We are fortunate that our home is on 5 acres that are pretty flat! 2. We see Deer around our apple trees almost every morning and night. 3. Many homes near the lake have neighbors very close by. We are fortunate that we are on a secluded road with little traffic and we have ample space between neighbors. 4. Many homes around Sacandaga Lake have little to no cell service. We are fortunate that there is a cell tower close to our home, so we tend to have good cell service. 5. Ready to wind down or just need to keep the kids busy? Smart TV’s are in all 3 bedrooms & the living room. Using guest mode, you can use your own log in for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, etc. and it will automatically log you out at the end of your stay! The Story: The Lazy Bear Cabin was built in 1990 but has recently been remodeled to become the retreat of our dreams and now we are ready to share it with you. Our yard is very spacious and there is lots of wildlife in the woods area, who knows, maybe you’ll even see a bear! We hope that you enjoy our cabin as much as we do. Life gets hectic and sometimes we need a gentle reminder to put ourselves first every now and then. We decided to name our home “The Lazy Bear Cabin” to remind of us that when we are at the cabin, it is okay to be “Lazy” and relax. The Great Sacandaga Lake is a man-made lake with a surface area of about 41 square miles and a length of 29 miles. The word Sacandaga means “Land of the Waving Grass” in the local native language. The primary purpose for the creation of the reservoir was to control flooding on the Hudson River and the Sacandaga River by use of the Dam. Water levels fluctuate depending on weather conditions and Damming but tend to be the highest at the beginning of the season and the lowest at the end.
