5 BEDROOM HOUSE LAKE GEORGE REGION

This is a terrific house that accommodated my group of 14 with ease. As it is described, the house is on a small compound with a few other rental houses but they are not on top of each other so you can maintain a sense of privacy. It is cozy and spacious at the same time. A ten minute drive to Gore Mountain. Dealing with Vasili was very pleasant and Dick was extremely helpful getting us set up and it was nice to have him nearby if we ever ran into an issue.

We rented this house with 17 people. The price was competitive compared to similar properties. The owner Vasili and the caretaker Dick were both very nice and helpful. We especially appreciated how Dick set up firewood outside for us ahead of time. Even though the property has other cabins, the house is located in a very private spot.

The house was well-equipped with utensil, pots, etc. Everything inside was very clean. Note that the sleeping spots didn't seem to correspond exactly to the configuration on homeaway --- while there are 17 spots, two of the spots seemed to correspond to a pull-out couch and the rooms were laid out somewhat differently. This was no trouble for us, but I mention it in case it matters to the reader.

In terms of activities, half of us hiked and the other half climbed. In terms of hiking, there are lots of routes close-by and I think this is a really good spot for those kind of activities. However, unless you are equipped with a full set of trad gear and the requisite knowledge, to get to good climbing spots requires at least an hour trip.

Finally, the immediate locale around the cabin is just a wooded area, and is not scenic. This is not necessarily a negative, as the house is not advertised as such, but I just mention that in case someone is really looking for that kind of location.

All in all, a very positive experience, and if you have a large group, this place is well worth a look.

Our family stayed at Mill Creek's 5-bedroom house/cabin. We were a combination of all age groups and we all found things to do througout the week we spent there. It is great for kids - swimming pool on premises plus tons of greenery to run around and ride bikes without having to go out of the property. For those that like to cook, the kitchen is very well equiped including two outdoor grills for exclusive use of this cabin. If you like to explore, there are plenty of places to go during the summer - many small and safe public lakes, there is a Garnet Mine and many towns in the immediate area. One of the places we liked most was the Hobby Farm off Route 28, operated by Leslie - the most charming woman you could ever meet. She grows small quantities of produce on her farm that has been in her family for over 100 years. For directions, ask Dick the Mill Creek property manager - who is, by the way, a very amicable and helpful gentleman. Upon our arrival, Dick was extremely helpful, professional and informative. Lake George is a short 25-minute drive from Mill Creek property. We would definitely recommend this vacation rental - a great value for your money.
