Vacation Rental Description

We are located in the tiny hamlet of Sabael, NY. We have a post office and general store within walking distance. The hamlet of Indian Lake is 4 miles north on Route 30 where there are restaurants, a local (IGA) food market, hardware store and other gift shops selling sundries.

Cottages are comfortably furnished with fully equipped kitchens; beds from twins to king, depending on cottage, some with woodstoves or fireplaces in the living rooms, some with covered decks, screened porches or large uncovered deck.

The waterfront area also has an observation deck and seating areas with campfire pit...all with marvelous views of pristine "forever wild" wilderness areas.

This larger party boat cannot be kept at our dock. You may bring your own boat and leave it at our dock (20' max.). However, you cannot launch your boat from our property. It must be launced from the nearby marina ($10 in/our), or the State Campsite Marina (about a 20 min. drive further south on Rte. 30).
