Our family rented this home for Labor Weekend and had an amazing time! Being right on the water with access to canoes and kayaks, watching the ducks and listening to the sounds of the lake is awesome. We had a very relaxing time, enjoying a campfire every night and sitting on the enclosed porch during the rain with the fireplace going to take off the chill. The house is clean and very well equipped! Will definitely rent again!

Relax and Enjoy!
Despite so-so weather, we all enjoyed our week at Longview: sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the dock taking in the fresh mountain air, taking daily walks around Lake Algonquin, kayaking, fishing and having campfires at night. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and has a very well-equipped kitchen. We also appreciated having cable TV and Verizon cell service. We'd highly suggest a hike to Auger Falls which is just 3 miles north on route 30. Also, check out the Hope Diner for breakfast, south of Wells on route 30.

Cozy Cabin with great extras!
Barbara and Jim were welcoming and checked in to see if we had any questions. We had 6 people for three days in this cozy cabin. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen, finding all the equipment we needed. We played multiple board games by the fire in the living room. The chairs and couch in the living room are exceptionally comfortable and the fireplace warms everything up quickly. We made a fire in the fire pit both nights. There were plenty of towels provided, sheets and blankets on all the beds, convenient recycling bins, and a large back porch that would be great in warmer weather. Check in and out was easy. Over all, we had a blast and would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Peaceful and Relaxing place
We (5 adults) stayed for a short 3days/2 nights but had a wonderful time. The house was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped (we cooked every day). The lake was very peaceful; no large/noisy boats. We wished we could have stayed longer. Thanks Barbara for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

Visit Longview, our year round lake front home in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, located on quiet Lake Algonquin in the town of Wells. Enjoy crisp cool Fall days and star filled nights around the campfire. Summer fun includes swimming, boating, hiking. Lake George is less than an hour away. Saratoga even closer. Autumn brings breathtaking colors and fabulous mountain views, hunting and hiking. The home is recently renovated (so no pets, please) with updated kitchen and bathrooms and appliances, stainless pots and pans, new floors, lots of charm, and working fireplace (gas insert) in the living room. Step out onto the large screened-in porch facing the lake and private dock. Ski at nearby Oak Mt. or Gore Mt. which is 30 mins. away. Snowmobile trails nearby. Watch the deer on the lake at sundown during the winter. Rest and relax in the mountains with the lake outside your door surrounded by nature.
