Great getaway
Publié le 22 août 2024 sur HomeAwayThree families stayed at the property (6 adults, 4 children). Plenty of room for all of us. It’s a cool house with good separation. The pool table and the big kitchen table got a lot of use! The kids loved fishing in the little pond behind the house. We didn’t get to use the treehouse much, but the kids thought it was really cool.
The house is certainly remote in a quiet town. Lake George is about ~45 min away, not a bad drive. Restaurant options are limited within ~15 minutes, but there are good ones.
Great place to stay to getaway and relax!

Anniversary Weekend
Publié le 18 août 2024 sur HomeAwayBeautiful location and home. Check in was easy, but 5:00 was too late to check in with hungry children! Plenty of space for us all to spread out. Nice outdoors with pond, basketball court and plenty of places to roam.
Our biggest complaint was the sound of the caretakers' truck leaving the property between 5 and 6 each morning. Because we were not allowed to put out garbage after 6, or use the basketball court after 10 because it infringed on the caretakers it seemed to us that this was inconsiderate to the paying guests.
It was especially inconvenient that we couldn't shower/bath the first night or until after 10:30 the next morning due to septic problems. We realize septic problems come unexpectedly, but could have been handle better. Hot water was not adequate for 11 guests.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our location and all of our outdoor amenities. A 5 p.m. check-in is not our norm, but during peak summer seasons our cabin is continually booked; so we need that time to clean and prepare this large home before our next guests’ arrival. The reason we don’t put trash out after 6 p.m. at night is because this can lead to visits by nighttime critters in the mountains. Regarding the showers, we do have a very large water heater. But if the two-person rainhead/sauna shower in the master bedroom is used along with other showers at the same time, you may need to allow some water-reheating time as in all homes. The unusual septic tank issue, as we explained in advance, was repaired quickly outside the house and did not affect usage of the showers. We are sorry that the sound of the caretaker’s truck leaving awakened you, but most of our guests find having an on-site caretaker a great advantage. Thank you again for coming to enjoy our beautiful Adirondacks.

Beautiful house and great communication
Publié le 1 août 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had 11 adults/friends in our group for our yearly reunion. The house was very clean with everything we needed. The bedding and furnishings are high quality and comfortable, we had plenty of space, and everyone had plenty of space so we didn’t feel crowded at all. Even though the caretaker is close by, we didn't see him or feel watched over, which was nice. Shannon was awesome and quick to reply to any questions I had. The house is close to a public beach (about 5 min drive) with bathrooms, food, picnic areas, volleyball, etc. We also went tubing down the Hudson River through Beaver Brook Outfitters, which was about a 20-25 minute drive from the house and a lot of fun. The treehouse is impressive and we enjoyed sitting on both the front and back porches. The pool and foosball tables were great to have and we used them quite a bit. The kitchen was perfect for making meals together. I wouldn’t say the pond is a swimming pond, but we did enjoy seeing the turtle and frogs! Overall a great stay, great host, and I would highly recommend!

Perfect Setting for Summer
Publié le 23 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a great time in our stay! The house is so well set up for a large group with ample seating in all spaces. The kids loved the game room and took full advantage of the pool table and foosball table. We had preteens and teens that found plenty of things to keep them off screens for our stay. The lawns are huge for games like corn hole and frisbee. The Minerva beach was very convenient with a great little snack bar. A big storm knocked out power in the surrounding area for 24 hours while we were there but we didn’t even know thanks to the generator onsite. The host was responded quickly to every question we had. We had a great time and highly recommend this listing.

Celebrating 40 years
Publié le 8 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayOur family of 14 had a wonderful stay at Heron Pond Hideaway. Our grandchildren enjoyed feeding the fish in the pond as well as “Snappy” the turtle of the pond. They enjoyed some fishing as well as a couple of nights of campfires, s’mores, and trivia. We railbiked and tubed just 15 minutes away and spent a day at the Great Escape just 45 minutes away. Our last two days we spent at the house playing indoor and outdoor games and enjoying the two large porches and comfortable chairs. It was a vacation full of lasting memories.

Spacious cabin in the woods
Publié le 22 juin 2024 sur HomeAwaySpent four days here with friends and family while hiking in the area. The pictures look great, but the place looks even better in person. There are plenty of room to spread out amongst the multiple living areas and there is plenty of property to wander around outside. Despite staying here during a record heat wave with the outside temperature in the 90s, the house remained very pleasant in the 70s, despite not having AC. I would definitely return here again the next time I'm in the Adirondacks.

Friends and family
Publié le 17 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a wonderful stay with 6 adults and 4 children under 7 years old. The property was secluded but accessible to shroon lake and hiking trails. It was very clean and comfortable. The pond and treehouse were a huge hit with the kids. We already discussed staying again next year.

Winter wonderland
Publié le 25 févr. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe stayed at the house for 5 nights with a large group of families and kids from toddlers to teenagers.
The house is very beautiful, with lots of nice personal touches, but also very comfortable and spacious. We could all hang out together, but there were also lots of nice nooks and break out areas to keep everyone happy and occupied (pool table and hot tub were a hit, as was the pond, outside fire pit and tree house).
Super close to Gore & well set up for ski gear storage. Super accessible but also very private - good place for kids to run around and feel like they are in the middle of wilderness.
One of our favorite trips.
Thank you Shannon!

Amazing stay
Publié le 20 févr. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe went on a ski trip with our friends and family. The house is absolutely stunning and has everything you need. The outside view of the pond is beautiful and the tree house was a fun plus. Very close to gore mountain about 15-20 minutes. Every person that came loved the house with no complaints. Thank you so much!
