Come home to our home! Join other families who return year after year to the unspoiled Great Sacandaga Lake to experience the fresh air,
wide open skies with spectacular sunsets, and unique encounters in the midst of nature at its best. Our country home is on the northeast
shore of Great Sacandaga Lake and at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. We have a private beach area with dock, boat, and canoe
and plenty of shoreline to have lakeside games and picnics. Just relax on the waterfront with your book while the sun gently caresses your
body or head out on the lake with your fishing rod or binoculars to catch the many species offish or birds.
The house can easily sleep eight in the three bedrooms (two double beds and two twin beds) and one pull out sleeper in the sunroom. We
have a large updated eat-in country kitchen fully equipped with utensils and dishware, refrigerator, stove, microwave, and an additional sink
for food or beverage preparation. For rainy days and relaxation, there is a library of books, board games, puzzles, binoculars, and a toasty
woodstove for you to use. Other features include antique furniture, hardwood floors with area rugs, cushioned couches and chairs, picture
windows with wood shudders, gas grill, stereo for cassettes or CDs, DVD and VHS player, large bath with sink, shower, and a vanity. For
the last minute items that you might have forgotten, you may find them here or at the grocery store and gas station conveniently located just
a mile or so down the road.
Vacation activities are right at your fingertips. You don't even have to get into your car again. At our lakeside retreat, whether you are a family,
couple, or have a significant other, there is plenty to do and lots of room for everyone to find their own personal space in the comforts of our
home. Catch the breeze from the front porch, gaze lakeside from the sunroom, charbroil on the back deck, watch the flames dance in the
Franklin stove in the family room, cook gourmet meals in the kitchen, or take a nap on a chaise lounge. Are playing games more your
speed? Then, take out the bocce ball, badminton, or croquet sets and play on the front lawn. Perhaps you would like to engage in some
daily exercise? Head down to the beach for swimming, hike the numerous trails or spend time paddling around the shoreline of the lake.
The surrounding area offers you all the amenities you need to have a choice in your vacation retreat. We are located at the foothills of the six
million acre Adirondack State Park where you can roam the 8, 000 square miles of mountains, hike the 2,000 miles of foot trails, fish in the
30,000 miles of brooks and streams, canoe, kayak, or white water raft on the 1,500 miles of rivers, or just spend time spying on nature to
catch a glimpse of the 220 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles and amphibians, or over 50 species of furry animals. For those of you
who enjoy a climb or a backpack trip into the wilderness, take on Marcy and Algonquin Peaks which are the highest in the Adirondack
Mountain Range.
Looking for a place for a day trip? Take a short 25-mile jaunt to the Victorian city of Saratoga Springs well known as a health resort because
of its natural mineral springs and spas. There is something for everyone in Saratoga Springs as it is home to thoroughbred racing at the
Saratoga Race Course, the Performing Arts Center offering theater, orchestra, jazz, opera, and contemporary artists, the New York City
Ballet, museums, Yaddo Rose Gardens, Westport Country and Saratoga National Golf Clubs, American Revolution Battlefields, Skidmore
College, antique shops, and some of the best bistros and restaurants outside of New York City.
Children and adults alike also want to take a short 30 minute drive to Lake George for the thrill of riding one of the six roller coasters at the
Great Escape or getting wet at Splashwater Kingdom. Lake George also offers steamboat cruises touring Lake George, parasailing
excursions, horse drawn buggies, balloon flights, white-water rafting, horseback riding, and miniature golf.
Just like Dorothy said, "there is no place like home", and you will feel right at home at our enchanted lakeside retreat.

TRANQUILITY
Do you know what we offer you at our year-round vacation retreat? At Tranquility, we have just the place for you, your family and friends, or a
significant other! A quiet location to relax, unwind, and chill out OR a vacation spot where you can find all the adventure and discoveries you
are seeking. At our home, you can find a secluded place of your own or gather with family and friends to enjoy many exciting and fun
activities. We have included information below relating to our home and the surrounding Adirondack Area to help you with your vacation
needs and desires.
