  The front of the house from between the trees in the corner. It's a romantic view of the house, which has since had shutters installed.

  Full chef's kitchen with bar seating area. This is the breathing heart of the house, you turn around and there's the view over the lake.
• 
  This little gas fireplace is so cozy in the winter. We sit and look out at sunrise and sunset across the lake from the five windows, a great view!

  Living Room with Large Flat Screen TV
• 
  Living room seeing through into the kitchen and dining areas. That corner hutch holds the flat screen tv
• 
  The dining table right off the kitchen expands to feed your group of six, or play games, or just sit and relax.
• 
  Farmhouse is a combo of modern and antique, about as eclectic as we can make it. This is the top of the stairs, where I sit and read by the window overlooking the lake.
• 
  Master Bedroom with View, Master Bath
• 
  Master Bedroom with Queen Bed, Private Bath, Gorgeous View!
• 
  Third bedroom. We call this the Pine Room, and the bed is handmade by a renowned furniture maker. We've added some more art, too, come check it out.
• 
  We painted it PEACH. We love color and eclectic looks, so we went for it with the second bedroom.
• 
  Upstairs half bath in the hall for the two other bedrooms, behind a pocket door.
• 
  Sizable front porch, several areas for sitting and watching the birds in the front yard.
• 
  I like to sit on the chaise with my coffee in the mornings, reading and checking out the birds on the front lawn.
• 
  The Adirondack high peaks on an October morning (yes that's snow!) from the summit of Snowy Mountain, a climb just south of Indian Lake that is harder than many of the 46'ers.
• 
  Lake Algonquin from above in early autumn, a great time to hike!
• 
  From the lake, you can see how the house perches upon a little hill surrounded by tall pines, in the late afternoon sun.
• 
  Our View
• 
  Local Waterfall
• 
  Back of the house. I call it the front, but it's technically the back, with a sunny porch.
• 
  The snowy landscape of Farmhouse in the winter. Early in the season, so pretty.

Gorgeous lake views, peace and serenity found in this exceptionally comfortable 1880's farmhouse. 

Lake Algonquin is stunning, and The Farmhouse has just about the nicest view of it. Enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake, swim, kayak or hike to local waterfalls. 

Please note: this is a NO ANIMALS, smoking or entertaining property.

The downstairs is an open floor plan, with beautiful lake views, an easy propane fireplace and sitting area so the cook can converse with everyone. Great farmhouse sink, 5 burner gas stove, dishwasher, expansive wood counter space with breakfast bar. Very nice pots, pans, dishes, glassware, spices and other amenities provided. There is a separate living area with sofa and 40" flat screen for watching Netflix movies. 

Upstairs master bedroom has cathedral ceilings, queen bed, private bath with deep soaking tub and great lake views. Two guest bedrooms each have one double bed and use of 1/2 bath in upstairs hallway, another full bath is downstairs.

This house is decorated with antiques, original artwork and exceptionally comfortable furnishings. We share detailed directions to fun waterfalls, hikes and places that you might not find otherwise. You will have binoculars, snowshoes, kayaks, canoe, Sonos music, grill and lots of other fun things. 

The yard out by the lake is where we spend our time, soaking in the sun, the view, toasting marshmallows and BBQ'ing. There is a local road between our house and the lake, but we are above it and it is somewhat obscured. 

SPRING, SUMMER and FALL
Favorite activities include daily walks around the lake, hikes and swimming in waterfalls, kayaking out front (you drag the kayaks across the road, launch them there). Public fishing dock is out front. Swimming access is across the road, It is a bit rocky, bring water shoes, or public sand beach is one mile away. 2 kayaks and canoe provided. Rent more in town. Free tennis and basketball courts within walking distance.

FALL FOLIAGE is SPECTACULAR from The Farmhouse. We have unobstructed views of the color filled mountains, doubled by the reflection of these mountains on the lake, really is a sight to see!

WINTER
Winter is magical! Cozy and warm inside, great sporting opportunities right out your front door. Snowshoe or cross country ski across the lake or on one of many local trails. Lapland Lake is a world class cross country resort with authentic Finnish food. Downhill ski at family friendly Oak Mt. or fabulous Gore Mt. Ice fishing, snowmobiling, and winter hiking to local waterfalls are favorite activities. There are ice car races on the lake on occassional Sundays that can be viewed from the sofa, or go out and watch them up close and personal, very exciting to see! 

4 sets of snowshoes provided.

This is snowmobile country, you can sled from here to Canada on groomed trails. Rentals and guided tours available. Experiencing the Adirondack woods in winter, riding over lakes and stopping in at different Pubs for a pint and a stew can be great fun. Highly recommended.
