LAKEFRONT PROPERTY NESTLED BENEATH WHITE PINES"WIND SONG"

Franklin County

Saranac Lake Chain Region Vacation Rentals — LISTING ID: VR6688

Wind Song is the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate while enjoying the best that the Adirondacks can offer. By the shores of waters considered to be an undiscovered jewel of the Adirondacks, Wind Song is also close to shopping and other attractions that will enhance your stay in the mountains. Nestled in the northern Adirondacks close to NYS Route 30, Wind Song invites you to enjoy a secluded Adirondack retreat while allowing you easy access to Malone (13 miles), the Adirondack Visitor's Interpretive Center at Paul Smith's (19 miles), Titus Mountain Ski Resort (10 miles) and a host of outdoor activities.

Wind Song sits under a stand of grand old white pines on the shore of a small, tranquil pond that flows into the larger Deer River Flow. For the paddler or fisherman, it is a slice of Adirondack heaven. The fishery of Horseshoe Pond and Deer River Flow is a critically important state fishery for several sport species. Birders will find heron, osprey, loons and bald eagles. For a family, it can be a vacation to remember. For the person just looking to get away from it all, it is a quiet retreat from the rush of modern life.

Due to the COVID pandemic, we are restricting the maximum occupancy to 4 people, including children. We are also restricting rentals to week-long rentals only, from Saturday to Saturday. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

The camp includes two bedrooms with two twin beds each, a living room with a fold-out couch, and an entertainment center with television, and a BlueRay/DVD player. Please note that there is no television reception; the television is present so that you can enjoy your favorite movies. The kitchen has standard appliances including refrigerator/freezer, stove and oven, and microwave. The bath has a vanity, toilet and shower. A full-sized water heater provides plenty of hot water. The dining room and office has a full view of the pond. Attached to the dining room is a large screened porch that is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the view. An outbuilding is available for storage during your stay.

It is important to understand that Wind Song's primary attraction is as a way to get away from it all. Unless you come equipped with your own Verizon hot spot, or if you use a dial-up connection with a local phone number, there is no internet reception at the property itself. Likewise, there is no television reception. Your access to news and outside information will require a trip north into Malone or south to Paul Smith's College. If you wish to remain technologically tuned in, then please consider some other rental.

As with many Adirondack camps, the greatest attraction is the water. A short paddle will bring you the breathtaking scenery and mountain vistas that Horseshoe Pond affords. A longer one will take you to Deer River Flow, and its magical views. Access for canoes, kayaks and swimming is easy from the grassy beach next to the dock. Canoes and kayaks may be secured safely to the dock. (If you need to rent a canoe for your stay, consider Mac's Canoe Livery in Clear Lake, 30 miles south on Rt. 30, http://www.macscanoe.com/.) Motorboats are discouraged. Horseshoe Pond flows into the larger Deer River Flow just downstream from Wind Song; both water bodies have excellent fishing. There is a campground within a few miles with access to the Flow for larger boats.

Meet the Owner(s)

About Us: I am a senior woman who lives with her sister on a lovely rural property near Watertown, New York. We share the property with twelve chickens, two pet rabbits and our three cats. I work providing environmental compliance services to the chemical industry, which keeps me very busy. Wind Song has been in my family for over 60 years. My parents purchased the property, and I am thrilled to provide others the opportunity to discover the magic of the northern Adirondack mountains.

Why we think you will enjoy staying in Duane: If you like a quiet, rural, almost rustic setting, with an away-from-it-all feeling, then Wind Song is the place for you! A short trip will take you to all the places where the bustle of the Adirondacks can also be enjoyed--Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Lake Placid, and Wilmington/Whiteface Mountain.

Why our property is special: I think that the most special thing about our property is the screened porch. Having three sides open to the sigh of the breeze and a view of the lake while enjoying the woodsy birdsong make it a perfect place for family gatherings or just sitting quietly reading a book. If you are lucky, you can catch a downpour on the porch. It's unforgettable!
