Great home, right on the water. Well appointed, comfortable and cozy. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook your favorite meals. If cooking isn’t your thing on vacation the location of the home is close enough to great restaurants. Would absolutely rent this home again! Very, very quiet at night.

Excellent family vacation week!

Our family was very impressed with this home, the location and all that it had to offer. We loved being able to use the kayaks and sit by the water. It was a little on the cool side, so no swimming, but a great place to be anyway!

Great Lake House Vacation

Lovely lake house located right on Hadlock Pond in Fort Ann area. Great central air conditioning and WiFi service throughout. Host (Daniel) is friendly and helpful. Home is well stocked with supplies for guests and we loved using the included 3 kayaks and paddle board every day. Very convenient to lots of outdoor activities at local adventure centers too!

This is a lovely place. Literally nothing was missing. Had everything we needed and more. Family trip with ages from 9 months to 63 and everyone was comfortable. There are a lot of rocks in the swimming area, so brig water shoes, but a lovely place to spend time in the water and shallow for the kids. Host was super communicative and helpful with our questions. My only complaint is that there is very little storage space in the kitchen which made it a bit cramped. Overall a great week and beautiful place!

Great House on the Lake!

Cabin was as advertised. Right by the lake, was awesome for the kids to be able to go play it whenever they wanted. There are kayaks, a peddle boat and a paddle board to use. Owner was very communicative. Everything was great, highly recommend!!!

Wonderful waterfront

Our grandchildren especially had a wonderful time swimming and kayaking using the kayaks and paddle board. We brought kayaks and floats but discovered the house had them when we arrived. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of places to sit outside on the deck and dock.

Family getaway

We had a great week on the water! The house had everything we needed. We made use of the kayaks and paddleboard often. But most of the time we just liked to all float in the water together or hang out on the dock! Plenty of space inside and out for our group of 11 (mostly adults). Daniel was great to work with and we all said it was our best place yet!

Fort Ann/Lake George Vacation Home

Our family absolutely loved this vacation home! We are a family of 7 adults and 2 teens. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed/wanted. The owner was very responsive to our questions prior to our check-in. The waterfront property was great as well, including kayaks, paddle board and peddle boat for our use and a beautiful boat dock with many chairs. This was one of our family's best vacation spots and we look forward to being able to revisit this property in the future!

Amazing Stay

One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in. Clean with all the amenities possible. Great location. We stayed to see the ice castles but they canceled. No one was disappointed though. We tried ice fishing on the lake. At night we sat by the indoor fire and played games. Plenty of room for all!!

5 Senior High School Friends Getting Together

Very clean, well maintained, and very well stocked. Daniel was quick to respond to communications, although my cell phone service was spotty at times. Wonderful location on water and there were several towns nearby. The house was decorated with an Adirondack theme and felt quite homey. I felt like Goldilocks in the Three Bears' house sleeping on the "just right" mattress. This was the best VRBO rental I've stayed in so far.

It doesn't get better!

The house was beautiful and the owners attended to every detail. It was stocked with basic supplies, towels, etc. They had a kayak, paddle board , swim rings, and a peddle boat ready for use. One of the best vacations we've ever taken. I highly recommend this location.

Great Stay at Fort Ann Lake House

We recently travelled to Lake Hadlock for a much needed vacation with friends (6 adults, 5 kids ranging from 2 to 7 years old). Daniel was very helpful answering all of our questions leading up to check-in day and we were very happy with the property. If you have children, you really can't beat the set-up for swimming/boating/fishing. The shoal that is just to the left of the dock creates a huge swimming area for the kids, where even the youngest in our group could stand. We will definitely be back!

The Hadlock Lake Adirondack Dream

I very nice property with all of the extras you could want. Even your own private island.... (I would have liked if some of the undergrowth were cut back a little, I was wanting to do a few photos of friends on it, but the bushes made it hard). (it's only about 15 feet long and 6 feet wide!) Hanging on the deck was a favored place, great view!
