We stayed in a cabin. Throughout the night, we were woken up multiple times by the sound of small rodents in the room and in the ceiling above us. When we got out of bed and looked at the foot of the bed, there were what look to be mouse droppings and pieces of ceiling tile on the comforter. This is not the way it looked before we went to bed. There were some other issues we were willing to overlook during our stay (wifi troubles, dirty carpets, funky smell in cabin, stairs leading into cabin are not aligned properly/broken) but the rodents keeping us awake and mouse droppings falling on the bed that we were sleeping in was not something we could overlook. The property was very nice, we enjoyed the pool and the farmstand so it was unfortunate that the cabin fell short of my expectations for the price we payed. I did a lot of research before choosing to stay at this location but I feel that where we stayed was very different from what was advertised on the website. No one was in the office at any point during our stay and when I emailed, they did not offer an apology, they told me I could have called the emergency line.
EDIT TO ADD (after reading the reply): this happened at 4am on the day we were checking out, relocating was not really an option, I just wanted to go home and shower after finding mouse droppings in the bed. I can assure you that we did not leave any crumbs as we were only there for 2 days and ate out of the cabin for all meals. The fact that the management is trying to deflect this into us instead of apologizing profusely or apologizing AT ALL is literally insane to me. There was MOUSE POOP FALLING FROM THE SKY. I rest my case. Also I said I was willing to overlook the wifi but now that they are blaming me for not knowing how to sign into it, I can also assure you I know how to properly sign into wifi. And yes, I used the little binder to sign into the proper network AND agreed to the terms of service so it was the weak wifi signal in the cabin, not me. So ultimately what resulted in our poor experience was, once again, the mouse poop FALLING FROM THE SKY and then the business trying to blame me instead of just...
   Read moreFriends were vacationing in the Lake||George area and we decided to join them last minute. Looked for lodging near Twin Birches and came across this lovely stop online. The reviews were good, and Forest Lodge and Cabins lived up to them. ||||We stayed in a single room, as stunning, rustic—and spotless (b/c that matters big-time)—as pictured on the website. A/C worked well; unit has a heater for cooler nights. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and water pressure good. We enjoyed sitting on the porch outside our room, which overlooked the main road and the woods across the way. Price was extremely reasonable, considering proximity to lake, LG Village and Bolton’s Landing (as well as our friends). If you choose not to drive, a trolley runs every half hour or so up/down the main drag ($1/person/ride each way)||||We also had a chance to view the cabins; these were equally clean, rustic and were well-equipped with kitchens, living areas, porches, etc. A large house is also in the property; it sleeps 7 and can be rented year-round. (The other buildings are seasonal.) ||Construction of a gazebo and treehouses-as-lodging are also in the works. ||||Other amenities included:||-ample parking near rooms/cabins ||||-crystal-clear (non-heated) pool and restful surround with lots of seating (varied types—wicker sofa under pergola was THE BEST!)||||-charcoal grills: one near each of the motel buildings and one/cabin ||||-considerate and attentive service,||particularly from Nancy; leaving extra towels outside our door in a basket was such a nice touch!||||-WiFi and Smart TV (This was only feature that was problematic, but seems to be more an issue of the entire region vs. only at the venue. I don’t mind not having TV but Hubby does.) ||||-mini-fridge and small coffee pot (with fixings :)||||Would definitely stay...
   Read moreWe stayed at the Watch Tower in mid-November to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary and brought along our pup. We booked through Airbnb and had a lovely time overall! The tower was just the right size for two people and a dog. The bed and bedding were very comfortable, but the standout features were definitely the large, luxurious shower and the second-story wraparound deck—it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. We appreciated that so many essentials were thoughtfully provided, including towels, bathrobes, slippers, soap, shampoo, conditioner, cookware, silverware, coffee makers, and a spacious fridge, among other amenities. The location is fantastic, being close to both Lake George and Bolton Landing. We enjoyed exploring both, although Lake George was understandably quieter at this time of year. Onsite, there’s firewood available for purchase, and typically a farm stand, although it was empty during our stay—likely due to the season. A highlight of our stay was meeting the famous chickens and goats onsite. One thing to note is that the Watch Tower is part of a "campground", and the properties are not as secluded as we initially expected based on the Airbnb listing. Other cabins are fully visible from each other, and car traffic in the middle of the night did disturb our first night’s sleep. Additionally, the couch on the main floor could be more comfortable—it’s a leather couch, and the cushions tend to slide off. Lastly, the metal spiral staircase may be challenging for dogs that aren’t fond of stairs (our pup is special and we kind of expected this). Just a general heads up to our pup-parents. Despite these minor drawbacks, we truly enjoyed our time at the Watch Tower and plan to return in the future to try out their other...
