Mount Arab Lodge and Cottages, Adirondacks

Eagle Crag Manor is a large and roomy rustic wood frame cottage nestled between the trees of the surrounding Adirondack forest. Set back for privacy 100 feet from the shoreline of Eagle Crag Lake, you have a wonderful view of the water from both the living room and the generous screened-in porch. The cottage is paneled in knotty pine in some places, open to the studs and rafters elsewhere. A massive stonework fireplace dominates the living-dining area. Across the room, a stairway with balustrade of natural forest logs curves up to an overhanging balcony illuminated by clerestory windows.

Three bedrooms upstairs, and one down, provide plenty of sleeping space. You will find a double bed in one of the upstairs rooms, and twin beds in all the others. There is even a baby's crib.

Just inside the back door, you will find a compact kitchen with double compartment sink, refrigerator, gas stove with oven, counter space, shelves with silver, eating utensils, and cooking pots and pans, plus a bit of space left over to store your groceries. There is even a small corner 'breakfast' table separate from the dining area. Kitchen, and bathroom with shower, are provided with automatic hot water. There are electric lights and outlets, but no phone service or TV - the way most people like it. You may bring your own TV if you wish, but there is no cable hookup.
