House met all our expectations and more. Beautiful home with a big property and direct access to the lake. Will be recommending to friends and family for future getaways

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!

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!
5.0 / 5.0
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 💕💕

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.

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.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

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.

Great home. Perfect for a large group. Loved every minute we spent there
4.0 / 5.0
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.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything about this property is fantastic! A perfect amount of space for 13 adults, with all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was particularly fantastic, and the management team was quite helpful when the weather got rough toward the end of our visit. Would definitely come back again!
3.0 / 5.0
There are some excellent aspects. It was very clean and the beds are comfortable. Reservation and check-in was virtual and worked well. Smores fixins and a bottle of wine were nice welcomes. The home is decorated nicely, especially if you like an Etsy aesthetic. The hot tub was good. The wifi was strong
But the problems are real. There is not a single closet in the entire home - really, not in any bedroom, the kitchen, any bathroom, or foyer. Nowhere. Broom/mop just lie against a wall. There is a coat tree by the front door that gets overwhelmed, so coats have nowhere to go. In the kitchen there is no pantry or a a single wall cabinet. Groceries simply get stored on the kitchen counters - there is nowhere else for them. All the cups, plates and glasses are in floor cabinets, meaning constant bending and searching. Bedrooms do not have chairs and some of the beds are really high (there are step stools). No place to sit or put on shoes. And no place to put all the decorative bed pillow; you just throw them on the floor when sleeping. And the heat is single zone and single controller, so someone was always unhappy.
The main floor is all open, which can work well, but becomes difficult if someone is looking for privacy. We used all the bedrooms, so if you need a quiet space for work or zoom calls there is nowhere good to retreat to.
The separate game house is fun, but not as functional as you'd expect from the photos. All the arcade games and pool table are mini-size, which is OK, but not what we were expecting. Some of the games just don't work well and are mainly for show.
There is not much to do in the area during the winter when we were there. Also, if you are looking for a respite from national politics look elsewhere, as several neighbors are flying flags that include truly offensive language against one party. On the plus side, the small lake (the house is not on Lake George) and dock area look great for summer activities.
I could see giving the home a 4 instead of 3, but one thing was particularly off-putting. Evidently there is local legislation trying to limit VRBOs and similar rentals. The owner is involved in the fight, which is totally understandable. But the owner has placed political lawn signs on the issue around the property, which makes renters feel like they are unwanted interlopers.
Also, the cost is on the high side for this property. So, 3 stars (maybe 4 in the summer).

The location of the property is amazing so we’ll kept comfortable beds extremely clean they provide you with all the things that you might need . Loved the stay very comfortable and relaxing wish we could have stayed a little longer . Just one thing was not very pleasant was that the next doors were mowing all morning we could not sleep well because of the noise otherwise everything was very nice .

Really enjoyed our stay at dockside manor. The property is great, fully stocked (more than we thought), and our family had a great time. If only northern living could have brought us a few more warm, sunny days😜. Despite some uneven weather, we all had a great time and would definitely come back some day. Lake Hadlock is awesome as well. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding.

There were 11 of us and everyone was thoroughly amazed. House is fabulous, kids just loved all the amenities. Can’t say enough and certainly hope to be back.

Dockside Manor is absolutely perfect! The home is beautiful with all the comforts of home. It was well stocked with everything you would need for vacation. The bar/game room was a big hit with everyone, old and young. The deck on Hadlock Pond was awesome! It had kayaks, paddle boards, and life jackets for all. It was a perfect location to view the 4th of July fireworks! Definitely a home we would come back to again!

The home is so thoughtfully designed and appointed from top to bottom. Everything you need for a stay by the lake. Beautiful grass covered, tree shrouded backyard perfectly frames the sunset across the lake. The man cave is amazing. And the dock down by the lake is perfect for lounging, swimming, all that fun stuff. I booked the house for a large group and everyone commented on how great it was throughout the weekend
