We stayed for a week at Caron Hideaway and my family had a great time. The lake was beautiful, the yard is big and the deck was perfect for hanging out and swimming. Inside is accurate to the description/pictures. My young kids loved a chest there full of toys in the area we subbed the play room and we had lots of fun finding insects to catch and observe outside (and some frogs!). Communication was easy and the handyman was very nice but luckily we didn't need him much.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Caron Hideaway! The house was exactly as advertised, can you cannot beat the patio/pool/view! We did another High Peak during our stay, and the location helped us make it an easy day, with a nice relaxing day afterwards. Glen was very helpful, and even accommodated us a day early as our plans changed, which is great! Thank you again for a relaxing family vacation.

We enjoyed our last minute family vacation at this property. It had amazing views of the mountains and great access to the lake. Like others mentioned, the lake was flooded during our stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the beach as expected but that wasn’t the owners fault. We were still able to fish on the little area available and launch the kayaks and the one paddle board. The listing needs updated as there’s only 2 kayaks and 1 paddle board available. It made us a little uncomfortable getting the kayaks and board out of the abandoned, decrepid building by the lake. There’s really no beach area so much as a launch point for a kayak. The house met our needs for our trip, but it is very old. Bottom line, you must rent this property for the lake access, not the house. The location was incredible. The pool was nice and clean as well. We did appreciate that the house was stocked with essential items like hand soap, trash bags, toilet paper, etc that you don’t always receive with a VRBO. The communication with the owner, Glenn, was great. He provided a lot of information and suggestions before and during our trip. Would rent there again for the right price. Future renters please note there was no Verizon cell service on the property. We had to rely on the WiFi. We had to get our Google map all set up with directions while in the house’s wifi before getting in the car.

We booked the Caron Hideaway for a family vacation. The house is old and dated, but has everything you need and worked great for us. The house is in a great location, close enough to town to access things, yet far enough away to find peace. The views of Willsboro Bay are beautiful. Unfortunately for us, the beach was flooded so we didn't play in the lake, but there is nothing the owner could do about that. We did have the pool, which was great. The handyman on property (Chuck) is very friendly and helpful. The owner (Glenn) was excellent with communication and provided many suggestions on things to do. Definitely go hike the Rattlesnake Mountain Trail - stunning views at the top! Also suggest going to Ausable Chasm. We ate at the Willsboro Diner and recommend it. Would NOT recommend eating at Indian Bay Marina. Overall, we had a great trip and would recommend the property to other families planning a trip to the area.

It’s all about the view and water sports. Such a great location for sitting on the beach and looking at the mountains. Great fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Spent most of our time on the large deck and dunking in the pool. We even enjoyed some pool matches. Thanks for a great vacation.

We were able to travel to upstate NY during peak foliage season to a hideaway in the mountains right on the lake. It was a quiet and tranquil environment with beautiful views of the lake.

We had a wonderful time at Caron Hideaway. We chose this property for the beautiful views and pool, neither of which disappointed. The pool was exceptionally large for an above ground pool and clean. It did need to be filled everyday, but was handled by the property manager, Chuck, who was wonderful to have around. The inside of the house definitely needs some updating. The listing describes the home as rustic, but it really is just outdated. However, the pictures in the listing are accurate so what you see is what you get. We weren't too concerned because we were happy to spend most of our time outdoors on the deck enjoying the views and the beautiful flower gardens, which we really enjoyed. The beach is wonderful but definitely needs to be raked. It did smell a bit by the water which was unappealing but raking it would help allievate that issue. We didn't mind the abandoned houses on the property, however, they are a little spooky. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

We had another great stay at Caron Hideaway. It was our third year here and many more to come. There were many upgrades this year like air conditioning, the new patio furniture, and the cleared landscape. We always enjoy our stay, thank you.

We all enjoyed our stay. Loved all the old houses on the property they had to have been beautiful in their prime. Was nice having the paddle boards & kayaks on the property. Beautiful views & an awesome place for vacation.

We had a wonderful week at Caron Hideaway. The house had a lot of character and the beach was wonderful with lots amenities. The views of the lake and mountains were amazing from the deck.. It was an awesome way to relax and enjoy our time with family and friends. We will have lasting memories to share for a lifetime.. Thank you..

We enjoyed a week of rest and relaxation in a beautiful setting. The views of the lake from the house or deck were spectacular! We had everything we wanted and needed for our stay. Be sure to bring some extra towels for the pool. It was very spacious and we enjoyed the pool table and games provided. This is a great space for a family to have fun and the private beach access is wonderful. There is a great ice cream place and fully stocked grocery store in the town of willsboro about 10 minutes away

This is an older property since it's originally an 1800's farmhouse. If you're looking for all new amenities, keep looking. But if you want a well-cared for place on the lake, it's a quiet and lovely place. The property owner and manager were very responsive.

Great property for a boating vacation on Willsboro Bay! The view and the lake is one of our favorites in the Adirondack Region. See you next year!

