There are bunk rooms on the lower level which has a walkout to the lake. There is also a working woodstove on this level. In the summer, there is an outdoor shower on this level which is lovely to use after a swim in the lake.

Any special requests, we are happy to try to accommodate - especially for special occasions.

Note that the lake is very peaceful and quiet. This is not the party scene of Lake George. This is the place you go for pristine water, great fishing, refreshing swimming and an early morning spin in the kayak. Guests are asked to be respectful of the surrounding neighbors as it is a small community.

We look forward to giving you a memorable and enjoyable stay and hope you enjoy the Valentine Lake experience as much as we do.

Ski Trip

The house was decorated so nicely and everyone had cozy beds. We were 30 min from Gore mountain. The teens all stayed in the basement and loved the huge screen to watch movies and play games. The adults had the main floor. We played cards, made dinner, and made a fire. It was perfect. The host responded very quickly to our one question about snow removal and all was great. I would come back again.

Beautiful home and location

We had a great stay here! The home is beautiful and we loved being right on the pond - took advantage of the kayaks, canoes, fishing poles and our kids swam every day. The home had everything you could imagine and we appreciated the extra touches. Our kids loved movie night with the projector.

Fantastic Place!

We can't say enough great things about this place and our stay! The property is beautiful, and the owners have gone to great lengths to make sure every detail is meticulously thought of. It's such a comfortable place with all of the amenities you'd want in the home. It would take too long to list everything, but we've booked alot of vacation rentals and have never seen such detailed attention. You'll have everything you need. The lake is beautiful and there's everything you'd ever want to enjoy the water. Sitting at the firepit every night with our grandkids roasting marshmallows and telling stories was certainly a highlight. The true test of an owner's commitment to their guests is when things go sideways on a visit. And we had a moment during the week. A mammoth storm hit and caused one of the longest and most widespread power outages in the area has seen in years. Jessica kept in constant communication with us, following up with the power company and helping us to get their generator running, Heck, even her Dad stopped by to make sure we were ok. The incredible level of service and care to make sure we were ok, especially for something that was completely out of their control, was impressive. What did it for me was when we were checking out and my adult son gave me a hug and in spite of all the weather and power challenges simply said to me, "best vacation ever"! And we were all in agreement with his statement. You can't go wrong choosing this property for your stay!

Peaceful, quiet, relaxing and feels like home!

I decided to book this cabin heavily based on the amazing reviews-all of which were accurate. Jess and Clay are very generous and certainly open up their home to you. We are well traveled and I was surprised more than once to see how trusting these owners are. They leave a stocked bar, coffee, tea, spices, pantry items. We brought all of our own alcohol-because we were certain the picture couldn’t be accurate in the listing but it was!! We also brought our own coffee and food, however it was so nice to know that if you needed anything, you could probably find it-down to WD-40! (We fixed some squeaking doors!!). One of our absolute favorites was the selection of kayaks, canoes and rowboat. In the shed there were plenty of extra chairs, life vests, fishing equipment, tubes, cornhole! Jess and Clay (and her parents!) were very responsive when we were all woken up the first day at 5am with a low battery smoke alarm. I gave it 4 stars for the following that we wish we knew: one of the reviews did point this out but clearly we missed it-on the main level inside, there is no comfortable solution for a large gathering-we really wished there was a couch or two so when all 8 of us wanted to be together we could. We spent as long as we could on the porch but the mosquitos ultimately brought us in-citronella candles would have helped!! The pond is murky toward the shore and tall seaweed up to the swim dock-if you go out a ways however it is clear! Overall-highly recommended!!!

A Hidden Gem in the Adirondacks

A cabin on Valentine has it all. Enjoy the perfect Adirondack getaway. A private setting minutes from the Lake George area. Your family and guests will enjoy access to canoeing, swimming, and fishing with direct access to Valentine lake. Enjoy campfire evenings with s’mores or take in the beautiful stars above. A cabin on Valentine offers the opportunity to create the perfect family memory. The cabin is warm, spacious, clean and has all that you will ever need. Communication with the host is excellent and any concerns were addressed to satisfaction. This was our second trip to the Cabin on Valentine and we will be returning.

