Schenectady Vacations from $622

Gedney Farms is very quiet, peaceful and rustic. Your stay is in a converted barn with towering ceilings, hard wood floors, and rustic reused furniture with no TV phones or radios. Note some rooms require stair climbing on winding stairs with sections without rails or handholds. Some bathtubs are very high. It would be helpful to talk to the location about the room accommodations if mobility is an issue. The staff is very unobtrusive almost to the point of non existent. The breakfast was fresh and healthy with plain Greek yogurt, granola, fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs, muffins and bread to toast. The grounds are well tended but not fussy and offer beauty, peace and quiet. The location is an easy 30 minutes to Tanglewood and 15 minutes to Stockbridge. It is nearby Berkshire Botanical Gardens, Dr. Suess Museum, WEB DuBois statue and homestead, Norman Rockwell museum, Monument mountain, Housatonic river and many art stores, general stores, outdoor activities. This area is car dependent.

I had an absolutely amazing time here, it is even more beautiful than the pictures. Where do I begin! Right from the start we were greeted by welcoming staff who gave us a tour of the property on a golf cart as we reached our cabin. Golf carts are offered and easily available for a lift to anywhere within the property that you’d like. The shower pressure was perfect and hot as well. Our cabin was curated to feel cozy and came equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels. The saunas and locker rooms were beautifully made. We enjoyed spending timing at the lake going kayaking as well and then sitting at the fire pit to star gaze. We also enjoyed playing pickleball/tennis at the court. My only quip would be that the pool water is still quite cool despite being heated. The whole property is an experience in itself. You can tell it was produced with a lot of meticulous attention to detail. I am already dreaming of when I can come back here!

Very well done hotel, nice design, details from lights to faucets and tile. High end finishes, didn’t eat at the restaurant but always full and seemingly great service. Great location close but secluded and quiet.

I have been traveling to Lake George for years as I love the beauty and activities of this area. Normally hotel stays are ok and nothing really wows me. Most need updating. I stayed at the Sundowner and was so pleased with everything! The rooms are updated and are decorated like adorable log cabins inside. The room was spotless and spacious! The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a small issue with air conditioning and they sent someone right away to fix it. Kima at reception desk and Jay Jay in property management really impressed me with their friendly demeanor and seemed interested in making sure we had a great time. Kayaks and paddleboards were free and other hotels charge a few. Will definitely be back again!! Great job done by the Sundowner team.
