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!

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
