We had absolutely no problems finding the house and it was very nice of Mike (who was very helpful for the whole process btw) to send us MapQuest directions. The information packet that was sent to us about the house prior to our visit was very helpful indeed and we did find ourselves referencing it a few times throughout our trip. Upon arriving at the house it was even nicer inside than the pictures show, it looked completely remodeled but not overly so, still had a nice "homey" feel to it. The week that we stayed it was not as hot as it had been the previous weeks so we did find ourselves using the fireplace and that was great - very romantic. We traveled with our two small dogs and they had a blast - our Pomeranian was not on a leash the whole time and she loved that - our Shiba had to be on the leash sometimes as he was a bit more of an explorer and there were lots of frogs at night and he had to learn the hard way that you should never put a frog in your mouth, wind-up with a foamy mouth! We brought the dogs lifejackets and got some rafts and tied them to the dock and floated around with them on our laps - that was very relaxing. We didn’t do much of anything other than relax the whole week so I cannot comment on any of the attractions but we did have a very relaxing and fun vacation. Lake George is not very far away and we did go a few times but mostly we just stayed in and read our books and took in the beautiful view!! We would definitely stay again - thanks Mike & Grace

We have been renting this house for 3- 4 years now and have never been disappointed. Always clean and lots of space for all of us to sleep. Relatives come from VA every year to go to the track and this is just the best place we have stayed, close proximity to the track and Lake George. We have always been happy. Owners are very gracious and accommodating. Give it a try, very peaceful location, gorgeous views.

Owners response: We take great pride in providing an extraordinary value to our guests and are happy that so many choose to return year after year. We strive to ensure that your vacation experience is wonderful, by providing all of the 'little things' that could otherwise make a vacation go off track. Board games, DVDs, CATV, Wi-Fi, long distance phone, watercraft, BBQ gas, etc are all included in the rental price so you don't have to waste precious vacation time tending to these details. The location is great, the house is immaculate, and the views are fantastic. Give us a try; you will be glad that you did! Mike & Grace, Owners.

What a great place to relax and unwind...just watching the river pass by. We had 6 adults and 2 teenagers and there was fun for all. The house was amazing a river veiw from every room, we really enjoyed the gas fireplaces so cozy and easy to use. We made a fire every night in the fire pit and many smores were had. The house was very clean and well maintained. We would definatly stay again in fact we have already inquired about a fall getaway..the river is calling me back.

This was one of the best, most relaxing vacations I've ever been on. This is a beautiful location on the Hudson River about 15 miles from the hustle and bustle of Lake George(close enough, but not too close).My family went for the week with 5 grand children ranging from 8 months to 6 years old. There is a large yard for children to play in,the dock area is spacious and a great place to sit and fish or just watch boats on the river. The owners were a pleasure to deal with.They have a canoe and kayak to use and other boaters are very courteous about slowing down so as not to create a large wake by you when on the water.You're not cramped into a hotel room the size of the living room of this house.Check hotel rates for the area during the summer and you will see what a fantastic deal this is.We will definitely rent here again.

We meaning about 6 adults and 3 kids stayed and there was room on the property for a trailer so there was 2 adults and 3 kids out there . We had the best time fishing and swimming .The palce was great and so were the people that rented it to us !!!! Our kids had a make shift wedding of two 3 yr. olds .The kids had a blast in lake george. Very short drive. The ice cream store across from great escape was awsome, we went there almost every night.The only down fall is the bugs at night , but just bring some bounce dryer sheets and you will be ok . Was one of the best family vacation in our lives we are planning to come back every year.
