The property was beautiful! The morning coffee views are breathtaking. The owner is responsive and provides wonderful recommendations. The renovations were beautiful, and we cannot wait to return!
This was a great location. Kinda in the middle of the Adirondacks so anywhere you wanted to go was an easy trip. The chalet was cozy and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The weather was typical fall weather with some rain, sun, and a chill in the air. This did not stop us from hanging on the deck to take in the dramatic show of the clouds scraping across the mountain tops. If you're looking for a central location, but someplace you want to hang out in between adventures, then this is the place.
We stayed at this home for 16 days in the early fall...it was a great place to use as a base to explore the area. We hiked, paddled, swam, took a boat tour of Long Lake, went on a seaplane ride...and even attended a Moose Calling contest :). The home's central location makes it perfect if you want to explore that region of the Adirondacks. It's a comfortable home with a lot of charm and character, and the spectacular views from the back porch are to die for! There's even a really neat fire pit and lean-to just down the hill from the house...you feel like you're out in the wilderness, even though the home is just a few steps away! Roberta (the owner) was very responsive to any needs or concerns. We would definitely return here.
This cabin is set in a beautiful wild flower garden with wonderfully tended grounds and amazing mountain views! Our family had a great time exploring the property and the lakes around it. Absolutely gorgeous property! The cabin on the main floor was perfect, however my family could not use the first floor at all. The musty smell, although we opened all windows doors and fans were on...did not disappear. :(
My brother had a full on asthma attack trying to sleep down there. No worries, he is ok! Overall, a great time!
I'm sure this will be a nice stay once the construction downstairs is completed. Wish host had disclosed the rennovations weren't done. The unfinished stairs were off-limits for the children.The views are lovely, and there was enough room for sleeping arrangements.
We absolutely loved our time in the chalet. It was so cozy & has the most beautiful views. The owner has done a wonderful job with the landscaping outdoors & there are so many sweet touches inside to make you feel at home. We will treasure our memories from our stay & we hope to visit again.
Great place to stay for a central location to do hikes and such. Private and relatively quiet. You can hear the cars on 30 but it's not bad at all. Lots of room. Beautiful scenery. Great deck to hang out on. Perfect place to come back to after a day out and about.
We needed a place to stay to attend my fathers memorial service. The chalet was perfect. Loved the view and all the special touches that made the place so homey and comfortable.
The house is very cozy, with a beautiful view. if you want to spend a few days in peace and quiet, I recommend this house. The hostess is always in touch.
We are repeat customers.
My husband and friends and 1 dog loved our stay.
My siblibgs and their families rented nearby and came to visit.
The Indian Ridge Chalet is in a great location to the center of town (Indian Lake) down the road and routes leading to other attractions.
Roomy and has multiple bathrooms.
My only suggestion - If you plan to come when it's really warm - you might want to bring more fans with you - the house does get full sun.
Definitely will look to return.

We spent a week at the chalet in October of 2022.
It was a wonderful experience. Grand views from the deck looking over the mountains The location is excellent and central to the Adirondacks. The chalet was large, well equipped and very clean. The owner was available and supportive. We could not have asked for more....
We hope to return again

We really liked this house. We had a good rest, it's very beautiful here. You can sit on the veranda and admire the beautiful view of the mountains. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for a great home base for checking out the area. Fit 2 families of 4 comfortably. The place is right on the main road, but that didnât matter since the view out back and outdoor space was private and large. Indoor area was as expected- loved the historic feel â and that there was a dishwasher. Centrally located.
Lovely Property - Excellent back deck mountain view. Plenty of rooms for sleeping and restrooms. There's a campfire pit area a short path away. We experienced 2 days of a heat wave and there were plenty of fans - the front bedroom or the bottom floor were the best sleeping options on these heat wave days. Definitely would like to return.
Our Indian Lake camping/fishing/hiking family purchased Indian Ridge Chalet, an all-year-round vacation house because we wanted to be able to go up for "white water" rafting in the spring, cross-country (Garnet Hill), downhill (Gore Mountain), snow-mobiling and spectacular fall foliage This area has something to do every season, pristine lakes everywhere, a Town skating rink up the hill, boating and biking plus the world acclaimed Adirondack Museum (regional museum) in a part of our town called Blue Mountain Lake (part of Indian Lake) .
It is user friendly, especially for extended families as it can accommodate 10 adults plus a few kids!? It is well equipped and furnished without being slick and fussy. Had a Connecticut sculptor do an "Adirondack Wildlife Totem Pole" from a troubled spruce tree stump about 14 feet tall at entry-way. A wild meadow garden is part of the entry path. The property is on one of the Designated Views in the Park, It is private, yet easy access to Town. The picnic area has a small "farm" pond for the wildlife with an authentic Adirondack lean-to, picnic table, and fire-pit with wood provided.
The mountain views from the Chalet are quite exceptional. (The Bullhead Mountain Range and Siamese Pond Wilderness area) Central location in the ADIRONDACK PARK. ( The largest public park in the USA). We are about 40 minutes from Lake George (lots to do and see there) and about 1.5 hour drive to the Lake Placid area . Local lakes are Indian Lake (canoe and boat rentals and super camping areas), Lewey Lake, Adirondack Lake, and Lake Abanakee.
