BEWARE- Online Description is not accurate
We left the property and started refund process within just a couple of hours of arriving. Exterior of House looks nothing like the photos online: Grass was not mowed, trash was on the front porch, paint was chipping, chairs were broken and taped together, back door to house was unlocked. Interior was no better; shower floors and walls were rusty, bath mats were wet and soiled, freezer had dried blood on the interior, beds did not appear to be freshly made with clean sheets since previous guests, mousetraps with dead mice on the mantle and fireplace hearth. After speaking with the owner about my concerns, she agreed to send out her cleaning lady. The cleaning lady showed up at 6 pm to mow the lawn only. Cleaning lady shares with us that photos online and description are old and from the previous owner, the current owner describes the bathroom and shower situation as “glamping”. The cleaning lady also believes that someone may be entering the house through the unlocked back door and staying there without permission. Although the view from the dock was just lovely and it is very difficult to find accommodations in such a remote area on short notice, we decided to leave in hopes that we would get our money refunded. I stay at VRBO properties quite a bit and I trust their product. However, This listing on the website needs to be updated immediately. This experience was incredibly disappointing, very inconvenient and expensive for my family

Great ADK Lake Experience
Rustic, authentic Adirondack Lake House with plenty of room for the family. Plenty of outdoor equipment including a great dock to fish off of. Indoors was cozy with plenty of warming options on chilly nights and rainy days. Kitchen was well equipped and very spacious. Multiple dining areas including a very nice sun porch. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for authentic lake house experience.

The Pleasant Lake Stay
Beautiful, clean lake. Wonderful location right on lake. Loved the kayaks and the floats. Big country kitchen with all kinds of pots and pans and everything one needs. The shower has issues that need to be addressed. It drains very slowly. I understand the house is old and that adds to its charm but not when it comes to plumbing. That needs an overhaul. We had an awesome and wonderful time and will come again once the plumbing is improved.

Great Lake House
Our summer stay was excellent. We had great weather, the lake was perfect. Kayaks and inflatables were well utilized. And the water was warm and swimable from dock and small beach, perfect for the kiddos. The room set up was perfect for our group, and the kitchen was big and functional. The lawn was not mowed, the shower bathroom was in rough shape, the grill is tiny, and the paddle board was broken. We couldn't get in touch with property manager, which wasn't a huge deal, but first night baby had to sleep in bed with us because we couldn't find the pack n play. All in all, it was good, and can't beat the Lake front location.

The house was very charming and big enough for the 10 of us! The best part was having the beautiful lake in our backyard! Wish it was available in July so we could enjoy the dock and the kayaks more. Improvements could be queen not full sized beds, update shower and that’s it! Contact person was amazing and very helpful

Needs updating and New Housekeepers!!
The good things, the kayak the paddle boat even though the paddle boat was filthy and we had to clean it out. The dock was nice but does not look like the picture it looks very old when you see it up close hasn't been painted and I don't know how long. The view was fantastic and the patio was nice to sit on in the morning with a cup of coffee. Now all the bad stuff, picnic table was all torn up looks like it hasn't been taking care of at all. The lawn was not mow , couldn't have a fire outside cuz the grass was so long around the fireplace, didn't tell us where the wood was we just happened to come across it when we went in the shed to get the life jacket also the steps leading up to the shed was dangerous when one of the ladies almost fell. That's probably not all of it but I can't remember it all. I would not recommend it for the money that they want for it that's just crazy. Beware!!!

Beautiful location
The house was very pretty, comfortable, and generally well-equipped. The views over the lake were beautiful, and the hiking trails were close and convenient. The fireplace was so warm and easy to use, and the general feeling was cozy and relaxing. The kitchen had plenty of supplies for cooking, although the coffee maker is small. The microwave and refrigerator were large and clean. Our only issue was the bathroom downstairs was dirty - hair still in the shower drain, rusted walls in the shower, and the entire room in desperate need of an overhaul. Also, the kitchen oven didn't look like it had been cleaned in ages. I ended up scrubbing the kitchen and bathrooms down, just because of my own cleanliness issues. However, the owner was quick to respond to my email about the issues. In general, I would stay again, because we had a wonderful time and loved the location. The beds were comfortable and the place was very warm, even in the snowy cold weather. For families with young children, there was a lovely kids room with a chalk wall. There was also a great supply of books and dvd's. However, I'm hoping the owners start to devote some funds to repair the bathroom and/or get a better cleaning crew.

