Other things to note
West Mountain Ski area details: Just for clarity- our location is indeed at the base of West Mountain, and borders the lower road/ bunny hill. However, we do not offer access that way. Since we are only two driveways from the parking lot entrance (see photos), our Guests can easily walk over to the Lodge using W Mtn road and then through the parking area, or, feel free to drive. On a crowded day, this really helps! Please remember that any and all access to West Mountain Ski area requires the appropriate lift or access tickets. We are not owned by the mountain or its owners, and access to the mountain is not included in your reservation.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:The town of Queensbury has set specific regulations pertaining to short-term rentals. A full house-guidelines sheet will be provided to you. Please note the following important items per the Town of Queensbury short-term rental regulations:
1. Summer rental stays between May 15 - Sept 15 must be a minimum of 5 nights. This creates some difficulty in searching for the home.

Please contact us so that we can help you with this reservation if your schedule does not allow a 5 night stay, or, if you have any questions. The BONUS of this arrangement is that for shorter stays, you may have some flexibility in dates built into your reservation, allowing for changes should you need them. We will work with you in order to remain in compliance and help you find the right fit for your budget! We also offer other accommodations in Lake George / Diamond Point, and can help you find the best fit.
