Camp Happily Ever After is fantastic! It had plenty of room for our group of 11, and Daniel was a pleasure to work with both before our stay and the one time we needed to reach out during our visit.The entire property was exceptionally clean when we arrived. The outdoor spaces were a highlight, especially the patio with fireplace. We had rain a few evenings, so the covered rain porch was a wonderful surprise and allowed us to continue enjoying the outdoors despite the weather.The swimming area was pretty good. There’s a large section of shallow, knee-deep water that’s perfect for wading, with deeper water for swimming in front of the dock. I would recommend bringing water shoes; while the shallow area has a sandy bottom, there are quite a few small rocks that can catch you off guard, and the lake bottom is slightly mucky. It certainly wasn’t a dealbreaker—we were in the water every sunny day! We also loved using the kayaks and paddle boat. The only other minor thing to note is that although the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and appliances, there isn’t much cabinet or pantry space left for storing groceries. We made it work, but it’s something future guests may want to keep in mind.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this property. Hopefully we can return someday!

Great home, right on the water. Well appointed, comfortable and cozy. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook your favorite meals. If cooking isn’t your thing on vacation the location of the home is close enough to great restaurants. Would absolutely rent this home again! Very, very quiet at night.

Our family was very impressed with this home, the location and all that it had to offer. We loved being able to use the kayaks and sit by the water. It was a little on the cool side, so no swimming, but a great place to be anyway!

Great Lake House Vacation

Lovely lake house located right on Hadlock Pond in Fort Ann area. Great central air conditioning and WiFi service throughout. Host (Daniel) is friendly and helpful. Home is well stocked with supplies for guests and we loved using the included 3 kayaks and paddle board every day. Very convenient to lots of outdoor activities at local adventure centers too!

This is a lovely place. Literally nothing was missing. Had everything we needed and more. Family trip with ages from 9 months to 63 and everyone was comfortable. There are a lot of rocks in the swimming area, so brig water shoes, but a lovely place to spend time in the water and shallow for the kids. Host was super communicative and helpful with our questions. My only complaint is that there is very little storage space in the kitchen which made it a bit cramped. Overall a great week and beautiful place!

Family getaway

We had a great week on the water! The house had everything we needed. We made use of the kayaks and paddleboard often. But most of the time we just liked to all float in the water together or hang out on the dock! Plenty of space inside and out for our group of 11 (mostly adults). Daniel was great to work with and we all said it was our best place yet!

Fort Ann/Lake George Vacation Home

Our family absolutely loved this vacation home! We are a family of 7 adults and 2 teens. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed/wanted. The owner was very responsive to our questions prior to our check-in. The waterfront property was great as well, including kayaks, paddle board and peddle boat for our use and a beautiful boat dock with many chairs. This was one of our family's best vacation spots and we look forward to being able to revisit this property in the future!

One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in. Clean with all the amenities possible. Great location. We stayed to see the ice castles but they canceled. No one was disappointed though. We tried ice fishing on the lake. At night we sat by the indoor fire and played games. Plenty of room for all!!

5 Senior High School Friends Getting Together

Very clean, well maintained, and very well stocked. Daniel was quick to respond to communications, although my cell phone service was spotty at times. Wonderful location on water and there were several towns nearby. The house was decorated with an Adirondack theme and felt quite homey. I felt like Goldilocks in the Three Bears' house sleeping on the "just right" mattress. This was the best VRBO rental I've stayed in so far.
