Warrensburg, New York
Peaceful mornings on the porch. Listen and watch the trout brook flow by. Rustic and with upgrades for conveniences. You can hike on the 10 acres, swim in the pool or shoot a game of pool with a friend. The fire pit is the best at night or grill outside on the gas grill. It's all here. Please consider reading the positive 'reviews' about our 2 other vacation rentals listed on vrbo and know that we strive for the same quality at this home, too. They are # 300732, # 459630 and also # 499745.
Stayed for 3 nights with friends and family. Check in process is okay. The house is clean, all a/c were on. The pool is not that clean so I have to contact the manager and that’s the time they cleaned it. There’s only 3 bedrooms not 4, not a man cave but a pool table in a small space in the basement and no gym as what was advertised at the time of booking. Kitchen is complete with pots and pans. As much as we want to use the dishwashing machine, we can’t because there’s only 1 pc. of wash pod. They only supply 1 paper towel and 2 dish towels. We did a lot of cooking and eating so we just have to wash everything by hand. Front door is fine with locks but the back door’s knob fell. I messaged the manager and she said it will be fixed but nobody came so my husband fixed it. 2 unknown people claiming to be workers came by to check on the property and we reported to the manager but she never replied regarding that matter. Over all the communication with the manager during our stay in the property is not good. Expect all the creaking noise every time you walk because it is an old house.
The house has some issues. With some tlc could be a great place. Where some issues with water leaking from plumbing problems could not use pool table. Porches are in poor condition due to age of wood. Was some mold or mildew issues due to water leaks. Mattresss are old and worn out.
Overall, our stay was exactly what we wanted. One thing to note is that the service around the property is nonexistent so keep that in mind if that's important to you. Wifi is available at the property but it can be difficult when there are more than a few people trying to connect. The kids had so much fun in the pool and my family loved the privacy the property offers as well as the fire pit. The home has a very rustic, cabin-in-the-woods vibe to it. Glenda was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions I had. One thing I will note is that the home can get humid/warm at times especially downstairs but there are ACs and fans around the home to help combat this so it's not too bad. The cabin had everything we needed. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely book again!
We are an easy going family- we have a farm, spend our time outside- so the style and location of this house appealed to us for a 3 night visit. I started out upbeat, thinking the house was “quirky” with crooked stairs, wobbly door knobs, and squeaky floors. It was clean, kudos to cleaning crew. This house felt like it was a step above a seasonal hunting camp. A few quick fixes or easy updates would help a lot! Some notes to next visitors: upstairs shower needs all hot water, only drips of cold water to be comfortable; downstairs showers has the H/C faucets backwards… all still “quirky”, laugh it off. My 2 biggest complaints are how uncomfortable the upstairs bed was, and the dampness of the downstairs. The bed was lumpy, not something my husband and I looked forward to after being busy and hot all day! My son slept downstairs and woke up each morning with a sore throat, which went away as we got outside. It’s been a humid summer with almost daily rain-it’s totally a the struggle to keep things dry! Bunk bed room was fine for my daughter. There is no phone service while in most of that area so plan ahead- learn the roads as you drive around. Spotty GPS kept trying to tell us the house was on the other side of the road! I think the ad said weak WiFi but there was none. The house was sufficient. Obviously not fancy, we didn’t expect fancy. I didn’t mind the ants on the counters, but the mouse poop on the oven on the last day had me ready to pack up and head home!
The overall stay was great, besides, a few minor details, but Glenda replied, and they were taken care of. The cabin served its purpose. It’s very rustic and far off the grid if you like that kind of stuff. Kids enjoy the pool two days on the fire pit at night. Great stay. Thank you again Glenda ..
Property manager was helpful and kind
Loved it. Just would have liked some kleenex and spices. Would definitely do it again. Thank you!
Rooms felt smaller then what we saw in pictures. It’s in the woods so had some spiders and other insects kids didnot like it . Overall was a nice peaceful place and we liked it
Great experience cozy family fun
Let’s start with all the positives first. Check-in process was as easy as it could be. Kitchen, utensils, appliances were great! Living room was comfortable. Two bathrooms made it very convenient for the family. Washer, dryer worked great. It seemed to be centrally located between Lake George, Gore Mountain, and Lake Luzerne. Overall the property was clean and spacious. Having pets with us was a huge plus. Things that we felt were inconvenient and a bit unsafe. It is very far and remote if you want to be at Lake George multiple times a day. Driving up to two hours everyday got tiring. There is no landline. Cell phone service was nonexistent for us. Internet was down the first day and spotty for the rest of the stay. We had two kids with us and two elderly parents. This made it unsafe for us as we felt completely disconnected incase of any emergencies. The upstairs bathroom got damp by the end because it doesn’t have an exhaust fan. The heat was not working in that bathroom either. There was a new replacement baseboard heater leaning towards the wall and uninstalled. The pool got green by the second half of the stay. We couldn’t use it earlier due to weather and other activities. This is a good property if someone has a different situation than ours. We will not be booking it again because of our unique requirements. We did leave a generous tip.
I sent an email to the owner after we checked out, I did not get a response. The house needs a lot of work, included the windows that do not have screens so you can not open them. The upstairs does not have any screens there for you can not open the windows except for the small window in the bathroom. Unless you want a house full of bugs. The downstairs bathroom, the floor is rotting out. There was ants along the counter almost every day. The back door does not lock at all. The deck to the pool has a good size hole in it and the deck door does not properly close. Also the chairs around the pool area are not in the best shape, can not even sit in them!
