The water as warm for swimming, the fishing was good, and there were very few bugs. The cabin was very comfortable and well stocked with all the pans and dishes we needed for meals. The pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle board and hot tub were all put to good use. All in all, a great trip. ##### Jon J.

Cozy lake front cabin with a swim area near the dock and a pontoon boat which was perfect for exploring the lake. Nice quiet area, amazing views, clean and well maintained. The kitchen was very well equipped and provided everything we needed to prepare our meals. Bring your own drinking water. The wood burning stove kept us warm and added to the cozy feel. Amazing views of the lake and trees from the many, large windows. The hot tub near the water was relaxing. Perfect place to spend a Fall weekend. ##### Dan M.

We’ve rented at a number of cottages on Trout Lake and this is among our favorites. We love the waterfront, the fire pit, the hot tub and the rustic nature of the cottage. It only has one bathroom, but the bathroom is very nice. We did have to supplement the glassware, which we left for future guests, but otherwise we were happy with the kitchenware. The dishwasher worked well. We also liked the microwave and oven set up. We would happily stay here again! ##### Andrew W.

It totally exceeds our expectations. You have a beautiful cabin and layout with all the comforts of home and more including TV, VCR, sterio, wood stove, hot tub and washer/dryer. Where else can you go and have all of this and not pay an arm and a leg for all of these extras? The owners do everything they can to accommodate your vacation and make it a great experience. The view from the cabin is breathtaking. We loved using the motorboat and tour around the lake and see all the beauty this area holds. This was our fourth time renting from the owners and we anticipate many more to come. ##### sandra b. ### 10/10 Excellent #### james h. Aug 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful escape This fabulous cabin in the woods was the perfect retreat for our family of 5 and our dog. The building suited all our needs with enough space to congregate as well as relax. The views are amazing, you are always shaded and in about 10 seconds you can be in the lake. To that end, the boats, the dock, the floating dock and nearby rocks all make the "beach" area versatile and lots of fun. The view from the hot tub isn't bad either. Without the pandemic we may have explored more of the area--though the Price Chopper in Gouvernor has all you'd want and isn't too far--but in the end this place had all we needed--even our three adolescents did not complain. If you want to relax and slow down the pace of life we highly recommend staying here. ##### james h. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew V. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cabin with a beautiful Lake This is a very nice property with more positives than negatives.I'll put the negatives first: No curtains on windows other than in the bedrooms/bathroom. This one seems kind of odd, but there is no way to cover the windows in the kitchen, dining room, or living room (which faces the lake). This combined with slightly close neighbors means that the lights they leave on or conversations can be seen and heard. I could not get the side door to lock. The only other part that can be considered a negative is that the walk to the dock has roots around the area that are uneven. There is a handle bar to assist when walking up and down to help maintain balance.Now the positives: Incredibly well furnished, all knives, cutlery, pots, pans, trays, cutting boards were well kept. The coaches recline and are comfortable. The dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer all worked well. The fire pit is at a good location with plentiful firewood. The gas grill worked great. The hot tub is large with strong jets and fireflies come out at night. The mosquitos were only active on one of the four nights I stayed. The lake is very beautiful and worth exploring and admiring. There's a lot of small wildlife around like chipmunks, robins, red squirrels, a cat, and countless unique birds singing and living around the lake. We put up a hammock and the days couldn't be more relaxing. ##### Andrew V. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michaela A. Aug 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Another great Trout Lake vacation! This was our second year at this property and our third time renting from the Clarks. They have exceeded our expectations each and every time (the welcoming gifts were new this year- and much enjoyed!) This cabin is adorable, charming, and clean. It comfortably fits my family of five and my in-laws. The kitchen is relatively well stocked. The grill is like-new. The fire pit is cozy with lots of seating. The hot tub is welcome after a sunny day in the water or a chilly, rainy day inside. The loons are fascinating to watch and listen to. The sunsets are gloriously reflected in the water. A week of boating, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, trail running and fishing- something for everyone in an age range from 9-69. Thank you again to the Clark’s! We will be back! ##### Michaela A.

