We spent a tone of time on the beach which had everything we needed from life jackets, kayaks, firewood, chairs, etc. Everything was clean and cozy.

I posted another review about Josh's fantastic service for my boiler several months ago. When my…read moremini-splits stopped blowing cold air, I knew Josh would be the one to call. He fit me into his packed schedule (of course the units picked the first hot spell of the season to act up), diagnosed a refrigerant leak, and set about fixing it. If you're not familiar with mini-split systems, the difference between them and central air is that where central air cools air at the condenser unit then circulates it through your house, mini-splits circulate refrigerant, cooling the air at various "head units" throughout the house. The advantage is that mini-splits are easier and faster to retrofit into old buildings. The disadvantage is that there are many more places for a refrigerant leak to hide. Josh filled the system with UV dye and came back late in the evening to check for leaks. He found a couple of egregiously loose fittings---a sure sign of shoddy installation by the other company that had installed the system. At this point, he suspected there were probably loose fittings elsewhere. He's keenly aware of how expensive refrigerant is, and how bad it is for the environment when it leaks. With that in mind, along with the fact that the heat spell had broken, he suggested we hold off on refilling the system until he could come back and do a full system walkthrough. When he came back, he pressurized the system to its max with Nitrogen, so he could check for leaks without wasting refrigerant. It just so happened to be the hottest day of the year (so far), but that just made him more determined to get the system running for us. He worked thoroughly but quickly and got our system running better than I think it ever has. I'm profoundly grateful for his hard work and dedication. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any HVAC work you need done.

I've been trying to get in touch with Josh for months but he hasn't returned phone calls, texts, or…read moreemails. Josh left a partially installed mini split system unfinished in our home. I can't get any other contractors to finish his work because it was done with obsolete equipment. Get in touch with us, we really need this system finished before we move!

I contacted Rich Waller at McDonald Real Estate Professionals here to help line up a place to stay…read morefor a family vacation in the Adirondacks. The area is beautiful, and we had a great trip, notwithstanding the accomodations. Rich assured me that the house would be in perfect condition for our visit. We agreed to pay more than we wanted based upon this committment. The house we rented was on Forbidden Forest, which is just north of the town of Bolton Landing. It sits on a hill overlooking Lake George, and even had a large teepee, which the boys loved. However, when we showed up, the house was a disaster. It was obvious that the house had not been cleaned. There were dishes throughout the house, the carpet was dirty, the towels were dirty, etc. The worst part (so we thought) was that my wife found two sets of dirty mens underwear, one on the night stand and the other in the restroom. We took a deep breath, cleaned the house, and decided we would not let this affect our vacation. That night, when we got into bed we found crumbs in the sheets. So we now stay up for another two hours washing the bed linens. Not a deal killer yet, but extremely underwhelming. Next day, we come home after a full day of picking apples and bike riding. Again, I emphasize that the area is beautiful, and a great place to have a family vacation. The power to the television and computers is down. We called the house caretaker, he is very responsive, comes over and figures out the electrical switching and we are back in business. But we are scratching our heads at paying nearly $400 per night for a dirty house which is having electrical problems. Next day, we do an epic hike up Cascade Mountain, have a great time touring the Olympic village of Lake Placid, and return absolutely exhausted. To a house with no hot water. We call the caretaker, who comes over and tries to fix the hot water heater. He thinks he has it fixed, but it immediately goes down again and will not restart. At this point, my wife is livid. We are all exhausted, covered in sweat and grime, and freezing from a very cold shower. Did I mention that we are paying nearly $400 per night for a dirty house with faulty electrical and now no hot water? I call Rich Waller the next morning to discuss these issues. I also call the caretaker. The caretaker is very apologetic, tells us the furnace and hot water heater are desparately in need of cleaning, and the owner has workers out at the house the entire next day (the day we planned on relaxing around the house). Rich apologizes and says he will get with the owner to "try to work something out". We're leaving the next morning, and we do not hear back from Rich. So I drop the keys off at McDonald Real Estate's office and try to reach Rich again. No luck. We try later in the day when we get to NYC. No luck. I'm trying to confirm they received the keys (no one was at the office when we dropped them off), and to see if he has spoken with the owner. We fly back home the next day, I finally reach Rich in the afternoon and he states that the owner is willing to knock $50/day off the rate, and won't budge. They send a refund check, and won't discuss further. In fact, they accuse us of making this up. Notwithstanding that the caretaker has been out to the house three times and witnessed all of this. As I mentioned, the area is beautiful, great place for a family vacation, and we encountered many friendly, beautiful people. However, the response from McDonald Real Estate and Rich Waller left much to be desired, and I would not recommend staying at the house on Forbidden Forest unless you can confirm that the house has been cleaned and that the utilities are in good working order.

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.

My friends and I rented a property with this management company. The way they handled situation…read moredescribed below is unacceptable and unprofessional! Please read below and see attached screen shots. SCAM!!! Book Elsewhere! Broken Jacuzzi!!! Please read till the end! Very disappointed with this property and the management office. My friends and I booked this property 6 weeks in advance. The only reason that we booked this house is for the Jacuzzi that was nonoperational. We were advised by management that Jacuzzi is broken at 7 PM of the check in date. As the check in is at 4 PM I am not sure as to why we were not notified earlier in the day. Management did advise that the owner feels bad and that they would refund $200 for our troubles. Now keep in mind that majority of the properties in the area charge $150-200 per night on average if there is a Jacuzzi tub on the property. We did send an email to management requesting for someone to come and fix it or a fair refund for broken Jacuzzi tub. Its only fair that for 3 nights of stay that we booked we are to receive $450. Well, the management came back and said that they are not responsible for any nonoperational appliances and left it at that. At that point we were very disappointed, but we decided not to let this get to us. Next day we have discovered that the freezer and fridge is not working as well. By the time we realized it was broken all the food in the fridge was starting to smell foul the items in the freezer melted. We quickly took everything outside in attempt to save our food but in the morning realized that out efforts were pointless. Everything got spoiled (all the meat, cheese, milk and other perishables). Oh, and we did reach out to management that night of discovery that the fridge was broken only to receive a snarky response:" What can we do for you today?". Management did not send anyone out to fix the fridge nor apologized for the inconvenience. Also, there is no guard rail on the staircase leading to the basement which is very dangerous. Besides the major problems that are described above, there were few other issues. There were no trash bags, the heater in the basement did not work,the lighting outside of the house did not work, multiple light bulbs when out on the day of the arrival, some blankets did not have duvet covers on them (which means that they were not clean) and in edition to all the floor in the house was not clean upon our arrival. On the date of the check-out, we unfortunately misplaced the only key for the house so we all spent additional time looking all over the house so we can find it. Well little that we know that cleaning crew was standing outside waiting. We apologized for taking more time and as they were "Cleaning" caped looking for the key. When we finally found the key, we proceed to leave the house. On the way out my friends overheard the one of the cleaning crew saying:" Those STUPID people won't leave!" very loudly. One of my friends asked the cleaning lady:" Why did you call us stupid". To which she responded:" Coz you are taking too long". I am guessing she took offence to us asking since we received a call from management asking us to not harass the cleaning staff. In conclusion we were also accused of cracking a counter top, apparently leaving bleach stains on bed sheets (obviously no one did laundry in rental property so that is a ridiculous claim) and a ripped seat cushion (can simply be sewed up in 2 min or new one is $5 in Ikea) We never got our promised $200 for broken Jacuzzi. They ruined the trip; they ruined the vibe. This property is a SCAM!!! If you do end up renting this property take pictures of EVERYTHING!!! Because they will be looking for the reasons to not refunds your security deposit.
