Quiet, Peaceful, Had the Necessities

Overall we were very happy with our stay. The kitchen and yard had all of the necessities. The kids loved the provided outdoor games, and the grill was welcomed with the higher temperatures this week. The house had window air conditioners and fans which sufficed just fine. No complaints from the kids! A few minor things that just felt icky - the bathroom screen had holes in it, letting in many moths and bugs - we had to vacuum them each morning before opening the window again. The livingroom hardwood floor has not been cleaned - around the area rugs - as you could visibly see the layers of dust. There were no instructions for how to leave the house (where to put dirty dish towels, whether to lock the doors, etc). It would have been nice to have a little campfire too, as there was plenty of space. We would consider staying here again, as there is much to do around the area!

Peaceful Country Setting

Was very comfortable for a large family with 5 good sized bedrooms. Plenty of sports equipment for the kids. Beautiful view of the pasture with gorgeous horses. Close to Natural Bridge and Caves, as well as only 18 miles from Lake George.

Charming House, Beautiful Surroundings

House was just as advertised. Spacious with plenty of room for the entire family. Great property for sun rises. Horses on the adjacent property added to the charm.

Disappointment

While the location was good, the house was a disappointment. Old is fine, but dingy, shabby and dirty are not. The kitchen [in spite of a relatively new refrigerator and stove] was the worst, closely followed by the downstairs bathroom and entry room. One trip to the basement was enough to keep me from ever returning. Thankfully the weather was perfect and we spent a lot of time outdoors hiking local trails or enjoying the peaceful location.

Great place to stay!

The house was big. It was older but we liked that about it. The horse farm next door was beautiful! Quiet neighborhood, only about 30 minutes from Lake George Village. Loon Lake just a few minites down the street was wonderful! Great communication with Meg. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Very Private with Beautiful View!

House was as promised. A well-stocked Kitchen & a supply of paper products for use. Very Spacious Bedrooms & Living room seating supplied with games, books and dvds. Closets & Dresser in each room as well as Window Fans! Very private drive up & big yard for enjoyment. Basketball Hoop & Net for volleyball & badminton. The Horses on sight were relaxing & beautiful to watch. The Town of Warrensburg was down the road, on the way to Lake George Village, so, we enjoyed shops & restaurants there as well.

About the host

Hosted by Joan L Burke

Host profile image
This is a property that has been in the family for almost 150 years. The original building was replaced in 1947 with 5 large cross-ventilated bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and two baths. We have TV, VCR, DVD and internet services. The house has a thoroughbred horse farm on one side and 160 acres of woodland on the other. It is quiet and well off the highway.

Why they chose this property

Our house is located on the top of a hill overlooking the thoroughbred horses and the mountains in the distance. We have sports facilities for volleyball, badmington, basketball, horseshoes, bocce, ping pong and croquet. The swimming area is a 5-10 minute drive away and has tall trees, a picnic area, a playground, a life guard and free parking.

What makes this property unique

This is a wonderful place for a family because it is completely private, has lots of things to do right here. However, there are dozens of historical, cultural and entertaining venues within a 30-minute drive. Most of our guests return year after year.
