We had a great time. The house was perfect for us. It had everything we needed. I loved all the holiday lights Kathleen had. It gave the house a warm cozy feeling. It was convenient to Gore which was our main reason for being there. We can’t wait to go back.

Great Place for a Getaway in the Adirondacks

The condo was perfect! One of the best and well-stocked condos I've ever seen. We needed some downtime from a hectic summer travel schedule and found it. Loved the fireplace and the cozy atmosphere nestled in the woods. Cellular was sketchy, but the wi-Fi signal was great and we had no problems at all.using our mobile phones.

Best Place Ever

Kathleen's home was the best place we have ever stayed in on our vacations in the Saratoga/Lake George area. Comfortable, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean. She is the ultimate host, including going out of her way to suggest fun activities for us to do. What a wonderful person! We would love to stay there again as she made everything a total pleasure!

Great Stay

We had a two night stay at this property. Kathleen was a wonderful communicator. From just before arrival to the informational cues around the house, everything flowed wonderfully like the stream just outside the house. She made this experience stress free so we could enjoy our stay. She even had a gift waiting for us when we arrived. These small gestures and attention to detail set this property apart from others. Thanks again Kathleen for a great stay.

Time with Family

We were in Chestertown for the memorial service of a close family member. Kathleen’s home was a warm, homey and comfortable place for us to stay and gather together during a very difficult time. We really appreciated how responsive and kind Kathleen was during our stay. We would love to be able to come back and stay during a happier and maybe warmer time and make some lovely memories together.

Home in the woods

My husband, in-laws and I stayed for the 2024 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Queensbury about 1/2 hour away. I searched online for a cozy, comfortable place for the 6 of us to stay and we couldn’t have been any happier with our choice. Kate has the most beautifully decorated home right down to lights. I’m told the decorations change for the season and I do not doubt that every change is something to see. The house is set just perfectly in the woods and the way the windows look out to the back yard, you could imagine during a snow fall the scene would be picturesque. The house is equipped with every kitchen appliance and utensil you could need. There are also board games to play with family & friends. The beds are comfortable and showers are hot with good pressure. We did not need anything during our stay, but there’s no doubt in my mind that Kate would have been extremely responsive had we needed anything. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Kates home again!

Wonderful host, lovely condo, beautiful location

Our stay at this rental was so delightful! We've already planned our next visit. Host is wonderful, very nice and helpful. The condo has everything you need in addition to many charming custom touches. The location is close to all the action available in the area, yet so beautiful that you'll want to stay put and enjoy the property too.

Perfect!!!!

Your home is wonderful.I felt instantly comfortable from the moment we walked in. I sat out on the porch, read my book and dozed here and there. So relaxing. The theme of the decor fit perfectly. Now, to me, one of the most important things...your home is immaculate. Every inch. The bathrooms looked as though no one had every used them. Your attention to detail was amazing. I never felt uncomfortable using any of your plates, utensils and appliances. My only suggestion for the kitchen would be to add some brighter lighting and a standard (12 cup) coffee pot.We hope that once we decide on a date for next year, you will be able to accommodate us. Thank you so much.

Ski Weekend

Our second time staying here and we enjoyed our stay just as much as the first time! We love this warm, cozy, beautiful condo! After a day of skiing it’s the perfect place to relax and spend time with our family. We loved playing cards in front of the fireplace with all the awesome Christmas decorations and lights. This home is clean, has everything you could possibly need, comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and a great location. Close to Gore and some really good restaurants. We loved the pizza from The Pizza Shop in Warrensburg and the food at Basil and Wicks was fantastic. This condo will always be our first choice on any returning ski weekend’s.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen

Host profile image
I grew up in the area and graduated from the local high school in Chestertown, NY. I know the area well but never seemed to take advantage of the things in my own "backyard" but isn't that how it usually is? I currently live in NYC and enjoy every moment I come to my home away from home as I still have family in the area.

Why they chose this property

My grandparents, with the help of the extended family, built their home from the foundation up located not too far from here in the Adirondacks with the interior being wood. The first-time walking into my place reminded me of their beautiful home and instantly gave me the feeling of being home once again. It also helps to remind me that you should never forget where you come from and to always be grateful for the blessings you have in your life. It helps me to remember all the fun times our family had growing up doing the simplest things together as a family.
In the time that I purchased to now, my family has all helped to make it the home you see today as they each had a hand in it. Tremendous thought went into every detail, not matter how great or small, to make it feel like home for not just my family but yours as well. Examples are the outlets/light covers in the bear or moose room, pictures that I took of the local areas, or the painting that my mom did that is hanging in the living room in hopes that others are able to experience the feeling of "home".
The vision I had when I purchased the property was to create a place that family and friends can come and enjoy the place as much as I do each and every time I come here. My wish is that others are able to come and make memories like I had growing up. In a world of technology and craziness, this is a place to come and reconnect, to build stronger relationships with your loved ones or simply "just be" and enjoy living in the moment. Life is so short and often times we take our time together for granted....

What makes this property unique

With the property located at the top of a small hill, there is only one other building next to the unit. With it being the end unit, I am next to a stream that runs next to the property and after a heavy rain or snow melt, there is nothing like hearing the peaceful sound of the water running towards the lake while sitting on the porch or listening through an open window. Through out the day you can hear the birds at the lake or at night the sound of the frogs down at the lake. The lake is so close so often times I can be found there, enjoying the water or simply just sitting by the lake enjoying the beauty that surrounds. If you like running like I do, there is a loop I do that passes the golf course and there is nothing like an early morning run when others are still sleeping.
By far my favorite time here is during the winter. The wall where the fireplace has windows from floor to ceiling (including the White Birch room) and to sit by the windows or lay in bed and watch the magic of the freshly falling snow.....feeling as if you are in a snow globe. Add in the holiday lights... just feels magical to me.
Once you stay here, I think you will be able to see and feel what it is that I do. That is what I have envisioned for this property.
