Great location and perfect for our needs.

We stayed 5 days and it was a great central location for day trips all over the Adirondacks. The property was nothing fancy but we weren’t looking for that since we planned to be out most of the days we were there. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. The owner is excellent with communication and the property was well kept. We would highly recommend this property!

Great Family Trip

We had a wonderful stay. Very clean and roomy. Everything we needed was supplied and easy instructions for check in/out. We usually stay in Lake George and we were worried about the location, but the drive into Lake George was easy and about 10 minutes. Plus the location of house was very nice. The only thing that we were not use to was the wall to wall carpeting,even in kitchen. We do like hard wood floors, But the rug was very clean

Quiet and peaceful getaway

It was our family's last-minute decision to get away and with many places sold out at Lake George, our original destination, I came across A Tale of Two Beaches house near Lake Luzerne. I'm glad we have stayed away from the busier place and ended up in a very quiet community, minutes away from the lake. There was nothing fancy about the place but it had everything that you need. My family enjoyed nearby hiking, railbike trip, swimming in the lake, kayaking, and gathering by the fire pit in the evening. Diane, the host was very responsive and answered all the questions we had. We could not find iron on the day of the arrival and she brought it over soon after we contacted her. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away, I recommend the little town of Lake Luzerne and A Tale of Two Beaches home.

Hidden Little Gem

My family – my husband, myself, and our three teenage boys – stayed four nights in this beautiful property. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing getaway. It was extremely clean and well stocked - there was propane in the grill and firewood when we arrived. You can tell this property is owned by someone who really cares about it. It is decorated really cute and comes with the use of games and a smart TV. The kitchen had all the cooking supplies that we needed including dishwashing supplies. All we had to bring were groceries and pantry items. there is a fire pit that has the most beautiful view at night. We are so grateful that we got to experience it. Lake Luzerne is so pretty and we enjoyed our time on the beach. The property comes with two kayaks that we also enjoyed using while we stayed. We also went to Six Flags Lake George, which was just about 20 minutes away. I can’t say anything but positive things about this property. I would highly recommend anyone choose this property to stay at. We plan to book again for next year and this time to stay a full week.

Sweet but musty

Overall the family had a really good time. The cabin was roomy and comfortable with plenty of sleeping space. The bathroom is tiny and outdated. One toilet for five guests was okay for the weekend. I loved how the kitchen was well stocked with items such as pots and pans and utensils. Plenty of dish detergent too. As always, the knives were dull and the pans old and scratched. The neighborhood was lovely - a really sweet lake house community feel. Tiny little houses everywhere and humongous trees. The walk to the lake was very short and totally doable with kids. The place had a wagon which was SUPER helpful. Fire pit out front was great with plenty of wood. We had to bring our own beach towels which was fine since we drove but would be a bummer if you flew here. Local shops etc were easy to get to. 20 minutes to Lake George and all the attractions there. Very convenient, but you really don’t need it if you just want a sweet little get away in the woods. The place is a bit of an allergy-sufferers’ nightmare. I sneezed all weekend. As many houses that are located near water and aren’t used a lot, the place was musty. At least the beds had thick anti-allergy covers on them so I slept well, but the carpet is old and dirty and made my kids’ feet black. There were little signs everywhere inside the place giving instructions on how to be a good guest which I think is helpful. I know how a septic system works, so nothing was news to me but it was good to have.

We stayed for 7 nights and we enjoyed our stay. Bathroom was snug for 5 of us but we made it work. Wonderful three season porch to enjoy and everything you need to feel at home. Nice neighborhood, we could walk our dog daily and felt safe. We would recommend this cottage to a family.

Lake retreat

We had a great time on our long weekend here. Place is very spacious and clean. Walking distance to both beaches. We enjoyed the outside fire pit and took lots of walks. Close to lake George village so was nice to take a day trip there. Plenty of other local activities as well. Bon’s Ice cream and mini golf would highly recommend.

Excellent Experience

The house was way better than we expected! We couldn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked though because my cousins came to Lake George to surprise me for my birthday and no guest are allowed at this house, so that was the only downfall of staying at this house.

Lovely and accommodating camp house

Great camp house for families and groups of 5-6 people visiting the Adirondack region. Camp has a fully functional kitchen and a small but adequate bathroom. Rooms and space were as advertised. The location of the home is approximately 20 minutes away from the southern Lake George region as well as Saratoga Springs region. Diane responded promptly to all questions and she was helpful in answering questions about the region. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful stay

This property worked well for our family (2 adults, 3 teens and our 5yo) and dog. Short walk to the beaches. Clean lakes to swim and fish in. The neighborhood seemed very quiet and peaceful. Kayaking was fun, only issue was chaining them back up after we used them. Great communication with the property manager Diane! She answered all my questions very quickly via text. Overall had a lovely stay!
