I actually inherited the property from my elderly father who is still living, but decided to downsize. It's a really beautiful spot.
Private land and yet close to everything.
The house was exactly right for our one-week, ten-person family vacation. I'd absolutely recommend it to family and friends, and depending on the size of our group next year we will absolutely consider staying here again!
- Tons to do within an hour's drive (Fort Ticonderoga, lakes/ponds/rivers galore, hiking, towns of Lake Placid/Bolton Landing/Lake George/Saratoga Springs, etc.)
- On a "perfect" river with a little "beach"; slow relatively warm water good for limited swimming / quick dunks as well as canoeing/tubing (we put in at the property and ~ 5 hours later pulled out at County Home Bridge Rd a few miles downstream)
- Huge, HUGE grassy backyard perfect for games
- Fantastic porch for outdoor meals
- Two car garage converted into two game rooms
- Two kitchens (for us that was a plus because we used both refrigerators)
- Secluded and private
- Fire pit next to the river
- Toys for toddlers (play house, kid pool, etc.)
- Responsive owners/managers
- Pet friendly
- I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff
- WiFi (which is really a good thing to have, since many of us, especially those with AT&T lacked cell service here...which I'm putting down as a PRO!!!)
- Clean and well-maintained
- Property secluded, but can still hear highway when outdoors, even later at night (note: not a big issue outdoors, and not an issue at all when inside)
- Found a few stray pieces of broken glass near fire pit
- No outdoor location to put out trash
The place is nice and was clean. Pretty secluded, we could sort of see one other house. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly, and a big yard. The yard is buggy so bring bug spray (can't really hold that against the house since one of the draws is that it's right next to the river).
Overall we had a nice time.
Since our family is our most treasured gift, my husband and I decided to rent a home that would accommodate our small clan (6 adults and 5 children) as a way to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. This river side log cabin was the perfect choice. The house was immaculate, the setting breadth taking, and of course, the Schroon River was a delight for young and old alike. Glenda thought of everything...from lots of towels to forgotten tooth brushes and wood for the large outdoor fire pit. I think she even provided 7 warm sunny days for us because the weather was perfect (the week of July 2, 2016). We took day trips each day (Lake George, Fort William Henry, Ausable Chasm, Painted Pony Rodeo, Water Slide World, Garnet Mine Tour, and Loon Lake for swimming/boating for the children (aged 3,6,7,8,9). After each outing we returned to the cabin to relax on a tube in the river, fish, and enjoy roasted marsh mellows around a blazing fire. Our oldest grandson literally cried as we left. Thank you for making our 50th anniversary family celebration so memorable. Carole M.
We enjoyed the stay immensely and look forward to another return visit. The home is very comfortable and the grounds are expansive with river access. Bring firewood, you'll want to use the fire pit and enjoy the evenings outside. Plenty of room for the 6-7 adults we had with room to spare. If you bring kids, then you'll have plenty more space with the bunk beds and smaller twins available.
Happy travels.
15 of my friends and I went up and the house was perfect for what we needed. Each room had an air conditioner which turned out to be clutch in the warm weather we had. The kitchen was perfect for preparing our food and there was a spare fridge to store extra food in. Outside they have a huge yard which we fully enjoyed and took full advantage of. By the water there was an awesome area for a fire and great location next to the river, which the water was very clean and we relaxed in the entire day. I would totally recommend this house to anyone else but would advise that if you are trying to contact the owner save enough time ahead because the phone number provided is not a cell number and took awhile to get back to me.
House lights are dark, very tight for 15 people, the pool table room and pingpong table room have sofa bed, but it is very cold at night, it is tough to sleep in there. I have group of 15 people going to this cabin, 7 pair of couples, and 1 single. They only have 4 rooms for the couples, 1 other room for the kids, 2 rooms were locked the rest of sleeping place are the sofa bed and real sofa in the living room. We were forced to separated to girls and boys because if we have couples live in each room, we will end up not having enough rooms. Ok, this is my third time renting a house in Lake George area, all owners pick up their phone calls except this one. The lights for the up stair restroom were out at second day around 5:00PM, we tried to reset all the safety breaker boxes, it doesn't work. So I called owner with my friends only 1 bar signal phone, it went through, but no one picking up the phone, I called couple times, still no answer, so I emailed the owner saying the lights were out. and she replied me at 8:00PM which is 3 hours later, telling me to reset the breaker box, I replied her saying I tried it already, it doesn't work, and then she replied me after 12:00PM saying push the button on the Ground fault breaker under the mirror and above the bathroom sink, I was already sleeping because I have plan second morning. Ok, I was ok with that, we have no light in the bathroom, we deal with it, I didn't say anything about it neither complaint. When we back, we emailed her to get our deposit back but she wouldn't refund the full deposit because of 3 broken plastic chairs.

