Cabin is larger than it appears, easily fit my family and dogs. Nestled in the woods but close to major roads. Very close to Gore Mt. Owners are very quick to respond to any questions. Enjoyed our stay
Coffee pot was not cleaned, 2 nd floor full bed has an old mattress and they said that they rolled into the middle. It’s an overall nice woodsy cabin. We would stay there again knowing what we’re in store for. A very fair price, with an excellent location to lake George and Gore mountain. Dogs welcome is a plus also
Me and some friends stayed for a nice little “glamping” Labor Day weekend stay for hiking and just relaxation.
The chalet/cabin was quaint, in a wonderfully private location away from busy streets, (a neighbor somewheres on the street had roosters that woke us up at 6 every morning, though).
House had a lot of amenities not expected in a
cabin. Board/card games a plenty (many are old and some were missing pieces/rules, but there were tons of options), and almost every movie imaginable! Pool table as well, although it’s a little tight quarters for part of it. Plenty of beds for people to sleep in with perfectly functioning bathrooms, though the twin beds were a bit uncomfy.
Cabin is rustic, as to be expected; beautiful aesthetic with a lot to love. Was a bit dusty, and insects were a common occurrence, Large spiders, specifically. But this is the Adirondacks we’re talking about, expect that. Rather large wasp nest outside at the peak of the cabin that drew some concern, as a friend is allergic, but they were high up and only 1 got inside. Woods were gorgeous and the outside was terrific. Only wish weather was more cooperative so we could enjoy it more!
Prime location, only 30 min. away from Lake George, 10 from Gore Mt., and plenty of other hiking trails nearby. The hosts did a wonderful job with binders showcasing all the nearby restaurants and activities that helped a lot.
100% would recommend this home for a true Adirondacks stay.
Not very well maintaned. There was no generator when power was out and it did go out. Kitchen sink didnt work mentioned to owner and said someone would be stopping by. No one ever stopped by to fix sink asked again and was told it wouldnt be for another 1-2 days. Heat was left on before we got so cabin so it was baking inside with 90 degree weather outside. Even turning the thermostat down it wouldnt shut off. Found a half burnt twisty tie in the toaster. The fridge was on power saving mode and was strong enough to cool properly. The front small roof between the steps looks like it fell awhile ago and was just left the way it is now. The washer also didnt work properly. The cabin layout was very nice otherwise but just needs to be better maintaned and updated. Very secluded and a nice location. If those things were fixed and i was made aware of some these changes or the heat left on before our arrival i might stay here again.
The house is very conveniently located close to Gore mountain- you can see it from the driveway.
Quiet place in the woods with a hiking trail and little slides at the back - good for sledding. Sleds were in the house too - very nice. We had great time sledding and playing in the snow by the house and skiing at Gore. House has wood stove - very nice.
Nice, cozy rooms, good beds in rooms, but the futons are not comfortable for sleeping- so really it comfortably sleeps 8, not 10. Rooms need more lights and mirrors, dressers are broken. Washing machine could use an upgrade. Bathrooms and kitchen need to be cleaned properly- there are cobwebs.
Driveway is long and steep uphill, lots of rocks, so 2-wheel drive won’t make it up in winter if there’s slush or dirt - we had to push our car all the way up. 4-wheel drive has no problem.
Lovely Adirondack cabin the was well stocked and very cozy. Just a short drive to Gore and several restaurants. We had 6 people in 4 bedrooms but there were futons available to easily sleep 10. Great place.
Loved the privacy in the woods with area for our dog to walk. Used as base camp for driving to historic sites during the day. Within range of several small towns with restaurants.
Property was clean an beautiful! We had only had a problem where it said it was a 5 minute walk to the beach. There was no beach. Also some of the TV’s downstairs didn’t work. Also beware of the massive pile of poop in the yard. Other than that a very nice spot to be at

About the host
Hosted by Jeffrey & Ellen Taylor
My wife & I grew up in the hustle & bustle of New Jersey/New York City. we rented the home once a year & when it went on the market, we jumped at the opportunity to buy. We hope you enjoy the Chalet as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This Chalet is right in the middle of the action.You have all the ski areas ,Schroon lake to the north, Lake George to the south, Lake Placid one hour north, white water rafting on the Hudson, hiking trails all around, fine restaurants at Lake George. The Chalet is hidden on 15 acres of solitude. It's a home away from home
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the chalet because there are no real neighbors.
