Thank you Giles for a wonderful stay. Our cottage more than met our expectations! The lake and private beach are wonderful. This is a great low-key spot to relax and unwind. We had a wonderful stay, and wish circumstances would have given us an extra night. If we plan another Adirondack vacation, the Sunset Mountain Lodge will be at the top of our list!
