A secluded oasis directly on the magnificent Upper Chateaugay Lake, this property has been completely remodeled inside and out in the last 20 years and includes a major update annually. Located as the second to last house on a dead-end private road, yet directly in-front of the deepest part of the lake at 70 feet deep, this house and property is ideal for a get-away. Upper Chateaugay Lake leads into the Lower Chateaugay Lake via the Narrows for a total of 9 miles. The property, on the East shores and on a very gentle slope with 106 feet of direct lake-front, has breathtaking views of unspoiled, NY State parkland and mountains. Be sure not to miss the unbelievable sunsets across the lake to the West with bright oranges and purples - true eye candy. Of course, another benefit of spectacular sunsets is the ability to sleep in during the mornings without being awoken by beams of sun in the early hours. Additionally, stargazing at night will enable you to see more stars in one night than in a lifetime. Clear, crisp and full of memories. Each room of the house has been remodeled, including the Mahogany master bedroom with a log king size bed & L-shape workstation overlooking the lake, Douglas Fir guest room with built-in full-size bed, slated side entryway, cedar bathroom with granite and terra cotta walk-in, full-size shower plus a granite kitchen with brand new tiled floor, and Pine tongue-and-groove dining nook and living room with new carpet, sofa, & matching ADK chair. Both bedrooms have plenty of closet space and nightstands/tables. Grand views of the lake are easily visible from the master, side entryway, dining nook and living room. My cabin is an L-shaped ranch with views of the lake from all angles. Renovated outbuilding in 2025 named the Shotgun Shack includes extra sleeping quarters with a set of bunk beds (Twin over Queen), plus a mini kitchen (sans stove/oven), and bathroom with walk-in shower. Perfect for the teens to get away from the folks. NOTE: The Shotgun Shack (outbuilding) is only seasonal & not available October - April. The expanded U-shaped dock is one great option to hang out. The dock extension creates a large area to be on the waters edge: A 16 x 18 dock with a built-in bench and a 14 x 4 catwalk combining with the original 16 x 6 dock to form a large U-shaped dock party area. A new catwalk now combines all dock space for easy walking from one end to the other - maybe 80'. Entry into the refreshing waters of Upper Chateaugay is easily done multiple ways: via the extra-wide (10 feet) staircase on the right side of the property, the ladder from one catwalk, the staircase from another dock, as well as the ladder off the 32' dock. In any case, you are able to walk out 10 - 15 feet before being over your head. The lake bottom is firm, not soft and mucky, with a huge swath of rocks cleared for easy walking. The party dock and decking system will be your favorite place. Your next favorite places will be the XL lean-to made from cedar and hemlock, and 12x12 floating deck, each built in 2018 and each offering cool areas to relax by the waters edge and find your inner happiness while enjoying a cocktail. Challenge yourself to sleep outside yet protected from the elements in the custom-built lean-to. Or find yourself gazing at the lake on one of the new Adirondack chairs with built-in footrest and rocker. New for 2022 was a 32' x 6' dock in front of the lean-to. This dock enables you to see a larger portion of the lake while enveloping yourself in nature. Boat docking is available but I must be informed since the lake can get very windy. The outdoor stone porch area, reached directly from the side entryway, allows for great meals on the picnic table while watching the loons on the lake, as well as camp fire stories at the firepit area in the evening. The deck with BBQ wedge area is perfect for outdoor enjoyment. Lawn games are delightfully played on the expansive lawn in front of the Shotgun Shack, which is the seasonal outbuilding with bunk beds, mini-kitchen & bathroom. All of the water toys (lifejackets, noodles, paddles, wet suits, etc) are for your use and located in outdoor closets attached to the garage. Upper Chateaugay Lake is regarded as one of the Top Fishing Waters by NY State Department of Environmental Conservation for its Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Small Mouth Bass, and Landlocked Salmon. Kayaking, canoeing, and fishing are idyllic during the morning or evening hours when the lake is glassy, while sailing can be enjoyed when the breeze kicks in during the afternoons. New in 2022 was a 6-pack boat rack for easy carrying. Of course, boating can be enjoyed anytime, and kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards are included in the rental. For the Olympian hopefuls, swimming across the lake is about 1.5 miles. The 2025 newly updated U-turn driveway has great curb appeal with large boulders inviting guests to enjoy their stay at my home. Even during the height of the summer season, you can find peace and true tranquility. I have two neighbors and our houses are far apart: one is blocked by a new wood fence, and the other I can see the side of their house. There are only 594 property owners on the Upper & Lower lakes (9 miles of lake) and most of those are located on the smaller, Lower Lake. On any given hot afternoon in July or August, one can easily count the number of boaters on a single hand for there is little boat traffic on the larger, Upper, of the Chateaugay Lakes. In essence, my property is very private and secluded, with little external noise except for the wind, birds, waves and the occasional woodpecker and loon. The main road, Route 374, is three miles away and leads to nearby antique shopping, ice cream stands, restaurants, pizza places, delis, bakeries, convenient stores, farm stands, windmill farms, the NY State boat launch and mountainous hiking trails. Further out, it'll bring you to Malone, fairgrounds, Montreal, Saranac, Lake Placid, Plattsburgh, Vermont, large grocery stores, shopping malls, and movie theaters. Included in the rental is a three-person canoe, a two-person kayak, two single-person kayaks, two stand-up boards, life vests and noodles, a 8x10 swim float (platform) 100 feet out and in 15' of water. Life vests, noodles, and lawn games are located in a separate, outdoor closets. Suggested boating excursions include paddling to the beginning of the south inlet, at the very end of the Upper Lake, and meandering the waterways to the numerous beaver damns more than a mile in. Or make your way to the infamous sand bar at the edge of the Narrows for a game of frisbee in ankle-deep water and an afternoon picnic on the wide beach. Novices and experts will enjoy the adventures to be had. Also included are portable chairs, plus gas and charcoal BBQ's for outdoor enjoyment. Firewood is bring-your-own. Lastly, the number of people allowed to stay at my house is limited to a maximum of 6, one king-size bed & one full-size bed in the main house plus a queen-size and a twin in the seasonal Shotgun Shack outbuilding. During the off-season, the ideal number of guests is 4\. This is to discourage large parties of people. Check in time is 2:00 and check out time is 10:00\. Peak summer rentals run Saturday to Saturday from the middle of June until Labor Day. Mid-week rentals are available in other months. You will still have to tidy the place up, empty the refrigerator and remove all of your belongings. My property manager will clean and disinfect all rooms, surfaces, remove the garbage, vacuum, & replace the sheets & towels, which are included in the rental. The on-line calendar is updated as soon as a reservation is booked and is always up-to-date. I respond to all inquiries within 24 hours except on weekends when I am in the Adirondacks. What this place is not: It's not Lake George or Sacandaga Lake with constant boat traffic. It's not Saratoga Lake with neighbors every 50 feet apart. It's not Lake Placid with confined tourism. It's not Chazy Lake, with a main road seen and heard by half the lake of only 3 miles long. It's not on the Narrows or the Lower lake (of Chateaugay Lake), where the lake is more shallow, congested, and populated. It's not on the West side, where the sun rises at 6 a.m. during the summer. What this does not have: extra fees!! In summary, Upper Chateaugay Lake is by far the biggest and best lake in the northern Adirondacks as well as my home bringing a touch of elegance and grandeur. Please note: the on-line Google maps shows Hemlock Lane not as a dead-end. It is a dead-end and my house is the second to last house of a total of 6 houses. Note: You must purchase the rental insurance in case you need to cancel. 3-night minimum for Spring and Fall dates. 7-night minimum for peak season, with rentals starting & ending on Saturday. All fees are included. Review ' We were very anxious about staying at this cabin and also getting to know this part of the Adirondacks, which we had never been to before this trip. When we first came across this on VRBO, right away we knew it was going to be special. We both felt that it was the right cabin in the right location. Our instinct wasn’t wrong! The house is nestled on this dead-end road, lakefront with spectacular views of the lake. The sunsets are amazing whether you are fishing from the dock or just sitting at the nice platform overlooking the lake relaxing in the comfortable Adirondack chairs. The place is organized and has everything that you could possibly need for cooking, baking, grilling, etc. Then at night you can gaze at the stars sitting by the fire ring enjoying the evening. One of the things that we enjoyed the most every night was to sit by the dock and listen to the sounds of the loons. It was so serene and soothing. I don’t believe we’ll ever forget those sounds for as long as we live.

