Bear Den - scenic Adirondack cabin escape + lake access

Welcome to Bear Den – your idyllic Adirondack haven nestled amidst breathtaking mountain scenery, and moments from the tranquil shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake. Embrace the quintessential Adirondack retreat experience, all while relishing the modern convenience of high-speed Wi-Fi and seamless streaming services. Not to mention, enjoy exclusive access to our 77-foot beachfront, providing you with an oasis to soak in the serenity of this remarkable natural setting.
_____________________________
The Space: Step into the Bear Den, a rustic haven where every inch exudes Adirondack charm, enveloping you in the mountain oasis you've always envisioned. Crafted with knotty pine, this cabin boasts traditional Adirondack décor that transports you to a bygone era of cozy mountain getaways. The main living area, adorned with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows, bathes the space in natural light, while a versatile loft area awaits above, offering the perfect retreat for an additional bedroom, playroom, or tranquil workspace.

Our cabin accommodates up to 8 guests with 2 queen-size beds in private bedrooms and 4 twin beds in the loft, ensuring everyone enjoys a comfortable night's rest. No need to debate over sleeping arrangements, as we've designed this space to cater to your comfort.

You’ll feel right at home in the open kitchen, where all of the cookware, utensils, and dishware you’ll need for your culinary adventures. Whether you're whipping up a meal from scratch, ordering takeout, or grilling on the patio (our personal favorite, propane is provided), you'll feel right at home here.

As for entertainment, remember our mention of streaming? Utilize the Roku device on the living room's flat-screen TV, granting you access to your preferred streaming services in Guest Mode. No worries about logging out; technology handles it for you. Enhance the ambiance by flicking on the gas stove fireplace and cuddle up for a cozy movie night.

Rest assured, we've taken care of all your essential needs, from towels and a hair dryer to soap, napkins, coffee, and more.

Now, let's embark on a lakeside adventure! Nestled along the shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake, our property offers a 77-foot beachfront shared among the four homes on our charming cul-de-sac. A mere three-minute stroll from the cabin leads you to the beach, accessible via the driveway or the scenic Lake Trail behind the house. Be sure to exercise caution when crossing the road and keep a watchful eye on children, both on the road and by the lake. Feel free to bring your own chairs, floaties, and activities to amplify the fun.

Our cabin is the realization of a lifelong dream—a cherished lake house retreat. We're thrilled to share a slice of our dream with you during your stay, creating memories that will linger long after you've left Adirondack Escape.

Noteworthy Items:
Navigating the Natural Terrain: To ensure your safety and convenience, the entrance and exit to the Adirondack Escape property feature a gently sloping driveway. Our dedicated community diligently clears this access point during inclement weather, such as snowfall, to facilitate safe passage for residents and guests. While we make every effort to maintain accessibility, it's worth noting that challenging weather conditions may pose difficulties for vehicles without four-wheel drive. For a worry-free experience, especially during regional inclement weather seasons, we highly recommend utilizing a vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding travel conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us; we're here to assist you.

Your Safety Matters: Rest assured, we prioritize your security and peace of mind. To maintain a secure environment, our cabins are equipped with exterior cameras. These cameras are exclusively positioned on the exterior of the cabins and do not intrude upon your privacy inside the accommodations.

Sacandaga Lake, a captivating man-made reservoir, is subject to variations in water levels due to weather patterns. Consequently, the extent of beachfront exposure may fluctuate during your stay, depending on the time of year.

Seasonal Comfort: Please be mindful that outdoor patio and beach furniture are thoughtfully stored during the seasonal months between November and April.

“Think of it as perfect” says my wife
Seriously, this cabin is awesome, the hosts are absolutely top notch, and you shouldn’t think twice about it. We stayed here for the holidays and had a great time. The wooden cabin is decorated in perfect Adirondacks style and the high ceilings and windows give a great airy yet cozy feel. The back patio is essentially you having morning coffee or your evening fire straight into nature. The grill is awesome and the the entire place has got lots or personal touches. The owners were very helpful and showed plenty of flexibility around our needs. I am telling you, this is an awesome place. We can’t wait to be back! Thanks so much guys.

Serenity at Great Sacandaga Lake
Sarah & TJ are responsive and attentive hosts--from the welcome gift to their immediate response to any questions we had. The house is clean and tidy as well as having a well-equipped kitchen. The unit is set back from the main highway and the lake is a short walk across the street. There are two units on either side of Bear Den and we heard little noise from our neighbors. We enjoyed the firepit, too! Thanks, Sarah & TJ for your hospitality!
