The house is amazing, with ample room to fit all your guests! They provided everything we needed for our stay! I would definitely love to come back for a longer period of time!
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
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.
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. :)
Neighbourhood and area of the property was great, but owner should do some work at house, downstair no bathroom lock, hitter doesnot work properly, we also had an issue with one of the bed downstair. other then everything was great.
Enough for 15 people plenty of room to move around. Large dining table to accommodate all of us.huge yard the kids could run around. Swimming pool the kids loved
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.
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
We loved our stay and the owners were quick to respond to anything we needed. Beds could be upgrade for comfort but overall it a great place. Love the yard and man cave. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for a great weekend
Great experience. Will recommend. We hope to come back.we were here for five days.We should have come for ten.

Very Nice
Great house, very rustic & definitely very comfortable. The weather was cool for our stay, and the house offered a great feeling of warmth & relaxation. Very quiet. Recommend for anyone looking for some solitude, but just a short drive from Lake George.
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!