The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved paddle boarding and kayaking right from the dock and swimming in the clear lake. The location was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for unwinding in the hammock or just soaking in the views. We also took some fantastic day trips to Burlington and Lake Placid, which added to the adventure. We can't wait to come back! ##### Andrew F.

The house was comfortable and had everything we needed, inside and outside. It was too cold for swimming, but we loved sitting outside and listening to the birds & loons and seeing the Milky Way over the water. Joseph was a great host and gave us lots of helpful suggestions on nearby places to eat or explore. I hope to go back and stay longer! ##### Alissa C.

It is such a beautiful, secluded property on a pristine, quiet Adirondack lake... you can get lost driving on the nearby country roads and enjoy the bounty of the farm stands you've stopped at along the way. The property was exactly what we were looking for. Joe has provided all of the essential amenities, you truly feel like a guest in his home!

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat The Anchor has everything you need to escape. A beautiful firepit patio off the back door that has wide steps leading to a floating deck with Adirondack chairs and then not just one dock but three docks that you can fish, kayak, paddle board, or swim from. The floating dock is a great place to fish from or perfect your cannonball from. The bedrooms are spacious and kitchen has all the tools you could need. The Shotgun Shack is newly renovated and a perfect place for adult children. As a family of 6 we found it perfect. Joe has thought of everything .Our children range in age from 9 years old to 24 years. We recommend The Anchor for your next getaway and will be returning next year. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David P.

