Beach/Hot Tub! Family Lake House
The house was amazing, just like the photos! Had plenty of room for the two of us along with our Daughter and our two Grandchildren. The girls enjoyed the hot tub, and swimming in the lake! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to rent for their vacation! My only wish was it was on the water! I love looking out the window to see the water!

Spacious Lake Front House
Barbara’s peaceful cabin was absolutely gorgeous. We loved every minute of our stay. Beautiful scenery and right next to the lake. The cabin is also only a short distance from the Lapland skiing center and therefore an ideal location for all cross country skiing fans. Barbara was extremely responsive and answered all our questions. We are hoping to come back in the summer

The Wobbly Cabin
Stayed Wobbly Cabin with my sister to relax and recharge and it was perfect! The cabin is cozy, beautiful and has great amenities.

Adirondack retreat!
Stephen is a fantastic host with a great spot overlooking the lake. We traveled with three kids under 4 and were very comfortable and welcomed very warmly. Anything we needed or needed to know, Stephen provided and then some. We all cant wait to come back! Thanks, Stephen and Co!

Adirondack Lakehouse in Northville, NY
It was a great place to stay!!! It was comfortable and clean. You have to either drive to water or be able To walk a very big hill. There is a dog next door that will bark if anyone gets up very early so that may be a negative if you have young kids that may wake. It's a large dog so very Loud bark, it did wake the kids in the home but there is only so much you can do about these things. There are no cleats (well one small one) on the dock but there are some Pillars if you have a large boat, I believe the dock is more for kayaks and small Boats but my 25 ft tritoon fit. The owner is very responsive and helpful. It's a way to be on the water in a private setting. The downstairs owner is very very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back! Well worth it.

Mountain House at Shumaker MT
Melanie is a wonderful host. She was responsive and made sure we had correct directions as this is a secluded home. She stopped by with a welcoming gift and was genuinely friendly. The home has been recently renovated and was quite honestly nicer than I expected knowing the area. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.

The Sacandaga Lakeside Escape - Renovated 2024!
Great home with beautiful view. Visited in winter and was great, imagine summer would also be amazing!

Spectacular Adirondack home!
Mary's home was a wonderful place for families. We attended my niece's wedding at Oak Mountain, and Mary's home was able to accommodate multiple extended family members. Everyone had their own bedroom and the open-concept kitchen/living room was the perfect gathering space. The kitchen was nicely appointed, and the kids had a ball playing in the finished basement which was equipped with a foosball table and board games. The location was peaceful and quiet yet only a 7 minute drive to the village of Speculator and Oak Mountain. We wish we had more time to explore the local hiking trails and Lake Pleasant. We highly recommend Mary's home as a great value for large families or family reunions.

Your guide to Caroga Lake
All About Caroga Lake
Situated between two lakes — Caroga Lake and East Caroga Lake — the small town of Caroga Lake is a popular summer destination tucked away in the foothills of the northeastern part of upstate New York's Adirondack Mountains. People have flocked to this area for generations, mainly from nearby Utica, Albany, and New York at large. And it’s easy to understand why, given its scenic hiking trails, including one to Kane Mountain and its Fire Tower, fresh-water swimming, mountain biking, and boating opportunities, all surrounded by deciduous forests and natural beauty.
This unincorporated community is also home to an 18-hole municipal golf course, a history museum, and several restaurants, many of which regularly host live music for enjoyment after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. For even more lake-bound activities, several bodies of water are easily accessible just outside of town, like Irving Pond, Canada Lake, West Lake, and Pine Lake.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Caroga Lake
Caroga Lake's northern East Coast climate comes with drastic swings in temperature and precipitation between the seasons. From mid-April through the end of September, conditions are warm and pleasant for various outdoor activities, making this an excellent time to look for NY cabin rentals. The summer is also when the local music festival takes place. This annual five-week event hosts several local, regional, and nationally-known musical acts, interactive experiences, and professional artists on the shores of the lake for the town's residents and visitors to enjoy. Precipitation in the area is above the national average during the shoulder seasons, and snowfall is more than double the national average during the winter. Despite Caroga Lake's reputation as a summer getaway, however, with the snowfall and below-freezing temperatures comes several opportunities for skiing and snowshoeing on the surrounding hills.
Top things to do in Caroga Lake
Kane Mountain Fire Tower
This fire lookout tower constructed in 1925, was eventually decommissioned for government use, and in 2001 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the tower and the cabin that sits atop mark the endpoint of a moderately difficult one-mile hike that treats visitors with the option of climbing the stairs and exploring the cabin. Once inside, you can check out the stunning vistas afforded by this 60-foot-tall structure.
Caroga Historical Association Museum
The Caroga Historical Museum was opened in 1977 to collect and preserve the area's history and culture. Exhibits recreate life from an older time with historically accurate pole barns, a farmhouse, a cobbler shop, and an icehouse. Beyond the exhibits and displays, an annual crafts fair takes place in July, and in August, you can attend a concert and ice cream social.
Shaker Mountain Wild Forest
This 40,000-acre area is the southernmost unit of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, and it’s full of outdoor recreational opportunities to explore. Dozens of miles of trails are available for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding during the summer. While the winter provides snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling routes. If you’re interested in spending time on the water, you can paddle the lakes and river systems, and you’ll also find fishing opportunities.
