This cottage house was great. What wasn’t fun was on the day we were to begin our vacation on Loon Lake we were contacted by Vacasa that we couldn’t rent the house with only 4 hours before move-in. Fortunately this Takundewide house was available so it all worked out well.
Great stay!
There were many issues with this property, and none were addressed during our stay. There is no mini-blind or window covering on the first-floor bathroom. This large window is directly overlooking the toilet and shower. This is not acceptable!! There is a house next door with a second-floor window looking directly into this bathroom. The toilet is not securely attached to the floor. It banged loudly against the floor/wall. The property is advertised as having a wood burning fireplace. However, there is a sign on the fireplace that it is unusable. This property is managed by Vacasa. We contacted them upon check-in and all they did was send a request to the local staff. There was no response from the local staff throughout our stay. There is a Keurig coffee maker but no coffee pods. There are no basic supplies such as creamer, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. This is an expensive property, definitely not worth the price. Other items of note: The property sleeps 7; however, the kitchen table is small and only has 4 chairs.
This home was immaculately clean with comfortable beds and well equipped. The grounds are lovely. The spiral staircase to the loft is very steep and narrow so it is difficult to take luggage upstairs.
Takundewide is a wonderful, family-friendly setting on the absolutely beautiful Lake George. We have stayed in various Takundewide cabins, including 28, for more than 25 years. This year, we found 28 to be in need of some TLC, especially considering its high price. We shared our concerns with Vacasa. On the plus side, there was plenty of sleeping space for our group of five, and the beds were clean and comfortable.
