The lower level (garage level) of the home has two bedrooms - one with a queen-sized bed and one with a double. Both of these rooms have a view of Gore Mountain in the winter. This level has a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, as well as a laundry closet with a full-size washer and dryer.
The primary suite is on the main level and boasts a luxe king-sized bed, a cozy seating nook, and a private ensuite bathroom with a relaxing soaking tub and a walk-in shower. There is also a half bath located off the main living area on this level.
The upper-level loft houses four twin-sized beds, plus another private bedroom with two double beds.
☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆
The open concept on the main floor makes it easy to hang out as one large group. The full kitchen is sure to please the designated chef of your group, with sleek granite countertops, modern stainless steel appliances, and all the basic cookware to whip up your favorite meals. There is even an extra beverage refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. There is bar seating available at the kitchen counter for three, plus a large dining table with seating for 10-12.
The cozy living room space is flanked by a wall of two-story windows, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful views of the nature that surrounds the cabin. This area is perfect for relaxing after a long day, so make yourselves at home as you curl up on one of the comfy sofas and stream your favorite shows on the flat-screen Smart TV. You could also borrow a book, puzzle, or board game from our collection! The large stone fireplace is perfect for warming up the cabin during chilly winter evenings.

Guest Access:
Guests will have private access to the entire property, including the stunning outside space, full kitchen, bedrooms, and laundry facilities. Please make yourself at home! Because this is a mountain, regional cell phone service and internet service can be spotty. AT&T and Verizon work best. Wifi is available as high-speed DSL only up to 105 Mbps.
Please remember you are staying in our home, not a hotel. Treat our house with respect. If any problems arise we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living on-site 24/7.
Free parking is available in the heated garage and driveway. Please note that the property is off a town-maintained gravel road and has a gravel private driveway. While both the town and we make every attempt to keep it plowed, sanded, and salted in the winter, snow squalls are common and can quickly cover the drive and road making them slippery. Use of at least one four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended in the winter. Cars can be parked in the lower part of the driveway as long as the driveway is passable.
The gas grill and outdoor fire pit may not be available during the winter months, typically November to April. Please inquire.
House rules acknowledgment, a list of guests, and a copy of the renter's photo id may be required upon booking. In addition, all pets must be approved by the host prior to your stay.
Please pay attention to the cancellation policy. We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance to protect your trip in the event of an unforeseen cancellation. It is inexpensive and protects your vacation investment.

Our family came to the Adirondacks to experience the 2024 eclipse. This top notch home made our weekend amazing. The amenities are terrific; everything that we needed was at our fingertips. A very clean home that was beautifully appointed. The deck adds to the outdoor experience for star gazing. We would highly recommend this home to others looking to have a special family time!

The home and property are absolutely fantastic! We decided to take a very quick, last minute trip consisting of 3 adults and 10 children. So thankful to have decided on this property! Beautiful view of the mountains; the house is a *perfect* mountain home with enough space for a small crowd & has all the things you need to carry on as if you were at home 💗; even the road is a refreshing getaway itself...I could go on and on about how wonderful it was! On top of that, Gale was a terrific host and an excellent communicator! Would highly recommend staying at this stunning getaway!

Our ski group had a great stay at Gale and Tom’s property! Conveniently located to Gore Mountain, local restaurants. The home itself is beautiful, kitchen has all that you need to prepare meals at the home. Gale was very responsive and kind leading up, throughout and following our stay. We would definitely stay again!

The house is on a beautiful piece of property, and the house was great - two spacious living rooms made it great for adults and kids to both have their own spaces, but also to spend time together. All in all, a wonderful stay!

We gathered at the lodge to celebrate Easter. Even though we had some chilly weather and flurries, the lodge was a great base for all our adventures and we were able to come home and warm up in front of the hearth. Plenty of space indoors and out for kids to play.
10.0
Great lodge-type house very convenient to Gore, just a couple minute drive to Gore. Modern interior, great living area with big windows and a view of Gore Peak! Everything you need. Unless you want the Ritz-Carlton, you will find it hard to find anything to complain about here. Very close to Gas / convenience and Basil and Wick's restaurant. Wi-Fi not the greatest but hey, you are in the mountains, and are supposed to be skiing anyway. Also, bring your 4 wheel or all wheel drive for the driveway in the winter. Other than that this place is awesome, hope to be back. Owner great to work with and helpful.

The house is beautiful! It is secluded enough for some privacy but just a good drive from fun activities with family and friends! The homeowner, Gale, was always quick to answer any questions we had before during and after our trip. I would highly recommend this home to a family or larger group of people looking to get away!

My family from Ottawa Canada and New York city met at the Cottage. Had lots of rooms with 3 bathrooms and a huge kitchen. One rainy day we watch movie with my 5 Grandkids.
We went to 6 Flags park and had a Blast. Then we went to 2 different beaches and had a great time in the water and just having fun with our family. This cottage is a great place in the woods. Had a great fire pit so at night we sat around telling jokes and stories. Highly recommend this cottage for a big family. Lots of space and beds. The housekeeping was great when we came I n.
Thank-you Gale.

It was the perfect cabin for our group of 11. We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It has a good mix of Adirondack style with modern amenities. There was plenty of room for sleeping, cooking, eating, playing games and just hanging out!! Gale made everything extremely easy and we had no problems all weekend.

The owner was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions about what to do and where to go in the area. This was a family vacation with adult children and we made alot of good memories. We were close to Lake George and enjoyed the town and boating on the lake.

Three families shared this beautiful Adirondack home over part of the President's Day weekend. We found the home clean, spacious and well stocked. Gore Mountain is only a few miles away, and one ski run is even visible from the living room window!!! We found the ski resort very family-friendly and our children had a wonderful time. Grocery Store and wine store are about 1 mile away also !!!We are from Canada, and the yard was large enough, and snow plentiful enough, for them to leave behind a self-constructed igloo. The home is beautifully nestled in the woods. Gale and Tom were wonderful to work with and responded to our every need and questions in a timely manner. Beds were comfortable save two of the 4 single beds in the upstairs loft area. Sufficient bathroom and bedroom space as well as spacious garage to use. Our mini van was unable to make it up the hill one of the days due to freezing rain, however, we were able to manage easily, as there is also parking half way up the driveway closer to the bottom of the hill.We would absolutely consider returning to this rental property (VRBO).
