Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 5.0
Great location for walking into town Game room for kids is a plus. Able to get lots of heads in beds for larger groups. Four parking spaces on property is a plus. Ground floor bathroom could use a fan and better door lock. Kitchen is small for number of people able to stay at house. More living room and dining table seating would be better. Third shower in separate game room is awkward. Would prefer more privacy in backyard for dining/ fire pit gatherings
2.0 / 5.0
The yard was unkempt with long grass and lots of very long and thick weeds.
There were flying bats in the house, which happened after two nights. Called the guest service contact person. We shut the bedroom door where he was flying and sealed it with tape and towels. It flew around in that room for most of the night. Two of our family members left as the room was inhabitable. My grandkids went out to the outer game room to sleep in chairs. The guest contact person had a maintenance man come out the next morning and he was able to catch one bat which was hanging in the kitchen and apparently sleeping. He said that other was nowhere to be found and left.
We spent one more night there and heard the bat flying in the still sealed room. We checked out the next morning as scheduled. Both the guest service contact person and Evolve made it seem like it was normal for wildlife to be in and around the house. I don't think so. I have had coyote, fox, skunks and wild turkeys in my wooded back yard area but I wouldn't think it would be ok for them to be in my house. We thought we would get back half of our EXPENSIVE stay as two of our four nights were spent with an unwelcome bat house guest. Nope - not happening.

We rented this for a family wedding in Lake George. It was the best location possible for all the planned events on top of the close proximity to Lake George's Town shops, parks, restaurants, etc. we loved the game room for something fun to do and hang out. Wonderful communication with the management as well.
5.0 / 5.0
My family of 6 adults & 4 children under 6 greatly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean & bright with plenty of room for the little ones to run around. The beds were so comfortable, the kids were thrilled with the bunk room. Outside space was well equipped with a grill, fire pit, picnic table with plenty of seating. Having a pack & play and high chair available was a very considerate convenience! Now...the game room!!! Seriously what a fun perk to this rental!! The huge TV with game console, comfy reclining sofas, fridge, sink, full bath with shower were all great amenities but the air hockey & shuffleboard games were so much fun for the adults and kids together!! Cannot forget to give credit to Matt, the maintenence person, who we had to call after midnight one night; he arrived within minutes, to help us successfully get rid of a surprise visitor - a bat!
Wonderful family memories were made! I would love to return again someday!
4.0 / 5.0
Overall we were delighted with our rental. Super great location. The house is huge and very comfortable with 5 bedrooms. The game room was so cool and functioned like another apartment with a full bathroom/shower and a kitchen (minus the stove). Some areas that could have been better were as follows: Toilet in the main house were not great for flushing and with only one plunger, that made for some trouble. I think we were the first rental of the season so tv remotes were all dead. The cleaning crew could have done a better job. Don’t let these areas that need improvement stop you from renting here. I would definitely rent here again. Great rental overall.
5.0 / 5.0
There was plenty of room for all six of us. The game room was fantastic! No time to be bored in this place. Not only is the house very accommodating, but you are down the street from all the action. Being that close to the activities, I thought we would have an issue with noise however, this place is perfectly located. When we were home, I was peaceful and quiet.
4.0 / 5.0
Pros:
Location - parking is extremely limited and this house is very walkable to restaurants and attractions
Game room was fun for kids
5 bedrooms
Fantastic water pressure
Quick response from management when we asked questions
New refrigerator with craft ice cubes
Cons:
Older home
Door lock was a challenge when it was sunny
Had to buy our own toilet paper after a couple of starter rolls (not mentioned in description or welcome)
Surface clean, but not super clean
Small kitchen and dining table only seats 4
Overall, if location is a key factor, this is a great house! If you are looking for comfort or an upscale experience, it might not be the right place.

We had a family wedding near Lake George so we decided to stay a few days and extend our trip. We enjoyed having queen bedrooms for all the couples and the bunk beds worked perfect for the kids. The fire pit and game room during the evenings was a hit! It was nice to be able to walk to dinner in town, to the marina where we rented a pontoon boat, and taking a cruise on the Minnie Ha-Ha as well as the many arcades in town. It was only a short drive from Walgreens where we picked up a few forgotten items and about 30 minutes to a family friendly hike called Shelving Rock Falls area. Really enjoyed our stay with our family!
5.0 / 5.0
We loved that we were able to walk to everything! Game room was a big hit. Beds was comfortable and house was clean. Grill was clean and in working order. Great fire pit too! Only thing that we found lacking was a pitcher (to make lemonade). We would definitely rent this house again.
5.0 / 5.0
The location is perfect for walking to all the restaurants/bars/shops/etc. Once we parked the cars upon arrival, we didn’t move them until it was time to leave. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place for a getaway. Location was perfect. Highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect for our group of 9 adults for long weekend. We had a great time walking into town for Octoberfest activities, to ADK brewery for dinner, and to lake front. We also had great location to visit Gore Mountain and Brant Lake for hiking. The game room was a great way to spend our after dinner time!
The shower leaked through ceiling but Melissa responded with a handyman within 15 minutes and got it fixed.
We would love to stay here again! Great spot!!

Couldn’t get televisions to work in upstairs bedrooms- could of been user error! Fit 8 well. Game room is a great benefit. Short walk to everything.