Beautiful Property and Home

The house was beautiful, beautifully furnished and decorated, and it was appointed with everything you'd need. It could be in a home decorating magazine (and maybe it has been!) The lake was clean, warm, and lots of canoes, boats, and kayaks to use. There were even q-tips, floss, and cotton balls in all of the bathrooms, as well as various skin care, shampoos, etc. You really don't need to pack anything but your clothes! This was one of the cleanest home rentals we have stayed in. The only negatives were that I didn't receive information on how to get into the house and had to reach out at check in time. The owners did respond quickly, but it would have been a bonus to have it ahead of time. The other was that there was no real space for us all to hang out other than the kitchen. There were a lot of chairs, but most of the family commented they would have loved a couch to sprawl out on on the main floor rather than the chairs.

Wonderfully appointed getaway on the lake!

The cabin on Valentine was the perfect getaway for our multi-generational family vacation. The Cabin itself fit all 10 of us comfortably and allowed for plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. The owners, Jessica and Clay, have really thought of every possibly amenity you may need to be comfortable; from coffee makers to kayaks, your indoor and outdoor needs were met. The lake and lake access were very convenient and we all had so much fun swimming, kayaking, and lounging. The cabin is within a reasonable drive to other locations like Lake George Village etc. The owners were gracious in leaving us a personalized note, s’mores ingredients and wine as a welcome. They were also incredibly responsive during a power glitch that was no fault of theirs and generous in making sure we were all comfy. We would highly recommend you stay at this beautifully maintained and stocked vacation spot. Thank you for sharing your gem with us!

Perfect Family Vacation

We all enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. It was easy to get to hikes, and activities. Valentine Pond was perfect for kayaking, and paddle boarding and just sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee while the sun rose. You have an adorable family of turtles that would come check me out every morning, while I sat on the dock. It was easy to get to the towns of Bolton and Lake George but far away enough to enjoy peace and solitude. We enjoyed listening to records and your play list (nice touch) while enjoying cool late afternoon breezes on the deck. The welcome bottle of wine was a nice surprise too. I could go on and on about all the things we lived about your home. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

A hidden gem in the woods

By far, this was our very best VRBO experience to date. The house was lovely with thoughtful spaces and amenities. Our kids loved the lower level bunk rooms with full bathroom, Apple TV projector, and video games. The kitchen had everything one might need to cook as if at home. The bathrooms were wonderful with extra towels and toiletries. We enjoyed the record player, board games, jig-saw puzzles, yoga mats, and s’mores by the fire pit under the winter stars. Perhaps the very best aspect of this rental was the kind, generous, and thoughtful owner who had so much to offer. She was quick to respond to inquiries and questions and was willing to share so much extra - including music playlists and New Year’s Eve champagne. We would give this a 10 star rating if it was possible. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Stellar stay on Valentine Pond!

This was by far the loveliest VRBO property we have ever rented! The location on pristine Valentine Pond is so scenic and the property included so many wonderful amenities (kayaks, canoes, a kitchen stocked with useful appliance/utensils, comfortable beds, books, music, a screened in dining area, an outdoor shower, a large grill, a movie/tv room, a reading loft, and so much more!) The house is beautifully decorated and so comfortable- all of my family (to include young adults and a grandparent) could all find their own space for some “down time” during our week-long stay. We enjoy being outdoors and spent time on the private and floating docks; evening fires at the fire pit; and hiking on nearby Kipp Mountain. We also spent a wonderful day on Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge in Lake Placid as well as rail biking with Revolution Rail in Warrensburg (highly recommended!) The hosts are exceptional and checked in when we arrived to provide their contact info and provided quick responses to all our inquiries. They also provided a wonderful notebook/fact sheet with info and recommendation for nearby shopping, dining, and activities which were spot-on and greatly appreciated (thank you!) This was the best and most enjoyable stay we’ve every had and I hope we can return again soon to this lovely house on Valentine Pond!

This house served as the perfect "home base" for a guys ski weekend at Gore. The mountain is about 30 min away, but a very easy drive. The house is meticulously maintained and is stocked with everything needed for an extremely comfortable stay. Jessica was an absolute pleasure to deal with and several of the guys are already thinking about bringing their families back for another trip.

Lifelong lovers of the Adirondacks, we're fortunate to have found our little peace of heaven here on Valentine Lake. Our family has had ties to this lake since 1957 and have enjoyed many summer and winter nights around the campfire. We're thrilled to be able to share it with other families so you can make memories, too.
