Description of the Raquette Lake vacation cottage rental
Does vacation or get-away time get any better than quiet time at The Loft in Raquette Lake? Located in the tiny hamlet of Raquette Lake, Hamilton County, Central Adirondacks of Northern New York, The Loft makes an ideal hub for whatever winter sport you fancy. Be it snowmobiling, alpine or nordic skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or winter hiking, access to necessary facilities is only minutes away from The Loft. Finnish Sauna on property to soothe those muscles; nights so quiet you can hear the lake making ice; sky so starry you vow to take up astronomy and learn those constellations!
2 bedrooms: MB with queen bed and 1/2 bath. Bunk room with 4 built-in bunks and full bath.
LR/DR with wood-burning fireplace (we provide wood) & satellite TV. Internet.
Kitchen with full cooking and dining utensils for six, our maximum occupancy.
Heated snowmobile storage in downstairs garage. Plenty of parking.
Direct access to groomed snowmobile trails.
Lake Placid and Lake George are just 90 minutes drive; Wild Center at Tupper Lake just 50 min; Old Forge 30 min.
When you choose to vacation or get-away in the Adirondacks, you're choosing a 6 million acre state park made up of privately and publicly owned land. The Adirondack State Park is the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states. Driving is a way of life. Think about it- you can't have remote, pristine wilderness within 1/2 hour drive of a major city! Raquette Lake is centrally located: 2.5 hr drive from Albany, Syracuse, Burlington (Vt) or Plattsburgh; 1.5 hr drive from Utica/Rome, Lake George or Lake Placid; 1/2 hr drive from Old Forge, Indian Lake or Long Lake. But the effort is worth it! When you get here, you've entered sacred space.
The State land is constitutionally protected from any kind of development- thus "forever wild." Raquette Lake, with 99 miles of shoreline, is the largest natural lake in the Adirondacks. 80% of the shoreline is owned by the State so you won't see many camps or people- just pristine shoreline, woods and wildlife. Besides the obvious outdoor recreation opportunities there aren't many other forms of entertainment and cultural and historical experiences in winter. Visit the brand new Natural History Museum in Tupper Lake, the Wild Center! Have a bowl of chili on the Durant, frozen boat in Raquette Lake ice during winter. The Arts Center in Blue Mountain Lake offers a modified schedule of programs, concerts, classes and shows in winter. Lake Placid and the Winter Olympic venues are just 75 miles north- a nice day trip. Other day trip possibilities include Lake George, Inlet and Old Forge with activity, shopping and dining options galore!
People come to this part of the Adirondacks to enjoy winter sports or to experience solitude or both. It's quiet. It's not commercial. It's a different world.
