About this property

Waterfront Retreat on Mini "Golden Pond" 10 Miles Lake George

TRANQUIL RETREAT -Three bedroom home situated on a mini 'On Golden Pond'. Only three other homes on the privately owned 10 acre pond. Paddleboat or kayaks- all available onsite to navigate the crystal clear water. Located on the dammed end of the pond, you'll be serenaded by the sound of water running over the dam into the creek below. Also, only a 1/4 mile to Lake Luzerne public beach. The Gazebo, gas grill, patio, dock, picnic table, hammock, outdoor fire pit and Adirondack chairs make it the perfect setting to kick back or to entertain.

My two boys and I take a trip to a different part of the Adirondacks each summer. We really enjoyed this location and how close we were to so many fun things to do. We enjoyed our time just hanging out at the property too. Both boys fished for hours and loved swimming in the pond. Very clean and peaceful property inside and out.

This was the perfect setting for relaxing, quiet and stay provided everything that was needed. The inside and outside accommodations met all our needs and more. We had so much fun on the paddleboat which was in the cleanest and warm waters with plenty of fishing for my husband and grandson. The house had all needed items to cook and grill outside and picnic area. Highly recommend and the Host Diane is very attentive and answers all questions. Had the best time.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 May, 2023
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! Wish you had reached out to me during your stay, as I may have been able to remedy that with just a dehumidifier! Often when seasons and temps change quickly, humidity will cause odors, especially in a carpeted room. I have also scheduled the carpet for its annual spring cleaning to help ensure that future guests aren't affected. Glad you were able to enjoy the pondhouse and great weekend weather, but sorry it caused an inconvenient situation for you.

Wonderful week in an idyllic home

We were a party of 6 adults who stayed a week in order to make day trips to Lake George, Ticonderoga, Albany, Saratoga Springs and western Vermont. We found the home to be very comfortable and, in all ways, as depicted in the listing (or better). It was perfectly situated for the types of trips I mentioned and for days you want to stay on property, too. We hope to return!

My Family had a great stay at the Pondhouse. Diane was a fantastic host. Highly recommend. The house is adorable, clean and had all the amenities that we could need for a stay away from home. Lake Luzerne is an adorable town with fun historical sites and lots to do in the surrounding areas. Great spot for peace and quiet. The Pondhouse was so quiet. Fun to take the kayaks out in the early morning and watch the Herons catch their breakfast. Just what we needed. Many thanks for lovely memories.