Beautiful location but a bit more rustic than expected.
This house is in a great location, tucked back in the woods, very private and right on the lake. We all skipped some stones one afternoon! The view was great! It has comfortable beds, a huge kitchen/dining room table and has lots of bedrooms. In those respects it was a good fit for our family. A couple of things could be improved for future visitors comfort and convenience. The cell service is not just spotty, it's not available. I'm not sure there is a fix to this but we had several brands and carriers, none of them got any service in the house. This is a nice feature when you are trying to get away from it all, but if there were a medical emergency handling it would be a bit of a challenge. There is WiFi that is a bit slow but does work. The cleanliness of the home could be much improved. The oven and floors, especially in the kitchen, were in need of a really good scrubbing. The shower is very camp-like as is the rest of the house. One of the bedrooms was missing the door which doesn't work that well when there are multiple families sharing the house. I alerted my contact to an electrical issue in the kitchen light, perhaps a short. Needs more lighting in all the rooms. This might be a new listing for this renter and so maybe it just needs a bit more work to make it a five-star gem.

Winter Weekend Getaway
Booked this house for a winter weekend with friends from college. The house is quaint and warm. The lake/setting is absolutely breathtaking. The fireplace and wood burning stove made our snowy/frigid weekend warm and cozy. We had a little trouble with the water but the temps were below freezing and not above 20 for the entire weekend and it didn’t deter us at all. Thank you Doris and Jason for providing a true getaway in this crazy busy world....we loved it!

House at the lake
Its very pleasant house with a beautiful view. We enjoyed board games and dvds available at the house. It was a cold day outside but inside nice and warm. It just my opinion but I wish it was updated stove, I don’t think it is important for everyone but for me it was kinda uncomfortable to use electric stove. Enjoyed everything else available in the house. I loved cute decorations owner put around the house, looks like a hand of a professional interior designer. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake activities. My family loved the house! Thank you so very much for letting us stay!

Ladies Autumn Getaway
The house was as expected - charming and rustic. The full bath REALLY needs to be updated and the light repaired. The kitchen area was big and cozy, but having lights under the cabinets would have been idea. Under cabinet lighting would have helped when preparing meals and cooking. The one kitchen light in the center of the kitchen is inadequate. The sun room was lovely but cold since the space heater in that room was not working. The road to the property is dangerous. The address was hard to see from the highway since it was not lit up (there were lights around the address –but they didn’t function). The road to the property is dangerous. The road has deep and long ruts in it, which made it hazardous. We also saw mice – one in the kitchen and one on the side of the chimney. Although overall we enjoyed our stay, but for reasons already mentioned I would not book this home it again

Beautiful, cozy adorable place to get off the grid !!
We had a great time. This house was beautifully rustic and fun to spend some time with family and friends. Can’t wait to come back over summer. Only suggest a few things. The hot water didn’t last more then 1 shower. We needed to wait for hot water to come back often The weather was cold and rainy so we wanted to build fire but the wood left was damp and not seasoned so it was a struggle to build fires in the beautiful fire place. There was no duraflames left so we struggled to find ways to start and keep the wet wood burning. Also, the light at top of walkway outside did not work so the walk down to home in the dark was really really dangerous because of the ice. Can use better lighting around home and some ice melt. No tv available. Would have liked to have TV service available especially in New Years. Missed the ball drop and WiFi not strong enough to stream anything but over all Loved loved loved this house. Can’t wait to go back for summer !

Beautiful property, everything that we needed was available.
We loved the cozy feel, with two fires to keep us toasty and warm. The kitchen is fabulous with a table large enough for us to play games and have a great feast! Since this is our Halloween themed weekend we caved pumpkins on the deck and decorated the inside. Since this is our annual trip and we enjoyed it so much we hope to come back next year!
