So happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay and please do return!
We had a great time visiting the cabin. Very remote location, which in turn led us to have some great family bonding time. Cabin was beautiful, well stocked and very clean. We really enjoyed the fire pit every night we were there. Would definitely love to go back in the winter.
If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you! This cabin is beautiful inside and out with everything you need and more. We enjoyed the fire pit and gorgeous views from the large deck. Very clean and well maintained.
We are already planning our next trip!

The house was extremely cleanly and beautifully maintained. Every detail in the cabin was absolutely beautiful. The beds were some of the most comfortable we've ever slept on before. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. The kids loved it as well!

Very quiet and away from it all. If you want some peace and quiet, this is the place. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. It was summer and the upstairs was a bit warm but the A/C works well. We would stay again.
Excellent Retreat to Get Away from the Stresses of Life
I had booked Shelving Rock Lodge for myself and several friends for Labor Day weekend. The location is perfect if you are looking to truly disconnect for a weekend or so. The property is beautiful and perfectly maintained near numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. It was a great fit for us as we really just wanted a quiet weekend away from the stresses of work.

Matthew,
So glad you enjoyed Shelving Rock during your family gathering. The property is different with each season so come back soon!
We recently stayed at this property for a bachelorette trip and it exceeded our expectations. The host was easy to contact and very accommodating. She let us delay our check out time so we could extend our trip. The property is beautiful and has a great view of the mountains. Very clean & tidy! We will absolutely be back in the future.
Lake George for long weekend. Cabin was beautiful, with fireplace and hot tub. Owner was very responsive and checked in on us with snowy forecast. Cabin is a little away from most restaurants, so 25 minutes drive? But if you're looking to get away from it all, this is your place 😊

Thank you and we're so glad you enjoyed your weekend away from it all. Yes, SRL is 25-30 minutes from restaurants, activities and shopping when you want to visit the area.
This oasis provides a wonderful place to connect with family and friends. A large outdoor fireplace, hot tub, indoor fireplace, and finished basement create many spaces to relax. The cabin is surrounded by lots of acreage and beautiful Mountain View’s. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for an Adirondack experience!

Thank you for kind words and we're so glad your party enjoyed all that Shelving Rock Lodge offers. We appreciate that you took such great care of the cabin. Come back anytime!
Our family had a fantastic time, staying at Shelving Rock Lodge for a long weekend. The property is beautifully maintained, and the house comes stocked with everything you could possibly need! From cooking delicious meals to playing games in the basement game room or sitting in the hot tub under the most stars we’ve ever seen in the sky the lodge has it all. Our family recommends checking it out and we will certainly be back in the near future. Thanks Theresa!

Thank you

Excellent, happy to hear that you used the firepit, it's getting chilly already!
We like to leave a few seasonings around in case you forgot something so you can spend more time relaxing...
Very comfortable, well equipped house with lovely garden. Great views from large deck with a nice hot tub, comfortable furniture and pretty views.
We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings under the stars and the children explored the various paths.
It is a really nice house for a family party, open kitchen, dining and living room. Bedrooms are really nice and bathrooms work well for a family group.
The location is quiet and away from any other properties so enjoyable for those that like peace and quiet. Hiking trails just a few minutes from the house.
We all had a great week and would like to stay at the house again.

Happy to hear your family enjoyed our property, it's a wonderful time of year in the Adirondacks. We welcome you back anytime, great guests!
Everything seemed great. Then the property owner kept pushing me to create a review. As soon as I completed the review she put in for an insurance claim. She told us about a red latch on the hot tub. We went out of our way to make sure we understood how this latched worked. She accused us of breaking it which we did not do. She claimed she just happened to have the part in stock and already replaced it.
We are from the area and grew up going to Shelving Rock. Family get together to visit family and relax. No cellular signal AT ALL at the house, which I love. They do have great WIFI though. Make sure you take a screen shot or write down the WIFI password so that you can access your device and check in procedures when you arrive. The house had everything we needed. Spices, cooking utensils, etc. We had 8 guests total, but missed that the 8th individual would need to utilize an air mattress. It wasn't a big deal because it is a very comfortable and nice air mattress. The deck is wonderful and there is so much space outdoors spread out. The fire pit really large and there is a lot of parking too. We would not hesitate to rent this property again. Lots of trailheads close by. I took my coffee each morning and hiked to a beautiful view. It was amazing. Be aware that you will be spending a lot of time driving on dirt roads if you are headed out from the property. Our only suggestions would be to add another bunk bed to the bunk room and maybe add bunks to the basement.

We loved our time at this cabin. Far enough away but close enough to Lake George to get there in under 30 min. Kids adapted to the Wi-Fi eventually! Looking forward to going back to this fantastic house in the future!
We really enjoyed our stay at Shelving Rock Lodge! It was incredibly clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the peaceful deck in the morning and hanging by the fire pit at night. The hot tub was an added bonus! It’s in a quiet, secluded area and a short distance to hiking trails and the falls. 100% recommend. We’ll be back!

Erin,
Thanks for being such a great guest, we are so glad that SRL met your needs and hope to see you again!
We loved our stay at Shelving Rock Lodge. The location is beautiful - surrounded by acres of wilderness. The home is cozy and welcoming. It is very comfortable place that is well organized and clean. It was the perfect getaway for two families who are longtime friends. It sleeted while we were there and the owners had the driveway sanded right away. We will definitely return.
Immaculate and spacious property. You can tell a lot of detail and planning has gone into this property. Our host Theresa was great. The house was the perfect holiday getaway for our family. It was clean, and had everything a family of 7 needed to have our Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen offered way more than most. The kids and adults loved the game room and the hot tub was great surrounded by distant mountains. Having a stream close by and the sound of it was very calming. Nearby, there are great options for hiking, our family absolutely loved it. If you would like to go to a clean, relaxing, beautiful property-this is the one. We highly recommend.

Deric,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy that you and your family enjoyed having Thanksgiving at Shelving Rock Lodge and we hope you will return soon!
Every season offers a new experience...
Theresa
If you desire to find "that special zen place" there is no need to travel halfway across the world to do so. It is in Fort Anne NY. This gem has it ALL...beautiful surroundings, close amazing hiking, and dare I say ...connective silence? The home contains a special vibe and it envelopes you as soon as you enter...sort of like a wonderful etheric blanket that is preparing you for advanced levels of relaxation. Theresa the owner was a pure joy we cannot say enough about how cared for we felt during our stay. I hope that after posting this review that many will have a chance to experience this amazing spot and visit Shelving Rock Lodge to reset themselves from the often chaotic world we all live in. 5 stars isn't enough, we give Theresa and Shelving Rock Lodge 10 shooting stars!
