  • Lake George Steamboat Company offers a variety of tours and tour lengths on three different boats. This is the Mohican, their largest. The trip was about 2.5 hours, cost about $23 per person and traveled from the southern point of the lake to about half way north. There is a snack bar but I did not visit it. There is commentary talking about the history of the lake, area and some of the houses. It was a very relaxing and pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Great weekend getaway

I had a wonderful weekend with my wife. The location is truly a highlight - secluded, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The cabin itself was clean, well equipped and overall comfortable. My only critique would be the WiFi which was spotty at times. Still, if you’re looking for a quiet retreat this is a great choice.

Quaint, quiet, and just what we needed

We had a great time during our stay. We used this as a base for our trip, and we enjoyed the view of the pond and the quietness of the property. It was a bit tucked away but was a nice drive and had everything we needed.

Thank you Sue!

My husband and I stayed here while celebrate my 35th birthday and we had a lovely time. The property is out of the way in tiny Stony Creek but getting to Lake George and surrounding towns was easy enough and being there was peqceful and relaxing. It was very cold outside while we were there but we were very warm inside with all the heaters and the fireplace. It also gets great natural light inside during the daytime, the photos don’t do it justice. Much recommended, thank you Sue!

Home away from home

It was a pleasant stay in these cabin, everything Is there for cooking. Cabin is bigger than it looks on photo & Sue always reply if I have a question. The road is scenic and 30-40 mins drive to lake George village. Follow Sue instruction how to get there, our navigation made a short cut and got us in a very narrow zigzag road by the mountains, not sure what town but it’s very dark and look dangerous to drive at night. Overall our stay is pleasant and quiet.

Nice host, unclean property

Being polite, let’s say mice are quite in evidence and for a long time. We cleaned in one day more than has been done in weeks or months. Electrical issues. Sporadic WiFi. Beautiful outside, many nooks and crannies to enjoy nature, fire pit, deck, chairs. Host took care of a billing issue as best she could with VRBO and helped us park safely. But not returning.

The view was amazing that was the only good part. My husnband and I stayed for two days. Took us 45 minutes to get the cabin clean.There were mouse droppings on counter and other places. The bed linen had nasy stains on it. The celing was fallin in, in the living room. There was dog hair all over the cabin floor. Looked like no one had bothered at all to clean. Very disappointed

Quant Adirondack Stay

The cabin was wonderful. Despite freezing conditions outside, the cabin was very cozy, and we were provided with many heating options. It is very secluded, but there is plenty to do in the cabin - puzzles and games were provided, and there's a tv in the main room. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and baking utensils, and it's clear a lot of consideration has gone into the accommodations to make a visit as enjoyable as possible. Overall wonderful experience and we look forward to visiting again soon (ideally in warmer weather).

Couldn't check in until 6 P.M.. Since it was rainy autumn day, it got dark early. Good thing my driving directions (which I looked up on google) were accurate because there wasn't any cell phone service. It was an adventure, but worth it. Hope I can return to enjoy the area. It could use some better curtains. I couldn't find much info on the location or lack of TV until after I had booked it!

Just okay

If you want to stay in a quiet place, this is it, but the cabin is right next to the main lodge which is not evident in the pictures or description. If you want a clean place, this is not your best bet. I understand it is a cabin in the woods, but the spider webs inside could have been removed before we arrived. The dishes and dish drainer were dirty, so we washed dishes before and after we used them. The windows had smudges and handprints on them and the kitchen table was sticky. We would have enjoyed it more if it was clean when we arrived, especially considering the price per night and the fact that guests are asked to sweep, vacuum, clean all surfaces and strip all the beds before you leave. Even though there is supposed to be a cleaning company.

Bug City

Booked for four nights, stayed for two. The property had an old broken down truck parked in front of the cabin. That cute little deck over looking the pond? Rotted out. And the bugs. Because the property had clearly not been mowed in awhile and the mowing was not done either far enough in advance nor was it far enough back, there were just gnats everywhere. We tried every anti-bug method we could think of and we were still swarmed every time we walked outside. Even my dog didn't want to go into the yard. The supposed trails were neither marked nor mowed. The shower drain was not working; we ended up plunging it. Overall, run down and not at all as described. The best points were that is is quiet and there is a lovely view of the night sky. Lovely song birds.

awesome mountain retreat

I loved it. Wood stove. Clean mountain air. Cozy quarters. Population of Stony Brook, NY - 600. Walk a quarter mile in the woods behind you and you come close enough to a beaver dam that you can touch it. Leave your cell phone at home, you can't get texts or wifi, although you can get wifi on your laptop. I went by myself for a retreat and this was the perfect place. Highly recommended.
