Poised on a rock wall at the edge of Lake John, Edgewater Cove feels like it's practically floating on the water. The property's back porch is the best spot to enjoy the scenery, with views that extend across the spring-fed lake. It's a natural playground in the warmer months, with plenty of opportunities to swim, kayak, and become pen pals with a fish. In the winter, guests can ice-fish and snowshoe around the lake or ski at neighboring Powder Ridge.

The lake house easily accommodates families of six to eight, with three bedrooms on the upper level accessed by a whimsical spiral staircase. There's also a full kitchen with a breakfast bar, as well as a dining room overlooking the lake. On chilly nights, the great room's fireplace makes it an especially cozy place to hang out.
