Idyllic autumn weekend
Wonderful home to 9 of us enjoying a college reunion in October. Made good use of the fire pit, grill, and basement games. Location is excellent - ran out to Price Chopper for supplies - and of course the Lake is close. Had questions about the TVs which Kendall responded to with alacrity. Thank you Kendall and Larry!

Family Getaway
Lovely, secluded log cabin home with amazing views. Clean, spacious kitchen and living area made staying with a large family comfortable and the game room in the basement kept the kids occupied. Kendall was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Weekend
This is by far one of the best VRBO's we stayed in. Kendall the host is wonderful. She met us at the house at check in and briefed us on the amenities and off she went. Kendall is a gem! The house deep in the middle of the woods is so clean... immaculate!! Very spacious, comfortable beds and living area. Equipped with everything you need (except food of course). The game room was a bonus and was a hit for the whole family. The Village of Lake George is a very short driving distance with great places to eat, shop, rent boats, power sail and site see. If you want R&R this is the place to go to.

Gorgeous log home
House is lovely, very comfortable and really suited to a large group. Lots of room, spacious cooking area. 3 full bathrooms. It’s set deep into woods, so there really isn’t a path for walking/hiking. Great sunsets. The owner came to the house when I saw a smoke detector had been tampered with, and she came and installed a new one right away. Close to everything!

Great Place to Get Away from It All
Spent 4 nights at Kendall’s property with my wife and daughter along with my brother and his wife and children. This place is a great place to unwind with a sizable group! Very secluded log cabin home, but still just minutes off of I-87 and 10 minutes from Lake George Village. Wonderful views and sunsets over the Adirondacks. Fire pit to the side of the house got good usage. Very comfortable beds. Open kitchen/dining room/living room area. Kendall was a very responsive host that responded to my couple of questions during our stay within minutes. Highly recommend!

Adirondack Gold Mine
Stayed the weekend in early June for a rafting trip with some buddies. This house is an absolute gem. Rustic vibes, secluded property, killer views, fire pit... it really captures all the authentic mountain lodge feels. The first level is great for gathering and we really got a kick out of the strategically arranged decor. After returning from the river, we dried off proper by the fire pit. Just make sure to bring some spare wood! Our time was unforgettable - we might have to make this rafting trip an annual retreat!

Ski weekend
What a great weekend we had with family and some of my sons friends! The house was amazing with the best views EVER! There was plenty of room for everyone, the kitchen was well stocked and the basement had lots of games to entertain the kids! And Kendall was definitely a Super Host! She answered all of my questions prior to and during our stay very promptly and even brought us extra wood and a lighter for the fireplace! If we ever come back to Lake George, we will definitely be staying here again!

The place was gorgeous and very welcoming. We will definitely return/recommend this place to family and friends. The only thing was the road to access the property, it was really dark. Other than that we had a great time. Thanks so much.

Weekend trip to Lake George/Saratoga
This property was excellent and exactly as described! Convenient to Lake George and about 30 minutes from Saratoga, made for a great weekend of fun golfing, at the track, or enjoying all the area has to offer. The view from the deck was spectacular each morning. Great place for a family or group of friends to enjoy!

Great house for bigger groups!
The house was exactly as pictured. There are plenty of beds in the house and the basement was perfect for hanging out and playing games. Kendall was easy to get in contact with and answered any questions we had. The only draw-back is that the house is located about a half mile up a steep dirt road so some in my group that were driving older sedans were a bit worried getting in and out, especially after it rained. Other than that, the house was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Kendall Johnson

Host profile image
Boulder Ridge was a dream come true for our family. We purchased the acreage in 2001 and built the main house is 2004. We have a camp on the lower 30 acres that has a 3 season tiny cottage on it that we stayed in on summer visits pending the main house's construction. During those early years we built a storage barn on the lower 30 acres where we store our equipment and the tools we use to maintain the estate.

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase property in the Adirondack mountains inside the park because of its natural beauty and the environmental protections the park offered in order to preserve the integrity of this gorgeous wilderness. Additionally, our property was close to Lake George, one of the premier fresh water lakes in the country. It's beauty in breathtaking! Additionally, the property is centrally located between NYC and Montreal, making it marketable for short term rental to both Canadians and Americans who were interested in experiencing this gorgeous wilderness.

What makes this property unique

Boulder Ridge is in a beautiful location and consists of over 60 acres of wild mountainous forests full of hiking and ATV/snow mobile trails with spectacular of the high peaks of the Adirondack mountain range. Everything the Lake George and Saratoga Springs areas have to offer is accessible within less than an hour from the property location. Lake George village is 6 miles away and Saratoga racetrack is 35 minutes away. The house is situated less than 3 miles from the NY state north-way, the major highway between NYC and Montreal. The location couldn't be more convenient while still maintaining the wild character and natural beauty of the Adirondack park.
