    When planning a trip to Lake George, I came across Cornerstone Victorian Bed & Breakfast. I was skeptical as they did not have many reviews and had a small online presence. I am extremely happy I chose to stay here. My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. The hosts, Doug and Louise are 2 of the nicest, friendliest, hard working people I have ever met. They have set the bar extremely high since this is the first time I have stayed at a bed & breakfast. First, do not expect a modern, sleek hotel when coming here. The house is old, however it is kept in beautiful condition and the age simply adds country charm. It is clean and well maintained. There are only 5 or 6 rooms total here, each are a little different from each other and offer a different experience. My wife and I stayed in the "Victorian". All rooms do have a private bath and I believe they all have air conditioning as well. From the moment we arrived, until the minute we left, Doug and Louise were so pleasant and gracious. They even helped us carry our bags up the stairs to our room. Louise cooks a homemade 5 course breakfast every morning. She is an amazing cook. She is also very accommodating and will go out of her way to make you happy. I left there 2 days ago, and I'm still thinking about some of the food we are here. Seriously, after eating her breakfast, you won't want lunch. She also features a homemade dessert every day. Again, a very nice treat and she's also a great baker. They also offer a beverage bar that is available 24 hours. Included is bottled water, soda, an assortment of different teas, coffee, hot chocolate. As far as price is concerned, I feel they are extremely reasonable. They offer packages in the off season that can't be beat. Doug and Louise..... I doubt that you will ever read this but thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. We will definitely come again when in Lake George.

    A special B&B gem in the mountains. From the beautiful garden flowers to the comfortable, modern but historic bed and large in room bathrooms,, wonderfully serene wrap around porch, WiFi and TV (for those of us that need it),special dessert treat every evening to the most kind and gracious hosts - Doug and Louise - I can't say enough about our 4 night stay. The gourmet breakfast each morning deserves comment all alone! My husband and I couldn't wait for each mornings surprise. That said, if you want a bit more simple or with dietary restrictions Louise will do that too (but seriously - give up the diet just to experience her talent for making each breakfast a gourmet delight) Literally located at the foot of Hackensack Mountain allows for a great morning walk right off the front porch! We also found the quiet town of Warrensburg to be centrally located for short drives (15 minutes or less) for dinners at top restaurants in the Lake George area. Doug was so helpful with restaurant selections - both go to ones and perhaps don't go . Lake George, Bolton Landing, Glen Falls, Outlets, Saratoga Springs - short drives. Lake Placid less than 2 hours and so worth the visit. We've been to several B&B's in many US and European towns and can say with great conviction this is the top one ever! For sure we will be back.

    Oh my heavens! Where to begin?!!! Beautiful setting, gorgeous house, extremely comfortable bed, and breakfast was to die for (homemade, by the way)!!! You get waaaaay more than you pay for here. I was in truly beyond impressed! I have stayed at fabulous 5 star hotels and this by far is one of the tops. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. Truly a wonderful place to honeymoon or just go to relax on your vacation. We will be back!!!

    View from the front- flowers everywhere!

    This is my 8th or 9th summer in a row staying at The Cornerstone Victorian. Owners Doug and Louise are consummate hosts/inn keepers. Their painstaking effort to maintain the inside decor and the stunning gardens in the front and back is apparent. This B&B oozes with old world Victorian charm however they do have 21st century amenities such as free wifi, flat screen TV's, modern bathrooms etc.. There are only 5 guest rooms but all are very comfortable- each room has something unique that makes it stand out. Louise makes amazing sweets for an evening snack/dessert and her 5 course homemade breakfast is out of this world and would cost a fortune on its own in NYC or a fancy resort. I truly can't say enough about how amazing Doug and Louise are- they're a genuine, kindhearted down to earth couple who take pride in pampering their guests with warmth, charm and comfort. After 1 night here I guarantee they'll make you feel like family!

    Doug and Louise were very attentive, never letting anyone go hungry or thirsty, and timed the courses like experts.

