If the internet was working and there wasn’t all the flies in the downstairs bathroom it would have been great.

Nice location. Quiet. Away from the main towns but within a short driving distance to most locations. Adequate space for large families.

This house was perfect for our big family ski trip. We traveled with my elderly parents who were thrilled to have a bedroom on the main floor. Upstairs are lots of beds for all the skiers! There is plenty of dining space for everyone to eat. We even brought our dog who was very comfortable here and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the big field. During our stay we attempted to use the grill for hamburgers but couldn't get it to work. Glenda sent someone over that night to look at it and even brought a new grill over the next day. We had a great time and definitely would return again.

We had a group of teenage boys and parents for the weekend, skiiny at Gore Mountain. The house was large enough to fit all of us and provided everything we needed. Glenda was a great communicator and we felt at home at the property. Plus Gore was only 25 minutes away. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

We found everything to be as listed in the description. It was buggy outside but that is to be expected in the Adirondacks at the end of July.

The farm house was nice and clean
Lots of rooms.
We had an issue with the pool and was taking care within 15 minutes of contacting them.
On the minus side the mattresses was not very comfortable, one of the stairs case was very very steep and narrow
And the caveman was disappointing.
Overall good place

We were 15 people who were celebrating our parents 80th.
We did a scavenger hunt in Lake George, had a birthday bbq with other local family. We did some putt putt and lots of swimming in the pool, can jam and spike ball.
We also cruised around looking for swimming holes.
10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed the roominess of the house and the multiple bedrooms. The swimming pool and pool table were hits. There was a plugged up sink, which we reported, and it was taken care of the same day. This was the 3rd time we used this house because of the number of bedrooms and pet policy. (We had 12 people in 3 generations.)

It is a beautiful setting outside with the exception of an old boat and burnt out camper out back. The family had a good time playing in the snow, building forts and a snowman. Unfortunately, inside, dust was in many places but worst was mouse droppings in pots and pans, utensils and dishes, lots of dead flies in ceiling lights, broken window blinds and black mold in bathtubs and behind the toilets. Back stairway light didn't work. Washer/dryer was out of order. A newer washer was placed under a stairwell where we needed to hook up the water and replace leaking hoses. The dryer was on an outside back porch (winter time). Some outlets need replacing. One closet the back wall was wet from a leaky roof making one blanket wet. Beds could be upgraded. The hot water in the main floor bathroom sink would not turn off completely and there is an extra sink in the dinning area that kept dripping the whole time, we texted the owner and with no repair by the owner. A pool table is a good place for a “man cave” however, the bumpers on all sides are broken so when trying to play, the balls go up and over the edge. How about broken boards in the wall, near the floor. The owner stated that she was also having problems with her phone.

The well appointed house is very nicely decorated and comfortable. There was ample room for our group to sit around the large table for breakfast and late night snacks. It is a short distance to Lake George, Glens Falls and Warrensburg.

We loved our stay and the owners were quick to respond to anything we needed. Beds could be upgrade for comfort but overall it a great place. Love the yard and man cave. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for a great weekend

Our family had a wonderful time at your property. We especially enjoyed the pool and the fire pit.

It was an awesome spot but the driveway is a shared road so in the parking directions this should be noted. We also got a noise complaint in the middle of the day because we were playing yard games. Though is was funny with a police officer showing up at a bachelorette so it made a story. Listing should note there are 2 other properties on the 70 acres. Bed mattresses could be updated. The listing should note the pool table area is in a separate barn. Overall, a great experience and lovely weekend!

Athol's Farm House
We loved the old farmhouse, especially the front porch!! The yard was large and great for the kids and games. We had a few glitches at first, but a text to Glenda and things were resolved. We were about 30minutes away from Lake George and the activities that we did. A wonderful time. Thank you --The Campbell's

Country home away from home
We had a great time in this country home. Very comfortable and clean. We loved the pool and the man cave and that the yard was big enough for the kids to run around in and play ball. In between outings! Our only complaint was spotty WiFi, but we were on vacation so no big deal!