SETTINGS/ACCOMMODATIONS: Our country cottage comfortable sleeps six and offers many amenities that will surprise you. You are
nestled in a private setting where a stream runs through the property. The sound of the babbling water soothes and calms you just enough
to get you ready for a day’s adventure or a day’s relaxation on the sun porch. You might want to give those sore muscles a rejuvenating
Jacuzzi. Maybe you just want to wade in the stream and splash some pure, clean Adirondack Mountain water all other you. If you decide on
a day of adventure like boating, kayaking, and fishing, well it is down to the lake you go to your own private beach, deck, and dock for water
sports. If you like hiking, skiing or snowmobiling, these activities are also practically at our doorstep as they abound in the Great
Sacandaga Lake Area.
OUTDOOR PURSUITS: Bring your own motor boat as you can launch close by and tie up at our buoy. Don’t have a boat? Don’t worry. You
can use our rowboat or rent a motorboat with tubes and water skis right down the road. There is also white water rafting on the Hudson
and Sacandaga Rivers just a few miles away. You might want to catch a Northern Pike, Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pickerel, Musky, or
Walleyed Pike in Great Sacandaga Lake or in the many lakes, rivers, and streams that are abundant here in the Adirondack Park . Also, you
may want to visit Cabela’s to get geared up.
RELAXATION: Prefer not to join in all the physical activities? You might enjoy a mineral bath, massage therapy, or body treatments at the
Roosevelt Baths and Spa in Saratoga Springs . While you are in Saratoga , how about visiting the Outlet Vendors, Crafts stores, and
antique shops or get out your bonnet and head to the races to see a thoroughbred horse race on an historic racetrack? We are only 30
minutes from Saratoga Springs where racing has been an attraction for over 100 years and some of the best thoroughbred racehorses can
be found. This historic racetrack is only open for thoroughbred racing for 6 weeks; so, book your week early.
ROMANCE: Looking for a romantic weekend away with your significant other? Cozy up in front of our woodstove or swirl around in the
Jacuzzi. We have many fine restaurants in the area with gourmet food. Maybe you want to prepare a special meal for a special person?
Check out the Saratoga Farmer’s Market open May through December on Wednesdays and Saturdays at High Rock Park to choose your
culinary delights. Another possibility is a dreamy Steamboat ride on Lake George while enjoying dinner and dancing.
CONCERTS: A great attraction of the area is the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Route 50 in Saratoga Springs . The SPAC is the
summer home of The New York City Ballet and The Philadelphia Orchestra as well as the location of many chamber, pop, jazz, and opera
concerts including pop performances of Earth, Wind, and Fire; Tom Petty; Meat Loaf; Motley Crue; and The Dave Mathews Band. Congress
Park off Broadway in Saratoga has many multicultural events including free concerts in the park and guided walking tours. Furthermore, you
can also attend concerts and plays at The Arts Center Theatre on Broadway and Skidmore College . For more information, check out
saratoga.org.
HISTORY: Are you a history buff? Well then, step back in time and visit Saratoga State Park , Adirondack Museum , The Ulysses S. Grant
State Historic site, Fort Ticonderoga as well as the Schuyler House in Schuylerville. These historic sites/museums are fun for the whole
family as you can see and participate in hands-on exhibits of barn raising, oxen cart rides, quilting, candle making, battle reenactments,
tinsmithing, blacksmithing, and much more.
SUMMARY: There is so much to do year round that you will want to visit each season. April starts fishing season; May delivers a beautiful
spring month of flora; in June, Lake George has its annual Americade motorcycle rally or check out the Factory Outlet Stores; July fireworks
on Lake George is impressive; July/August/September swimming, boating, and the Saratoga Race Track; September is still good fishing;
October foliage is spectacular- take the train ride to really appreciate it; November Get-a-ways are popular before the stressful holiday
season; and December is sharing special moments with those special some ones; and in January/February/March, we are either on snow
or ice doing what winter is all about – hard water fishing, snowmobiling, Nordic and Down Hill skiing. We look forward to seeing you at
Tranquility.

Katherine,
I had to tell you how much we enjoyed your cottage. It was lovely
and most comfortable. Marilyn and I relaxed there after very long
days in Glenns Falls at the seminar and loved that we were not in
a hotel. It was a wonderful accommodation and the ride back and
forth was spectacular. The seminar was fabulous! Our only regret
was that the weather was so dreary that we did not get any time
out in your lovely yard although we had morning tea on the front
sun porch every day. (Your Harry Lauder walking sticks are to die
for). It must be a beautiful place in summer.
Thank you - we will fondly think of your place on Horse Hill and
happily recommend it to all.
Jean
