Waterfront Retreat on Mini "Golden Pond" 10 Miles Lake George

TRANQUIL RETREAT -Three bedroom home situated on a mini 'On Golden Pond'. Only three other homes on the privately owned 10 acre pond. Paddleboat or kayaks- all available onsite to navigate the crystal clear water. Located on the dammed end of the pond, you'll be serenaded by the sound of water running over the dam into the creek below. Also, only a 1/4 mile to Lake Luzerne public beach. The Gazebo, gas grill, patio, dock, picnic table, hammock, outdoor fire pit and Adirondack chairs make it the perfect setting to kick back or to entertain.

And inside, (if you ever go in): The house is fully furnished, with a living room, bedroom, large full bathroom with washer and dryer, kitchen and dining room on the first floor. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator, electric stove/oven, coffee maker, microwave and toaster. There is a large window in the kitchen with a beautiful view of the pond to inspire you while you cook. The large dining room table can seat up to 8 people. The other two bedrooms are on the second floor; both have windows overlooking the water. All bedrooms accommodate up to two people. Linens and garbage service are provided. Internet access included.

DAY/NIGHT LIFE -
SARATOGA SPRINGS: About 20 minutes into the quaint town of Saratoga Springs, for shopping, Saratoga Performing Arts Center (many summertime concerts, orchestra, and ballet), Saratoga flat track, Saratoga Polo Club, Saratoga Harness Track, and the new Saratoga Gaming Casino. Close enough, yet far away from New Year's Eve celebrations.

LAKE LUZERNE: About 1/4 mile walk to Lake Luzerne and public beach. Free summer outdoor concerts in the pavilion overlooking Lake Luzerne. Up over the hill to Hadley/Luzerne public school with access to playground. Short walk to town of Lake Luzerne with public library, market, town basketball and tennis courts, UpRiver restaurant, and white water rafting excursion trips. 9 hole golf course - Bend of the River in Hadley (less than five miles away). Approximately three miles from Warren County snowmobile trails; less than 30 minutes from West mountain for skiing. Ice Skate right outside our door (when the pond ice allows), or on nearby Lake Luzerne.

LAKE GEORGE: Approximately 10 miles from our vacation rental! Lake George activities include Six Flags Great Escape Theme Park and Splash Water Kingdom, and indoor water park. Historic Fort William Henry and Lake George Battlefield Park, Prospect Mountain with the 100 mile view that overlooks Lake George. Lake George village boasts outlet shopping, Lake George Steamboat Cruises, nightclubs, arcades, restaurants, horseback riding, mini golf, and fireworks every Thursday night over the lake. Great place to stay for Lake George Winter Carnival and Lake George Forum events.

Such a beautiful property. This was our second time staying at this property. We love the area and the house is such a central location to Lake George and other areas. Our favorite thing about the home is the kayaks, I was up at 6 AM every day all by myself kayaking around the pond. We used the fire pit every day, just up the road there was someone selling firewood for 15 for a wheelbarrow full, it was enough to last us for four nights. Within walking distance of the home, there’s a beautiful park with some small waterfalls and two little one room with museums. There’s a mini golf and an ice cream stand also within minutes.

Wonderful week in an idyllic home

We were a party of 6 adults who stayed a week in order to make day trips to Lake George, Ticonderoga, Albany, Saratoga Springs and western Vermont. We found the home to be very comfortable and, in all ways, as depicted in the listing (or better). It was perfectly situated for the types of trips I mentioned and for days you want to stay on property, too. We hope to return!

Loved our stay?

We absolutely loved our week on the pond!!! The house was cute but the outside was amazing!!!! Loved the dam landing with the peddleboat and kayaks!!! So much to do just at home - without even leaving! Kayaked, swam, and had fires. Thank you so much for this family week before our oldest heads back to college!

Great Stay

We were passing through on a vacation with our dog and had never visited this area before. We only had a couple of days to stay, but were very glad we did. This was such a nice, private spot on the water and we were able to use the kayaks on the pond. The property manager was so prompt with responses to our questions and very helpful with ideas of things to do nearby, including hikes, biking trails, and restaurants. Wish we had more time to explore, but would definitely return. Also, so glad it was dog-friendly.

Property was just as described. No complaints and no issues during our stay. My two teens enjoyed the kayaks, peddle boat and even caught some fish. Lazy River Tubby Tubing was fun and close by and highly recommend the Long Horn Restaurant for dinner. Diane was very nice and checked on us during our stay.

Family Vacation

Me, my husband, and 2 young adult children really enjoyed our week at the Pond House. The outside space with kayaks and pedal boat for the pond and fire-pit were perfect. The house was as advertised with plenty of room for 4 people. The bathroom was updated with plenty of towels. It was a short drive to Luzerne and Fourth Lakes to rent a boat for catching fish. Lake George is only a 20 minute drive for shopping and restaurants. We really enjoyed rail bikes at Hadley Station. Diane was very responsive when the circuit breaker tripped. She was at the house in minutes. We’d be happy to visit again next time we are in the Adirondacks.

Wouldn't change a thing!

We stayed at a friend's house in Lake Luzerne two years ago and fell in love with the area. It's as quiet or as "busy" as you want to make it due to its proximity to Saratoga, Lake George, etc. Last year we stayed at one of Diane's other properties (Looney Bin) and loved it. In looking at her other listings, we chose the House on Mini Golden Pond this year, as it was a bit more spacious AND sits right on the most beautiful pond. The house didn't disappoint. I think the biggest surprise that we found that didn't translate through the listing photos was the size and layout of the kitchen. IT IS ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. A huge countertop prep space with a picture window overlooking the yard and the pond... Location was awesome, as you can walk right into "town," where there is a food market, pharmacy, clothing boutique, scenic river overlook, library, and a few historical structures. We had our dog with us (another reason we exclusively choose to rent with Diane), and she loved walking into town or doing more scenic walks if you go that other direction from the house. Our girls (14 and 16) are a little old for just wanting to go swimming, so they LOVED the paddleboat and kayaks that come with the house. The pond itself is clear and clean and so incredibly peaceful and beautiful. The bathroom was recently renovated and includes a new full-size washer and dryer. Honestly, if you're considering booking this, just click now and do it - you won't regret it (and you may not want to leave)!

My Family had a great stay at the Pondhouse. Diane was a fantastic host. Highly recommend. The house is adorable, clean and had all the amenities that we could need for a stay away from home. Lake Luzerne is an adorable town with fun historical sites and lots to do in the surrounding areas. Great spot for peace and quiet. The Pondhouse was so quiet. Fun to take the kayaks out in the early morning and watch the Herons catch their breakfast. Just what we needed. Many thanks for lovely memories.