We were extremely excited that we thought we had found the perfect location for a family vacation noted by the pictures and the description on the VRBO site, it was expensive but we were lead to believe it was something it was not. We were very disappointed that is not what we found. First the mildew, musty smell was overwhelming. You could see the house and property have been neglected. I know what rustic is, rustic is not dirty. The pool turned out not to be a perk for us. Corner of it is broken and/or caving in. There is no view to the lake due to overgrown brush. The beach was okay, though grasses are growing in it and around it. Steps to beach are a little dangerous really needs a railing of some kind. The bathrooms were clean, but one towel per person for 10 days is really ridiculous. Before cooking and serving our first meal, silverware, dishes, pots and stove needed to be washed. There 5 abandoned buildings located on this property. They are just crumbling away. The deck is spacious and could be awesome but it too is crumbling away. The property is wet from a hose that runs from cellar to the yard, not directed away from the path to walk to the beach. Caron Hideaway needs a through cleaning, everything is covered with a gunky film of dirt, cobwebs and dead bugs, again total neglect.

Caron Hideaway was the perfect size for our family with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There were 6 adults with 2 small dogs. We all enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks, yes the pups were right in the paddle boards with us. Amazing view ALL day and night. Enjoyed the firplace and making smores. We cooked everynight and used the grill too. Went to bed everynight exhausted. Thank you!!

This is such a wonderful place and I would highly recommend it to anyone. We stayed there as a family with our dog and there's more than enough space for everyone even on the rainy days. The lake is beautiful and the private beach is wonderful. This was our second time renting and we look forward to our third next summer. Thank you Glen and Chuck.

I wish my review could be as wonderful as the previous ones. This is my first negative review I’ve ever had to leave all in my years vacationing but didn’t want someone else’s expectations to be something more or another family’s vacation ruined, I’m not a picky person but some things just can’t be overlook especially with the amount of money you spend plus more for the extra people. I wish I took more pictures or could post some because I feel that pictures are worth 1000 words. After driving over 5 hours and arriving after the 4pm check-in we found the house was not as pictured on VRBO. The inside was as described “rustic” but we were mostly there for the deck/pool/lake. First off, the toilet seat wasn’t even attached to the toilet and could not have been easily fixed. It would need a new seat to fit correctly. This could cause a safety issue especially with the younger children we had with us. The deck and pool were not as pictured. There was no canopy set up or nice lounge chairs to sit comfortably by the pool nor where the table and chairs with the umbrella that were shown in the pictures. The pool was dirty. I wouldn’t let my kids swim in that. I understand Mother Nature perhaps delaying the cleaning but by 4pm you expect everything should be ready for the next guests. We did meet Chuck, the maintenance guy (seemed nice) who lives on property but does not have a vehicle had he needed to replace or get something from the hardware store to fix an issue in the house. He also works at the marina full time and said he’d be over the next night after work to do maintenance which is unacceptable to lose a day of swimming in the pool. Not to mention while on vacation to relax and getaway you don’t want someone around the house doing work around the place. We were given 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel & 1 facecloth (all look to be 15 years old and dingy looking) for the week for showering off the lake/pool with no washer/dryer so we’d have to travel 25 mins to nearest laundry mat, again not something you want to be doing on vacation. There was also hoses leading out the bulkhead door to the basement to pump out what I assume was water from maybe flooding, to the side of the house. With the hose going out through the bulkhead that meant the home was not secure, anyone at any time could come through the bulkhead and up through kitchen door that did not have a lock on it. The grounds were not maintained and so over grown that part of the bushes next to the

We just spent 10 wonderfully relaxing days at Caron Hideaway! The property was just as described, a super charming, rustic Adrirondack home with breathtaking views!! My family and I were thrilled with the location and set up of the house, which was spacious and welcoming! We spent many a happy day playing at the pool table- on the rainy days we were thankful for the smart TV, where we could binge our favorite shows, and best of all, the awesome deck and swimming pool! So many wonderful memories made! The view of the bay was stunning whatever the weather, and having access to the private beach and water toys was awesome! We loved exploring the bay on the water bee and kayaks! Glenn was such a great host and made sure to check in with us regularly! Even though we didn’t need any assistance, it was lovely knowing Chuck, the sweet maintenance guy who lives on the grounds, was nearby! The wonderful peace, views and privacy of the house and grounds is an absolute winner! We definitely recommend staying here and would happily return! Thank you Glenn for a fantastic family getaway! 🥰

We spent a very enjoyable and relaxing week at Caron' s hide-away. The rustic four bedroom lakefront house is located on ten landscaped acres with an Olympic size above-ground pool. There are kayaks and paddle boats to use on Lake Champlain. The area is very historic, and there are some excellent restaurants. I would suggest visiting Fort Ticonderoga and the Wind Chill Dairy in Ticonderoga for the best ever homemade ice cream. Chuck the caretakerr is extremely helpful and friendly.

