Photos and Description of the Lake Algonquin - Wells vacation house rental
2 bedrooms plus loft bed, bath and a half, sleeps 5 adults, Wi-Fi, Cable

Welcome to Whispering Pines Wells with its own private association beach that is just a three minute walk away.

This is a four season getaway retreat that was outfitted and furnished with the vacationer in mind. The first floor has a fully equipped modern kitchen and dining area, a living room with flat screen tv and a freestanding gas fireplace, a bedroom with full size bed and a bathroom with a tub and a shower, as well as a washer and dryer.

The upper level has a loft area with a twin bed and a desk, and a master bedroom that features a queen size bed. There is also a half bath.

A large front deck and a screen porch adds outdoor living space in the warmer months & has a porch glider, adirondack chairs and a patio table.

There is a fire pit for your evening enjoyment. A gas grill is also available for you to use.

Why drive for hours when a great vacation is so close? Whispering Pines Wells is a short drive from most anywhere.

In the winter months, it is only 20 minutes to Lapland Lakes cross-country skiing and 40 minutes to Gore Mountain. In the summer and fall, there are many hikes in the area to waterfalls, mountain tops and the Northville-Lake Placid Trail. A great bike ride is the 3.5 mile loop around the lake and through the town. In the spring, you can go fishing in the lake or one of many nearby rivers.

Inside Whispering Pines you will find wifi, cable, a blu-ray player with Netflix and Pandora, books, games and puzzles and an iPod speaker. There is a fully outfitted kitchen with a k-cup coffee maker, crock pot and a blender. Outside there is a large flat yard, hammock and chairs, two kayaks, a 15' canoe and a Sunfish sailboat, with all the accessories. There are carts for transporting the watercraft the short two minute trip to the launching area.

We enjoy the Southern Adirondacks and have been vacationing in this area since we were children. For a long time, it has been a dream of ours to own a home on a lake and in the mountains. Our hope is to share our good fortune with families like you, who want to enjoy the fun and excitement of Lake Algonquin and all the magic that this region offers, but then want to retreat to the whispering pines, to reflect on the day, and dream about tomorrow.

Let us be your hosts for your next vacation.

Fantastic home away from the city!

Submitted: November 27, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My friends and I drove up from New York City for the Thanksgiving weekend. We were recommended this place by someone else who also owns a home nearby. She said that Paul and Monica's place would be a better fit for a group our size.

We fell in love with the place instantly. It was gorgeous and right by the lake. The house was fantastic. It is fully furnished and had pretty much every amenity that I can think of - plenty of silverware, coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave, tv, dvd player, iPod dock etc. It was clean, well lit, had a fully stocked kitchen, a comfortable and homely feel to it. They even had a bunch of jigsaw puzzles in the toy room.

The home sleeps 5 people comfortably - 2 in the master bedroom, 2 in the bedroom on the lower level, and 1 on the twin bed in the loft.

It was pretty cold when we were there, so we didn't get to explore the lake/beach area much. But there was a canoe, shed full of tors and an outdoor grill available for our use. The TV is kinda tiny given the size of the living room, but I wouldn't except anyone to really be looking to watch TV on a vacation anyway!

The town of Wells is very tiny and there's not much to do around there. So as long as you're willing to venture out to the neighboring towns, you should be okay wrt food/restaurants. Plenty of outdoorsy stuff to do. I can only imagine how amazing the place will be in the summer.

Paul and Monica were amazing hosts. They were prompt in responding to emails and answered all our questions.

I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend getaway or an even longer trip.

AN outstanding house with all things needed, nice quiet location, quaint town, not the hurried bustle of some other popular adirondack towns. House was immaculate when we arrived, with detailed instructions for locating all items. Ceilings fans really cooled the house during a very hot week. Those kayak wheelies are the cats meow! Nice fire pit. We will certainly be back next year! Thank you so much for a beautiful vacation! Best

We enjoyed our trip here immensely. The home was beyond our expectations. Everything we needed to make our vacation a great one! The town has very little to offer in conveniences however the bigger towns were not a bad drive away.

What a nice place!

We had a wonderful weekend in this cozy house. All amenities are included to spend a good time: canoe, fishing poles, BBQ, etc.

And the deck is amazing to have breakfast.
Owner's Response: Thank you for this wonderful review! Every time we go to our retreat, we always try to do one more project to add enjoyment for our guests. This weekend we added two full view storm doors to bring the outdoors "in" and add more of a breeze from the beautiful pines! I love this new addition! Also, my husband and his best friend constructed a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and enjoying a fire under the stars------another cozy addition! This fall we have plans for a screened in porch on the Park Road side of our retreat. We are always thinking how to make everyone's stay more enjoyable. There is nothing more wonderful then hearing that our guests have had a super time! We look forward to having you return----you are always welcome!

Modern vacation living in a lakeside setting

The booking/researching process was very smooth wherein the owners -Paul and Monica were very upfront with all the required info. But, when we arrived, it was a complete shocker since whatever they said was true and more.

Some highlights:
1) New house, solidly built
2) COMPLETELY stocked with everything that you need to stay in a house
3) Modern kitchen and bathroom, TV with cable and netflix, DVDs etc
4) Canoe & Kayaks (2) with PFD, Skis, snow shoes, hammock, propane grill etc
5) Canoe/Kayak landing (Lake Algonquin) around 75 metres away
5) 1 hour drive to Lake George and Lake Luzerne
6) Close to boat landing on Lake Sacandaga.

We were also completed on "our fabulous looking house" by some passers-by.

Our kids had so much fun that they refused to return home to reality!

Being from the city, we loved our 4 day stay at this 'retreat' and such high are our current expectations that any future homeaway rental would have a hard time fulfilling them.
Owner's Response: Thank you, Ari and family, for the very kind review! We are always so happy when someone enjoys our "retreat" as much as we do! We love it there and want to share the beauty of the Adirondacks and Lake Algonquin with families like yours who will treasure every moment there. You and your family are always welcome to visit again, and we hope you come again! Sincerely, Monica and Paul Shelmandine
