Hot Tub, Private Dock, Quiet Lake Home

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to welcome you to The Glass House! Here are a few things I think you’ll especially enjoy about the house. Highlights – You’ll love the:
Peaceful waterfront setting – tucked away on the lake, yet just minutes to town
Year-round hot tub – the perfect way to unwind after hiking, skiing, or exploring
Family-perfect layout – two spacious levels with a game/media room and screened porch
Fast WiFi & dedicated workspaces – ideal for remote work or extended stays
Kayaks & life vests – easy, safe access to the water for all ages

Welcome to The Glass House, a serene lakefront escape where modern comfort meets the simple pleasure of being on the water. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down - listen to the breeze through the trees, watch the light dance across the lake, and settle into vacation mode.

A short flight of stairs leads to the main living level, where sweeping lake views anchor the great room, kitchen, and dining area. The chef’s kitchen is a true standout, equipped with professional-grade appliances and thoughtfully stocked with nearly every tool you might need. Gather around the dining table, or relax in the great room beside the stone fireplace, with sunlight pouring in through expansive windows and doors that open to the deck and screened-in porch - perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings overlooking the water.

This level also features two king bedrooms. The primary suite offers a private bath and its own balcony for peaceful moments outdoors, while the second king bedroom includes a desk for work-from-home stays and easy access to the hallway bath. Downstairs, the lower level is designed for connection and play. The cozy family room includes a large-screen TV, ping pong table, and a well-stocked collection of books and games. You’ll also find two additional bedrooms, a full hallway bath, laundry room, and a bright exercise/play room with lake views - complete with yoga mats, weights, balance balls, and plenty of open space for kids to move and unwind.

Outdoors, the property unfolds gently toward the lake, with a mix of open lawn and wooded privacy. A small stream meanders through the land, wildlife is abundant, and the star of the show - Trojan Lake - awaits. This quiet, 26-acre lake is ideal for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing, shared only with a handful of nearby homes. A short walk or a leisurely paddle downstream leads to a perfect swimming spot, making it easy to spend full days immersed in nature.

PLEASE NOTE
RENTAL AGREEMENT: Please know that our insurance, local permitting regulations and licensing requires all guests to sign a rental lease agreement, which will need your full name, email, and contact telephone number. It must be completed within either 48 hours of booking, or at time of booking if you are purchasing a same day stay.

CANCELLATION AND INSURANCE: For added peace of mind, we highly recommend all guests purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. Travel insurance ensures you are able to receive reimbursement for a covered event should circumstances arise that prevent you from traveling and many plans cover for unexpected illness, delays, work or weather-related changes. Please confirm with your chosen travel insurance company as to a comprehensive list of all covered events. Please note, we are not able to issue a cancellation, trip change, or refund outside of our cancellation policy and will refer you back to your travel insurance should your trip plans change. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we want you to enjoy a stress free stay.

UTILITY OUTAGES: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with mostly overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. We do keep emergency supplies at the house, and, of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.

WATER SAFETY: This is a waterside property directly on a lake, and minors and young children should be supervised at all times when near the waters edge. Various sized life jackets are at the home and we strongly encourage everyone to wear one when at or on the water. High temperatures can also see algae come to the lake, and it is advisable to avoid it when possible and to shower after any contact, both humans and pets.

WEATHER: During the winter months there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. We are in the mountains so anything is possible! If snow or freezing rain is forecast, it may be prudent to bring chains for your vehicle. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” or more accumulation but we cannot guarantee an exact time for the plowing as the crews are often unreachable and out of cell service areas for much of the day. This house has a steep / and or long driveway and extra caution is warranted. Please allow extra time when departing. We do supply snow shovels and pet-friendly salt at each of our properties for extra safety.

FIRE-PIT: The outdoor fire-pit is available in spring, summer, and fall. In winter, there may be times when it is fully covered in snow. Unfortunately, because of safety rules and regulations, we need to position our fire-pits some distance from the house and it can be very hard to dig pathways to the fire-pit for safe access. We therefore do not guarantee that our fire pits will be available to guests during the snowy winter months.

TRAVEL INFO: As we do not give weather related refunds, it is advisable to keep yourself updated on weather conditions via 511NY, which offers real-time traffic, transit, weather, and travel info for all commuters, tourists, and commercial operators across the whole state via phone, web, and app. It`s New York`s official system for up-to-the-minute road conditions, incidents, and travel planning for every region.

PRIVACY: Guests have full and unhindered access to the property in its entirety, with the exception of certain locked closets, basement areas, or garages - if applicable - that the owner may have secured. We want all guests to enjoy uninterrupted time at the home, however, there may be visits from seasonal maintenance staff for essential exterior tasks such as mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, pest control, or plowing. While we try to have them visit in the short periods between guests, this is very often not possible, especially during the hectic summer months or because of adverse weather. They will never need to be inside the house without your authorization, but they may need to be on the exterior of the property itself.`

EASY BREEZY CHECK-OUT:
We don’t believe in burdening guests with a long list of requests, but do ask for help with the following in order to keep the home safe, secure, and in good condition for all visitors.
• Please make sure you take out the trash, this helps with smells and potential pests.
• We ask that you place all used dishes in the dishwasher and hit start.
• Please extinguish all fires and fuels, inside and out, and cover the BBQ once cooled.
• In winter, please make sure the heat is turned down to 60*
• In summer, please make sure the AC is left at 70*
• Upon departure, please make sure lights are turned off and windows and doors are locked.
