About this property

Adirondack 6 BR/4B Waterfront w/ Tennis Court, Sand VB Court & Dock/Boat House

A recently renovated recreational paradise on the water in the Adirondacks with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. The "Adirondack Stags Leap" vacation home was built as a large single-family summer home in the 1930's in the historic Adirondack "Camp" style, with major renovations in 2016-2019. It was designed by a well-known Adirondack architect on a double lot that includes a wooded area, private tennis court, volleyball courts (sand & grass), large yard, fire pit, boathouse with dock and wide waterfront. This camp offers incredible recreation and living space for multiple families, couples, friends, or extended families alike. It is ideal for a revitalizing spring, a fun-filled summer and an adventurous autumn and the famous Adirondack color-changing leaves. We have magnificent trees on sight and the fall view of the hillside across the Channel is a must-see.

The Camp includes a comfortable lodge-style living room with fireplace and wide screen TV with cable with a selection of movie channels, a brand new large kitchen with island seating 6, and a dining area with antique table seating at least 8-10. The kitchen opens up to a large deck (one of two decks) with picnic tables and barbecue nearby and traditional Adirondack chairs. Three of the 6 bedrooms offer king-size beds (linens provided) with private or semi-private bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms offer 2 twin beds each, one of which is on the first floor with easy access. an en-suite bathroom and TV. The sixth bedroom is a bunk room with two bunk beds; both beds are full-size on bottom and regular-twin on top. The home is fully heated with dual modern furnaces, if needed.

Outdoor living features a large screened-in porch with seating and a table, a sitting deck, the previously mentioned enormous off-kitchen deck, patio area and a large front lawn, providing ample space to read a book, hold great conversations, or just watch and wave as the boats go by on the channel. The property covers approximately 2.5 acres and includes rustic woods, private tennis & picketball court with basketball hoop, sand volleyball court, grass volleyball/badminton area (or bocce lawn), fire pit, patio sitting areas, waterfront dock, and a boat house with an open slip. We do not provide watercraft, but you are welcome to bring your own or rent from many local businesses - from paddle boats and kayaks to speed boats, and most things in between.

An attached laundry (accessible off the kitchen stoop) includes 2 washers/dryers for ample laundry capacity. The garage, accessed by ramp from the laundry, has a ping pong table, tennis gear, and badminton rackets. A few balls are also available for the basketball hoop, volleyball court and kicking around.

Stags Leap delivers again
This is a repeat stay at Stags Leap. It is the quintessential adirondacks lodge with a fully updated kitchen that is great for gatherings. Close to town yet private, this property provides entertainment and relaxation options that made our stay wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Liz O'Keefe

Host profile image
We are pleased to introduce ourselves - Brian and Liz O'Keefe. Although originally from Syracuse and Northern New York - and proud Clarkson University graduates - we raised our family in Tucson, Arizona. We still made it a point to visit the fabulous Adirondack lakes in the summer and our daughter is now a graduate of St John Fisher in Rochester. As we move toward retirement, we spend more and more time in the Adirondacks. Our local housekeeper, Maggie, and caretaker, John, long time Old Forge residents, provide nearby assistance and make it all possible.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to share family visits and for our children to enjoy the incredible Adirondack summers we experienced as kids. The contrast to our home in the Southwest Desert is breathtaking, with the lush greens, cool summer nights, and fabulous water sports. A visit to the Enchanted Forest Water Safari waterpark, located a few miles away, is often a highlight. We also enjoy the watercolor exhibit each summer at the View art gallery, and the many classes offered, from basket weaving, to pottery, to yoga. And nearby Old Forge is a wonderful active community, with fun shopping adventures and the many events scheduled on the weekends throughout all seasons.

What makes this property unique

A stay at Stags Leap is our perfect unwind, whether participating in the on-site sports, lying in the hammock, or holding a fishing rod watching the boats go by. Although the house may be filled to capacity, there is always a special place for conversations in the Adirondack chairs located about the sitting areas. Many days begin with a slow moving mist on the Channel which burns off as the sun rises. Sunny and shady sitting areas can be found throughout the day, and the evening sunset to the west - straight down the channel in late summer - is awesome from the dock and patio. Even on rainy days, the screened porch and large lodge-style living room allow for fun weather watching, puzzles, family games and movies by the cozy fireplace.
