The house was better than we expected. Very clean and inviting. It slept 9 of us perfectly with plenty of room. We really appreciated the games and things in and out of the house to fill some time. My only cons are the location (very bad service and far from pretty much anything) and the slow wifi, the latter of which can easily be improved. I would stay again.

Lake George/Saratoga weekend

The property was amazing!!! It was very spacious with the rustic look of a log cabin inside. It was secluded and close lake george and saratoga, We've made this an annual trip, but this was by far one of the best places we've stayed. We'll be back next year!!!! Thanks to our host Gene &Shae SeeWellweagayear.looking forecast

Nurture your friendships is this lovely home

I reserved the Adirondack Retreat for myself and nine of my adult college friends and sorority sisters. We spent most of our time in the great room and screened in porch. The house is beautiful and the hosts added nice little touches like personalized notes, gifts and health and beauty supplies that made us feel welcome. The area was very close to Lake George where we went on a Tiki Boat ride and had dinner. The house had everything we needed in regards to heating up dinner and serving breakfast. We brought wood but due to rain we stayed mostly in doors although the yard is beautiful. I’d like to come again with my family. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Cottage for a Weekend Retreat!

A bunch of college buddies get together once a year, to hang out and catch up. We are fairly spread out across NY and New England, so we find a central cottage to meet at in the Adirondacks every year. Finding a place with enough bedrooms and things to do is always the challenge as we like to know we can hang out all day if we are drinking or it is raining. This cottage was GREAT. Awesome communication from the owners. The cottage feels really updated and new. Internet was great. Loved the fire pit and foosball table. Highly recommend if you are looking to stay in this area!
