Cozy cottage with pool, walking distance to lake

Cozy cottage with pool, fire-pit, and a short walk to the lake. Enjoy a relaxing stay at our home exploring the lake and local eateries, or a fun family getaway at the pool. Just a short drive to your winter fun at Jiminy Peak for skiing, or Saratoga during track Season. Minutes to the Crooked Lake House for your wedding stays. Don't forget your four legged family members, while you're snowshoeing, or swimming at the lake. With WIFI and A/C you can tele-work, while sitting pool side this summer.

Perfect Upstate retreat. The house was spacious enough for the whole family and offered total privacy just outside the city. Chatty mornings around the dining room table and kitchen island were the highlight. Highly recommend for a family weekend!

Highly Enjoyable Averill Park Cottage by Sand Lake

Our week at the house was great fun and pleasure-filled. Between the spacious den and kitchen/dining room, there are pretty much all the comforts of home. The bedrooms are small, but comfortable and each has its own AC. The landscaping, flora and fauna (2 beautiful white-tailed deer) are delightful. The lake is lovely and readily accessible for kayaking. But, best of all, the pool makes for invigorating swims and cozy book reading/internet browsing. The owner, Stephen C.,, is very communicative and accommodating. Just the kind of owner you hope to work with. He lives nearby, so if you ever need him for whatever reason, he's prompt and 100% reliable.

The Perfect Weekend Getaway

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house with pool! The pool was very large and was refreshing on a hot summer day. The homeowner provided beach towels and floats which was great. There is a large umbrella and chaise lounges poolside. Everything was so well maintained - lots of pretty flowers. One day during our stay it had rained so we chilled out in a large living room with comfy couches and a nice TV. It was very peaceful there and we were able to enjoy time away from the hustle & bustle of life! The bedrooms were super comfortable - equipped with a ceiling fan and A/C. The shower was large and they provided shampoo & body wash - very nice touch. We were so happy to be able to spend time here, and are looking forward to our weekend getaway next year! Thank you, Stephen! 5 Stars!!!!!

Beautiful area

This place was perfect for what we needed, short walk to the lake with a lot of fishing spots, the area couldn’t be more tranquil! The house is gorgeous and the back yard with all the wildlife was breathtaking. I’d definitely book this again

Relaxing getaway!

This vacation rental was amazing choice for our family vacation! The house was very clean & well kept! We loved the nice pool & that everyroom had AC that you can adjust to your needs. Almost everything you need was there for you already. We brought grind coffee but they had Keurig machine & coffee pods. It ran out quickly but we got more since supermarket is only 8 min away. Also the host, Stephen was very quick at responding when you need something. We really enjoyed the stay! It would be nice if Stephen can stock up one larger frying pan & straight edge knife for cooking for future guests.

The pictures do not do this property justice. We were very impressed with the details of the host . The home is very inviting and beautiful , we truly felt at home. From a very sweet welcome sign to having everything you can imagine available in the home for it’s guests and pets. Loved exploring the beautiful town and it’s local farms. I would definitely rent again . As my four year old said “I want to stay here for a million hours!” 🤣🤣
