  We were a large group and we went there mainly for skiing. The lodge actually added a lot of highlights to our ski trip. It is the most decent lodge I have seen and lived so far in my experience of searching for lodges for group trips. It is very cozy inside the lodge. The owner has a very good collection of decorations, which make you feel like home when you live there. It's located right next to a beautiful lake. But we didn't have a chance to explore more about the lake because it's winter and we were there mainly for the skiing. It's just 20 minutes of drive from the Gore Mountain Ski Club. Very convenient. The listing description and photos all accurately reflect the rental's appearance and amenities. The owner Beth is so nice and considerate. In a word, it's highly recommended if you are considering a trip to this area.

  Hi Beth – we had just the BEST time during our week at your beautiful home. The home it beautiful, only outdone perhaps by the setting. We all enjoyed the lake either swimming or boating or fishing. The kids just loved it which gave us such happiness. And of course, the adults loved it. My adult kids built a fire at least 3 nights and one night the kids had smores by the fire. there were 11 of us and plenty of room. Just wonderful!! We also went tubing on the Hudson, paddle boat ride on LG and rented a pontoon boat on LG and dragged the kiddies in a tube. Just wasn’t enough time to explore it all and the weather held out for us. Not one rainy day. The loons kept us on our toes. ? You have it all – enjoy it as often as you can. We plan to tell all our family and friends about it and hope to return again.

  Our experience at this beautiful Lodge was excellent. We had plenty of room to congregate and at the same time have a little private area to read to good book, which you will find plenty of in the Great Room. The whole area including the Lodge and surrounding yard is meticulously taken care of. The decks were wonderful to sit and have a cup of coffee in the early morning and usually every morning you could hear the Loons out on the lake. The lake is excellent for canoeing and taking the row boat out for some great fishing. You are close to every convenience yet still in a very private area. We used the firepit one night and cooked smores and enjoyed some songs around the campfire. We found a great restaurnat called Cooper's Cave and Ale House in Glens Falls. The menu was varied and the food was wonderful. Afterwards stop at their Ice Cream Stand where there are over 200 flavors. Great way to end an evening. My granddaughter learned how to paddle a canoe with her father and how to fish with her grandfather. Great family memories have been made at this lovely place on Crystal Lake.

  THIS PLACE WAS PERFECT. I just planned my best friend's bachelor party and feel extremely fortunate to have found this lodge. As the seven of us got out of our cars and approached the lodge, the bachelor asked me "Are you sure this is the place?" worried that we were approaching the wrong place and were going to barge into someone's beautiful home. It's that nice! The home is huge, gorgeous, and filled with great amenities. The owner and caretakers couldn't have been kinder. We went just down the street to Adirondack Extreme Adventure course, and 15 minutes in the other direction to check out Lake George. It was a perfect weekend, and a few of us are already planning on coming back with other groups.

  This property is incredible! It is immaculately well maintained, spacious and warm. The listing and the photos dont do justice as to how great this lodge actually is! Myself and a group of friends stayed here for a weekend in November and have never had such a good time! Their book collection is very extensive and we were surprised at the number of amenities the owners provided. The owners are extremely communicative and have one an excellent job in making this vacation property a place you will want stay over and over again! This property is suitable to every age group.

  The lodge providing us a wonderful place to spend a week with my family . Everyone loved the access to Crystal Lake and the majestic views the lodge layout provided. Everyone mentioned how the lodge was exactly what they pictured it would be, a home away from home that provided a much needed retreat from the bustling downtown Lake George Village. The children couldn’t wait to use the art room as soon as they were done with breakfast every morning, it was wonderful to be able to watch them create and play together through the kitchen window that looks into the sun room. As for me, getting up in the morning to head down to the boat launch and cast a line off the dock for some fish and good conversation with my family was worth every minute. We even managed to take and enjoy a full three-course dinner down on the lower deck overlooking the Lake. It was just perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home, thanks so much. Paul, Marie, & the Family

  Beth, words are hard to find to express how much all of our families (11 adults) enjoy the week-end at your lodge. As you may know it was the Canadian Thanksgiving and the oven had the honor of cooking a nice turkey that was devoured by all on the Saturday night dinner. In fact we enjoyed so much our gettogether that we are contemplating the idea of making it a ritual to meet at your lodge every October for the next years, providing it is available. We can't talk enough of the breathtaking surrounding the lodge is located in as well as the tremendous numbers of various birds' species we could find, as we know you are very aware of. Even if the temperature was on the cool side we still had a ball and tons of memories to share. Again thank you so much for letting people share this great place you have and we will go back.

  Splendid house, marvelous ambience, lovely Adirondack setting -- I brought together my New York and California families there for week of July 11-18. The spacious and well appointed bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, the decks, lawns, private beach, the still lake, and especially the Great room where we all gathered in the evenings with much room to spare -- made it our most memorable annual summer vacation of the past five years. Best of the class of the houses I've rented on the Cape, Lake George and the California coast. We'll definitely be back.

  We stayed 5/29-5/31 2009 at the house for a weekend. We were celebrating a 30th birthday with friends and family. We had a wonderful weekend. There were tons of activities to do for everyone. We enjoyed fishing, and the relaxing water front deck. The lake views were amazing from every room in the house. Our family and friends loved this place, and it will always be a memorable birthday celebration.

  April 13-15, 2009My husband and I brought our H.S. Senior (son) and a few of his friends to the Adirondack area for a pre-graduation gift and enjoyed three sunny, beautiful days as the boys went fishing, boating, played Frisbee, as well as whitewater rafting on the second day. The lodge was absolutely beautiful and was equipped with everything you could need. We sat on the deck outside the kitchen and watched the “teens” play football in one of the fields as they enjoyed being “boys” before the challenges of college and career choices are made. We used the “sun room” off the kitchen as a “theatre” as we brought a home projector and the boys watched some favorite movies. Both Beth and Kevin were so helpful and worked with us to get this trip together. Our next hope is to return during the Fall to experience the beautiful foliage that surrounds the Lodge and the lake.Mike and Mary, Pittstown, NJ
