Welcome to Lady on the Lake - Your Year-Round Escape in Essex, NY

Nestled on the tranquil shores of legendary Lake Champlain, the vacation rentals at Lady on the Lake are more than just a place to stay—they’re your home base for relaxation, exploration, and connection with the natural world.

Located in the heart of historic Essex in Upstate New York, our six charming Adirondack-style cottages offer a cozy, private retreat in every season. Whether you're watching the leaves turn in autumn, snowshoeing through quiet winter woods, enjoying spring mornings, or paddling the lake under summer skies, Lady on the Lake is where memories are made.

At the heart of Lady on the Lake are its dedicated owners, whose backgrounds in architecture and design are reflected in every thoughtfully curated detail. From layout to lighting, linens to lake views, they take pride in creating a space that is both beautiful and welcoming. Every cottage has been designed with comfort, character, and care in mind—and they are always open to feedback, knowing that the best stays come from listening to the guests who make this place special.

Guests are welcome to enjoy our private dock, perfect for morning coffee, afternoon swims, or launching a kayak to explore the shoreline.

At Lady on the Lake, we believe in the simple magic of nature, the joy of slowing down, and the peace that comes with stepping away from it all. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a quiet solo escape, we invite you to make yourself at home—and to return season after season.
