Ripton Vacations from $977

Beautiful setting on Lake George. I chose The Chateau because I was going to a conference at Sagamore Resort. The Chateau is less expensive and a short 5 minute drive away. The room is lovely and the bed is very comfortable. The gas 'fireplace' was very cozy. I used the iron and ironing board. I appreciated the complimentary sparkling water. I wish the privacy blinds on the French doors were on the inside of the room because the balcony is shared with another room. (Another guest could potentially open the blinds and peer into this room.) The summer season was over in October during my stay. The staffing shortages meant I could not reach anybody by phone or website chat before my stay even though I left voicemail and my personal email. Everything worked out ok and I was able to 'check in' myself.

I can show pictures of the unit that was very different than described. I paid extra for a Mountain View for 3 nights - and it was not Mountain View. We were in a different building at the bottom of the hill a 8 min freeezing cold and icy walk to the pool area.

DO NOT STAY HERE——What should have been a relaxing stay turned into an infuriating and exhausting ordeal due to gross negligence and unprofessional conduct by the property management company overseeing this privately owned condo. On my second day I left briefly for breakfast and after I returned I was shocked to discover that the door code to my condo did not work, leaving me locked out of the property. I called the property management office multiple times before anyone answered. When I finally did get through, I was placed on hold for over 50 minutes before anyone offered assistance. Being stranded outside the property that I paid for is completely unacceptable. Also the shower-head broke off, rendering one of the bathrooms unusable. I was happy to pay the nightly rate but I requested a refund of the property management fee, given that the services it supposedly covered—responsiveness, maintenance, and reliable access—were nonexistent. My request was denied, and instead I was offered a $250 voucher, which is entirely insufficient and frankly insulting given the circumstances. What I received was hours of inconvenience, unresponsiveness, and unacceptable conditions. I would NOT recommend this property as long as it’s being managed by Eurorentals.
