Cute and short drive to everything!

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.

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!

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.

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

Ok but probably won’t stay there again

The place had cobwebs and dust bunnies there was also a pair of short tucked in next to one of the beds that would have been easily found when they made the beds or cleaned. Some of the sheets had stains and the pillows had stains too, they were covered by pillow protectors but you can still see it. Also, the shower looked bigger in the picture.

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!

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.

Balloon fest/hiking trip.

The purpose of our trip was the annual balloon fest, but we were able to do so much more from the great central location to all the things we love. The cottage is in a beautiful quite neighborhood, near the hiking trails and senic drives on our list. Stores are near for any forgotten nessisities. The property manager was prompt in her response to any questions, and offered some great suggestions to local attractions, A++!!! Restaurants all around close early, so this will interfere with a jam packed day. The only thing I can think of would be a dishwasher. After all the hiking and staying out late at the balloon fest, washing dishes was the last thing we wanted or felt like doing. This cottage covered all our needs.
