I’ve delayed writing this as it is hard to do this property justice! It’s amazing! We were 2 families, people and we used 9 of the 11 bedrooms. Everyone has a lovely time. We were sooo lucky to find this property. It’s a former Inn, but we rented the whole house.
Excellent communication from the owner and off site caretaker. They were both most helpful and very responsive.
Property itself…it really is 5 star. Cozy sheets and comforters, plush towels, disposables provided (hand soaps, shampoo, etc). There’s even beer on tap for a suggested donation! There are some games and we brought some. There’s an awesome outdoor eating area in the gazebo, but it was too cold for that. The fire place (with wood stacked and ready to go) was delightful. Really every detail is attended to, which makes traveling so much nicer!
It’s huge!!! So much space to come together and also to have your own space. One note on bedrooms, just an FYI, 3 bedrooms in the family suite are in their own area and the way it’s built you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the hallway. It’s really a space for families with kids. For us this was a non issue, but if you are 11 couples, that might be consideration. There is also laundry which was great.
If you go over the winter holiday, as we did, book things like ski passes and snow mobile tours in advance. We went to Burlington one day. Found a great Pho place and man made salt cave. Downtown Plattsburgh has some cute shops. We went to one of the sugar shops (maple syrup!) and loved chatting with the owner. Montreal is about an hour away. Look up testing/entry requirements in advance. It takes some planning to cross the boarder right now. Great hiking right by the property. Grocery store is close and property has a private chef if you’d like to hire her services. Our only disappointment really was twisted carrot. We tried twice to eat in /order out and we’re told even for ordering out (inquired at 1pm for dinner) that they could not accommodate our group size. And there were plenty of other delicious options.
All around, we loved it! I would highly recommend especially for larger groups. Thanks Yuri, Jess, and Robert for hosting us!
