Quaint Rustic Cottage in Charming Caroga Lake -100 Steps to Lake (not on lake) Ladybug is quaint, lovely little 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage that sleeps up to 4/5 people comfortably, and is just 100 steps to a shared private, deeded beach on Caroga Lake. The house is not located on the water, but rather on a quiet street in the rustic, sleepy, charming village of Caroga in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The cottage is over 100 years old and campy, but very clean and lovingly decorated with vintage antiques and furniture and peppered with modern amenities. The two bedrooms are upstairs and the one bathroom is downstairs. For decorative purposes only, the house features several antique wood and cook's stoves and a large hearth fireplace. There is a smart TV that you can use to stream your favorite channels (with your own personal subscriptions) and we do have a DVD/VHS with some amazing old DVDs and VHS tapes for your viewing pleasure. We also have some comfy chairs and a rocker to curl up in on a rainy day to watch a movie, read a good book or play one of the many board games available. The kitchen is well stocked with a refrigerator, electric stove, and plenty of pots pans, dishes, utensils and cooking utensils, as well as a blender, a toaster, a toaster oven, a coffee maker and grinder, and a tea kettle. There is no microwave, but we don't miss it with the toaster oven and stove. There is also no dishwasher, but there is a drying rack next to the country style kitchen sink, and another sink located on the back porch. The shower/tub, toilet and bathroom are downstairs, just off the back porch off the kitchen. Both bedrooms are upstairs, although there is a twin sleeper sofa bed on the ground floor in the living room. The Twin Room has two single/twin beds, a dresser, desk, bedside tables. The Full Room has a full bed sleeping one to two people. It also has a trundle bed with two twin beds, sleeping one person on top and one below comfortably, a dresser, desk and bedside table. The house is definitely best suited for a small family or very close friends as there are only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Please be sure to note that the bedrooms are upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs, outside of the kitchen.This is a three- season cabin, so there is not central heating and no air conditioning. On chilly nights, you can simply put on extra clothes and use some of our extra blankets available. In the summer, when its hot, we find opening the upstairs windows generally cools the place right down as you get the mountain breeze and breeze off the lake. On those few very hot days, you can use the fans in each bedroom and in the downstairs closet, as well as the window fans in each bedroom window.Lady Bug has large, screened in front and back porches with some vintage wicker chairs and comfortable throw pillows to enjoy the view from the front or back of the house. On the back porch, guests can take in the sunset over the lake through the trees and our neighbor's houses. Outside, there is a picnic table, a BBQ, and a fire pit with four Adirondack chairs, as well as the working well supplying water for Lady Bug, housed in its own charming well house. Although it goes without saying, guests may not under any circumstances climb or sit on the well, as it is an active well. Lady Bug is in a neighborhood, there are lake houses and camp neighbors, it is not secluded or in the woods. It is not a party house, and we are not located in a resort town or area. But you will have peaceful time in a beautiful, tranquil place that will do wonders for your soul. We do hope you will come stay with us. This really is a lovely place to relax and spend time with family and friends. We are so close to so many amazing outdoor adventures and activities, between the lake, fishing and swimming, to boating, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and canoeing (you can rent all of these at the Caroga Lake Marina about 1 mile down the street), to hiking in abundance, including Cane Mountain's Fire Tower, Nine Corner Lake and many more great trails, to the concerts on the lake and at Shermans, amazing antiquing in Caroga and surrounding areas and in Gloversville and Johnstown. We are also close to golf and horseback riding. And all this just in the summer. Cooperstown, Albany, Saratoga, Howes Caverns, Great Escape Water Park and Lake George are all about an hour away, give or take 15 minutes or so, depending on which one you want to visit. There is the Amsterdam Mohawks baseball team, which has exciting baseball games at a high level playing weekly at Shuttlesworth field, just outside of Amsterdam. And the Wild Animal Farm is on the way! We also have a few great local restaurants and bars that are not to be missed, like Dick and Pegs and Vroomans, as well as some very quaint camping stores, and grocery stores nearby in Gloversville and Johnstown.We love Caroga Lake and we love Lady Bug - we hope you will too!
