• What we experienced

  4/5

  Overall our stay was good. Very comfortable with a lot of privacy. The house is very secluded with lots of privacy. Huge yard with plenty of room for the kids to play and explore. Great to have a grill to utilize and a nice fire pit. Furnished would but very little kindling to start a fire but plenty of woods around to forage from. It is very dark so on clear night you get a sky full of stars. The front porch was great to sit on the two person gliding seats to sit on watching the kids play outside. Inside had the smell like it just opened after not being used for the season. Which the additions smelled fine, it’s just the old cabin part. The old cabin section had a lot of character and very cool decor that ties into the history of the regions past along with some neat vintage pieces that reflects the cabins age. One end has an updated addition for a living room that was very cozy and inviting. Huge windows let in a ton of natural light. The furniture is tastefully done and and very comfy. It was a little frustrating, there was a direct tv remote but no tv remote to change the import to switch to the kids video games. The kitchen had all the essentials needed to cook and clean and functioned well. The placement of the fridge is interesting. Would maybe swap with the little monster fridge. The table was great to have meals as a family but the table was old with a table cloth designed to make it look nicer than it was. The two bedrooms we newer and nicely finished. Plenty of places to sleep and again big windows with abundant natural light. the furniture was themed for a hunting lodge with timber beds and beautiful finish above one of the windows. Had a portable a/c but would have liked a fan. The cat walk between the two rooms was a really nice touch allowing a pleasant view of the lower level. The hot water was an issue. With a family of 4 we found ourselves taking long pauses between showers so everyone could have a warm shower. The ride to lake George from there was manageable, on average 30 mins. The roads are back country roads winding thru the mountains for some nice views. The value we got besides some minor manageable things exceeded the price we paid. Though note, you must bring your own sheets and some pillow cases along with towels and hand towels which we brought along with us our own blankets which honestly having our own from home made us a little comfortable. We would recommend.

  "Hi Patrick, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your stay. We believe the kitchen table is still in good working condition and continues to serve its purpose well. The air conditioning in the larger room is designed to cool the entire space effectively, and we've found that it typically does the job. We chose the antler fixture to add a rustic, decorative touch to the home. As for hot water, it's common for water heaters to take a moment to catch up, especially after multiple uses in a short time. We appreciate your review and the opportunity to improve future guest experiences."

• Quiet and Private Cabin

  4/5

  My family of four rented this cabin for five nights. It is very private with lots of trees surrounding it. It has a spacious kitchen with the larger of the two bathrooms attached to the kitchen. The smaller bathroom is upstairs attached to the second bedroom. There is no bathroom attached to the master bedroom. The downstairs living room has several comfortable couches and a large TV. There is a closet with board games that can be used. The upstairs has the master bedroom with a king sized bed and futon. Maple trees grow right next to the windows of the master bedroom and this makes for a beautiful view of being right in the trees. The second bedroom has the smaller bathroom with a shower stall attached to it as well as two queen beds and a full bed. Be sure to bring your own sheets, pillow cases, blankets, and bathroom and kitchen towels as these are not provided. The front porch has a nice area to sit with a small table and several chairs, some of which rock. The hammock in the yard is very comfortable. We were hoping to use the fire pit, but it rained on the two nights we were hoping to have a fire. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. If you are looking for a private, wooded, quiet location about 15 minutes from stores and restaurants, etc then this would be a good place for you.

• Very Pleasant Stay

  5/5

  The house was lovely and the kitchen was stocked with pans/utensils which we appreciated. My only complaint is that the maintenance man arrived twice with no prior warning from the hosts. Not a huge deal, but I would have appreciated a heads up so our cars could have been moved and not blocked in.

  The property is well kept, love the log cabin. Just if you’re driving at night ferry to want to find the turn in to the property. Other than that all is good. Didn’t have any conversation to contact manager. It was no need would recommend. Lisa and J.
