Sunrise Lake

Raelene was born and raised on Long Island, NY. She worked as a property accountant for a real estate development company for many years before settling down to raise a family.
Raelene’s parents purchased their original camp, “Vermont House,” on Sunrise Lake 50 years ago. Every summer since then has been spent swimming, fishing, boating, and catching frogs (which they name and let go). Sunrise Lake holds a very special place in all of their hearts.

Newly retired after 35 years of teaching I’m happy to become a board member serving as the secretary. Like the rest of our Sunrise/Sunset residents I love being on and in the water, walking/hiking and boating . Our family has enjoyed the lake for 73 years- 4 generations!

Perch Pond

Megan McCabe is a retired Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from Albany, N.Y. Growing up in a large family who spent summers on the shores of Lake George and Saratoga Lake searching for a lake home in a peaceful setting became a sought after goal. Perch Pond was the ideal spot and a home was purchased with husband Ken Kroopnick in 2018. They are frequently joined for weekends of biking, hiking, swimming, and kayaking by their sons from NYC and Boston. They all share a commitment to the environment and maintaining the special area around the lakes and pond.
