We had a fantastic time! House was very clean and cozy and had everything you could need. Richard greeted us on arrival and showed us where everything was, as well as letting us know all the things going on in town as well as tips for other things to do in the area. The pool and fire pit was great, so many games for the kids. The sound of the running Creek was serene. We had a wonderful week!

Everything about the site was as reviewwed and advertised. It's a pretty setting and the house was nice. The problem with this property is that I was charged fees by the owner for amenities (pool and hot tub). These fees were not noted in the rental contract. The owner requested cash for these fees at check-in. I've been advised to file in small claims court as this is illegal.Vrbo was not helpful at all. I recommend. Read up on reviews on vrbo, not here but look at consumer protection sites like the better business bureau - those are the sites which warn vulnerable consumers. Vrbo has gone way downhill since joining expedia and after 10 years of renting from them I am done.

amazing get away with breathtaking surroundings. great place to disconnect from the craziness of life and reconnect with family and friends. lots of family games on the property to engage the whole gang. very clean: everything to cook and gill that you need! outside covered patio family favorite for meals. This is by far our families favorite VRBO ever!

This was an enjoyable stay, it feels very out of the way the first time you find it, but easy to get to things once you get your bearings. Big, roomy house made the stay comfortable. Richard was A+ with communication and made sure we were well informed and made it easy to contact him if we needed anything at all. We would stay here again.

Richard the owner was very nice. His house was clean and roomy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had nice appliances , dishes , pots and pans. Richard was very accommodating as far as check in and check out. It was not quite as advertised as the Hot Tub is not able to be used in the winter months ,this was unfortunate as that was one of the reasons we booked it ....

We went up for a relaxing weekend and it was delivered! We enjoyed the house, the pool, the large fire pit, and the surprisingly bug free back yard. Rich was very nice and checked in to make sure we were doing well. Definitely recommend if a relaxing stay is needed!

We had a great time staying in this VERY quiet location. The house has EVERYTHING you need- dishes, soaps, towels, flashlights... etc. Richard gave us a gift certificate to the little store/Cafe down the street and we got a really nice discount on our breakfast. The Inn (bar) down the street was within walking distance and the staff was friendly. Wifi was strong and worked perfectly when we had to use it for making calls (no cell reception). Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate so we couldn't use the outdoor spaces as much as we would've liked but everything was in ready to use condition and it was clean.

We came from long island and Richard was nice and let us check in early. The house overall is nice. Great back yard. We will definitely go back

We had such a great getaway. Rich was great and can’t say enough….. very comfy and cozy

We were a group of 8 and had more than enough room. The photos really do not do the place justice. The listing is accurate with the number of rooms & beds. Everything was clean and spotless when we arrived. The bathrooms were clean and everything worked. Plenty of towels and closet space to store luggage. Richard was a wonderful host, had us call when we were arriving so he could direct us a better way than the GPS (take his advice — half the group didn’t and ended up on a long windy road) and stopped by a few times to make sure we were all set. The house has everything you need — pool with a lounging area, hot tub, covered tent for outdoor seating, a HUGE firepit, grill & grilling accessories, volleyball/badminton set up, a closet full of outdoor games like cornhole, sports balls, and more. The kitchen was wiped clean before we arrived but had everything you’d need to cook and even bake (just bring the ingredients). One day of our stay got totally rained out but we were plenty entertained with everything Richard had at his accommodation. It felt like the best combination of summer camp and the privacy of your own home. We shared photos with our friends & family and they were all blown away by how nice it was — they even asked if they could have the property information for their own vacations. 30 minute drive to Lake George Village wasn’t too bad, and there’s plenty of parking in the village and at the house for large groups. There is a bar within walking distance, but unfortunately due to Covid it was closed. I highly recommend and am definitely keeping it bookmarked for the future!

When we first arrived Richard was there to great us and show us around and make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. From coffee and creamer to wood and kindling for the fire. Plenty of towels for our 2 family's equalling 9 people for showers and the pool. He made sure to have the hot tub filled with fresh water hot and ready for us 4 adults to relax in after along day exploring with the kids. The kids spent hours in the pool splashing around and having loads of fun and enough floats for everyone. The outside fire pit is absolutely beautiful with the creek running behind it and plenty of seating for everyone. The kids enjoyed the outside toys he has available. Overall our stay was wonderful, relaxing and worry free. We will definitely be back for future fun.