Everything else (and more) is included at the house, along with plenty to do (kayaks, lawn toys, etc.), a fabulous view of the lake and sunsets only found on post cards. Caught 2-4 lb bass directly from the dock, but great fishing can be found all over the lake. The area has a nice mix of local owned shops for bait, produce, baked goods, fire wood, and ice-cream while towns of Malone (20 min) and Plattsburg (40 min) can be easily reached when you need it. Overall an A+ for house and owner. Can't wait until next time! ##### David P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan B.

Secluded enough to get a real outdoors feeling but close enough to the rivers for fishing if the lake was too windy for the canoe. All in all, a real great place to stay. ##### Jason R.

It’s clean, the beds/ pillows are very comfortable and it has a great shower. We enjoyed using the kayaks each day on the lake & river. The outdoor space is incredible and has lots of options to gather. Everything is brand new in the shotgun shack. The owner provides great information on the property and the surrounding area.

Well stocked kitchen and bathroom, the shower had great water pressure, the living room was cozy and comfortable, and the panoramic lake view was amazing! We stayed in early spring, it was chilly and had some rain, so we didn't go swimming or kayaking, but we enjoyed every minute whether it was hanging out on the dock, fires on the patio or morning coffee in the lean-to. We have rented dozens of houses and cabins over the years, and this was one of the best. ##### Richard L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry G.

The rest of the week we swam, canoed/kayaked, played yard games and went fishing. We did well catching smallmouth bass and perch. Joe is great he made us feel welcome and was responsive to anything we needed. We will come back !! ##### Terry G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica B.

We enjoyed using the yard games and kayaks and canoe. We also enjoyed the property owners interesting souvenirs and photos from his travels. I wasn't impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin considering the additional cleaning fee, that may be something the property owner needs to discuss with the property manager. And if suggestions for updates are taken into consideration, I would recommend replacing the carpet in the living room. ##### Jessica B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ditte N. Sep 26, 2018 #### Beautifully maintained property and lake cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Joe’s cabin. The description is totally accurate and the place is very comfortable inside and out. The views from the living room and master bedroom are lovely and everything is clean, neat and well cared for. Joe was very easy to communicate with and his caretaker, Allen, was also very responsive and helpful and easy to talk to. We loved the many outside venues: the platform for sitting up above the lake, the dock with the bench at the water’s edge, the floating platform/raft to swim out to, and the picnic table up by the house. One recommendation would be to get some Adirondack chairs and place them around for relaxing and reading and enjoying morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the sunset. Also, the outside lighting around the picnic table could be better. It’s difficult to sit outside and eat at the table in the dark. If one has difficulty with stairs and uneven ground, this may not be the place to rent because the cabin has numerous levels and the outside areas are rather steep and uneven. We all had no trouble. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyed by all. ##### Ditte N.

The property is right on the lake, shaded by pine trees, with multiple docks/platforms, and a lean-to for different views in different types of weather (it's in the mountains, so the weather can change very quickly). The sunsets in particular are stunning--different every night, and they seem to last for hours. The location is very remote, so good for folks who like wildlife, swimming, hiking, and boating of all kinds. Water access isn't as easy as it might be, as you'll need to carry them up and down stairs (and there is nowhere to tie them up in the water), but once you've got them in there are lots of places to explore around the lake. Bring water shoes as the shoreline is rocky. There are two grills (gas and charcoal) and a large picnic table for outdoor dining. There are neighboring houses on both sides; one is hidden by a fence, and the other oriented in a different direction, so we weren't overly conscious of them, except on the weekends, when they got quite noisy; happily, weekdays were beautifully quiet. Watersports on the lake can also get loud (jet-skies, speed boats, etc.). But all told, we loved our stay! ##### Natasha K. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James H. Nov 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it! A wonderful property if you're truly looking to get off of the grid. Beautiful dock, well-stocked in terms of utensils, kayaks, games, DVDs, etc. The new dock is awesome and the lake is truly a special place. ##### James H.

Upper Chauteaugay lake with the mountains around it is absolutely beautiful and Joe provides so much so that you can enjoy it - multiple kayaks, stand up paddle boards, life jackets and more - it was fantastic to have all of this to use and we got out on the lake every day. The property around the cabin is set up beautifully so that you can enjoy the views from various spots- although neighbors were very close on either side, they were quiet and the lake as a whole didn't have a ton of loud motor boats when we were there, which was really nice. We loved the lean to and had fires in the fire pit every night, watched the sun set, and listened to the loons. Our family had a wonderful, peaceful week. ##### Tamar S.
