We had a great time during our stay at the Mill House and in the surrounding Lake George/Saratoga Springs Area. The house itself is beautiful and it is good value for the price.
However we felt that the house is held back by a few issues. The bath towels provided are super small - somewhere between hand towel and bath towel size - and would not be comfortable once winter is in full swing. Additionally, the electric stove has probably seen better days and should be replaced. It took me 10 minutes and a look through an online instruction manual just to figure out how to turn it on and a further half an hour to cook 4 pancakes because it just never got hot enough. Perhaps the biggest problem was the flies in our room - the lookout - which are pictured below. There were five or so clustered on our window in the morning and they made the room seem dirty.
I feel like these were minor issues, but the biggest hold up for this house is the host. Alex was extremely unresponsive when we left some Tupperware in the house and returned to retrieve it after we checked out. Additionally, he messaged me after our stay and told us that anything less than a 5 star review was a 'bad review'. After letting him know my feedback on the house (everything above) he promptly blocked me (I think) and then left a superficial negative review of me in retaliation to my four star rating. I wouldn't recommend this place now for all the above reasons. read more
