Le camp de base des Adirondacks pour toute la famille

The house/structure itself was represented relatively fairly, and it is only a couple miles from the village, an hour from Saratoga Springs. Our main criticism of the house itself was that the basement is dark and a bit musty, where 2 of the bedrooms and one of the 2 common rooms are located. However, the house is not on the lake itself, and you cannot even see the lake from the house - it feels like it's in the woods. The noise from the busy nearby main road was constantly prominent. Importantly for us, the beach is not private - it is part of a HOA. So even though there is indeed a kayak, canoe, and SUP, you have to bring the paddles down from the house each time, a few minutes walk away, down a hill and through a tunnel under the main road. You can't leave anything of your own on the beach, so you do not have the option to rent or bring other recreational equipment. We rented a powerboat far in advance, for skiing, tubing, fishing, etc. However, we did not find out until a month before the arrival date (when final payments are typically made, and the address and official policies are finally released) that docking the boat would be prohibited by HOA rules, and even trailering in the driveway was prohibited. We were forced to cancel our rental, which had required a security deposit. So, if you don't mind the woodsy feel and road noise, and don't intend to use the beach much, then this is a very reasonable rental. However, we felt that the house location and HOA rules limited our vacation in a significant way. In retrospect we obviously should have made a number of detailed owner inquiries, but we felt the property was represented in such a way that such questions were not necessary. We are water/lake people, so this turned into a disappointing weeklong stay.

Nice house that is very convenient to many activities and had a very nice stay.

Very nice house that is conveniently located to local activities.

We had a wonderful stay at the Schroon Lake Lodge! It is a very welcoming, warm, clean home that is perfect for larger families. Erin is an attentive and kind host, and is quickly responsive to any questions that might arise. We look forward to spending another week at this beautiful home!

We love that the owners provide beach equipment such as a SUP, a canoe, and a kayak. The firepit is great as well as the sunroom. Erin is very responsive to our needs. Thanks for everything!