Richard is a super friendly and accommodating host. House and property are well maintained and is fully stocked with clean towels, linens and every kitchen accessory needed cook for an army. He even provided coffee and creamer which I thought was a nice touch. The location is great - very close to Gore, as well as some great Adirondack hiking. Will definitely look to book this house again for future ski trips. Thanks Richard!

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we have had!The owner was very polite and had everything ready when we arrived. He walked us through the house and backyard and showed us where everything was. He had coffee, sugar, and creamer available for early morning risers who like coffee first thing!The house was homey and a nice backyard with a fire pit, grill, hot tub, and screen house that we were able to enjoy.This is definitely a place we will visit again!

We went there on Friday, from New York City, and took reached at little late at night. But Richard was very helpful and supportive in the whole checkin process. He even guided us for the best route possible to get there. (GPS was giving different exit) He then gave us the tour of the property, which was very nice of him, considering we reached so late. The property has 3 bedrooms, living room has nice pullout bed. The main attraction of the property was the Backyard. It has everything you would need for perfect family time. Fire pit(Unlimited wood available), closed sitting area in case you want shade, hot tub, gas grill, and a pool(not functioning due to COVID) . Richard has a lot of games(Volleyball, basketball, football, badminton etc),basketball net installed in the parking area. The kitchen is fully equipped and guests can use all utensils and grill equipments, disposable plates, cups etc. Huge dining table in the kitchen area is also useful for dinner and lunches. Lot of towels and sheets also available. The property was clean and well maintained. In Case you need any help, Richard lives next door. You can just walk up to him or call him. Incredibly safe locality, the town has 600 people and everyone knows each other, and no one bothers the guests at all. We were out chilling in the backyard all night and no one complained. Lake George and boat rentals l(many of them) are just 20-25 mins drive from the place, which was perfect. Thank you Richard! Would definitely recommend or re-visit!

The house has everything you need to enjoy a weekend getaway with family. We are a family of 12, 6 adults and 6 kids slept comfortably. At night we enjoyed sitting near the fire pit making s’mores, listening to music. We also enjoyed afternoon out and about Lake George, about 30 minutes away. If the pool was up and running, we probably would have never left the house. Thank you Richard again for your hospitality!

The Stony Brook retreat was a great home. Plenty of room for my family. The backyard and the pool are amazing. The owner is very personable. I would definitely go back. 5 stars

The house is nice, it has everything you will need and then some. We really enjoyed there.

This was the 2nd time my family and I rented this property and we were all so happy we decided to come back. The house is very clean, well maintained and Richard was very warm and welcoming. The kids enjoyed the pool and played with the various games he had available for them in the yard while the grown ups sat by the fire pit and enjoyed some drinks and grilling. Richard was kind enough to recommend things we could do around town and told us about the Rodeo nearby. That was the best BBQ we've ever had! The last night we sat at the bar across the street and enjoyed the live band which was really, really good! We look forward to returning a 3rd time! Till next time Richard, thanks for having us!! :-)

A nice little out of the way town for a break from every day life. Perfect location for day trips into Lake George. Richard was a great host. My son loved the pool and all the toys provided. We will definitely be going back.

We were four generations vacationing together and we all enjoyed it. There was plenty of room in the house for all of us and so much room outside. We spent a lot of time at the pool each day with all the pool toys provided by Richard. We used the gas grill to cook our dinners and the screened in gazebo to eat our meals. There were also many outdoor toys provided to keep the children busy. At night enjoyed the wonderful fire pit to roast marshmallows. We even spent indoor time putting a 500 piece puzzle together. The stay was so enjoyable that we really didn’t want to leave.

We went to Stony Creek for a three-generation family vacation. The house was roomy enough to spread out, yet able to accommodate our group of nine so that we could all be together. We all enjoyed the pool, fire pit, games and gazebo as we spent time outside. The local area has some great hiking trails and popular destinations are just a short drive away. Richard was a wonderful host that offered suggestions to help make our vacation the best it could be. If we return to that area, we would look forward to staying at Stony Creek Retreat again. Cathy

So glad we found this spot! Richard was super friendly and hospitable. The house was very clean, cozy and fit our family of ten comfortably. Our kids had a great time at the pool and also enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the fire at night. Supermarkets and other shops were only a few minutes away and Lake George Village was about 25-30 minutes away but an easy and beautiful drive. Would definitely come back here!!! Thank you for having us Richard!!!

