The Loon-ey Bin - Loon themed cottage less than 10 miles to Lake George

This Guest violated the house rule of max 6 occupants 2 vehicles at all times (day or night), that she agreed to upon booking, which is clearly stated on the lease that she signed and accepted (submitted late on day of arrival), and is posted clearly in the rental as a house rule. She invited 12 people and 4 vehicles to a max 6 people/2 vehicle property. The rules and lease also state that the occupancy rules are strictly enforced. She only complained about the property when I stopped to ask her to comply with the rules or leave the property. The cottage is a rustic cabin in the Adirondacks. The cabin is cleaned thoroughly and towels and bed linens laundered at high temps off site. Upon checkout, I noted no smell and the refrigerator was clean, and under beds as well. Guests are tasked with cleaning the dishes they use (there is a dishwasher!!) as inventory of all items cannot be performed during a 5 hour turnover window. If contacted, I would have gladly brought over any item lacking. Prior guest did not report any missing or damaged items. Beds are very comfortable, as other guests have noted. The Looney Bin is an authentic Adirondack cabin, with adorable loon theme, kayaks, and close to Lake Luzerne public beach. Best for those who want the privacy and peacefulness that comes from sipping a cup of coffee in the morning, on the front porch, listening to the call of the loons. Can't get that from a hotel, with shared walls and porches, no matter where. But you have options...just follow the rules wherever you fly!

Matthew- so glad you enjoyed your Loon-ey experience! Please consider flying back to the Looney Bin VRBO#2372016 or one of my other nearby rentals when you migrate back to the Lake George/Lake Luzerne area!

The Looney Bin is a quintessential Adirondack Seasonal Cottage, with an adorable theme, brand new bathroom and stones throw from quiet and gorgeous Lake Luzerne (2 kayaks and carts included), pets accepted, and quick drive to all the Lake George region has to offer - a tremendous value! This was my response to the guest when she texted me pictures the night before her last night, of exterior pictures of cobwebs and a pile of sticks, and extension cords and power supply less than 4 in from the wall, saying she would be leaving early the next day: The Looney Bin is not for everyone, but many guests this summer have enjoyed the authentic Adirondack cottage vibe that the property oozes. Spiders are common this time of year (Sept) and impossible to eradicate as they appear quickly. Life in the Adirondacks, unfortunately. The porch is a great spot to hang out and enjoy nature, and approx to the beach, kayaks provided and opportunity to observe and hear the loons is what the Looney Bin is all about. Sorry it wasn't for you. The exterior of the house is pressure washed and maintained annually at the start of the season (May). Only lawn care weekly during rental season. The spiders can re engineer a web in approx one hour, and they are helpful in keeping other insects under control. The electric cords (one pic is a surge protector to protect the router and internet capability) are tucked against the walls and away from floor space. They also provide AC in the cottage. Re the "debris pile" - we had a severe thunderstorm last week and some branches came down and were piled. Previous guests have been using it as firepit starter and its been helpful to have available for use. I realize that not every guest is for every property. I do have other rentals in the area that allow pets, but maybe a hotel/motel that allows pets would be better suited for your needs. The Looney Bin is accurately depicted with inside and outside pictures on the listing. I won't be extending a refund or discount for your night before departure complaints and pictures about power cords, fireplace (no fires are allowed in cottage inside per lease) and exterior cobwebs. Wish you well in finding a more suitable rental in the future.
