The property was amazing!!! It was very spacious with the rustic look of a log cabin inside. It was secluded and close lake george and saratoga, We've made this an annual trip, but this was by far one of the best places we've stayed. We'll be back next year!!!!

Great Cottage for a Weekend Retreat!
A bunch of college buddies get together once a year, to hang out and catch up. We are fairly spread out across NY and New England, so we find a central cottage to meet at in the Adirondacks every year. Finding a place with enough bedrooms and things to do is always the challenge as we like to know we can hang out all day if we are drinking or it is raining. This cottage was GREAT. Awesome communication from the owners. The cottage feels really updated and new. Internet was great. Loved the fire pit and foosball table. Highly recommend if you are looking to stay in this area!

Nurture your friendships is this lovely home
I reserved the Adirondack Retreat for myself and nine of my adult college friends and sorority sisters. We spent most of our time in the great room and screened in porch. The house is beautiful and the hosts added nice little touches like personalized notes, gifts and health and beauty supplies that made us feel welcome. The area was very close to Lake George where we went on a Tiki Boat ride and had dinner. The house had everything we needed in regards to heating up dinner and serving breakfast. We brought wood but due to rain we stayed mostly in doors although the yard is beautiful. I’d like to come again with my family. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and communicated with us quickly when we had questions. The kitchen was well stocked which helped because we cooked alot of meals in our 3 days there. Firestick was a nice touch on television Giving us more choices than just cable. Bathrooms were stocked with tons of different towels. Overall a great house in a decent location.

Great Ski Getaway!
Gene and Shae have a beautiful home and provided us with all the information, details, and what we needed (including a sweet gift at check in). The house was great, cozy, had everything we needed, and was a lovely retreat after a full day of skiing at Gore. The kids especially enjoyed the fire pit and throwing snowballs in the backyard. Would definitely return again, location to Gore was convenient, we were able to arrive and ski easily by 8:30am both days! A lovely home all around! Thank you!

Perfect weekend getaway
Cannot recommend this place enough! I rented this beautiful home with a group of friends for the weekend and we had the best time! The house was immaculate when we got there and Gene and Shae even left us an adorable little welcome box. The house was the perfect combo of getting to enjoy nature while not being too far away from Lake George activities. Gene and Shae were also so responsive to all our questions prior to checking in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
