About this property

6 BR McMaster House with a deck, campfire, water views and mountain sunsets!

The McMaster House was a single family home built in 1917. It has evolved into a wonder vacation flagship anchor for the Elms Waterfront Cottages. The front of the building is where our office and gift shop are located. With a large kitchen, dining, bathroom, and living sun porch all on the back of the building and six bedrooms on the second floor, this 2000 square foot property is ideal for your large group. There are five queen beds, a bunk bed with a double and single, and a futon couch that pulls out to a double.

Outside you will find a large deck, BBQ and private campfire and views of the water. Inside, you will find a full kitchen includes pots and pans, dishes and silver, refrigerator and stove with microwave and Mr. Coffee. Three air conditioners, two TV's, WiFi and all blankets and linens and towels are provided. Kayaks, rowboats and a private beach are provided. A 10% discount on jet ski, river rafting and our pontoon boat is available to our renters.

You can get wood from us at $1 per log or bring it into the property. Charcoal is also available at the local convenient stores next to the property.

Local restaurants, a wine store and beer is in walking distance. Hiking to Hadley Mtn, bike rides, gold a 1/4 mile away and horseback riding are all in our back yard. The rodeo is in town every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday beginning in July.

This is a family owned boutique property for the past 24 years. We have a lot of repeat customers and large families that visit each year from NY, NJ, CT and MA primarily. We host family reunions and schedule two weddings per year.

We are on the Hudson River where it merges with Lake Sacandaga. The name of this bay is known as Tiosaronda Bay which means the merging of two waters as named by the Iroquois Indians. Our Chief Tiosaronda can be found carved into a big pine tree overlooking the property and protecting the children.

If you have pets, you are welcome to bring them. Just let us know as we have a $30 per night charge per animal.

Fishing is popular in the mouth bass, such a great eating fish is so pure here in our waters with no pollution coming into the water rivulets.

We are located half way between Lake George and Saratoga. Lake George has a lot of amusements, boat rides, wax museums, memento shops and many hotels and motels. The Lake is beautiful, clean and know as the Queen of the American Lakes. You will love to discover her beauty.

And 15 minutes south of us is Saratoga Springs famous for having the first horse race track in the country. Racing season is five weeks long and begins at the end of July. The fine dining and shops along broadway will treat you to a nice evening on the town.

So, we would love to have you visit us. We will host your stay, help you find the kinds of fun you want and steer you in the right direction. Welcome!

lots to do
While property has lots things to do on lake we enjoyed the area. At first we were not sure if we would like the accommodations as it never said it was part of the office building below. We ended up having no issue. One recommendation is to close off the office to the home which was left open during the day. We had a key to lock our bedroom but that's not ideal for vacations as we often had to keep track of two keys with a large group. The fire pit and lake were very relaxing and having the liquor store and convenience store next to us was a plus. Make sure you bring towels, as we did need more and they were in short supply Scott and Chandler were great hosts Rent to boats so worth it

Fun experience
We were a group of 12 and we’re pretty much comfortable with our stay. You can do kayaking by the lake or just sit by the lake and relax.

Fun Family Getaway
The size and layout of the vacation lodge was well suited for our family of 9. There was ample sleeping and living space. The kitchen was set up nicely. The kids enjoyed all the water sport equipment; and, we all enjoyed eating out on the deck and sitting around the campfire in the evening. We found the area to be very friendly and quite safe. A third bathroom would have been great. However, we managed nicely. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

$$$$ doesn’t equal quality
A very old House in need of repairs. Bathroom sink falling off the wall, exposed wires in the shower ceiling, the house was actually on a river Not a lake. The river was not accessible at the house. The spot was not private, there was loud traffic all night long. I learned to not believe everything you read and see pics of on VRBO. I was naive enough to think because of the hefty price for one night at the house it would be a quality place.

About the host

Hosted by Chandler Atkins

Host profile image
Hi...I grew up on the family fruit farm and ventured out. Earned degrees in business and psychology and taught primarily at local colleges. I have opened businesses in orchards, real estate, discotheques, consulting, corporate training, air charter and summer cottages for tourists. By the way that is my palette knife painting of our rowboat in the sunset.

Why they chose this property

The Elms has been my farm. This is our 24th summer season. Each year is better than the last and a labor of love. Nothing pleases me more than to walk through the property at night and see all the campfires burning and voices chattering away. 700 feet of waterfront and mountain sunsets create this jewel.

What makes this property unique

Tiosaronda merging of two waters into one was the name the Indians gave to describe the majestic twist of nature. Chief Tiosaronda is carved in wood on the property and the legend has been written by kids who visited The Elms on our web site. A lot of mystery and magic in these woods.