Disappointed Family Vacation
My family choose this property because we were looking for a private quiet place. The property is listed as a 200 year old farmhouse on 70 acres of private land. When we arrived we found a single key in the middle of the table with no phone numbers of anyone we could contact. At first sight it seemed quaint. We were looking forward to enjoying the pool & the mancave which was listed as a favorite. The pool was clean. The mancave was unusable, pool table was in very bad shape with ripped felt and missing a pocket for the balls to go into but they put a bucket to catch the balls. The floor was in very bad shape where it sunk in spots enough to make the pool table unusable. The mowed part of the property had broken water bottles, garbage in the fire pit from past renters. We found dirty underwear near the pool among other debris. The house was very dusty. We had a family member in our small group who is a fireman & he checked all smoke detectors. Some were without batteries & some not hooked up. My husband and I took the upstairs bedroom which was bigger than the other bedrooms with a couch so we could relax and read in the evening. The couch was full of pet hair and the comforter we had to put away because it had spots on it. We had to go out and buy mouse traps due to the fact that our first dinner there we were greeted by a mouse that fell onto the stove during the day. We also had a rather cold night and the temperature reached 59 degrees in the house. No HEAT. You would think that a advertised private setting would be private; not so, there are two rather rundown trailers very close to the house & they share your driveway. The final straw; looked forward to having a fire with the kids during the week. We tried 2 times and on both occasions we had to go in the house because there were loose dogs that came over and scared the kids. The owner claims she doesn't know who they belong to but we saw 2 of them in one of the trailers and the large dog at the other trailer. So if your looking for that private well maintained place to stay this wouldn't be for you. Also the pictures in the advertisement are from June of 2013. We reached out to the owner and felt we deserved a partial refund and the owner replied with NO REFUND of any sort. Lots of money spent for the week and walked away feeling like we got ripped off. Will not return to this property or any of their other properties.

Amazing!!! The house is perfect for family vacation
The house is perfect for family vacation, the kids have a lot fun. I love the rustic space and we can enjoy the natural environment!!!

The house is in a good location, all the top points of interest around Lake George are about a half hour away. The house was well suited for adults and children. We had a fire every night and the kids enjoyed the barn, Man Cave. The house was large enough that we weren't on top of each other. There could always be improvements but nothing was bad. Cell service is very limited but it's the area.Constructive criticism: it would be nice if the WIFI password was written down, just easier to read and find. Also, general instructions for the remote. We did figure out both but it just would of been easier if readily available . I would recommend if you are staying there to bring a radio if you are out by the fire. The WIFI is slow so music did come and go. Overall, we all had a lot of fun and that makes a nice vacation!

great for big family
The house was well suited for a big family (9 of us), large and roomy allowing us to spread out. The pool was great and enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. The setting was beautiful and the neighbors were friendly. The house was really clean but definitely needs some TLC. It has a great rustic feel but some things are run down and old. The dryer was not working, the downstairs bathroom was leaking and while we could connect to the wifi (There is no cell signal, which we expected), we could not access the internet and communicate via cell till we got to Warrensburg. Another frustration was the lack of response of owners to messages. although they did pass by the house on a couple of occasions, messages were never answered. All in all, we had a great vacation and enjoyed our time at the house.

Great house with a great host!
The house was large and comfortable for our group. No cell service in the area but we expected and didn’t really mind. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this house.
A few nits...A lot of decorations so we had to move some to the side in order to utilize the space. Ground level bathroom faucet was flipped between hot and cold water...so hot water comes out of the faucet that says cold.

The property was better than I expected it to be. The house was beautiful.
I loved the house and the property. It was more then I expected. There was more then enough room for my family. The pool area was so beautiful and we had so much fun there. The Fire Pit and area around it was soooo spacious. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful place for any occasion. I hope to rent it next year for my family reunion. Had the most wonderful time.

Great place for a family reunion.
This was the second time we used the house for a family reunion with 12 people, including 4 young children who enjoyed the pool and spacious yard. We also had another adult and two children during the days. All is very cleaned and well cared for. Our family loved it.

Amazing hospitality
We stayed here for 3 days. It was an amazing experience. The owner Glenda is an awesome host. The house was decent and pretty clean. We were 15 people, had enough space for all of us. There was enough supplies in the kitchen, rooms and in all the bathrooms. The attraction places are not very far from the house. The wild water river rafting is only 10 minutes away. Hence, a lot of traveling time was saved. Overall it was an extraordinary stay. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.
