Spacious Adirondacks Retreat • 6BR, Heated Pool. Lake Champlain

The house has a lot of character. We enjoyed the amazing artwork, large dining table, pool table, private gym, fire circle & even the carriage step down in front. It is challenging place to have 2 toddlers, however the 6 bedrooms, & 3 bathrooms accommodated our family gathering as described. (Did wish for a tub) We also enjoyed the Amish horse & buggies passing directly by the house. The house was clean & beds were appropriately made up & ready for us. The historical house has a furnace that had not been turned on for the season. The house has a more modern wing which is heated with electric baseboard and space heaters. House was 62 upon our arrival and we struggled to warm it up that first afternoon and night. The owner was responsive to all concerns and questions. However, there was a significant delay in receiving those responses.We found the electric heaters to be sufficient for the remainder of our stay as they had time to warm up the common rooms when kept on continuously. Unfortunately the swimming pool which was a main reason we booked this location, was not accessible to us during our stay. Although the owner had confirmed that he would keep the pool open and heated for us one week longer than typical into the fall, on the day of our arrival he reported to us that a deer had drowned in the pool rendering the pool unusable. While he did offer and provide a 500 refund, the loss of the swimming pool was a big factor in our choosing to leave one day early.

Our extended family had a great time. So much space

Would nvr rent here again .House was extremely musty. Some rooms we would not consider entering because must smell overwhelming. Dining rm chairs seats were all food stained, All cookware had to be cleaned prior to using (dirty or greasy) Pans completely scratched and worn need to be thrown away .Coffee maker and toaster filthy and should be thrown out we would not use them so we purchased coffee at the market, small appliances all dirty and we would not use those either , cooktop dirty ,hood covered in dust , food left in refrig by others , Fly paper hanging in kitchen with dead flies.. Pool not usable as water was cloudy and nvr cleared up. We were told "caretaker" would clean pool daily(that nvr happened) . Cob webs hanging from chandeliers, Overall house was very dirty . House situated across street from a mobile home, rear yard and rear deck were the only good features of house . Overpriced
