"I plan to tell everyone I meet that their next vacation house has to have a screened-in porch with a large fireplace. What a great vacation (I caught 4 fish in 1/2 hour)" 2006 Winter Guest |
Nestled in one of Rainbow Lake’ s many bays, this classic Adirondacks lake house offers a rustic retreat with all the comforts of home. Rainbow Lake is a lovely, quiet place 12 miles northwest of Saranac Lake and a 30-minute drive from Lake Placid. |
This is a traditional log cabin with a cut granite fireplace in the great room, an outdoor cobblestone fireplace in the screened porch, and a wood burning stove in the family room. The sun is hot during the day and the multiple fireplaces keep you warm on chilly nights. The bugs have disappeared and the foliage is absolutely amazing. With all of the water activities, hiking and quality family time it is hard to find a better way to spend time together. Walk out the sliding glass doors, down the landscaped path and across the wooden bridge to your very own private island where a complimentary rowboat, kayak, 2 canoes and fishing dock are provided. Everyone will enjoy having lunch on the island, swimming to the floating raft off the island, and launching one of the many boats to explore all of Rainbow Lake. At night relax after dinner under the stars on the back porch or enjoy dining or relaxing in front of the cobblestone fireplace on the screened sitting porch. Privacy and the sense of exploration is all yours. Fifty yards from our dock is 2 miles of undeveloped and protected state land. In fact after you pass the two houses at the 2 mile mark, there are many more miles of waterfront, land and islands to explore, camp and picnic. |
