The owner upgraded our room so we were facing Lake George. Our room was beautiful with a balcony. We sat in the room and watched three deer by the lake. The manager was very prompt and helpful with a small issue we had.

Great views, now find a dust cloth
The room was beautiful, but only superficially clean. The fan above the bed was coated in chunky dust. I dropped an ear bud and it rolled under the bed. Getting down on the floor, the dust bunnies were HUGE and ubiquitous. Invest in a swiffer, please! The room, view, and linens were comfortable. The blinds being on the outside of the French doors is a huge miss. I had to go outside to close the blinds, which would be horrible in winter. It also did not make me feel safe as a solo female traveler, knowing that others could manipulate the room blinds from outside, and there was nothing I could do about it. The views were spectacular, but the furniture on the porch was covered in pine needles, demonstrating that no housekeeping had been done on the porch prior to my arrival. Overall a nice room, but at the price point of over $300 per night in the "shoulder" season of Lake George tourism, I expected better.

The three beautiful guest rooms are above a 5-star restaurant. The bed in our room was super comfy! The location of the property is great because you can walk into town for shopping or eats. Their little beach and dock are in a well-protected area of the lake and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The management went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The only awkward thing is if you want to stroll down to the water in your bathing suit during the dinner period, you will pass through the dining people. This is likely because of having more diners outside due to the virus. However, this could be easily remedied with a pathway between the property fence and tented area, as there was room. I will definitely return to this beautiful property!

We stayed here two nights. The Chateau has 3 rooms; 2 with lake view, one without. What really makes this place special is the amazing view. Our room (with a lake view) was also peaceful and quiet. Main issue was that heat didn't work. Owner did come (it was 11pm) and tried to fix it but couldn't. He brought a portable heater (kind of noisy). I can't blame him for the problem I guess - He was responsive and did try to fix it - but first night was not 100% good because of it. The room was spacious, high ceiling. Cleanliness was ok - lots of dust under the bed and some cobwebs. The property has only 3 rooms, so maybe no one cleans it during the week. The restaurant in the property (Manhattan prices) does have amazing food. We roasted Marshmallows in the private years at night. So over a very nice experience, I would go again - but only for a room with a view; that's what makes this place special

AngelosK Thank you for the feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. Again, my apologies for the heat, we keep spare heaters and ACs just in case. We did figure out the issue by the way, the room next store had their AC on, the way we "had" the system set -up was all rooms had to be in the same mode (heat or AC). Your room on heat and the room next-store on AC through the system into default mode. We have fixed that issue. The dust and cobwebs, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have reviewed this feedback with our housekeeping staff and have given them a new check-list to make sure they stay on top of that, again thank you for bringing attention to this matter. My wife is actually allergic to dust and this is one area she is very upset about and is on top of this. Thank you. Thank you for joining us in our restaurant, we appreciate the kind comments. We look forward to seeing you again.

After all it’s a guesthouse and not a hotel. Location is good but there were no receptionist or someone to talk with all we got is a text message stated that our room is ready and the key is in the door. We stayed for two nights,second night was bad ,they have a restaurant downstairs and for some how they left the music on all night till 9am in the morning I was almost going to call 911. First day we showered with hot water but next day we did not have a hot water it was Nearly cold to warm. Very uncomfortable stay. I won’t recommend.

Abe, I wish you would have txt me. I send my personal cell phone number to all guest for check-in so there is a direct line to the owner. I can't think of any better way to have any issues resolved than having the owners personal cell number? I can't fix it if I don't know about it. I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay and I am sorry I didn't know about your issues.

Fantastic lakeside getaway. Not at all like all the other hotels around the lake. Classy, quiet, and secluded. They only have 3 rooms, and they are above the restaurant. No front desk but Buddy was attentive if we needed anything. Great place to relax and catch your breath.

Uncaring
I had a death in my family and tried to get even a partial refund— not only did that not happen but management’s attitude was rude and uncaring?

Response from Ed on 19 Jun 2019
Cici I thought we discussed this and resolved the issue? I’m very sorry for the tone, as described working w Expidia (whom owns Hotes.com) on the communications is challenging to communicate through them as the customer service reps we work with on the hotel side of the customers service are very difficult to understand and work with. we forget when we are talking w them that they are they are the intermediary between us and the customer. It’s so frustrating when we are on the phone w them, it’s hard to keep in mind the customer. A poor excuse but a true one. we hope we have the chance to make this up to you.

UNIQUE ROOM BY THE LAKE
Rented this room because i I was looking to get away from distraction & stress. This was PEEFECT! The details in the room: fireplace, the view, the cute pillows, the cool shower, robes & slippers, etc were also cozy! Best sleep I’ve ever had, bedsheets were GREAT! The view of lake tied it altogether! The staff was impeccable! I’ll definitely be coming back SOON!!
