If you wish to use a different form of payment for the balance, please do let us know on or before check in.

While we know that no Guest can replace our other valuable Guests in spirit, we do know also that our Guests and families value their dollar, and we earnestly wish to refund those payments, and to host a Guest that will have the benefit of and enjoy their stay with us during that time. We also prefer to rent and receive payment in-full, rather than a deposit, as we value our dollar as well! We always work hard to make sure our Guests, even those who must cancel, are well taken care of.

Coffee: Each accommodation has a 1 or 4 cup drip style coffee maker and we provide filter/coffee packets according to the size of the machine. If you are accustomed to espresso style drinks, such as “Starbucks” products, please note that this is the traditional style drip coffee, and will not look the like those beverages. If looking for espresso based drinks, we suggest Bear’s Cup or Sunrise Cafe in Bolton Landing (10 min),  Cafe Vero in Lake George Village (5 min), or Dunkin Donuts Warrensburg (5 min).  

LAUNDRY: Our on-site coin operated laundry machines located in our seasonal recreation/ community room are only available prior to or after the property is winterized for the season. They are usually available from late April to Mid-October. Please ask us for assistance.

Please remove your shoes at the door- your accommodation will stay much cleaner without the outdoors coming in. It is helpful to bring a pair of sandals or slippers to wear inside. This helps keep our “Adirondack” nature (pine needles, leaves, rain, snow & that tough mountain mud) out of your living space.

Occasionally, a companion remote for the TV directly is provided. There is also an “on/off” button the most TVs as well. Kindly note that internet outages occur in this area regularly (utility provider). Roku remotes are notorious for burning through batteries. Please let us know if you connectivity with the TV. If you find that the Wifi is not working on a device, please refresh your device first, prior to reporting the difficulty. This is often the trick. If this doesn’t work – please don’t call us – instead, contact my teenage children (Just kidding!!…We will contact them for you -ha).

Please note, we do not have a pool side towel service.
