Welcome to The Osgood House, our home on beautiful Osgood Pond in Paul Smiths. We look forward to sharing the serenity of Osgood by making The Osgood House available for rent during our absence.

The House:

The Osgood House is a year-round home with two and half bedrooms, two and half baths, zoned hot water heat, and ample space for cooking, eating, and relaxing. The open floor plan on the first floor is anchored by the living room with a cathedral ceiling, large fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the deck overlooking Osgood Pond. The additional screened porch provides the perfect way to enjoy the fresh air steps from the kitchen and living room. The huge eat-in kitchen is fully equipped to cook and serve all your meals at home. The gas grill on the deck is available for your use as well. The second floor loft overlooks the living room and has easy chairs, a game table, a day bed with second trundle, and a mounted television for internet and streaming services. From the loft you can access the second bedroom and full bath. The full bath with tub and shower is adjacent to the bedroom. Each bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed and has its own thermostat. Bedroom One is located on the first floor with its own bathroom. Bedroom two with a queen size bed and futon is located on the second floor, with a full bathroom adjacent. Both bedrooms have marvelous views of Osgood Pond. A pack n play is available upon request and fits easily in the upstairs bedroom. The front door enters the foyer, which has a coat closet and opens to the main living space. The side door brings you into a large and functional mudroom, which has plenty of space to hang outdoor clothes and store gear. Skis, snowshoes, boots, life jackets, coolers, etc. can all easily dry and be stored in their own space. A separate laundry room is next to the mudroom, and a half bath is next to the laundry room. The Osgood House can accommodate a maximum of eight guests. We cannot accommodate pets. Smoking in the house is prohibited. WIFI is available throughout the entire house.

(To visit listed links, highlight the link and right-click)

Our home is located about 0.9 miles down White Pine Road off Route 86 in Paul Smiths, about 10 miles north of the Village of Saranac Lake. The property includes almost two acres of forest and over 300 feet of lakefront on the east shore of Osgood Pond. The lakefront is down a steep hill from the house (there are stairs), and has a deck and a seasonal dock. The dock is removed for winter on or about October 15, and reinstalled on or about May 15. Bring your own kayak or canoe, or you can take advantage of the rental services of Adirondack Lakes and Trails Outfitters, Saranac Lake. https://www.adirondackoutfitters.com/. The adventurous can carry a canoe down our 64 stairs from the driveway and house to the waterfront, others can use the public launch a half mile up White Pine Road and paddle to the property. The deck, front porch, front yard, berry patch, wooded hillside, and dock all offer plenty of space to rest, relax, and explore outside.

The Area:

Osgood House provides a great home base for many activities. Fishing in Osgood Pond is noted for bass and pike. Twice the N.Y. Times has described Osgood Pond as one of the 10 best spots to fish in New York State. Paddlers can connect to other ponds through man made canals and see all forms of Adirondack wildlife on the Osgood River or inlet. Much of Osgood's shoreline is owned by NY State, and will never be developed. There are many marked hiking trails within easy walking distance of our home. The Red Dot trailhead is off White Pine Road, half a mile up from our home. Many trails double as cross country ski trails once snow flies, and provide a beautiful view of Adirondack wilderness in all seasons. Hikers looking for a peak with a view can be at St. Regis Mountain or Jenkins Mountain trailheads in a matter of minutes by car. The famous Jackrabbit Ski Trail http://www.jackrabbittrail.org crosses White Pine Road not far from our home. Stay close and explore the wilderness, or go for a longer adventure.

- White Pine Camp, the Calvin Coolidge summer white house, 1 mile further down White Pine Road