Sep 13, 2009 #### A Place Next to Heaven Lakeside Cottage, Trout Lake, is a place next to heaven! The cabin is perfect beyond belief re ambiance & amenities if atmosphere & comfort are important to you. If you are into boating, it is all there from Boston Whaler with 6.6.HP motor, 2 kayaks, & flat bottom canoe. If fishing is your thing, the bass are waiting for you in number, catch, & size. We caught & released 28 in 4 days that we fished, 2-3 people, plus 6 to 10 more jumped off the line boat side, 20", 18 ", 17" 15", & the rest mostly 10-12". There are trout too near the shore & in the middle of the lake which evaded our catch in the few hours we gave to their pursuit. Even heaven can be improved. You must bring bottled water to drink (6 + gallons for a week). And, a sailboat would be great fun. ##### 1Z3UZwNYAsUKXduSESnhBhGaqrmzM6rZx0xucKdvZbG6nzY3v7mY+aFg1127eb/NyFRMkzb2TvuVY6D7Bm40eS/rDQl/l8lAwHeX 1.

This house was in excellent clean condition when we arrived. The description was very accurate. The lake was amazing! It was so nice to have the use of a pontoon boat and kayaks. We never used the hot tub but it did look inviting! The lake was quiet this time of year and very relaxing! The only reason for 4 stars and something we would suggest if your planning to come to the house is that you use a vehicle with higher clearance. The road to the house was very rutted and washed out. We were glad to have our truck with us and even then we didn't enjoy driving it. Glad it was a relatively short drive to the home. It wouldn't deter us from renting the home again! There wasn't much in town except a small convenience store and a bar. The drive to a much larger town was about 25 minutes. Lots of hiking trails and state parks in the area. We would recommend it to friends! ##### Wendy M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### joshua n.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anita H. Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location #### Should have been paradise Overall 1 star rating is due to the poor attitude of the owner John. Cottage is very rustic. The bed in the master bedroom has such a sink hole on one side it makes it difficult to sleep and a need for a chiropractor appointment. There are very specific directions to start a fire and we were not left supplies. While John and Donna were responsive, John was very rude and made a snarky remark that we didnt go get twigs from outside after saying it had just rained for 10 days. They did refund cleaning fee. Windows do not lock and John rolls his eyes about you "not being the first to ask for locking windows and doors" and excuses it by saying "you're in the safest place around and the sheriff is at the end of the lake". Required to stay three nights during the off season and the hot tub didn't work (entire reason we chose location). Pontoon boat is provided but navigation lights have been removed as owners do not want night usage. These lights are required by the US Coast Guard and make this craft illegal and unsafe to operate. ##### Anita H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elena M.

The location is so tranquil and really forces you to just chill, take a deep breath and appreciate your surroundings. We spent every day on the boat, drifting, fishing and exploring. You can't beat evenings by the fire pit and/or lounging in the hot tub. Thank you for opening up your home to us and we look forward to returning! ##### Elena M.

The house had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. The pontoon boat and various watercraft were a joy each day. And you simply can’t beat stargazing from the hot tub right on the water. The one thing we didn’t realize from the listing is how close the house is to neighboring homes - but the neighbors we did meet were all welcoming and friendly. Nonetheless this property may be the best rental property I have ever stayed at. The hosts did everything to ensure we had a memorable, comfortable stay. ##### Kevin M.

So glad we found this place! I would definitely return! ##### Nancy F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michaela A.

This is our fourth year at Trout Lake and our fourth year renting from Donna (I can’t say enough good things about these hosts!). All of our other trips were in the summer, so I wasn’t sure what to expect…. It was amazing! We had a long weekend of boating, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and even some (brief, cause “brrr”) swimming. After each activity, we chased the chill away with a soak in the hot tub, followed by a fire in the wood stove. The cabin was clean (as always), well stocked, and full of lake ambiance in spades. You can’t go wrong with this listing! ##### Michaela A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geraldine G.

Trout Lake and its exquisite natural beauty, its residents, and all it has to offer is exactly what vacationing is all about, “getting back to the things that truly are of significants and making you feel like that carefree kid/individual you once were.” ##### Vitaliano D.

We particularly enjoy fishing off the dock and the rock nearby, and taking evening tours on the pontoon boat. ##### Gabrielle C.
