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) .
Roberta McColl purchased this chalet in 1987
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.
Amazing property! Perfect combination of old and new and best sleep I’ve had in a long, long time; entire family had a blast. Woke up to deer mulling around on the property and fresh snow fall. Played board games with the family at night, in front of the wood stove. Pizza place up the street is fantastic and can go up against the best.
Thank you so much, Roberta! Only there for two nights this trip but hope to return soon for a longer stay - Alex
Our group had a lovely time at this chalet.
The location was perfect. It was great to be able to have a place of our own to escape to after a large family gathering. There was only one issue that our host dealt with perfectly. We would love to stay again in the near future. Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful Chalet.

Easy to say this chalet has become our getaway destination, having stayed there in August and October. Setting sights for summer 2018. Continue to be amazed at how well stocked the chalet and its accompanying lean-to is. Roberta has accounted for every opportunity that could present itself, from indoor comforts to camping/hiking gear and more. Waking each day to a gorgeous sunrise view of the mountains was breathtaking and serene.
The cottage is a perfect small place that can handle both small families or large crowds. It is very well stocked and has the necessary amenities that make for a comfortable stay.
This is a little gem in the heart of the Adirondacks, right off the road but very quiet and the views are gorgeous. The lofted ceilings in the main room make it feel large and airy, and there are a lot of rooms to sleep in. My husband and I went for a little getaway, but we'd definitely return with the family. Indian Lake and Blue Mountain lake are close by, with lots of fun activities. The kitchen was great, appliances and all the pots and pans you'd need. Very clean and lots of extra blankets. The only downside was that the beds are older and not very comfortable, but luckily there were air mattresses in the basement, so if you have a bad back, bring one with you!
Short walk to town ice rink and activity hut . State Scenic Overlook up the hill.
Snowmobile paradise. February Winter Festival. Cross-country/sleding right on property. Gore Mountain/Garnet Hill 25 minute drive. White Water Capital - Indian River to the Hudson. Hiking, mountain climbing, fishing at hand. Three lakes nearby. Adirondack Museum in Blue Mt. Lake (part of Indian Lake). November hunting parties reserve early. Hamlet of Indian Lake has supermarket, country store, gift shops, sporting goods store, restaurants. There is something sporting to do at every season. Mall shoppers, forget it!!
