My family and I spent a long weekend at Karen's property on Upper Chateaugay and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We were looking for a rural spot to spend time together, enjoy the lake, and enjoy some R&R in nature. The house itself was very spacious and cozy - the pictures don't do it justice. The property was very isolated; some neighbors on plots of land nearby, but no one within sight from the house. The grounds are lovely - complete with many places to relax and well-groomed trails across the property leading you to the lake, the sandy entry point, the platform, and a sweet little sitting area. We found all the cooking supplies we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals and were very pleased Karen allowed us to use the firewood stored at the house to make a fire each night. While some travelers may be wary of the generator and propane kitchen appliances, we had no issue. The appliances work all the time, even the stove. And there is hot water for showers without using the generator. It truly was one of the most peaceful family vacations we've had :) Thank you again, Karen, for opening your home to us! I hope we'll be back at some point in the future.