The view and property were incredible! Ours dogs had the time of their lives and the people also had fun. Our family had a very tranquil week away and the house was perfect for a secluded tune away.

This was an amazing getaway! You can not beat the views sitting at the table or from the bedrooms facing the lake. So quiet and peaceful. All of the amenities were exactly as described, it was spacious for our family of 5 and dogs to spread out and really just disconnect. Cell service for our Verizon phones were almost non-existent at the house, but down by the lake or by the entrance it would work. This was great for us as the Wi-Fi in the house kept us connected for emergencies, but forced us to enjoy our time! Glenn was wonderful prior to and during with any needs and Chuck onsite was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area....even if he couldn't get us on the fish! :) We will for sure be back, next time hopefully in the summer when we can enjoy more of the options the property has to offer in the warmer weather.

We decided on a last-minute getaway since we couldn't visit family down south. Being a bit off-season we weren't able to fully enjoy the pool and beach as we would have liked, but the pool table and fireplace made up for that. The location is wonderfully peaceful and we hope to return one day earlier in the season. Pups LOVED the big yard to play in.

Comfortable house in a beautiful spot! We loved swimming in Willsboro bay, hanging out on the large deck, and watching the stars from the beachfront. Glenn was communicative throughout the stay, and Chuck helped us promptly with a couple of small issues. A few more towels would be nice, but overall it is an excellent house in a beautiful location! Look forward to coming back!

Amazing views, so peaceful and lovely... The pool was so much fun for my kids, and the private lake access was amazing! We made great use of the kayaks and other water crafts provided... so much fun! We stayed almost 2 weeks and could have stayed longer for sure. A really cute house to stay in with our kids, and there was even a pool table :) Lots to do at the house and in the area. Would definitely come back. Can't wait!

My parents, husband, 2 children (16 month old and 3 year old) and our 2 family dogs enjoyed a wonderful week at this property. It’s very hard to find a place to accommodate all of us especially because we love bringing our fishing and pontoon boat with us to enjoy the lake. This was a perfect property that suited all of our needs. My kids loved the pool and private beach area with all the water toys. The yard was private which was perfect for our two family dogs to run free. The handy-man Chuck lives on the property and was very nice and made sure we had a wonderful stay. Glenn the owner had wonderful communication. I would recommend anyone to stay at the property, you will have a wonderful time! My family and I can’t wait to stay again next year.

House was very comfortable with enough bedrooms for our family of 6 and dog. The best part was clearly the outdoor space with large deck, grill, pool, access to the lake with water toys (kayaks, stand up paddle boards, water bike and peddle boat). We enjoyed some quiet time as a family.

This is a great rental for families who love to outdoors and run in open fields. We enjoyed our time there greatly!

My family and I were looking for a break from the reality of 2020 to relax and staying at Glenn's property was a great way to do that. There were 8 of us in total and we were comfortable with space and bedrooms. It was hot at the beginning of the week so I would suggest extra fans for travelers, abnormally hot summer! But as the week went on it cooled down and much more manageable. The location and property was amazing, we enjoyed a majority of our time in the pool and the beach area with the paddle boat & kayaks. There was a close golf course so I got out to play as well and we traveled to Vermont one day. Was in communication with Chuck & Glenn during the trip and we had no complaints, everything was clearly stated and we enjoyed this trip as a family! Thank you and I'm sure we will talk again in the future.

We had a great time. The beach and pool combination was wonderful. We brought our dog and she loved the huge yard. We loved having the use of the paddle boards, kayaks, water bike, a peddle boat. The views and sunsets were amazing. We appreciate that the listing was very accurate, we been let down by others in the past. We plan to book again for next summer. Thanks Glen

My family and I (a group of 9) really enjoyed our stay at the Caron Hideaway overall. We especially loved and appreciated all of the outdoor spaces like the pool, deck, and having direct access to the lake. The pool was great for the kids and everyone made good use of the kayaks and paddle boats. The grounds are beautiful and the view of the lake and Adirondacks is pristine. Chuck (Glenn's handyman who also lives in another home on the property) was also incredibly helpful and friendly and shared great insights about the area and the lake. We enjoyed chatting with him. The house is as pictured - old, rustic, and spacious enough for our group. Since we were a group of 9, the temperature of the house was very warm, even with the fans and windows open (often 80 degrees plus). It would have been nice to have access to portable AC units in the bedrooms or at least in the living room area. Other than that, access to a dishwasher and washer/drier unit would have been helpful for our large group as well. Glenn is also communicative and informative throughout the booking/trip experience. For the price, the area, and the excellent outdoor space, it was a good fit for our group for the week.

We spent 5 days at this property and had a wonderful time. The outside amenities and location make this place a gem. Willsboro Bay is calm and private. The private beach was huge and offered many toys to play in the water with. The pool & deck offered the perfect reprieve when the sun became too much for the lake. Three generations enjoyed this home. It offers something for everyone and plenty of space.