    We stayed at Dockside Manor. The property location was fantastic. It is just as depicted in the…read morepictures. We made good use of the fire pit, arcade and pool room, and of course the lake. If you're traveling with young children, you should know that there is no beach area where they can gradually go into the water. The stairs off the dock are the only way in, but our group of non swimming 3-5 year olds did fine with floaties. The only disappointing thing was that there was no shampoo or soap in the bathrooms. For the price of this home, I feel that this should be included. Also, you should know that there are no spices. If you're planning to cook in, which we did every night, you will need to bring your own spices, olive oil, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, crock pot, coffee maker and plenty of dishes. We had a wonderful week! There were 18 of us ranging from 1 to 88 and there was plenty of room.

Properties are beautiful and well appointed but they are notorious for after charges with claims. My recent stay I was not happy that they don't release the address until check in time especially when traveling 3 hours to get there. Overall, the unit was relatively clean, although I did find hair left in the shower and cobwebs in the bunk area. The hot tub had not been cleaned and, despite being covered, was full of leaves and bugs. The shower water pressure was extremely weak and noticeable cob webs throughout the home. Also, the bunk bed is listed as a king bed, which is inaccurate. Despite these issues, I was happy with my stay and was even considering booking one of their properties again. Several days after my stay I discovered an unexpected $500 charge on my credit card with absolutely no notice or warning. When I checked the app to find out what the charge was for, I found a message from the host simply stating: "stained linens throughout the rental." This accusation was both vague and unreasonable. We barely used the rental and only slept in one of the 3 beds and followed all check out rules to leave the unit spotless. To be charged $500 after the fact, without any prior communication, photos, evidence, or opportunity to discuss the issue, was extremely disappointing and has completely changed my opinion of this property management company. After contacting Vrbo to dispute the charge and multiple attempts to contact the property with no response. northern provided photo proof of alleged soiled linens. 1. A kitchen towel/rag that had signs of food on it (washable), 2. A pillow case with a slight soiled spot (washable) and 3. A towel that had dirt marks on it (washable). All issues were normal use and could be washed and definitely did not result in the need to replace: as requested by northern to the extent of 1. 2 pillow shams (only one was soiled) 2. a new comforter which they had no proof of any damage to 3. New dish towel 4. 6 full sets of towels (only one set was even used - they provided 3 total - 1 set for each bed and the unused ones remained folded in place where they were placed by northern) Potential guests should be aware of the possibility of additional charges, inaccurate bed sizes and most important significant post-stay charges and proceed with caution. Inspect every inch upon arrival and before departure and take photos and videos. Or even better. Don't stay at their properties at all.

Service: One server for our party, she was nice but a little oddly for a server she didn't know what ginger ale was and wasn't sure if they had decaf. Our food came out with a pretty big gap between plates, I was finished with mine by the time another in our party got hers. I will say they were very gracious seeing as we were a half hour late. Food: Pretty underwhelming, you could get similar or better food at your local diner. Menu is somewhat limited as well especially for sides and drinks. I got the french toast, it wasn't very moist at all, uninteresting flavor, the strawberry garnish was dried up on the inside so must have been left out for a while, bacon was fine, maple syrup was good. I had a few bites of the omelette which was good and home fries which were on the dry side and without much flavor. Value: It wasn't too expensive thankfully despite being marketed as a 'fine dining experience' I'd say value was about even with the low quality food, french toast was $11. Overall definitely would not recommend, you could get better food at a diner or cafe.

The people at the barn were very friendly and helpful. The trails could have been a little clearer, but it was still an enjoyable ride. There are many other activities you could do, like kayaking, hiking, ziplining, jungle rope, three pools, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and more. The main lodge was a log cabin, with beautiful views and a couple of fireplaces. I had expected the decor inside to be more rustic (Yellowstone-ish), but some areas were not, which was a little disappointing. The food was nicely presented and delicious. But the time it took from ordering to actually getting the food was very long. The meals, I thought, were pricey for what you got. Also, there are two different menus. Ours was the same 3 or 4 entrees for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for the entire 4-day stay. We went off the property for a couple of meals to have something different. There is a gift store on the property, which is in great need of a facelift. The people who work there were very nice and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were easy.

