The camp was very cozy. Stocked with just about everything we looked for down to a scissor. Could’ve used more garbage bags for a family of 5, but that would be our only complaint. We definitely enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it.

We so enjoyed our stay! The home was larger then it looked in the pictures and absolutely spotless. The beds were very comfortable and the living room area was so cozy. The shower is very, very small, so larger folks might have trouble, but the water pressure is excellent. It was a perfect home base for our day trips to Ausable Chasm, Great Sacandaga Lake, and more. Thank you so much for a lovely vacation!

Had a great time. The camp was very nice. I was hoping to be right on the water but it wasn’t to far The camp was nice it could use some updating in the bathroom. Other than that it was a great place to stay

The rental was awesome!!. The house is very roomy,3 bedrooms 2 sitting type rooms plus an enclosed porch. Plenty of room to be able to be together or be alone. Well supplied kitchen with a very large kitchen/dining area. Pictures don't really show you how great this rental is. As for communication Diane was available immediately when I needed her. Would love to rent this place again. Thanks for letting us stay at your rental!!

We spent part of our time at Saratoga Springs, part of our time at Lake George and a couple days relaxing at the beaches near by. For our itinerary, Luzerne was a great location. We are a family of 4, with a teenager and a 20 yr old. Everyone having their own bedroom is important. There is not a lot of natural light in the cottage, but we spent most of our time outside so this didn’t matter much. Luzerne has more than meets the eye-we really enjoyed the music and food trucks in the park.

We enjoyed our stay. Place was perfect for our family of 6. The kitchen and grill were handy to make meals so we didn't have to eat out. Fire pit was perfect to relax and enjoy.

Glad you enjoyed your stay at A Tale of Two Beaches! You didn't specify why you thought you wouldn't enjoy a week here? Many past guests have been very happy spending a week- with a spacious full kitchen complete with a dishwasher, comfortable King and Queen beds, two twin beds, ceiling fans in eIf ach bedroom, AC, heat, large propane grill, big yard, walkable to two public beaches...and use of two kayaks on Lake Luzerne!! If the lack of washer/dryer is a concern- Lake Luzerne has a 24 hr laundromat less than 2 miles away!

Great location and perfect for our needs.

We stayed 5 days and it was a great central location for day trips all over the Adirondacks. The property was nothing fancy but we weren’t looking for that since we planned to be out most of the days we were there. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. The owner is excellent with communication and the property was well kept. We would highly recommend this property!

Cute and short drive to everything!

We stayed for 7 nights and we enjoyed our stay. Bathroom was snug for 5 of us but we made it work. Wonderful three season porch to enjoy and everything you need to feel at home. Nice neighborhood, we could walk our dog daily and felt safe. We would recommend this cottage to a family.

Lake retreat

We had a great time on our long weekend here. Place is very spacious and clean. Walking distance to both beaches. We enjoyed the outside fire pit and took lots of walks. Close to lake George village so was nice to take a day trip there. Plenty of other local activities as well. Bon’s Ice cream and mini golf would highly recommend.

Relaxing and just lovely !

The house was clean when we arrived. perfect for my family and dogs. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The Luzerne lake beaches were a short walk from the house and lake George a quick ride. I would definitely come back here again!

Excellent Experience

The house was way better than we expected! We couldn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked though because my cousins came to Lake George to surprise me for my birthday and no guest are allowed at this house, so that was the only downfall of staying at this house.

All guests need to be listed on the lease, with a max occupancy of 6, due to the house being a 3 bedroom/, 1 bathroom, with a septic, not municipal sewer. That is clearly stated as a house rule, that you accepted upon booking. Your booking included 4 adults- up to 2 more guests could have been permitted, with no events or family reunions beyond max capacity of 6 persons

Great Family Trip

We had a wonderful stay. Very clean and roomy. Everything we needed was supplied and easy instructions for check in/out. We usually stay in Lake George and we were worried about the location, but the drive into Lake George was easy and about 10 minutes. Plus the location of house was very nice. The only thing that we were not use to was the wall to wall carpeting,even in kitchen. We do like hard wood floors, But the rug was very clean
