Family weekend

Kathleen’s condo is extremely nice with lovely Adirondack touches throughout. Our family of 4 had plenty of space. We really enjoyed spending family time by the fireplace. Kathleen is a very accommodating host available to answer any questions you may have during your stay. Thanks again Kathleen, we look forward to our next trip.

Peaceful retreat

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Everything was clean and the setting was relaxing and inviting. It was just a short drive to lake George where we spent most of our weekend. We had everything we needed in the house. The WiFi was fast and reliable as well! I loved the themed rooms and attention to details all over the place. Kathleen was awesome with communication and if we're ever in the area again I know where I'll be going!

Just Wow!!!

What an amazing rental property. Lots of beautiful things to see and do in the area, but this property is so amazing that it made you just want to be inside the whole time! Every space clean, well decorated, comfy, just brilliantly done. The host? Incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. A million thanks to her for being a great host! Didn’t micromanage the stay nor was she absent. She struck a perfect balance to make the stay 100% enjoyable. When i come back I am will not be staying anywhere else thats not there. Just wow!

This is a beautiful, cozy gem in the Adirondacks! The property was just as good as it was described and showed in pictures. It was extremely clean and decorated so nicely. If I could give this more stars, I would. Kate was amazing to deal with and very prompt in responding. Our family HIGHLY recommends this sweet place!

Beautiful home and decorated for the season. House was spot less and notes letting you know if there were issues what to do and who to call. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and by far this was the best. You felt like you were home and only a few miles from shops and adventures.

Home in the woods

My husband, in-laws and I stayed for the 2024 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Queensbury about 1/2 hour away. I searched online for a cozy, comfortable place for the 6 of us to stay and we couldn’t have been any happier with our choice. Kate has the most beautifully decorated home right down to lights. I’m told the decorations change for the season and I do not doubt that every change is something to see. The house is set just perfectly in the woods and the way the windows look out to the back yard, you could imagine during a snow fall the scene would be picturesque. The house is equipped with every kitchen appliance and utensil you could need. There are also board games to play with family & friends. The beds are comfortable and showers are hot with good pressure. We did not need anything during our stay, but there’s no doubt in my mind that Kate would have been extremely responsive had we needed anything. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Kates home again!

Great Place for a Getaway in the Adirondacks

The condo was perfect! One of the best and well-stocked condos I've ever seen. We needed some downtime from a hectic summer travel schedule and found it. Loved the fireplace and the cozy atmosphere nestled in the woods. Cellular was sketchy, but the wi-Fi signal was great and we had no problems at all.using our mobile phones.

Best Place Ever

Kathleen's home was the best place we have ever stayed in on our vacations in the Saratoga/Lake George area. Comfortable, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean. She is the ultimate host, including going out of her way to suggest fun activities for us to do. What a wonderful person! We would love to stay there again as she made everything a total pleasure!

Magnificent!!!

We’ve been staying at VRBO properties for 20 years & Kathleen has been our favorite host of all. She rescued our vacation (canceled by Debby) with 24 hours notice. Our stay was wonderful. The house was immaculately clean & beautifully decorated with endless lovely personal touches. Bears & moose & wolves, oh my! The cabin décor made us feel right at home. It was cozy, welcoming, & comfortable in every way. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted; beds wonderful; bathrooms had great layouts, amenities, H2O pressure/temp; W/D conveniently located; living room beautiful & comfy with a view, great TV for Olympics, & games; great wifi; screened porch with peaceful sights & sounds of nature was adored by all. The neighborhood is quiet. Tripp Lake Beach was a highlight with kayaks, chairs, umbrellas, pool toys, docks, great swimming, & terrific views. We found it very relaxing. The property is in an excellent location – you can get to the grocery & restaurants in 10 minutes, & many exciting towns, hikes, & activities are within 1.5 hours. We enjoyed Whiteface, Prospect, ziplining, ww rafting, disc golf, hiking, swimming, kayaking, games, book shops, restaurants, ADK Museum, & hanging out at home base. Throughout the process, Kathleen was incredibly kind, thoughtful, & attentive. Read her host comments in the listing & take in the “words of wisdom” décor around her house & you’ll get a sense of her warmth. We enjoyed ourselves immensely & would definitely love to return. Thanks Kathleen!

Perfect!!!!

Your home is wonderful.I felt instantly comfortable from the moment we walked in. I sat out on the porch, read my book and dozed here and there. So relaxing. The theme of the decor fit perfectly. Now, to me, one of the most important things...your home is immaculate. Every inch. The bathrooms looked as though no one had every used them. Your attention to detail was amazing. I never felt uncomfortable using any of your plates, utensils and appliances. My only suggestion for the kitchen would be to add some brighter lighting and a standard (12 cup) coffee pot.We hope that once we decide on a date for next year, you will be able to accommodate us. Thank you so much.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen

Host profile image
I grew up in the area and graduated from the local high school in Chestertown, NY. I know the area well but never seemed to take advantage of the things in my own "backyard" but isn't that how it usually is? I currently live in NYC and enjoy every moment I come to my home away from home as I still have family in the area.

Why they chose this property

My grandparents, with the help of the extended family, built their home from the foundation up located not too far from here in the Adirondacks with the interior being wood. The first-time walking into my place reminded me of their beautiful home and instantly gave me the feeling of being home once again. It also helps to remind me that you should never forget where you come from and to always be grateful for the blessings you have in your life. It helps me to remember all the fun times our family had growing up doing the simplest things together as a family.
In the time that I purchased to now, my family has all helped to make it the home you see today as they each had a hand in it. Tremendous thought went into every detail, not matter how great or small, to make it feel like home for not just my family but yours as well. Examples are the outlets/light covers in the bear or moose room, pictures that I took of the local areas, or the painting that my mom did that is hanging in the living room in hopes that others are able to experience the feeling of "home".
The vision I had when I purchased the property was to create a place that family and friends can come and enjoy the place as much as I do each and every time I come here. My wish is that others are able to come and make memories like I had growing up. In a world of technology and craziness, this is a place to come and reconnect, to build stronger relationships with your loved ones or simply "just be" and enjoy living in the moment. Life is so short and often times we take our time together for granted....

What makes this property unique

With the property located at the top of a small hill, there is only one other building next to the unit. With it being the end unit, I am next to a stream that runs next to the property and after a heavy rain or snow melt, there is nothing like hearing the peaceful sound of the water running towards the lake while sitting on the porch or listening through an open window. Through out the day you can hear the birds at the lake or at night the sound of the frogs down at the lake. The lake is so close so often times I can be found there, enjoying the water or simply just sitting by the lake enjoying the beauty that surrounds. If you like running like I do, there is a loop I do that passes the golf course and there is nothing like an early morning run when others are still sleeping.
By far my favorite time here is during the winter. The wall where the fireplace has windows from floor to ceiling (including the White Birch room) and to sit by the windows or lay in bed and watch the magic of the freshly falling snow.....feeling as if you are in a snow globe. Add in the holiday lights... just feels magical to me.
Once you stay here, I think you will be able to see and feel what it is that I do. That is what I have envisioned for this property.