First, let me say that Richard is fantastic! Coffee and milk there waiting, fresh flowers on the dining table. Clean facility, great pool, and he’s just so friendly! We loved our stay and are already planning when we can come back!!

Great bday weekend! Thanks rich for everything. Cant complain about this place. Saved a lot of money on food. Kitchen have everything a family needs. A.c,pool,grill what more can I ask for. Also the place is clean. Highly recommend. I'll be back rich take care!

We had a very nice time staying here. There were 6 of us up for a softball tournament and the owner Richard was very accommodating and truly cared about our stay. The creek out back is very peaceful. The firepit is phenomenal. Screened in patio is fantastic for meals and hanging out. The house is very comfortable, roomy and has everything you need. The town is quiet but very hospitable. Great time! Thanks Richard!!

We had a great time on our vacation in the Lake George area, Richard is an amazing host. This house is exactly what he says in the description. It’s neat clean and nice. Richard meets you at the door when you arrive gives you the tour, tells you a bit of history on stony creek, and tells you a few things to do. Richard makes you feel like his guest not just a renter of a property. Richard is just a genuine nice guy that treats you like a friend not a customer, that was very refreshing in this transactional world it’s nice to see someone that does business with a smile and a handshake. Richard’s house is great and located in a serene little town that lets you get away from it all. Yet all the attractions that brought you to the area are 15 to 30 minutes away giving you the best of both worlds. We had a great time on our vacation and a lot of that is based on where we stayed. I was nice to have our own home to go back to not just a room somewhere. Cooking burgers and dogs on the grill, eating in the screen house, taking a dip in the pool, or checking out a movie on Netflix you get it all here. Thanks Richard!!!

We had a great time! We arrived later in the day than we had anticipated and Richard was waiting for us. The kitchen was stocked with supplies for coffee in the morning - what a treat. The boys had fun swimming, fishing, riding bikes, and playing at the park down the road. Richard was available and made sure we had everything we needed. There is an amazing place for breakfast just around the corner. In addition there is the Inn and a Tavern with great food, and everyone is so friendly. At night listening to the creek and sitting by the fire pit was relaxing and serene. A great place for a relaxing get away. Our boys (11 and 14) started talking about when can we return again before we’d even left.

Great place overall. Stony Creek is a quiet little place with the nicest people around. The house is very clean and comfortable. We were there on a motorcycle trip so we didn't get to use the pool but it looked awesome. The fire pit and screened in room was great - with the brook running right beside it. Richard was an awesome host - he even had coffee and creamer available. There is a little store 500 feet away that serves an excellent breakfast. The Inn and Tavern 16 are within walking distance as well and we had a great time at both places. We would definitely go back here again and will be telling all our friends about it.

The owner Richard was an amazing host!!!! We did not want to leave. My family has been renting vacation homes at least once a year for the last five years and this is by far the best one yet. The house is in a friendly little town located just 30 minutes from lake George and Saratoga springs. Lots of things to do in and out of town :) The house is very well equipped with everything you may need from towels, blankets, extra mattress , house hold supplies and kitchen ware. The house is very specious and our group of ten was very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and all the pool toys. We took advantage of all the things he has for the kids Badminton, lacrosse, frisbee Water guns, basketball hoop We have four boys 12-16in our group And they always had things to do. The fire pit was a great end to end each night :) The sound of the creek running to the back yard was an added plus to out you right to sleep at the end of a fun day. We recommend this home to anyone! We will for sure be back !!!!!

Booked this location for 3 nights and was not disappointed. Bigger than it looks in the pics. 3 LARGE bedrooms with 6 beds, along with a fold-out futon and 2 comfy couches, 2 bathrooms, enclosed front and back porch. Everything we needed for our stay, full kitchen and linens, grill, burn pit w wood, screened enclosure. Could hear the creek running out back at night. Very new and clean. 20 minute drive to the Lake George area, 15 minutes to a large grocery store, very scenic everywhere. The owner met us on arrival and stopped by everyday to see if there were any issues, very hands-on. A bar/restaurant literally across the street, full extensive menu for lunch and dinner. A small breakfast place around the corner................be very hungry if you order the pancakes, just sayin'. Would definitely stay here again.
