Adorable lakeside cottage with wonderful view. Great for relaxing, swimming, perfect for kayak and canoe ( both available for use). Very responsive host.
Very nice little place on the lake. The furniture is not the most comfortable, but hey, youâre in a camp, so it works out just fine. Kitchen and bathroom are convenient, nice strong shower. Fishing right from the dock, caught smaller sized fish, but plenty of them and a good variety of fish, too. Saw beavers, loons, blue heron, and the most amazing thing: the hummingbirds! They frequent the feeder right outside the door. Very nice for a coupleâs getaway.
Lovely cottage. Beautiful location. Horrible furniture. Unfortunately the sofa was very poor quality, small and extremely uncomfortable. Not ideal for a relaxing vacation.
Was very nice place to spend our belated 50th anniversary get away. It matched our needs and expectations very well. The location on the pond is very beautiful which we enjoyed with the host's canoe, paddle boat and water side fire pit, the NYS Pharaoh Lake Wilderness was just minutes away for nice hiking (and canoeing - we were surprised to find that there were canoes available at the lake to use), the Crossroads store 10 min away had an amazing variety of items, including some basic food items we had forgotten to bring, the host replied almost immediately to our VRBO messages to host. The cottage has little or no cell reception but the WiFi there was fine and there was a land line phone (we didn't use it).
Pros: Nice getaway home/area. Friendly people and atmosphere. Nice and quiet and was great walking/hiking for our dog.
Cons: not completely cleaned. Floors were dirty and cob webs all over. Bed and furniture could use updating. Pull out couch had mice poop on it and furniture and bed werenât very comfy after being outside all day.
The view was outstanding and the water was clean and nice for swimming. For my husband and myself (being in our mid-70s); the bed was hard to get into. This is a great place for younger couples who want to use it as a home base for all the activities in the area.
Such a perfect Aderondack location with a. beautiful view. Not far from other well known lakes and attractions. Property listing is accurate, If communication with host is needed, no problem as responce is excellent. We enjoyed our time at this lovely Aderondack cabin surrounded by nature in a peaceful and quiet setting.
It was well equipped but itâs really suited for couples. The pullout sofa and upstairs beds werenât comfortable. Also the upstairs could use a good cleaning. The stairs to get there arenât the safest and the large window can easily be opened so not safe for young children. However, itâs a cute cabin with a wonderful porch and outside area. Loved the boats and fire pit, the beautiful view and the closeness to Chestertown.
Very peaceful cottage and pond. Canoe, paddleboat were supplied and cottage was well stocked. Host was VERY responsive which was great.
There is a road between the pond and house which was deceiving On-line.
Loft is very small so I donât recommend if needing to sleep up there.
My husband and I enjoyed the cottage, location and surroundings immensely. The pond was warm and inviting and the couple of neighbors we ran into were very friendly. Took the canoe around the pond and did a little fishing as well. The cottage has great hot water too. The bed was a little uncomfortable but definitely not a deal breaker and everyone has a preference when it comes to a mattress. The cottage is equipped with almost everything you need and we didn't have any problems with mosquitos which surprised me because they are attracted to me like crazy. We would definitely go back.
I would rent this many more times! This was a perfect getaway, the use of the boats were so fun for my kids and I. I loved that it was a home away from home. The host was quick to respond and the property is beautiful! I didn't want to leave, but i look forward to renting this again over the summer and taking my kids here. This beats camp grounds anyday!!! Thank you for this experience. You have provided such a welcoming and lovely place. The memories i got to make here with my kids are unforgetable!
Arrived at the property to check in at 6pm after 6hrs of driving, it was very obvious it hadnât been cleaned by the filled bathroom trash. The property owner was attentive to our problems and sent cleaning crew out. However, they didnât leave the property until after 8pm and there were very obvious spots in the bathroom not cleaned. Thereâs absolutely no privacy - the windows have no blinds (and the place is 80% windows) so if youâre looking for a romantic getaway - this is probably not it!!! The owner refunded us cleaning fees ($50âŠ.$25 a nightâŠ) âŠ. Which is kind of insulting since we totally lost an entire night of our stay to the inconvenience.
Itâs a place to stop for a night, but very very uncomfortable.
Adorable cottage! Comfortable and clean.
The view is awesomeâŠright on Beaver Pond!
Love the location. This was our second trip.
I would highly recommend this rental!
My 2 adult kids and I stayed here last year and wanted to return for a couple days of peace and tranquility. Fish off the dock, listen to the owls at night, plus the stars are amazing. Jon is a great host, this was just what we needed. Highly recommended for a quaint little cabin getaway.
