About this house rental

We would like to welcome you to picturesque Brant Lake, NY and our lovingly restored vacation home. Imagine rounding the bend on a tree lined Adirondack road and seemingly driving into the perfect postcard photo. The first sight you see is water pouring over a small dam under a flower lined pedestrian bridge. Past the dam you see a fountain in the center of a pond surrounded by a small village with old houses, church steeples, a lifeguard stand on a small beach and a historic stone library built out into the water. This is the Mill Pond area of Brant Lake. Driving around the first corner, just steps from Mill Pond, you see the wraparound porch, picket fence, dormers and gables of a vintage Adirondack home so beautiful you can’t help but want to stop and just sit on one of the rocking chairs lining the front porch. As you get closer and are admiring the home's original stained glass windows you see the house number on the post and realize this is the house where you will be spending your vacation.

Built in 1826 this was the home of a prominent local businessman. Passed down through generations of the same family. We were able purchase the home from them in 2022 to become our families vacation home, hopefully for generations to come. After a full year of hard work this home has been restored to its former glory. The work was done with the goal of keeping the original historic feel of the home, but with all the modern amenities of today's homes. Imagine walking across 200 year old wide plank floors, past an antique fainting couch, and laying down on a brand new king size bed all while the central air conditioning keeps you cool on a hot summer day.

There were 3 couples who stayed for the week. The house was very comfortable, especially the wonderful porch. We come to the area every year to bike and hike. Great biking trails right from the house! I would definately stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2024
This was a great stay. The owner has taken great pains in their renovations after buying the house to make it very comfortable and modern, while retaining the best of the old. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable and so many great amenities available - and plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, anything you could want or need. We will go back again!
