Amazing Stay in Brant Lake

My friends and I stayed at Hemlock Hill Lodge for my bachelorette. We absolutely loved it! The lodge was so clean and the perfect size for a group of 10. We loved how well stocked the kitchen was and that there was a grill and outdoor furniture. This place really has everything you would want for your trip to Lake George. It’s in a secluded area but only a short drive away from all the things to do around the lake. Highly recommend staying at Hemlock Hill if you are considering a trip!

Wonderful Place

Just as described, this place was perfect for our family. We had busy days exploring and then enjoyed playing games and making puzzles as a family. Plenty of room, yet a cozy feel. John & Lindsay were great with communication and any help if we had questions. If we travel back to the area, we would definitely rent from them again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Great base for family wedding

I rented the house to stay with family for wedding on the lake nearby. The house is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of room at the table for everyone to sit, eat and catch up, but also enough space to spread out in the house too! The owners were thorough with instructions and quick to respond on a couple questions I had when I checked in. I had to scramble to find a house for my group at last minute when another rental fell through and so glad this was available.. it was great!

Simply amazing!

From the check in process, to every amenity you could think of being at your fingertips in the house! A bathroom on every level = game changer. The decor, the layout, the kitchen!! I can’t think of one thing we’d change other than booking longer! John and Lindsay were available at ANY time and that alone shows how much they care. The house was immaculately clean, fully stocked with legit everything! Just bring yourself, your friends and some food! 🍻 Such a peaceful little oasis and I can’t thank them enough for opening it up and allowing guests to enjoy the wonders of upstate NY! Can’t wait to go back in the fall! If you’re thinking about booking, you won’t regret it! This is the house for you!

Relaxing family break

Overall, the stay was enjoyable and a good opportunity for family time. The house was clean and inviting, the beds were comfortable, and there were puzzles and games to enjoy together. The air hockey table quit working on the first day, but there was fortunately foosball and shuffleboard to enjoy. There was no dishwasher, noted in the listing, so bringing some disposable dishes helps for larger groups. The location was away from everything, yet close enough to the conveniences of food and shopping. We had fun fishing nearby, taking a walk down to the brook and seeing a deer out the window.

Fantastic Family get Together.

Renting with John and Lindsay was a real pleasure. The house is perfect for a family get together. A large open area for everyone to be together and plenty of space for alone time. Everything is well documented and John and Lindsay get back to any questions super quick. The house is well equipped with a game room, games, and outdoor equipment. My 11 year old loved the vintage Nintendo in his bedroom. There are lots of nice little touches like this. We loved our stay and experience.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsay McAloney

Host profile image
“Our dream come true, we want to share with you!” We are John and Lindsay and have always dreamed of having a place in the ADKS for our family to make memories. John, an avid outdoorsman who enjoys landscaping, fishing, hunting, hiking and a good craft beer and Lindsay, a high school teacher, theatre director, who loves a good project, are so excited to take on this new adventure.
The home was handcrafted by the previous owner and we’ve enjoyed finishing it and adding our own special touches. Most of the ADK style furniture was handmade by John, while Lindsay’s decorative touches can be seen throughout.

Why they chose this property

John has been coming to the Adirondacks for forever and has always dreamed of having a place here. After bringing Lindsay on a few trips to the area, she quickly fell in love and was fully on board for this new adventure. After looking at multiple homes in areas all around Lake George, they excitedly decided on this area as it is in the middle of EVERYTHING. Whether we want to take the kids skiing, our friends to a brewery, a quick shopping trip, or a fancy dinner, we are in the heart of it all with a short drive to everything. We feel like we've found a diamond in the rough.

What makes this property unique

When looking for the perfect ADK escape, this property boasts it all, which is why we fell in love with it. From the long private driveway. and hearing the stream as you enter the home, to the warm floors under your feet and the welcoming great room. There is a sense of silence, serenity, and coziness that we hope you feel as well.
Sitting on our deck, we can enjoy a sunrise over the mountain or a seasonal sunset over the pond. Our proximity to everything Adirondack is hands down the best, in our opinion, from any of the other homes we found during our extensive search while house hunting.
