Overall a very good time. Fun house for friends to hang out and relax. I'd consider installing A/C. Very hot in there and the humidity is destryoing all the nice woodwork. No real complaints though.
Everything 5 stars besides the people in town. They are rude to foreigners.
Good evening, Just returned today from our trip. For the most part we enjoyed out stay. There were few cons to our stay which I would you to point out. The most disappointing part was that the house had mouse infestation. Mouse excrements were in the kitchen drawers and cabinets. Unfortunately we used utensils and then we noticed mouse excrements in the drawers. Looks like cleaning service did not notice that, so I want you to make aware of that issue. I hoped you are able to waive the cleaning fee due to this problem as well. In attachment please find the pictures . In addition coffee maker (black one) is not working. The power is on but water doesn't flow to the pot. We were most of the day out (skiing) and only returned in the evening and only 2 people were able to shower in the hot water afterwards hot water was gone and we had to wait like another 2 hours for the hot water to be back . I emailed the owner in private message 5 days ago with no response and again 2 days ago... After I did not receive the response I am posting on public forum so people are aware what sanitary conditions are up for. I was trying to attach pictures but there was no option. If you guide me how to attach pictures I will gladly provide evidence.
The location of the home is great, and the home itself is very nice. Its unfortunate they took a home that could sleep 10-12 and restricted it to no more than 6, raised the rate and removed the water craft usage. The grill out back is charcoal and disgusting, the vents are rusted and the grates were caked with old grease and filled with ashes. We ended up cleaning it as best we could. Also the fire pit once again this year was full of ashes amd garbage, bottles etc. We again cleaned it out ourselves as it is never checked. Other rentals generally supply firewood for at least one small fire especially at the rate that is being charged but this property does not. There was garbage service that was added this year which is a great bonus however we only found out by chance because the maintenance person had to come to replace burned out bulbs put back. Otherwise we would not have know amd would have paid to go to the dump. Poor communication there.
The house was roomy and open and so very clean and accommodating with everything we needed
This house was so perfect for my family, the lake just a few houses away, the great backyard and firepit, the open airy floor plan with kitchen and living room, close proximity to Lake George, white water rafting on the hudson, restaurants, just perfect. We would stay here again for sure!
Overall, this place is a good value for the money -- three adult bedrooms and a kids' room with four solid bunk beds, two bathrooms with showers. The area is very quiet, in the woods but only 8 minutes from a small town. The backyard is nice. There are neighbors on all four sides, but it still felt private. There were some inconsistencies in the listing, though, that made it a little less than perfect stay. The listing made it seem like we would be in a very isolated area and need to bring in all groceries on arrival, as well as taking our trash to the town landfill before leaving. However, like I said above, the house is 8 minutes from a Tops grocery store and has regular trash pickup, so you can just use the outdoor trash bins. The booking said that Google maps lists the address wrong and to follow directions in the booking, but it did not include directions; it took three attempts to get a response from the property manager, who did send directions a few days before our trip, but it turned out that the Google map was actually correct after all. The listing did not include a grill but did include a pantry; there was a small charcoal grill alongside the fire pit (a nice option to know about), but there were zero pantry items, not even salt or pepper, and no trash bags. Finally -- and I say this as someone who grew up in a very rural area and dealt with a lot of critters -- there were an inordinate amount of spiders in the house, enough that they built webs in several places along the hallway at night.
Home was very clean and was perfect for us with large bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathrooms. Second time renting and will continue years to come every year. Highly recommend this home.
This is a great house, very spacious, comfortable and clean. Booking process was very simple and well organized. I highly recommend this house for a great location and lake near by. Will book again in the future.
We had a great stay, the house was perfect!
