Nearby areas to explore: Gore Mountain (about 10 miles away), West Mountain, Oak Mountain, Whiteface Mountain, Hickory Ski Center, Garnet Hill, Coles Woods, North Warren Snowmobile Club, C&C snowmobile Tours, Dynamite Hill Ice Rink, and Adirondack Thunder Hockey are just a few in the area.

Spring/Summer/Fall fun and enjoyment. Hike the trails and mountains nearby, examine the abundance of flowers springing up in the spring and summer, and view the beautiful colors of fall throughout the Adirondacks. I am always amazed each year by the wondrous colors each season has to offer - truly gorgeous!
For Golfers, Cronin's is the place to go (only about 5 miles away). It has a fantastic course and great food! We love their hot dogs! When making your reservation, tell John or Jim (the owners) that Ken and Sue sent you.
Starting in early Spring, Square Eddy Expeditions offers white water rafting. Are you planning on attending a wedding at Friends Lake Inn? Then, staying at Hermanus is just down the road.

The Adirondack-style second-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. and almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed by the living areas: an open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace and 16-18-foot ceilings.
At Hermanus, you may walk the many trails, sit in or by the river, fish, walk across the Hudson (when the water is low), snowshoe (not provided), or sit by the fire pits (two on-site). In addition, there are puzzles, games, internet Wi-Fi, and a 75" Smart TV.
Wish to dine in: the kitchen has almost everything, from major appliances to small appliances and baking supplies. Have your cup of coffee (k-pods or 12 cups) anytime during the day, a toaster, blender, or crockpot. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and knives make preparing meals easy. Ample cupboards and a large refrigerator offer plenty of storage. Paper and cleaning products are provided, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar. If you forgot an item, ask!
The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable reading chair. The adjacent walk-in closet has plenty of hanging space, a washer/dryer, and a small safe for valuables.

The private bath has double sinks and a walk-in shower. The caretakers share additional bathrooms: a full bath (shower) in the heated workshop when you are outside.

This place is amazing. I love the location on the river and the spacious property. I even caught some fish in the river with my boys. Inside had plenty of space and was very clean. My family had such a great time here and were sad to leave. Great proximity to Lake George and many other outdoor adventures. I look forward to coming back
This carriage house with surrounding woods and riverside access was amazing. Although the weather wasn’t too great we enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to return in warmer weather to definitely splash around in the Hudson.
This is a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful access to the outdoors and river. Very clean and spacious accommodations and helpful friendly caretakers.
Highly recommend!
Our family loved our time here. It was exactly the quiet we were looking for, and centrally located for the sites we were wanting to visit- Lake Placid, the High Peaks and Lake George. The hosts were exceptional, offering restaurant and activity suggestions, and made us feel very welcome during our stay.
Perfect stay for our families needs. Ground managers live on property and are very friendly and helpful! Their two dogs were very welcoming of our pup, who loved running free around the property. Hudson lake access and great view. Well equipped kitchen, large TV, and comfortable furniture. Recommend renting a boat from Yankee’s boat rental to explore Lake George (pet friendly) and short hike to Goose Pond for a lovely swim if you go to the Pharaohs lake wilderness area.
The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful location, slightly away from the city, which added to the charm of our stay. Overall, a fantastic experience!
The property is amazing! Everything was well maintained and beautiful. The woods on the property are incredible. This is a one of a kind location. You won't be disappointed with a stay here.
We could not have been happier or more comfortable in this spacious, yet cozy rental home. The property itself is so beautiful and peaceful. We used this as a home base for skiing at nearby (17 min away) Gore Mountain, and it was the perfect place to return to for an evening of relaxation by the fireplace. The hosts and property managers are lovely.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The apartment is beautifully appointed - amazing kitchen and great room - and the neighboring DEC land is fantastic for walking. Our host was great to work with and Susan and John were wonderful. We’ll be back!
The place was very clean and comfortable. The caretaker for the estate is in the apartment next door and was helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. They have two very friendly dogs that would swim in the river with our children. The river and surrounding area is very remote and peaceful.
We were able to bring our big, loveable, fur baby!! This is one of the reasons we chose this property. The property was beautiful and tranquil, which was what we all needed.
Picturesque retreat near Chestertown. Lovely view of the river. John and Sue who live downstairs in the same building made sure we had everything we needed.
Thank you so much
Overall we had a great stay at this place. The property caretakers were friendly helpful. The location can't be beat for it's tranquility. It is remote, so plan on a 25 minute drive if you're heading to Lake George. It's nicely provisioned with everything you'll need to make yourself at home while you are there.
Wonderful and peaceful setting by the Hudson River. House was clean, beds were comfortable and fireplace was great. Caretakers Sue and John very welcoming and our kids had a ton of fun playing with their dog Ruby who has boundless energy and would have retrieved balls all afternoon. Just a top notch experience and we look forward to coming back.
very clean and nicely decorated apartment with all the necessary things for the family. If you decide to visit this property, be sure that you will not regret it.
This was the perfect vacation spot for our 3 teenage grandchildren. They loved it. They thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of walking along the hiking paths or going to the river and just hanging out. When I asked them what their favorite part of our 2 week vacation was they all said Hermanus! And the grandparents agreed. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.
Everyone was so friendly. The area was beautiful with so much to do. The home was exceptionally cleaned and maintained. Not a single person in my group complained about anything. Would definitely recommend the place, and I hope to stay again at some point in the future. Thank you so much!
So much more than we expected.The best of both worlds Camping in luxury. Susan and John were so nice, friendly and accommodating. Our dogs loved playing with Ruby and Pearl. If we needed anything they had it. We wished we were still there. Absolutely going next year staying a week for sure.Thank you, this is just what my family needed.
The property was amazing! The inside exceeded expectations, from decorating to cleanliness. You can tell the host and caretakers take pride in the property. The caretakers were very friendly and attentive. It is close to Lake George for tourist attractions and entertainment. We bought our dog with us and he had a blast playing with the caretakers dogs. Beautiful setup right on the river. Would definitely recommend and go back
