We had such a relaxing weekend! Perfectly located, close enough to lake George to drive in for the day, but far enough out that you’re able to disconnect from busy life. Would love to come back in the winter to enjoy some skiing!
This was my 1st time using Vrbo and I’ll I can say is I’ll never use a hotel again . The house was great . Very comfortable the extra touches added to make the stay a pleasurable one were great . The location was perfect nice and quiet for a much needed getaway . Would definitely stay there again . Thank you
We enjoyed our stay in this rustic cabin. It had all we needed including a comfortable bed, a propane grill, hot water, fresh linens, and ample kitchen supplies. I would recommend this cabin for those looking to escape to the woods.
The property is clean and amazing! It is cozy and welcoming and a great choice for a family with children. The cabin is stocked with everything you need from cooking utensils to bedding to board games. There is a fireplace for nighttime family time and s’mores. And a grill for the times you feel like grilling. It is a charming old schoolhouse and personalized in a school setting. We loved it so much we recommended it to our friends. We look forward to spending time here again!
What a great little place . Had a great stay . If your looking for a nice quiet place this is the 1. The extra touches the owners make enhance the stay and make it much more comfortable and easy. Would definitely stay here again
Cozy house. Close to the mountain and lake George.
I would like to start by saying this is a very clean house. This is apparent when you first arrive. The level of seclusion is perfect. Just far enough away to get you out into nature, but close enough for any necessities or activities you might like to plan. Tucked away on a nice country road. The house is well stocked enough to feel like home. The history of the schoolhouse really adds to the charm. My kids and additional guests loved the upstairs with the beautiful pine wood. The downstairs has an excellent and open floor plan to allow for plenty of family time. The sauna is a welcomed extra that helps losen up the sore muscles from the days activities. Like the title says: cozy, clean, fun. My family will be back!
Clean and quiet spot to get away. Easy access to town.
Beautiful home in the ADK mountains on a country road. Surrounded by pretty mountains too! Perfect spot for a get away from the busy every day life routine. Firepit for an outdoor fire in the evening and a cute porch for a sunny breakfast....our children's favorite vacation spot! We will be back next summer
Cute place. It is small, but we were able to fit 2 adults and 5 kids (1 baby). Good for a home base (for us to the Lake George area - about 40 mins away), but don't expect much from the house, the property, or surroundings - I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a place to relax in all day. But clean, comfortable, and well stocked - everything we used worked fine. Definitely appreciated the fire pit and firewood. One negative is that the advertisement was a little misleading. There is air conditioning, but only for the downstairs - the upstairs loft (4 beds) was stifling when we were there so we all had to sleep on the downstairs couches and floor (luckily we brought a blow up mattress). The advertisement should really put a caveat on the A/C claim. Also, of lesser significance, the pictures in the advertisement are a little dated. For example, they show two dining tables - the second has been replaced by a bar-like table which is not as comfortable. But all in all, we would recommend.
This place felt like home. We enjoyed our stay.
The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The appliances (refrigerator/freezer, stove, microwave) were all newer. Everything we needed for cooking meals. Nice fire pit and a large supply of firewood. The decor was great. A short drive to North Creek, and a reasonable drive to the Lake George area.
