Beautiful Waterfront - Skiing/Snowboarding/Snow Mobile near house

I was excited to return to this location, as my first stay in 2018 was so enjoyable. The property’s location is truly fabulous for getting to Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and Queensbury. The peaceful waterfront setting is wonderful, and the neighborhood is very quiet. Communication with the host was good.However, I was a bit disappointed this time around as the house seems to be in need of some attention. The overall cleanliness was okay, but we found cookies and a sock in the pullout couch and there were no sheets for it. Several other small issues stood-out, such as a moldy washer, broken bedroom closed doors, either missing our burnt-out light bulbs and a broken side screen door. The grill was also dirty and small, and it took us about an hour to clean it before we could use it. Given the number of needed updates and repairs, the price felt too high for the value provided.

The house was clean and the property was exactly like the pictures! Overall we were very happy with our stay. I was with fitness for a bachelorette party. We are all over 40 so we were looking for a place on the water, that was close to lake George, but that we were able to chill. It was perfect. The only down falls were that they need to invest in some new twin mattresses, we did not have extra towels, and there was no hand soap in any of the bathrooms.

After a recent three-night stay, I'm afraid I can't recommend this rental. I fail to understand the 9.2 rating (especially with such inflated fees). A previous review mentioned worn mattresses in upstairs bedrooms. They apparently hadn't been replaced, and backaches ensued for two of our family group of five. The downstairs master bathroom had a loose toilet seat. My infirm sister, who could use only that bathroom, worried the seat would slip and cause her to fall. She called Shawn, who told her he'd look into it. Didn't happen. More amenities (extra linens--especially for the pull-out; reading lamps & tables; bathmats; soap & shampoo; extra toilet tissue, some books..) would make guests more comfortable. There's not one extra pillowcase, but at least a dozen stained pillows. If you don't wish to cook with sulphury tap water, you'll need to bring loads of bottled water. The entire yard was covered in anthills. The grill had no grate, so was unusable. We enjoyed the river view, and fishing is good. But swimming is not possible due to the current, nor can one wade. Waters edge deemed unsafe for children. The house has some nice features: a/c & fans throughout, mostly what we needed in the kitchen, comfy sofas, pleasant dining room with a water view. But, it seems the host isn’t very interested in making repairs, replacing bad mattresses, or supplying what it takes to make a stay into a more comfortable one.

Serene and tranquil location right on the water. Spacious with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, big great room with fireplace. Lovely quiet neighborhood.

This was a third time staying at this house and we always have a great time. Can’t beat the location. Fishing and kayaking right from your backyard is priceless. Communication with the owner when needed is great.

Had a very nice week with my family. Was able to relax and enjoy the environment of the beautiful Adirondacks along with boating tubing skiing and spending some time in nearby Lake George.

Had some trouble with wi fi but eventually got it

Beautiful place to stay. Location was great. Had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend staying here.

In an odd trust of fate, we weren’t able to bring our boat This house was specifically chosen for its location and the fact it has a dock. Had we brought it, only to quickly learn the dock was essentially unusable since it is 3+ feet above the water line of water that is no more than a foot deep, combined with the issues below, we would have been demanding something be done. “Fortunately” we “only” had to contend with the lack of the following basic amenities: - Drinking water: tap water smells of sulfur. We had to buy many gallons of water for eating and drinking purposes. - Appropriate bedding. All the beds are beyond garbage. The couple that stayed in the master bdrm described their bed “concoction“ as “ghetto” and the nail marks and stains on the foam layer “gross”. The “mattresses“ in the twin bedroom both have craters in them and the mattress in the queen bedroom is stained and left that couple in back pain each and every morning. -Wi-Fi and TV. I note the host responded to my text messages; however, he never followed up to ensure all was in working order. They never were. We never had Wi-Fi or TV during our entire stay. - An extra roll of toilet paper, a filled soap dispenser, hand towel and a bath mat in each bathroom as well as extra (adult sized) towels. Granted, these are minor concerns that we would normally overlook; however, their absence speaks to the overall lack of care and maintenance of the property and the job, quite frankly, as a VRBO host.

This is a good location to use as a home base to then travel to other parts such as Saratoga Springs and Lake George. The Adirondack winery in Queensbury was excellent! This house has everything you need. It was beautiful to have coffee on the deck and drinks and s’mores at night by the fire !
