Unique Adirondack Estate on Hudson River - near Gore Mountain & Lake George

Seasonal Rentals for December 1, 2024, through April 30, 2024, are NOW AVAILABLE. For more information, contact the Host!

Hermanus-on-the-Hudson is convenient to Gore Mountain, Lake George Region, North Creek, Friends Lake, Schroon Lake, Loon Lake, Adirondacks, Americade, World University Games, FISU, with activities of skiing, rafting, biking, and hiking the High Peaks.

Winter Adventures: Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating, hockey AND Winter Carnivals are some of the wonders of winter. Nearby areas to explore: Gore Mountain (about 10 miles away), West Mountain, Oak Mountain, Whiteface Mountain, Hickory Ski Center, Garnet Hill, Coles Woods, North Warren Snowmobile Club, C&C snowmobile Tours, Dynamite Hill Ice Rink, and Adirondack Thunder Hockey are just a few in the area.
Winter Carnivals are in Lake George, Saranac Lake, and Brandt Lake (more will be announced once the final dates are set).

Spring/Summer/Fall fun and enjoyment. Hike the trails and mountains nearby, examine the abundance of flowers springing up in the spring and summer, view the beautiful colors of fall throughout the Adirondacks. I am always amazed each year by the wonderous colors each season has to offer - truly gorgeous!

For Golfers, Cronin's is the place to go (only about 5 miles away). It has a fantastic course and great food! We love their hot dogs! When making your reservation, tell John or Jim (the owners) that Ken and Sue sent you to them.

Starting in early Spring, Square Eddy Expeditions has white water rafting. Are you planning on attending a wedding at Friends Lake Inn? Then, staying at Hermanus is just down the road. Revolution Rail is your place if you love recumbent biking along the Hudson. Hermanus-on-the-Hudson is the place to be!

Hermanus is a private estate (25 acres) located on the Hudson River in Chestertown, NY, surrounded by nature. Hermanus has a unique history, so be sure to check out Hermanus' history on our website, www.hermanus-on-the-hudson.com.

The Adirondack-style second-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. and almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed at the living areas: an open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace that reaches 16-18-foot ceilings.

At Hermanus, you may walk the many trails, sit in or by the river, fish, walk across the Hudson (when the water is low), snowshoe (not provided), or sit by the fire pits (two on-site). In addition, there are puzzles, games, internet Wi-Fi, and a 75" Smart TV.

Wish to dine in: the kitchen has almost everything from major to small appliances and baking supplies. Have your cup of coffee (k-pods or 12 cups) anytime during the day, a toaster, blender, or crockpot. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and knives make preparing meals easy. Ample cupboards and a large refrigerator offer plenty of storage. Paper and cleaning products are provided, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar. If you forgot an item, ask!

The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable reading chair. The adjacent walk-in closet has plenty of hanging space, a washer/dryer, and a small safe for valuables.

The second bedroom has two twin beds and a closet. In addition, there is a small desk and a trundle bed in the "Crows Nest" (loft). This area overlooks the massive living/dining/kitchen area. The maximum sleeping capacity is 6. There is also a travel crib (Graco Pack 'n-Play Dome LX-Playard).

The private bath has double sinks and a walk-in shower. The caretakers share additional bathrooms: a half bath downstairs (through the heated garage) and a full bath (shower) in the heated workshop.

Chestertown is about 5 miles from restaurants, and an exquisite fine-dining restaurant is minutes away. Every town around Hermanus has its unique charm and plenty of activities year-round.

We only accept dogs. If your dog or dogs are over 25 lbs, please email us to let us know what breed your dogs are and their weight before booking. So far, we have had dogs up to 125 lbs.

The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Perfect stay for our families needs. Ground managers live on property and are very friendly and helpful! Their two dogs were very welcoming of our pup, who loved running free around the property. Hudson lake access and great view. Well equipped kitchen, large TV, and comfortable furniture. Recommend renting a boat from Yankee’s boat rental to explore Lake George (pet friendly) and short hike to Goose Pond for a lovely swim if you go to the Pharaohs lake wilderness area.

