely peaceful place and a perfect spot to unwind. We hope to be back again next summer!

Beautiful lake home

Had a great time staying at this lake house. We loved the beautiful views of the lake from inside the house and on the deck. We also loved that the beach was just steps off the deck. We rented a boat for the week and was able to dock it there. The house was beautiful, comfortable and clean. The host was very gracious. Would definitely go back.

All that and more

The accommodations were stellar....my wife and I have been hoping to find “the” place to meet our ideal specifications but, because we were only dreaming of what the perfect scenario might look like; we never thought we’d actually find it. THIS PLACE WAS THAT AND MORE. We will be talking about our stay and the time and the memories of it for many years to come. The owner(s) are extremely cordial and responsive. We loved the home/location and all it offered. I only wish time we had there didn’t pass so quickly.

Long Lake house was Amazing

Beautiful camp right on the water. It felt homey right away. The kids loved it. We didn't spend as much time as we wanted actually at the Long Lake House because we were there for the Classic Adirondack 90-mile race. Perfect location for that though. We needed to stay for one more week to fully have enjoyed it. Rooms were a nice size and plenty of space in the living area. Plenty of dishes, cups and pans in the kitchen to cook and have large meals at home! The large wrap around porch and boat dock was a favorite location for us. We would definitely stay again if they will have us!

Lovely Adirondack Getaway

We look forward to our stay at the Boathouse all year. The location is terrific and provides a lovely Adirondack experience for families. We enjoyed the views of beautiful Long Lake from the porch, beach, and dock. Lots of fishing, paddling, and swimming made the days full and fun. There is also so much to do nearby (ADK Museum, The Wild Center, numerous hikes, etc.) Liza and Don are wonderful hosts. They are very communicative and helpful. We absolutely love staying at the Boathouse and hope to return again!

Lovely boat house

This was a return visit for my family and the boathouse was as comfortable as ever. We were able to use our telescope for some nights of excellent star gazing from the porch and the sandy beach below, along with the busy days of kayaking, swimming, hiking and fishing. The owners are very accessible and they have made sure you can relax and enjoy this beautiful lake!

A week was not enough

We loved everything about our stay at the Boathouse. The big multi-purpose room downstairs was great for cooking and dining together and evening conversations. There was enough space for everyone on the rainy day when everyone stayed in. The house sits right at the water's edge, so you don't even need to get on the water to feel the lake's calming effect, but it was also super easy to go for a swim or a paddle. Checking out by 10 a.m. was a challenge, because the cleaning and trash runs took more time than expected, but also because of the lake's magnetic pull. We hope to be back again next year!

Boathouse getaway

We had a great time with family for the second year in a row with all the amenities needed for a rustic beachfront vacation despite unpredictable weather. Dock, beach, and deck provide outdoor spaces for all interests. Love the rainy day games available and Wifi! The views from nearly every window are just what we needed to escape amidst a stressful year. We nearly forgot there was a pandemic for a week and it was perfect.
