Overlooking beautiful Burden Lake, the gem of the Rensselaer Plateau, Hummingbird Cottage is a peaceful, comfortable, and adorable vacation home. Famous for its clear water, and excellent year-round fishing, Burden Lake is the largest lake in Rensselaer County. Kayaks and canoes are provided. Centrally-located, Hummingbird Cottage is 20 min from Albany, 40 min from Saratoga, 30 min from the Berkshires, and a one mile paddle to Kay’s Pizza! You will see eagles, ospreys, and, yes, hummingbirds! Woodsy, rustic, and private, with access to recreational activities on Burden Lake. Automobile suggested, but it is a $29 Uber ride from the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrack Station. Hummingbird Cottage is in a great area for walking and bicycling.
