Another wonderful year w/our "CORE" group of friends. Pool was wonderful. For the second year, Glenda was responsive and has her people ready to respond to anything may come up!As said, this is an old farmhouse and barn. (our group first started 14yrs ago-camping, so the house was wonderful for us! But we enjoyed the entire property, pool table, pool, grill, front porch, and the large main dining area.

Family vacation!

We just got back from our annual family vacation. We had 13 adults and 5 kids and we had a great time .. We had space for everybody and then some .. We were all able to fit in the pool which was a blast .. At night we had fun trying to get our bonfire lit. Lake George was a quick ride away and it was such beautiful weather. Overall we had a wonderful trip.

Wonderful Place for our Family to Stay

I generally do not write reviews, but after reading that one negative review, I feel the need to respond. This home is a wonderful place to stay. We are a 4 generation family and had an amazing long weekend together. The home is clean and very comfortable. Everywhere we turned there was something lovely to explore. The 5 children of all different ages had a great time being together. We are planning on returning this summer and now there will be 7 children (2 more additions this past year), as well as an extended family of parents, grandparents and even a great grandma (14 of us all together). We feel so fortunate to have found such a lovely place for all of us to be together and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Great Spot!

It was an awesome spot but the driveway is a shared road so in the parking directions this should be noted. We also got a noise complaint in the middle of the day because we were playing yard games. Though is was funny with a police officer showing up at a bachelorette so it made a story. Listing should note there are 2 other properties on the 70 acres. Bed mattresses could be updated. The listing should note the pool table area is in a separate barn. Overall, a great experience and lovely weekend!

We faced issues with rest rooms, there was no lock in downstair washroom, and it was not at all clean, The water flow was very very slow. On first floor wash room the flush was not working. We culdnt lock any of the doors. All the beds were shaky and making creaky noise. Suggest to remove all the bunk beds they are verry dangerous, it might fall anytime

Good place to stay in North Country

I'm very happy that we found this rental.Was able to fit in 8 of us plus 5 dogs in this house (with the dogs normally being a big issue for other rentals). With 7 bedrooms, everyone had a place to sleep.It's a cozy country house, that fits in perfectly with the location and being up in the mountains. We were 30 minutes from the Gore Ski resort and 15 min from the town with stores, gas station and the usual convenience

Cousins weekend.

This location is rural and fantastic! Large property, very quiet. Service is very spotty, but once you get the wifi code it's manageable. Our only challenge was people coming at different times and communicating with them. Good thing the gps was spot on! The house is large enough to accommodate a huge group, but if you are someone that loves blankets I suggest you bring your own. No extra blankets, just what is on the bed. The beds are made up nicely and most of them are fairly comfortable. No issues from our group. There are a set of stairs that are a little unusual, but there is a front set which most people used. The barn is actually a barn. The floor boards move a little bit and the pool table was slightly off. We had a blast anyway. Such charm. Having the fire in the back was amazing. No light pollution so you could see the night sky nicely. There is a great little farm store down the road that sells and makes maple products. Overall this was a great place. Just remember it is an older farmhouse with all the quirks of a farmhouse. I would definitely go back again. :)

Great Place

This house was perfect for our big family ski trip. We traveled with my elderly parents who were thrilled to have a bedroom on the main floor. Upstairs are lots of beds for all the skiers! There is plenty of dining space for everyone to eat. We even brought our dog who was very comfortable here and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the big field. During our stay we attempted to use the grill for hamburgers but couldn't get it to work. Glenda sent someone over that night to look at it and even brought a new grill over the next day. We had a great time and definitely would return again.

Friends Ski Weekend

We had a group of teenage boys and parents for the weekend, skiiny at Gore Mountain. The house was large enough to fit all of us and provided everything we needed. Glenda was a great communicator and we felt at home at the property. Plus Gore was only 25 minutes away. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

The farm house was nice and clean Lots of rooms. We had an issue with the pool and was taking care within 15 minutes of contacting them. On the minus side the mattresses was not very comfortable, one of the stairs case was very very steep and narrow And the caveman was disappointing. Overall good place

Relaxing Family Reunion

We were 15 people who were celebrating our parents 80th. We did a scavenger hunt in Lake George, had a birthday bbq with other local family. We did some putt putt and lots of swimming in the pool, can jam and spike ball. We also cruised around looking for swimming holes.
