Ramblers Lodge is a unique Fourth Lake property rich in Adirondack character and the charm of a historic seasonal lodge. The four-bedroom main lodge features an updated kitchen, a beautiful window-lined room filled with natural light, and an expansive front porch made for summer days on the lake. Stairs and a walkway lead to the waterfront, where the historic boathouse--predating Adirondack Park Agency regulations--includes a three-bedroom apartment above. An expansive dock and spacious waterfront deck overlook a protected, sandy-bottom swimming area. A bright and airy two-bedroom apartment is attached to the rear of the lodge, while the back of the property includes a laundry building, charming studio cottage, and a second-story one-bedroom apartment overlooking the backyard and forest--ideal for an on-site manager. With its distinctive architecture, multiple accommodations, and exceptional waterfront spaces, Ramblers Lodge offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Fourth Lake history.