We absolutely loved our stay! As per the listing, it was private with riverfront views, hiking on the premises and a very comfortable home-away-from home!Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. They built fires outside for us in the evening to enjoy the outdoors including the riverfront and nature! They also recommended several places to visit and activities to do which we did - and thoroughly enjoyed all of them.We would love to return in the future!!! Great place! Great hosts!!!The only issue which turned out to be very minor was that the listing described two bathrooms in the unit (in addition to another bathroom in the garage). Actually, the unit only had one bathroom, but since there were only three of us in the unit, it was not an issue. The one time we needed a second bathroom, it was not a problem to use the facilities in the garage.This place was truly wonderful!!!

Beautiful, serene getaway along the Hudson

We could not have been happier or more comfortable in this spacious, yet cozy rental home. The property itself is so beautiful and peaceful. We used this as a home base for skiing at nearby (17 min away) Gore Mountain, and it was the perfect place to return to for an evening of relaxation by the fireplace. The hosts and property managers are lovely.

Not what we expected

Bathroom situation not as described (2 1/2 baths), only one bathroom in the apartment. Apartment is upstairs, barbecue for use is on the owners patio area, no deck or seating for the apartment, kind of unusual and awkward to use the barbecue and patio, the apartment is over a three car garage and the garage door motors were always vibrating the apartment. The setting and property were beautiful but the facilities were not as described and not the type of property I would have rented had I known. .

Great spot for a long weekend getaway

The place is extremely clean and well-maintained, equipped with everything you might need. Sue and John take wonderful care of the property, ensuring it is perfectly ready for guests. John even prepared a bonfire for us! The property is located about a 20-minute drive from Lake George, right on the Hudson River. It’s a beautiful setting, perfect for those who want to be close to nature and avoid the crowds at Lake George, yet still be within a reasonable distance. It’s also an ideal spot for trips to Lake Placid and Bolton Landing. Our stay wouldn’t have been as enjoyable without Ruby and Pearl, the caretakers’ lovely and friendly dogs. Our kids had so much fun. John and Sue, thank you for your hospitality!

Hermanus Estate

The Carriage House was beautiful, very clean, comfortable beds, great view of the Hudson River, and lots of other amenities. We brought both are dogs who enjoyed running around the area with Pearl and Ruby, Sue and John's dogs (caretakers of estate) who live downstairs from where we stayed. John was a wealth of information on where to dine, beaches and activities to do in the surrounding area. Sue is a top notched cleaner as apartment was immaculate!!I I did miss in the review when I booked our vacation that the Caretakers live downstairs and that the 2 other bathrooms are shared with them and one is located outside in the garage. There were only three of us so the beautiful bathroom in the Carriage House Apartment did accommodate us. Usually, when we go on vacation my Husband and I love are privacy and alone time with our son and dogs so this was a different experience for us to have to share our stay. I must say though that John and Sue were very respectful and courteous of our time and helpful if we needed or wanted anything. We really enjoyed ourselves on this vacation. We also got to meet the owners and my Husband enjoyed the conversation with Sue on the Ship Wheel in their home and the history behind it. Mitchell our son loved exploring the area and hanging out down near the river with all 4 dogs and making Campfires.

House by the Hudson River (Narrows)

The house is the perfect combination of woodsy and modern. Most of the wooden furniture has been beautifully hand made with creative design. The high celings in the main family room are also made of gorgeous wood. There is a real fireplace that we unfortunately did not use because it was too warm. Comfy leather recliners and a 75 inch TV. The kitchen is open to the main room with a peninsula to sit at with stools. Modern appliances, all the kitchen ware you could possibly need, clean and new. The bathroom was a WOW! Large, standing glass door shower with beautiful marble tile and all the amenities. Double sinks, well made wood cabinets. Nicely decorated, well stocked with fresh towels. For the highlight of the house, a short walk out the front door takes you to the banks of the Hudson River, which looks like a large babbling brook at that section of the Hudson! It is so serene and peaceful. There is lovely couple who live on the property with their 2 dogs Pearl and Rusty who welcomed us and were available for any questions. Had a fabulous 4 night stay here exploring the Lake George region. Highly recommend this getaway.