As you arrive you are greeted by the huge barn that says "1000 Acres" The place screams dude Ranch. The resort is cut in half by the road. The horses on one side and the resort on the other. The resort is undergoing some work, but is fully usable with just some rooms being renovated. The barn needs work and it is obvious that it is being neglected. There is a arena for rodeos that goes unused but was busy in the past. The petting zoo is more like look at animals in the fenced in area. The riding is enjoyable, Hedi who handles everything horses, is incredible, but has to deal with promises made by management that cannot be fulfilled. She is knowledgeable, friendly and willing to explain anything despite her busy schedule. Five stars for her and the other barn staff, but then you get to the resort. This place has a reputation as a dude ranch. They advertise a multitude of rides and ride types. They advertise a rich menu (Kosher). "After a full day of ranchin', you're going to be hungry! Our evening dinners offer a variety of delicious menu options to get you ready for tomorrow's adventures." The variety of delicious menu options for dinner is completely false. You have basically 2 options, take it or leave it. We were given Beef every night, if you didn't want that, they would go back to the kitchen to see if anything else was available. I get it, it's a Kosher kitchen, but there is far more than the same cut of beef that is kosher. There is not even courses to dinner. No salad, no bread, just the main dish if you want to eat the same thing every day for a week. That said the Beef was delicious, just not every day. Your lunch options are Tuna wrap, Egg Wrap, Salad and maybe if you are lucky a 4th option that changes. The food is delicious, but the menu needs a ton of work. BBQ Chicken, hamburger or Hotdogs would be welcome additions for a Dude ranch. The truth is Management has no idea what they are doing. The manager Joseph, who gladly introduces himself as the owner, has no knowledge and no desire to learn about horses, barn animals or anything this place is known for. The manager proudly tells you the resort was headed in the wrong direction then he took over. His direction as he states "to make this a place where jews going between Montreal and NYC can stop to rest and get a Kosher meal." That's great then advertise it as such. There is no posted schedule for activities. You have to ask as they are only open at certain times. The pools are open, there are kayaks and River tubes available at the shore. Everything else you have to ask when you can do it, that is if they even know. The staff is excellent. They are friendly, and do their able best to make sure you enjoy yourselves. It is obvious that they are hindered in this by management. Quite a few staff members told us that our concerns were common and constantly brought up to management. Management then turns a deaf ear. The resort has so much potential. It is on beautiful property. Again they need to decide are they a dude ranch or a Kosher resort that happens to have horses. As a side note, there is no cellular service on the property. The nearest signal is 2.5 miles away in either direction. They claim the Wi-Fi covers the whole resort however the guest Wi-Fi is spotty at best and only works when near the main resort building. If you rely on a cell phone for anything or need to be constantly connected, you are out of luck here.

The room had two king beds, a small miracle for a man accustomed to one, and the soundproofing was a triumph of human engineering. Even with Oktoberfest raging below, once the balcony door was closed the silence was so complete that I could almost hear my own thoughts apologizing for existing. The hotel sits right on Canada Street, which is the main artery of Lake George's little heart. Shepard Park is practically across the street, full of families, music, and the particular chaos of people on vacation trying to have a perfect time. The staff managed to stay cheerful through it all, smiling with the kind of sincerity that must come from good training or good souls. Parking was a game of Tetris, but I was grateful for the garage. Once my car was wedged in, I had no reason to drive again. Everything that mattered was within walking distance. The rooftop terrace deserves a poem, though I am too lazy to write one. The lake spread out below, blue and calm, and for a few minutes I believed in peace on earth. There is no hot tub, which feels like a crime against nature. The patio outside the pool almost begs for one. Imagine sitting there in January, snow falling into the water, steam rising like forgiveness. The restaurant did not thrill me, and the prices made my wallet flinch. Still, it was a fine stay, the kind that makes you feel momentarily better about the human race before the bill arrives to remind you of reality. Four stars. A lovely place, too expensive for what it is, but worth remembering all the same.