Beach and Promenade is one of six works to go under the hammer at Christie's in London in June.
Lowry, from Salford, spent many childhood summer holidays at Rhyl in Denbighshire.
Christie's spokesman Matthew Paton said: "It may be that we'll manage to work out if it is a painting of Rhyl."
He added: "It could be difficult to be precise about where it is. He often did composite images.
"We think it could be Rhyl or Lytham St. Anne's, where he used to go a child."
One feature which could hold a clue to the painting's location is a distinctive mill-like red brick building.
It is more reminiscent of his industrial scenes, and is sited in the middle of the promenade.
The six paintings have been put on the market by a private owner and are expected to collectively go for £3m.
Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887- 1976) is best known for his matchstick men and industrial landscapes, based largely on Manchester and Salford.

Coles has just announced that 100% of Coles brand food and drink products are now free from MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and artificial colours. Products include confectionery, bakery, dairy, savoury snacks, marinades as well as many other food groups.
Having a young family, I am careful with what my children and husband eat. Like most Australian families, I try to give my family food that is not only free of additives and MSG but food that is cheap and most importantly tasty. Having young children, colour additives is one I really look out for. There has been studies that there are links between children and artifical colours in drinks and food. Colour additives can lead to hyperactivity. Having a 2 and a 5 year old, I don't need help in that respect.
I was given the chance to taste test a few of their MSG and artificial colour free products. I was given to try out the Coles brand Mexican range.
Chicken burrito with corn. I used the Burrito kit with this meal. The seasoning I used on the chicken was full of flavour and the tortilla was flaky.
Pork, mushroom and spinach quesadilla. I used a packet of the tortillas. I found the size of the tortillas a perfect size to make these quesadillas. I served this with Mexican Grilled Corn inpsired by @IronChefShellie
Fish tacos with mango salsa. I used the taco kit which came with tacos, seasoning and salsa sauce. I don't usually have fish tacos but I wanted to try it with the seasoning. I was expecting the seasoning to be too strong for the delicate fish but I found that it was a right balance.
Nachos. I used the corn chips and the Mild Mexican sauce. Hubby cooked his famous ChilliCon Carne with the can of tomatoes and Coles Mexican beans. The corn chips were full of flavour and crunch. The Mexican sauce was tangy and freshened up the chilli con carne.
All up, the family enjoyed our Mexican week of dinners. I would definitely use the Coles brand Mexican range again. I won't be reaching out for that "yellow box" again.
For more information, you can go to the Coles website
As a reader of Sweet Cherrie Pie, you are able to win 1 of 3 packages of the MSG and artificial colour free Coles brand Mexican range.
The package is worth $25 and includes:
Coles Beans Mexican chilli
Coles Burrito Dinner Kit
Coles Burrito Tortilla 10 pack
Coles Mexican sauce
Coles Mexcian seasoning
Coles Taco Dinner Kit
Coles Corn chips
Coles Salsa
To enter:
1. Leave a comment below and answer this simple question. What is your ultimate Mexican meal?
2. Either "like" this page or tweet this post.
3. Competition ends AEDT midnight Saturday 31st March.
I will pick the 3 winners and will be notified by email and the package will be sent out by post.
Unfortunately, only Australian readers can enter.
Good luck!

Scholarships Program
The Seattle AWIS Scholarship program was launched in 1990 to provide financial assistance to undergraduate women who are majoring in science, math or engineering fields at four-year colleges and universities in Washington State. Since then, over $175,000 in scholarships has been awarded. Scholarship recipients are selected based on academic excellence, financial need, motivation to pursue a science-based career, and a record of giving back to their communities. Many scholarship recipients have found that receiving an AWIS Scholarship is validating and gives them an increased self-confidence to go for their dreams and goals and that this support from a group of women whom they admire is as important as the financial assistance.
2016-2017 AWIS Scholarship Major Donors
- Battelle
- Immune Design
- Veronica Smith and Natalie Hamrick
- Fran Solomon
- Steve Gilbert and Janice Camp
Donations can be made to the Scholarship Fund via PayPal
