We decided to take a quick mid-week trip to the Adirondacks and booked a night at Binder's Cabins…read more The location is superb overlooking Adirondack Lake. The owners Cassie and Jake greeted us like family and gave us helpful information on local attractions and restaurants. The cabin has a front screen porch for bug free relaxing and lake viewing. The place is so squeaky clean and has everything you could possibly need in its utility kitchen. Layout is great and although just two of us and our dog, it can easily sleep 5. We will be back!

I will definitely be coming up to visit more often to get away to relax.

I have been staying at Galusha's Cottages for over 20 years and absolutely love every minute of it…read more I count the minutes each year before I can go back. Yes, the cabins are bare bones, and yes, you have to bring your own sheets and supplies, but, hey, that's the way mountain escapes always used to be. This is a great old-fashioned experience - away from the intrusion of TV, Wifi and cell phones. I wouldn't trade that solitude and disconnecting for anything. Lewey Lake is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. No speed boats, just canoes, kayaks, lots of birds and clear skies. The view of the Milky Way is something you don't find in too many places on the East Coast anymore.

I spent my first weekend at the cottages 9/20 to 9/22. For people looking for a tranquil setting…read morewithout power boat traffic this is a great stop. Lewey lake is just south of Indian Lake. The cottages are reasonably priced. If you are looking for a place glamp or want all the comforts of home than you might want to look elsewhere. If you want good accommodations and the ability to get away from the internet then this is for you. The cabins are rustic. They have electricity and water and are clean. You will have do some cleaning when you depart but that keeps the prices reasonable and isn't too much to ask. The lake has an abundance of wildlife. Owls, loons, beavers, moose, deer, and turkey are just some of the things you can see. The fishing was okay. There is the opportunity to catch bass and other fish. Be prepared to fish shallow water and plan on fishing vegetation. The kayaking and canoeing is great. You feel like you have the whole place to yourself. If you want a quiet getaway away from the hustle and bustle this is a place worth the trip.

We stayed at Dockside Manor. The property location was fantastic. It is just as depicted in the…read morepictures. We made good use of the fire pit, arcade and pool room, and of course the lake. If you're traveling with young children, you should know that there is no beach area where they can gradually go into the water. The stairs off the dock are the only way in, but our group of non swimming 3-5 year olds did fine with floaties. The only disappointing thing was that there was no shampoo or soap in the bathrooms. For the price of this home, I feel that this should be included. Also, you should know that there are no spices. If you're planning to cook in, which we did every night, you will need to bring your own spices, olive oil, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, crock pot, coffee maker and plenty of dishes. We had a wonderful week! There were 18 of us ranging from 1 to 88 and there was plenty of room.

Do not rent from this company. A quick google search will tell you all you need to know and fall…read moredirectly along the lines of what happened to me. Properties are beautiful and well appointed but they are notorious for after charges with claims. My recent stay I was not happy that they don't release the address until check in time especially when traveling 3 hours to get there. Overall, the unit was relatively clean, although I did find hair left in the shower and cobwebs in the bunk area. The hot tub had not been cleaned and, despite being covered, was full of leaves and bugs. The shower water pressure was extremely weak and noticeable cob webs throughout the home. Also, the bunk bed is listed as a king bed, which is inaccurate. Despite these issues, I was happy with my stay and was even considering booking one of their properties again. Several days after my stay I discovered an unexpected $500 charge on my credit card with absolutely no notice or warning. When I checked the app to find out what the charge was for, I found a message from the host simply stating: "stained linens throughout the rental." This accusation was both vague and unreasonable. We barely used the rental and only slept in one of the 3 beds and followed all check out rules to leave the unit spotless. To be charged $500 after the fact, without any prior communication, photos, evidence, or opportunity to discuss the issue, was extremely disappointing and has completely changed my opinion of this property management company. After contacting Vrbo to dispute the charge and multiple attempts to contact the property with no response. northern provided photo proof of alleged soiled linens. 1. A kitchen towel/rag that had signs of food on it (washable), 2. A pillow case with a slight soiled spot (washable) and 3. A towel that had dirt marks on it (washable). All issues were normal use and could be washed and definitely did not result in the need to replace: as requested by northern to the extent of 1. 2 pillow shams (only one was soiled) 2. a new comforter which they had no proof of any damage to 3. New dish towel 4. 6 full sets of towels (only one set was even used - they provided 3 total - 1 set for each bed and the unused ones remained folded in place where they were placed by northern) Potential guests should be aware of the possibility of additional charges, inaccurate bed sizes and most important significant post-stay charges and proceed with caution. Inspect every inch upon arrival and before departure and take photos and videos. Or even better. Don't stay at their properties at all.

Todd was very accommodating to us when we had to switch dates for our vacation. He was also great with communication, giving us detailed welcoming and departing emails stocked with all sorts of info. There was one small glitch that Todd saw to in a very timely manor. The cabin had a kitchenette that had everything we needed for our week stay. Two separate bathrooms (with abundant hot water) were very nice to have and would come in handy for two couples or a family with kids. The Wi-Fi was fantastic - no issues. TV with Roku was nice though we used it just once. We made use of the fire pit, grill and picnic table almost every day. Corn hole and a horseshoe pit were also used. We also brought croquet and bocci sets that we used as there was ample space to play. $10 for firewood that could be used for 3 separate fires was a decent deal. It's a great location between Saranac and Placid. The only suggestion I would have might be to put together a binder with suggestions of local hikes, water holes, falls to see/swim in, places to eat, etc. Here are a couple to consider: Jay Covered Bridge (swim, 30 min drive), https://www.whitefaceregion.com/story/2015/08/jay-rapids-adirondacks-best-kept-secret, Peninsula nature trails (10 min) easy trails with access to swimming in Lake Placid https://www.lakeplacid.com/hiking/peninsula-nature-trails , Donnollys ice cream 20 min, mom and pop ice cream place with just one swirled flavor that rotates daily. It's the creamiest that I have ever tasted. The same guy has been running the place for nearly 60 yrs. https://www.facebook.com/people/Donnellys-Ice-Cream/100064413290587/?ref=page_internal. There are tons of places to checkout. Make sure to do some homework and make a list before you arrive,
