Incredibly relaxing weekend in a well equipped house
The lake was extremely relaxing while offering great areas for more social activities in the Game Room. The grill and kitchen were wonderfully equipped for our large group and made the overall stay a breeze.
Highly recommend!

Beautiful comfortable and entertaining lakefront home! Family of 10 adults and 8 young kids had plenty of space and activities to fill the week. The house was clean with cozy beds and spacious common areas. The game room/bar was a hit for all ages! Family friendly yard and lakefront. We will go back.

Thank you for the lovely review, Sherrie. We are so happy that you could get out and enjoy all the fun things to do at home.:) We would love for you to come back and revisit us real soon.
The photos were very accurate of the property and it was so beautiful. We loved being here for the week and all of the choices of activities at this house ( game room, hot tub, fire pit, dock, canoes, etc.) was the best. We explored Lake George and just had a wonderful week. The house was just big enough for our family get together and allowed us to all have fun and make memories.

Incredible Property with amazing Docside Lake experience
Large group of friends stayed to experience travers day in Saratoga for the horse races. Spent Saturday in Saratoga and every other day couldn’t get enough of the house. Amazing time playing games (pool, darts, shuffle board, horseshoes etc) and was lucky enough to have beautiful weather using the kayaks and paddle boards. Highly recommend and would love to do it again. The house has everything you need and more.

Everyone loved the location, small suggestions. Hot tub too far from the house (winter) summer most likely ok, 2 bedrooms next to the kitchen were very cold at least 10 degrees off. Nice large kitchen and well equipped but some of my friends like hot tea and the kitchen was missing a cattle.

We’re so glad you and your friends enjoyed the location and had a great time celebrating New Year’s Eve. We always strive to provide our guests with the best experience, and it’s wonderful to know that the space's atmosphere was appreciated.
We do want to address the points you mentioned in your review:
Hot Tub Location: While we understand that the distance from the house may have been chilly for winter, we’ve found that guests enjoy the seclusion of the hot tub, especially during warmer weather.
Heat in 2 bedrooms- If you ever stay with us again and experience any issues, please reach out to our office so that we may address them!
Kettle in the Kitchen: We do our best to equip the kitchen with everything guests may need. We’ve taken note of your suggestion for a kettle, and would have been more than happy to deliver one, had we known prior to your departure.
We feel that the points mentioned are relatively minor, and while we strive for perfection, we believe that a 2-star rating doesn’t quite reflect the overall positive experience. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to make improvements, but we’re confident that the stay was more in line with a higher rating.
Had a great time with family and friends. Place was great. The fireplace was out of commission and has been for a while but listing states Fireplace. Also no closets in bedrooms. Wasn’t an issue as it’s winter and just sweaters etc with nothing needed to really hang up. Otherwise loved the space and game room separate from house was great for our kids.
This was the perfect spot to join family and friends for a short weekend birthday celebration. We are all locals who have enjoyed a lot of time on Hadlock Pond so access was super easy. The house was meticulously clean and extremely well stocked. There is so much to do on the property that no one was bored. The host was very responsive with any questions we had. Getting to and from the water is pretty steep with lots of stairs so anyone with gait issues may have a tough time. Once down to the water, the size of the dock and the kitchenette are very accommodating. Only suggestion I have would be to figure out a bathroom situation down there. We had a wonderful time!

We are thrilled that you had a fantastic stay at Dockside Manor! Thank you for choosing Northern Living, and we really appreciate your feedback. We welcome you back again at any time!
The property was amazing. The house was adequate for our family. We had a terrific time in the game room, hot tub, and fire pit, and it gave us all a chance to have fun and make memories. There is no need to bring anything except food because the kitchen is well-stocked.
The Northern Living staff was so sweet to have welcome wine, s'mores, a box of cookies, and a birthday card waiting for me... I'm so touch❤️
We'll surely come back, perhaps in the summer to appreciate the lake, because we had two rainy days. Overall, we had an amazing time!!!
Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable 💕💕

Stunning and Beautiful
This house was breathtaking. Every little detail was perfect. Open, spacious, clean, overly stocked with all our needs, the decor, high-end furnishings, and finishes. This property blew us out of the water. The lakefront was like having our own resort on the water, beautiful sandy bottom with clear water.
The bar/game room and fire pit along with all other outdoor private activities caused us never to leave the property.
Katelyn and Brian we simply amazing. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. You made our vacation a memorable one! See you next year.

