About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome home!

Are you looking for a place that feels like home to spend time with family or friends to just relax or a place to regroup in between visiting local attractions? Why not stay here…..

The property is located 20 minutes north of Lake George and is located within walking distance to Tripp Lake where you can enjoy the beach and maybe go for an afternoon swim or use the clay tennis courts. If you would prefer to golf, Green Mansions Gold Club is only a 5 minute drive from the townhouse. You can find something to do in any direction you go in from the centralized location.

The townhouse consists of 3 bedrooms , 2.5 bathrooms , full kitchen and plenty of room to relax between the open floor layout and the screened in porch. Whether you choose to cook inside or outside on the BBQ, your group will be sure to enjoy.

When your stay has ended and you look back on the time spent here, you’ll find yourself smiling. After all, whatever happens at the lake is laughed at all year!

Home in the woods
My husband, in-laws and I stayed for the 2024 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Queensbury about 1/2 hour away. I searched online for a cozy, comfortable place for the 6 of us to stay and we couldn’t have been any happier with our choice. Kate has the most beautifully decorated home right down to lights. I’m told the decorations change for the season and I do not doubt that every change is something to see. The house is set just perfectly in the woods and the way the windows look out to the back yard, you could imagine during a snow fall the scene would be picturesque. The house is equipped with every kitchen appliance and utensil you could need. There are also board games to play with family & friends. The beds are comfortable and showers are hot with good pressure. We did not need anything during our stay, but there’s no doubt in my mind that Kate would have been extremely responsive had we needed anything. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Kates home again!

Great Place for a Getaway in the Adirondacks
The condo was perfect! One of the best and well-stocked condos I've ever seen. We needed some downtime from a hectic summer travel schedule and found it. Loved the fireplace and the cozy atmosphere nestled in the woods. Cellular was sketchy, but the wi-Fi signal was great and we had no problems at all.using our mobile phones.

Best Place Ever
Kathleen's home was the best place we have ever stayed in on our vacations in the Saratoga/Lake George area. Comfortable, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean. She is the ultimate host, including going out of her way to suggest fun activities for us to do. What a wonderful person! We would love to stay there again as she made everything a total pleasure!

Magnificent!!!
We’ve been staying at VRBO properties for 20 years & Kathleen has been our favorite host of all. She rescued our vacation (canceled by Debby) with 24 hours notice. Our stay was wonderful. The house was immaculately clean & beautifully decorated with endless lovely personal touches. Bears & moose & wolves, oh my! The cabin décor made us feel right at home. It was cozy, welcoming, & comfortable in every way. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted; beds wonderful; bathrooms had great layouts, amenities, H2O pressure/temp; W/D conveniently located; living room beautiful & comfy with a view, great TV for Olympics, & games; great wifi; screened porch with peaceful sights & sounds of nature was adored by all. The neighborhood is quiet. Tripp Lake Beach was a highlight with kayaks, chairs, umbrellas, pool toys, docks, great swimming, & terrific views. We found it very relaxing. The property is in an excellent location – you can get to the grocery & restaurants in 10 minutes, & many exciting towns, hikes, & activities are within 1.5 hours. We enjoyed Whiteface, Prospect, ziplining, ww rafting, disc golf, hiking, swimming, kayaking, games, book shops, restaurants, ADK Museum, & hanging out at home base. Throughout the process, Kathleen was incredibly kind, thoughtful, & attentive. Read her host comments in the listing & take in the “words of wisdom” décor around her house & you’ll get a sense of her warmth. We enjoyed ourselves immensely & would definitely love to return. Thanks Kathleen!

Perfect!!!!
Your home is wonderful.I felt instantly comfortable from the moment we walked in. I sat out on the porch, read my book and dozed here and there. So relaxing. The theme of the decor fit perfectly. Now, to me, one of the most important things...your home is immaculate. Every inch. The bathrooms looked as though no one had every used them. Your attention to detail was amazing. I never felt uncomfortable using any of your plates, utensils and appliances. My only suggestion for the kitchen would be to add some brighter lighting and a standard (12 cup) coffee pot.We hope that once we decide on a date for next year, you will be able to accommodate us. Thank you so much.

Great Stay
We had a two night stay at this property. Kathleen was a wonderful communicator. From just before arrival to the informational cues around the house, everything flowed wonderfully like the stream just outside the house. She made this experience stress free so we could enjoy our stay. She even had a gift waiting for us when we arrived. These small gestures and attention to detail set this property apart from others. Thanks again Kathleen for a great stay.

