Bolton Landing, NY - my introduction to Up Yonda Farm came courtesy of the Lake George Winter…read moreCarnival, which included a naturalist-led snowshoe hike in its activity lineup. Although we didn't make the tour (sold out), we drove up anyway to see if we could rent snowshoes to hike the trails on our own. Fortunately, there were plenty of snowshoes to go around - including kids/toddler sizes! - despite the tour group before us which I was afraid would clear out the snowshoe racks. But that was not at all the case! Rick and Linda at the Center could not have been lovelier or more helpful. Rick walked us through the trail map, pointing out where the tour group had gone (who would've broken in the snow for us), and being mindful of the fact that we were hiking with a small child who may or may not have a meltdown somewhere along the way, and how far into the hike it is likely to happen, from experience. I pulled out AllTrails to help with navigation, and Rick told us he actually created the GPS tracks for the property in the app! There are 3 miles of hiking trails across the 73-acre property, well marked with blazes and easy to follow. The woods were so beautiful and serene in the fresh snow. My child enjoyed the StoryWalk on the Sugar Trail and had me read the story to him. In addition to the educational exhibits in the farmhouse welcome center & museum (including some cute turtles!), the Center offers a variety of environmental education programs throughout the year (birds, butterflies, wildlife, night sky, hikes, field guides, crafting, seasonal events, etc.). It is now maple sugaring season so you can learn about the process and visit the sugarhouse when it's open. In the summer, you can see the butterfly garden, picnic by the pond, and explore the grounds with vistas of Lake George. We loved our visit to Up Yonda Farm, and the snowshoe hike turned out to be the highlight of our weekend. What a magical experience for all seasons!

I recently visited Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center for their maple-making tour and…read moreabsolutely loved it! This was my first time visiting and it was such a fun experience. The snowy setting made it even more special. We walked along a path through the woods while learning about how maple syrup is made. It was really interesting to hear about the history of maple sugaring and see the progression of tools that have been used over time. One of my favorite parts was the tasting. At the very beginning we got to try raw maple sap, and later we tasted the syrup fresh after it had been made. It honestly changed my mind about maple syrup -- I used to not like it, but tasting it fresh made me appreciate it so much more. There is plenty of parking, and the bathrooms are right next to the parking lot. After parking, you walk up to the main house to check in. The tour starts off to the side of the house near a fire pit, which was a nice gathering spot. At the end of the tour they served French toast sticks with different maple syrups to try, which was delicious and a perfect way to finish the experience. Overall, this was such a fun family-friendly event. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique outdoor activity and a great way to learn about maple syrup!

FJB Enterprises is hands-down the best excavator and contractor in the area…read more Fred is an absolute pleasure to work with; professional, creative, and incredibly easygoing. Communication was always prompt and crystal clear, and every step of the process was laid out in detail so there were no surprises. We received great rates, and the value of the work far exceeded the price. The entire experience was completely stress-free, and the quality of workmanship is second to none. I've had FJB Enterprises excavate two large mountainside properties, and Fred's creativity truly transformed rugged wilderness into breathtaking, livable works of art that we'll always cherish. Beyond excavation, his team's construction work was equally outstanding, precise, efficient, and beautifully executed. If you want top-tier quality, fair pricing, and an excavator who genuinely cares about your vision, look no further than FJB Enterprises. They've earned my absolute trust and highest recommendation.

There are two prominent features in the park. The first is a statue of a serviceman wearing his helmet, a backpack, and carrying his rifle. The second is a big stone wall inscribed with the names of the local patriots who died in combat, stretching from the French and Indian War into Iraq, Afghanistan, and ongoing actions across the globe. The center panel is inscribed with the words of the third stanza of the 1854 poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

My experience with this company was marked by poor communication, missed commitments, and billing…read moreissues. I first met with them on 11/3. Prior to that appointment, numerous messages asking for a time went unanswered. On 11/3, I signed a contract for $5,900 for a chimney liner and hearth installation and paid the required deposit. The balance was paid in full shortly thereafter. I was told the project would be completed by 12/18, or sooner if they could "squeeze me in." A chimney liner was installed on 11/24, and I was specifically told the 12/18 completion date for a functional wood stove remained unchanged. The company was aware from the first meeting that the wood stove was my only permanent heat source. On the morning of 12/18, after multiple phone calls, texts, and emails asking when they would be arriving, I finally received a text stating that I was actually scheduled for 12/19. At that point, I was also informed that they did not yet have a plan for the hearth and had not even ordered it. Later that day, I was told the hearth was on backorder and that the delay was not their fault. However, documents later produced by the company showed the hearth was not ordered until 12/22. The hearth was finally installed on 1/14, nearly a month after the promised completion date. To make matters worse, I later received a separate bill for $855 for the hearth despite receiving no prior notice, authorization request, or approved change order for additional charges. There was also an $800 allowance in my estimate for chimney tear-out work that ultimately was not required, and a $250 charge for sealing around the chimney that was never performed. Mistakes and delays can happen on any project. What I found unacceptable was the lack of communication, the shifting explanations, and the billing disputes that followed. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

Exceptional Service! After having committed to purchase a fireplace insert from another company in…read moreChittenden county VT., I discovered that the company was unable to offer a chimney inspection and cleaning before installing the unit. In order to make sure my chimney was safe for install I contacted several sweep Companies. Northeastern not only was the first to respond but they were able to schedule service at a very reasonable price within four days of my contact. The team that responded was meticulous and professional and even agreed to do an additional inspection and cleaning of a second flue in the building on the spot for only a nominal additional charge. Back at the office, Dillion the manager also invested considerable time and effort in helping me consider other available insert options that might be available through Northeastern should I change my mind on the first option. While I decided the original insert was still my best choice, based on the exceptional service Northeastern demonstrated, I chose to have them handle the install and I was not disappointed. The install team not only picked up the unit, an exceptionally heavy one weighing in at almost 600 Lbs from the other retailer, but as a team of only two moved it up over a set of stairs and into its final location. In conclusion I would recommend this company highly to anyone seeking chimney services and will continue to use them in the future for not only routine inspection and maintenance services but any other that is needed!
