Waterfront Retreat on Mini "Golden Pond" 10 Miles Lake George

TRANQUIL RETREAT -Three bedroom home situated on a mini 'On Golden Pond'. Only three other homes on the privately owned 10 acre pond. Paddleboat or kayaks- all available onsite to navigate the crystal clear water. Located on the dammed end of the pond, you'll be serenaded by the sound of water running over the dam into the creek below. Also, only a 1/4 mile to Lake Luzerne public beach. The Gazebo, gas grill, patio, dock, picnic table, hammock, outdoor fire pit and Adirondack chairs make it the perfect setting to kick back or to entertain.

And inside, (if you ever go in): The house is fully furnished, with a living room, bedroom, large full bathroom with washer and dryer, kitchen and dining room on the first floor. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator, electric stove/oven, coffee maker, microwave and toaster. There is a large window in the kitchen with a beautiful view of the pond to inspire you while you cook. The large dining room table can seat up to 8 people. The other two bedrooms are on the second floor; both have windows overlooking the water. All bedrooms accommodate up to two people. Linens and garbage service are provided. Internet access included.

Such a beautiful property. This was our second time staying at this property. We love the area and the house is such a central location to Lake George and other areas. Our favorite thing about the home is the kayaks, I was up at 6 AM every day all by myself kayaking around the pond. We used the fire pit every day, just up the road there was someone selling firewood for 15 for a wheelbarrow full, it was enough to last us for four nights. Within walking distance of the home, there’s a beautiful park with some small waterfalls and two little one room with museums. There’s a mini golf and an ice cream stand also within minutes.

My Family had a great stay at the Pondhouse. Diane was a fantastic host. Highly recommend. The house is adorable, clean and had all the amenities that we could need for a stay away from home. Lake Luzerne is an adorable town with fun historical sites and lots to do in the surrounding areas. Great spot for peace and quiet. The Pondhouse was so quiet. Fun to take the kayaks out in the early morning and watch the Herons catch their breakfast. Just what we needed. Many thanks for lovely memories.

The pictures on the website were somewhat misleading and didn’t accurately reflect the overall cleanliness of the house. Upon arrival, there was a noticeable musty smell, and the property appeared as though it hadn’t been cleaned or occupied for quite sometime.

Quiet and peaceful

Very quiet and peaceful area, close to the market and it is a great area to walk with a dog. We felt safe and secluded. The water in the pond was so clear all the way to the bottom and the use of the paddle boat was a lovely perk. We typically rough camp locally during the summers visiting with family, but with a new baby we wanted some more modern conveniences like running water and electricity - the pond house was a fabulous alternative to our usual accommodations and we will likely make this a more regular part of our summer’s in Hadley/luzerne. The kitchen, bathrooms, and linens were all very clean. The ceilings throughout were a little cobwebby. Bedrooms were large and had enough room for a pack and play/bassinet Overall the home made for a wonderful weekend with family for our little 5mo old’s first vacation. We will definitely be planning a return trip to the pond house

Interesting

The place was spacious but not sure if the place hadn't been rented out in a while. Bad musty smell. The place could have been aired out in advance. Windows were dirty. Very dusty under tv stand like the floors hadn't been mopped. Had many rules forthe kitchen table. We brought our own table cloth to cover it so there wouldn't be any issues. Other than that the kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes etc.