We love to blow people out of the water :) We look forward to seeing you again to make more wonderful memories t/The Northern Living Gang
The property is great - big yard, fire pit, hot tub, arcade room and right on the water with big docks. Was a great spot with lots of kids as they were able to run around to different activities and it's pretty secluded so we didn't have to be on them full time. The house is well appointed - nice furnishings, good for big group - large couches, open kitchen. We had a great time. One note - if you're going in the offseason (we went mid April), there's restrictions on using kayaks, etc. in the water which was a bummer. We went last April to another property and were able to go on the water full time. Kids still jumped in even though it was freezing but would have been better to take out a kayak or paddle boat since it was 60+ degrees and sunny when we were there. Overall, nice spot and I'm sure it's a ton of fun in the summer.

Rachel, thank you for the review. We are so happy to have you back and hear that you enjoyed the home. Unfortunately, we are unable to rent/provide kayaks and paddleboards when the weather is still cold. This is only to protect guests and keep them safe. We hope you understand. We would love to have you stay with us, again!
This house is perfect for a large group. We had 15 and had extra beds.
Three loving areas. Kitchen well
Stocked. Property immaculate and gorgeous.
Waterfront is perfect and has everything.
Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards and a canoe and a perfect dock for a small boat.
We water skied every day all day. Small
Lake. Nothing commercial on it but perfect for Young kids to paddle around alone.
Cabana near waterfront perfect with sink, cabinets, BBQ and Fridge.
There are steps tot he beachfront so def not for disabled or people who cannot do steps.
We did have elderly parents and they made the trip down daily.
The game room
Was amazing and everything was well thought out.
Fire pit great, outside play set and horseshoe game.
Highly
Recommend.

Thank you so very much for your kind and detailed review, Margaret! We are very glad to hear your family had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all the features that Dockside has to offer! Hadlock is quite a peaceful little lake and is quite perfect for family outings. We hope you all visit us again!
The property location was fantastic. It is just as depicted in the pictures. We made good use of the fire pit, arcade and pool room, and of course the lake. If you’re traveling with young children, you should know that there is no beach area where they can gradually go into the water. The stairs off the dock are the only way in, but our group of non swimming 3-5 year olds did fine with floaties.
The only disappointing thing was that there was no shampoo or soap in the bathrooms. For the price of this home, I feel that this should be included. Also, you should know that there are no spices. If you’re planning to cook in, which we did every night, you will need to bring your own spices, olive oil, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, crock pot, coffee maker and plenty of dishes.
We had a wonderful week! There were 18 of us ranging from 1 to 88 and there was plenty of room.

Jeanette, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us at Dockside Manor, and would welcome you and your family/friends in the future.
A great spot for our family Thanksgiving. The game room is wonderful, a very well stocked kitchen, and plenty of comfortable seating. The upstairs seating area was unexpected and very comfortable. The hot tub was nice and great views. The outside court was popular with the teens.
We only ended up having 11 and it would have been hard to sleep a lot more, but it was fine for our group.
Only a couple of issues. The walk-in shower door trapped an elderly family member for over an hour. The door does not slide on the track, it needs to be pulled forward to open. There really needs to be directions on the door since this isn't typically how shower doors work. This could have been a very dangerous situation, but fortunately we found her stuck after an hour and were able to get her out.
FYI, the decorative fire place is not to be used per house directions so it should not be listed as an amenity and the remote should not be in the house if it isn't safe to use. We didn't use it, but it would have been nice to have an operational fireplace as it was cold downstairs and hot upstairs.
Overall, a great place to stay!

Me and some friends rented this property for a ski trip and it was perfect! I'm always wary about getting too excited about a location from the pictures, since often times they're more flattering than real life, but the property was just as spacious and luxurious as the photos led us to believe. I especially appreciated the hot tub, which was the best way to end a long day of skiing in 0 degree weather. The property manager was extremely communicative and answered all questions I had almost immediately.
