Middle Grove House | Lakefront refuge, 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs, NY

4 Bedroom House in Middle Grove

The best of many worlds is here for you at Lake Desolation! Relax and take in the view of the picture-postcard lake from the huge windows while being warmed by a fire in the stove. In winter, it's a snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling paradise- just head out the door and go for miles in the pristine woods. Downhill skiing is just minutes away at West Mountain and a bit farther at Gore. In summer, take out a paddleboard and paddle around the glassy water, or sit on the dock and read in the sun. Cook dinner in the open kitchen with the latest upgrades or grill dinner out back while you sit in the screened-in gazebo. Hang out at the fire pit and look up at the stars. Soak in the whirlpool tub while you watch the moon rise. It's the ultimate in relaxation.
If you prefer activity, Saratoga Springs is just 10 miles away, and you will find shops, excellent restaurants, premium concerts at the SPAC, skiing at West Mountain and Gore, Skidmore College, the famed Saratoga Race Track and much more. This is a 4-season area so you can enjoy the beauty all year round.

Summary: Even better than the photos! We all loved our stay. The owners were very responsive to our questions and really lovely people. It was very peaceful on the lake and in the woods. Tinney's Tavern is a few minutes away, which we went to many times, one day on the rowboat. We kayaked and had an amazing time. The house is on a long gravel, private road which we walked almost every day. We loved the Great Room with an unobstructed lake view where everyone hung out and enjoyed a glass of wine (or two). We were in Saratoga almost every day either for dinner or meeting up with friends. It usually took 18 minutes to downtown. Loved the Village Pizzaria which has great steak, fish, pasta, etc. besides pizza and also the Marina Grill right on Sacandaga Lake. The country roads have lots of deer, which we enjoyed spotting. If your navigation system can't find it, just put in Tinney's Tavern and follow directions from there. Wifi is spotty on the roads but great in Il Refugio! Thank you Diana and Dave. We all had a fabulous time and would love to go back. Diana & Dave's place is at the top of the North end, safe and gorgeous inside and out. It's the best part of the lake. Here are drone shots. You can see a couple of docks at the bottom, with their floating dock.