Time with Family
We were in Chestertown for the memorial service of a close family member. Kathleen’s home was a warm, homey and comfortable place for us to stay and gather together during a very difficult time. We really appreciated how responsive and kind Kathleen was during our stay. We would love to be able to come back and stay during a happier and maybe warmer time and make some lovely memories together.

Home Away From Home
Our time at this property was fantastic!! It couldn’t have been better. Our host, Kathleen went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Her place felt like we were truly coming home each night! My friends and I had a wonderful, relaxing time unwinding in front of the fireplace, catching up with one another. I have never enjoyed a stay somewhere as much as I enjoyed this and I would go back in a heartbeat! Kathleen went above and beyond to make our stay an unforgettable one. I can’t thank her enough! This was my first Vrbo experience and I couldn’t have asked for any better!

Ski Weekend
Our second time staying here and we enjoyed our stay just as much as the first time! We love this warm, cozy, beautiful condo! After a day of skiing it’s the perfect place to relax and spend time with our family. We loved playing cards in front of the fireplace with all the awesome Christmas decorations and lights. This home is clean, has everything you could possibly need, comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and a great location. Close to Gore and some really good restaurants. We loved the pizza from The Pizza Shop in Warrensburg and the food at Basil and Wicks was fantastic. This condo will always be our first choice on any returning ski weekend’s.

Peaceful, beautiful getaway
There was nothing we didn’t like about staying here at Evergreen Way. It was exactly as described and much to our liking. There was plenty of space for finding nooks to be alone to read or together in a beautiful gathering room. That was inside; outside was a glorious wonderland of Adirondack beauty. The beach at Tripp Lake, located at the end of a lovely walk along the woods, was a treasure. Beautifully appointed with umbrellas and chairs was overseen by friendly, helpful young attendants. Our host was very helpful and attentive before, during and after leaving. It was a 10+ getaway !!

Magical Snowglobe Property
We can't say enough good things about our stay. The communication with the host was extremely easy from the day I booked the trip. The location was great for what we went for which was skiing at Gore and it's also very close to downtown Lake George. The house was decorated very nicely and was spacious enough for our family trip of 6. We got hit with a snowstorm which we thought would be an issue for the roads, but the association took care of shoveling and plowing for us. Our host was kind and made us feel very welcome which is one of the many reasons we will be booking again at this property. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Several problems including a strong sewage smell; would not book again
I would not book this rental again. I wanted to like this place at first, but then problems became apparent. First and foremost, there was a strong sewage smell that you could smell outside the house (it basically hit you in the face) and also in the upstairs master bathroom. It was so pervasive that at times you could smell it downstairs. We chose to just live with it because we were there for a few days, had no where else to go, didn't feel like thinking about house problems on vacation, and were going to be outside a good bit. But it made us feel sick being around it and if you closed the door to the bathroom, it just got worse. To me - bad smells are completely unacceptable for a rental. To boot, the owner did not offer a discount or even seem apologetic at all over this major inconvenience which also left a bad taste in my mouth. Other things you should know - there is no cell signal (it does have wifi) at this house (we had T Mobile and Verizon, neither worked). This was not noted in the listing. Some may like this, some may not, but not listing it in this day and age is not right. We likely would not have booked the house if we knew this as we couldn't afford to be completely disconnected. A few people in our group also got splinters going up the stairs from the handrails that aren't properly maintained. Also, if you're looking to get out and ski and its snowing -- this house is basically the last one the plow and maintenance guys get to. You'll likely be shoveling your own snow like we did and the maintenance guys will show up at noon. In the spring/fall/summer - no worries - but when you're trying to get out the door early in the winter, it does matter. The location is fine. It's not very close to Gore and the drive just gets longer in inclement weather. But it's also not as expensive as some places right next to Gore. It's also not terribly far from Warrensburg or Lake George - kind of a happy medium. They generally have what you need in the unit for cooking. There is good space in the living area and the heat works well. But there was the smell which just ruined it. The beds were fine, but the pillows (everyone will have a different opinion on this) were very high in the bed I slept in which didn't feel very comfortable. There was also not much hot water the first day after we got back from Gore. We had to adjust to taking pretty quick showers (not ideal after long skiing days) to make sure we had hot water.

What a cute, cozy, well-appointed. townhouse. Very nice kitchen and comfortable living room. This was by far one of the CLEANEST rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Communication with the owner was excellent. We loved eating out at the Bullhouse and had delicious ice cream treats at the old-fashioned ice cream parlor (ICS) on main street. Not a ton of snow but we still enjoyed skiing at Gore and cross country skiing at Garnet Hill. We’d definitely recommend and hope to return!!
