Waterfront Retreat on Mini "Golden Pond" 10 Miles Lake George

TRANQUIL RETREAT -Three bedroom home situated on a mini 'On Golden Pond'. Only three other homes on the privately owned 10 acre pond. Paddleboat or kayaks- all available onsite to navigate the crystal clear water. Located on the dammed end of the pond, you'll be serenaded by the sound of water running over the dam into the creek below. Also, only a 1/4 mile to Lake Luzerne public beach. The Gazebo, gas grill, patio, dock, picnic table, hammock, outdoor fire pit and Adirondack chairs make it the perfect setting to kick back or to entertain.

And inside, (if you ever go in): The house is fully furnished, with a living room, bedroom, large full bathroom with washer and dryer, kitchen and dining room on the first floor. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator, electric stove/oven, coffee maker, microwave and toaster. There is a large window in the kitchen with a beautiful view of the pond to inspire you while you cook. The large dining room table can seat up to 8 people. The other two bedrooms are on the second floor; both have windows overlooking the water. All bedrooms accommodate up to two people. Linens and garbage service are provided. Internet access included.

DAY/NIGHT LIFE -
SARATOGA SPRINGS: About 20 minutes into the quaint town of Saratoga Springs, for shopping, Saratoga Performing Arts Center (many summertime concerts, orchestra, and ballet), Saratoga flat track, Saratoga Polo Club, Saratoga Harness Track, and the new Saratoga Gaming Casino. Close enough, yet far away from New Year's Eve celebrations.

LAKE LUZERNE: About 1/4 mile walk to Lake Luzerne and public beach. Free summer outdoor concerts in the pavilion overlooking Lake Luzerne. Up over the hill to Hadley/Luzerne public school with access to playground. Short walk to town of Lake Luzerne with public library, market, town basketball and tennis courts, UpRiver restaurant, and white water rafting excursion trips. 9 hole golf course - Bend of the River in Hadley (less than five miles away). Approximately three miles from Warren County snowmobile trails; less than 30 minutes from West mountain for skiing. Ice Skate right outside our door (when the pond ice allows), or on nearby Lake Luzerne.

LAKE GEORGE: Approximately 10 miles from our vacation rental! Lake George activities include Six Flags Great Escape Theme Park and Splash Water Kingdom, and indoor water park. Historic Fort William Henry and Lake George Battlefield Park, Prospect Mountain with the 100 mile view that overlooks Lake George. Lake George village boasts outlet shopping, Lake George Steamboat Cruises, nightclubs, arcades, restaurants, horseback riding, mini golf, and fireworks every Thursday night over the lake. Great place to stay for Lake George Winter Carnival and Lake George Forum events.

Stay was great. Instructions were easy to follow and the property was very nice. Private pond and dock. It was nice and quiet. Caught some bass. Fell asleep in a chair with my pole in the water. What else can a guy ask for!

Interesting

The place was spacious but not sure if the place hadn't been rented out in a while. Bad musty smell. The place could have been aired out in advance. Windows were dirty. Very dusty under tv stand like the floors hadn't been mopped. Had many rules forthe kitchen table. We brought our own table cloth to cover it so there wouldn't be any issues. Other than that the kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes etc.

We enjoyed our stay. The pond house had everything I need in a vacation home - on the water, room for everyone to eat and relax together and in a safe area. In addition, the backyard is large and there is plenty of storage space in the kitchen.

Wonderful week in an idyllic home

We were a party of 6 adults who stayed a week in order to make day trips to Lake George, Ticonderoga, Albany, Saratoga Springs and western Vermont. We found the home to be very comfortable and, in all ways, as depicted in the listing (or better). It was perfectly situated for the types of trips I mentioned and for days you want to stay on property, too. We hope to return!

Property was just as described. No complaints and no issues during our stay. My two teens enjoyed the kayaks, peddle boat and even caught some fish. Lazy River Tubby Tubing was fun and close by and highly recommend the Long Horn Restaurant for dinner. Diane was very nice and checked on us during our stay.

Great Stay

We were passing through on a vacation with our dog and had never visited this area before. We only had a couple of days to stay, but were very glad we did. This was such a nice, private spot on the water and we were able to use the kayaks on the pond. The property manager was so prompt with responses to our questions and very helpful with ideas of things to do nearby, including hikes, biking trails, and restaurants. Wish we had more time to explore, but would definitely return. Also, so glad it was dog-friendly.

Excellent experience

We needed a good place for our family to stay while going to Winterfest. We enjoyed the privacy of the location, the layout of the house and the yard was ideal for us. Enjoyed a fire outside, and the view over the pond. Its a short hop to Lake George and also good local dining options. Diane was an excellent host, and we would definitely return or book another of her properties. Overall excellent time and quality service. Thanks for the experience!
