DESCRIPTION
"Sunset" is a deeply romantic getaway and serene year-round destination for writers, artists,
nature lovers and all who appreciate the beauty and gentle pleasures of a quiet Adirondack
lake. Located on Pleasant Lake in the accessible southern Adirondacks, "Sunset" is named
for its western views from every room and three levels of sunny, furnished decks. This lovingly
detailed lakefront cottage was completely remodeled and furnished for 2006. It
accommodates six, with a queen master bedroom, queen sleeping loft and queen living room
sleeper-sofa, and is particularly suitable for adults and older children.
"Sunset's" STUNNING LAKE
VIEWS, framed by magnificent pines, include two islands and
the daily light show of the setting sun. Sunrise, reflected in the lake, is equally beautiful. An
Adirondack swing is a romantic spot for sky-gazing. At lakeside, a ladder and diving board
offer easy entry into deep, clear water. A rowboat is provided seasonally; kayaks
and a canoe are
available for an additional fee. In winter, we provide snowshoes for trekking the frozen lake.
"Sunset's" light, airy
OPEN-PLAN LIVING SPACE includes a living room and lakefront dining
room with vaulted ceilings and a full-size eat-in kitchen. A lakefront master bedroom,
sleeping loft, bathroom and entry hall complete the interior.
From the relaxed comfort of country antiques mixed with casual new classic furniture, to
generous windows and the warm mood of vintage lighting set on dimmer switches,
exceptional care went into every detail of "Sunset's" design. Floral hooked rugs soften pine floors; ceiling
fans enhance lake breezes. A JotuI gas fireplace keeps "Sunset" toasty through Adirondack
winters, takes the chill off brisk spring and autumn mornings, adds a glow to any evening.
The LIVING
ROOM's plush sofa and rattan furniture plumped with sumptuous down cushions
and cozy throws create flexible groupings for pleasant conversation and quiet entertainment.
Vintage bridge lamps and sconces provide bright reading light, while a glass-topped coffee
table is perfect for Scrabble or another of the classic board games we provide along with a
selection of guidebooks, magazines, CD's and videos. The
TV/DVD can be viewed from almost anywhere in the cottage. Sheer drapes drawn between living and
dining rooms create intimate spaces or privacy for guests using the sleeper sofa.
The LAKEFRONT DINING ROOM radiates light from two picture windows set in sunny
yellow walls. Fireplace flames, mirrored arches and a shimmering Italian chandelier add to
the lake's sparkle. An antique table seats six; vintage pastel Lu-Ray dinnerware, floral
Bavarian serving pieces, reproduction "French ivory" cutlery, and crystal wine
and champagne glasses set a sophisticated and romantic table.
Two rocking chairs are ideal for bird watching. A deck spanning the front of the cottage is
furnished for warm weather al fresco dining, with a patio heater extending the season.
The highlight of the
FULLY-EQUIPPED EAT-IN KITCHEN, charmingly fitted with new and
vintage elements, is its aqua 1950's electric range with double ovens, which inspired
"boomerang" Formica surfaces. A double-basined, skirted farmhouse sink is deep enough
for a lobster pot. Display shelving offers easy storage above enameled cupboards. A dishwasher
makes wash-up a breeze. The refrigerator is equipped with icemaker; a cooler of local spring
water supplements the drilled well. A stainless-steel gas grill is steps away outside the
entrance.
The kitchen is well-equipped with sharp knives, stainless pots, cast-iron skillets, handy
gadgets, microwave, 4-slice toaster, blender, rice cooker. A coffee-bar by the sink offers
coffee grinder and maker, electric teakettle and mugs. Bakers will love the Kitchen-Aid mixer
and full complement of baking pans. A breakfast counter has vintage metal stools, freshly
powder-coated in ice-cream enamels.

An intimate ambience unusual in a kitchen is created with pendant task-lights on dimmers
and soft strip-lighting behind the crown molding of the low, exposed-beam ceiling. Above a pine
table with press-backed oak chairs, festive baubles animate a tole chandelier.
It is hard to say which is the focal point of the
ROMANTIC LAKEFRONT MASTER BEDROOM - the spectacular views or the Adirondack fantasy bed. White birch trees form a
canopy of branches shimmering with tiny white lights above the queen-size bed. Windows
spanning three walls flood the room with light. A view-reflecting mirror, French door and sky-
blue ceiling add to the feeling of being outdoors in this serene, luxuriously
comfortable bedroom. Rattan chairs share panoramic views with a window seat built from an antique
chest. Vintage glass feathers and flowers on a mahogany dresser continue the glittering
theme of the beautifully illuminated room. Bedside tables, halogen reading lights, lamps, ceiling fan,
and plush woolly white rugs complete the furnishings. A walk-in cedar closet accommodates
hanging clothes for both bedroom and sleeping loft.
Antique porch posts support the LAKEVIEW SLEEPING
LOFT, suitable for adults or older children. Reached by a sturdy library ladder, with a curtained privacy railing (please note the
railing is not structurally supportive and must not be leaned against), the cozy loft has a
queen bed set against a rustic log wall, antique bedside dressers and reading lights flanking
a window with whimsical pediment. The peaked ceiling, textured and sponged in an abstract
swirl of sky and clouds, features a stained-glass star lantern.
Luxury linens at "Sunset" include down duvets, feather pillows and soft fleece blankets. You
provide sheets, pillowcases and towels.
The BATHROOM features a tub with "rain" showerhead, and a pedestal sink and toilet
set below a mirrored wall with shelves and medicine cabinet. Amenities include a magnifying
mirror and hair dryer. During the
warmer months, "Sunset" offers the treat of a hot outdoor shower.
The ENTRANCE HALLWAY is an all-weather mudroom, with hooks, boot-trays and bench
for removing and storing outdoor gear. Because "Sunset " has a "no shoes" policy, guests are
requested to wear slippers, socks or bare feet in the house.
"Sunset" is a quick walk from our ample parking area off a maintained dirt road. All-wheel or
4-wheel drive or chains may be required in winter.
"Sunset" is an ideal base camp for OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN EVERY
SEASON. Swim, fish and boat from our deep, clear water-front. Hike or mountain bike on nearby trails leading to
lakes, fishing streams and mountaintops. Several golf courses, and spectator sports
including motocross, NASCAR and horseracing, are within easy distance. In winter,
"Sunset" comes with three sets of traditional snowshoes and poles for trekking frozen
Pleasant Lake. Downhill and cross-country skiing, ice-skating, ice-fishing and miles of Adirondack wilderness trails for
hiking and snowmobiling are all within minutes.
With no commercial facilities and few year-round cottages, Pleasant Lake feels peacefully
remote; yet necessities are available nearby. A local roadhouse serves delicious food three
minutes away. Convenience stores, gas, restaurants, bars, espresso and the Sunday NY
"Times" are within five miles; all the services of a city are within 20. In a region bountiful with
natural beauty, historic sites, museums, antiquing, music venues and family fun, daytrip
destinations include Saratoga Springs, Cooperstown, Lake George, and the Albany Capital
Region.
"Sunset" is centrally located at the southern rim of the Adirondack Park, just a
four hour drive from Boston, Montreal, Buffalo and New York, 80 minutes from Albany International Airport.
“Sunset” accommodates a maximum of 6 guests at all times. Sorry, no
pets and no smoking. “Sunset” has a NO SHOES policy: bring slippers
or flip-flops for indoor use.
