Cousins weekend.

This location is rural and fantastic! Large property, very quiet. Service is very spotty, but once you get the wifi code it's manageable. Our only challenge was people coming at different times and communicating with them. Good thing the gps was spot on! The house is large enough to accommodate a huge group, but if you are someone that loves blankets I suggest you bring your own. No extra blankets, just what is on the bed. The beds are made up nicely and most of them are fairly comfortable. No issues from our group. There are a set of stairs that are a little unusual, but there is a front set which most people used. The barn is actually a barn. The floor boards move a little bit and the pool table was slightly off. We had a blast anyway. Such charm. Having the fire in the back was amazing. No light pollution so you could see the night sky nicely. There is a great little farm store down the road that sells and makes maple products. Overall this was a great place. Just remember it is an older farmhouse with all the quirks of a farmhouse. I would definitely go back again. :)

Great Place

This house was perfect for our big family ski trip. We traveled with my elderly parents who were thrilled to have a bedroom on the main floor. Upstairs are lots of beds for all the skiers! There is plenty of dining space for everyone to eat. We even brought our dog who was very comfortable here and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the big field. During our stay we attempted to use the grill for hamburgers but couldn't get it to work. Glenda sent someone over that night to look at it and even brought a new grill over the next day. We had a great time and definitely would return again.

Friends Ski Weekend

We had a group of teenage boys and parents for the weekend, skiiny at Gore Mountain. The house was large enough to fit all of us and provided everything we needed. Glenda was a great communicator and we felt at home at the property. Plus Gore was only 25 minutes away. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Family get away

The farm house was nice and clean Lots of rooms. We had an issue with the pool and was taking care within 15 minutes of contacting them. On the minus side the mattresses was not very comfortable, one of the stairs case was very very steep and narrow And the caveman was disappointing. Overall good place

Relaxing Family Reunion

We were 15 people who were celebrating our parents 80th. We did a scavenger hunt in Lake George, had a birthday bbq with other local family. We did some putt putt and lots of swimming in the pool, can jam and spike ball. We also cruised around looking for swimming holes.

FAMILY GATHERING

We enjoyed the roominess of the house and the multiple bedrooms. The swimming pool and pool table were hits. There was a plugged up sink, which we reported, and it was taken care of the same day. This was the 3rd time we used this house because of the number of bedrooms and pet policy. (We had 12 people in 3 generations.)

Nice location cleanliness terrible

It is a beautiful setting outside with the exception of an old boat and burnt out camper out back. The family had a good time playing in the snow, building forts and a snowman. Unfortunately, inside, dust was in many places but worst was mouse droppings in pots and pans, utensils and dishes, lots of dead flies in ceiling lights, broken window blinds and black mold in bathtubs and behind the toilets. Back stairway light didn't work. Washer/dryer was out of order. A newer washer was placed under a stairwell where we needed to hook up the water and replace leaking hoses. The dryer was on an outside back porch (winter time). Some outlets need replacing. One closet the back wall was wet from a leaky roof making one blanket wet. Beds could be upgraded. The hot water in the main floor bathroom sink would not turn off completely and there is an extra sink in the dinning area that kept dripping the whole time, we texted the owner and with no repair by the owner. A pool table is a good place for a “man cave” however, the bumpers on all sides are broken so when trying to play, the balls go up and over the edge. How about broken boards in the wall, near the floor. The owner stated that she was also having problems with her phone.

A great location for exploring the Adirondacks

The well appointed house is very nicely decorated and comfortable. There was ample room for our group to sit around the large table for breakfast and late night snacks. It is a short distance to Lake George, Glens Falls and Warrensburg.

Great Spot!

It was an awesome spot but the driveway is a shared road so in the parking directions this should be noted. We also got a noise complaint in the middle of the day because we were playing yard games. Though is was funny with a police officer showing up at a bachelorette so it made a story. Listing should note there are 2 other properties on the 70 acres. Bed mattresses could be updated. The listing should note the pool table area is in a separate barn. Overall, a great experience and lovely weekend!

Athol's Farm House

We loved the old farmhouse, especially the front porch!! The yard was large and great for the kids and games. We had a few glitches at first, but a text to Glenda and things were resolved. We were about 30minutes away from Lake George and the activities that we did. A wonderful time. Thank you --The Campbell's
