This was a great trip for two families! Beautiful scenery and peaceful. The only thing that was a bummer was the hot tub wasn’t working and there were a few dirty plates put back with the clean plates. Other than that, it was very clean!

My family had a great time staying at this cabin. There was a sandy beach area for my 3 year old to play and the water was shallow enough for my 7 year old to play in the water while I was still on the beach area. My son and husband enjoyed the fishing.

So many good things about this property that just needs a little love

There were many things to like about this property but also many areas that needed some love. For example, we loved the beach area. It was great for our toddlers but the dock was dangerous with rotting boards. We also had to use Gatorade bottles to cover the dock stakes so the kids couldn't get hurt. Another example is the fact that somebody took the time to rake the sand, but there were rotted hammocks and broken clothes lines hanging from the trees that made the place look trashy. Brand new hot tub but it didn't get to temperature until Sunday when my family was leaving. Loved the sleeping area with the bunk room for the kids but there were no curtains and it didn't get dark until well after the kids bedtime. The lake is very quiet with lots of fish and the water is clear. Overall, provided us with a relaxing week but I think with a little bit of love this cottage could really be amazing!

This property was a bit misleading, if you ask me. On the edge of the woods. We had ticks. Lake area had sand to play in, but too weedy / dirty to play in the water. House has some very nice upgrades, in a few areas. It is outwardly cute, but was not well kept. All rugs were full of sand and / or hair. There were tons of "dust bunnies" under beds, even some dirty clothes left by past renters. HOWEVER, I will say, the property manager was very quick to respond. She sent her cleaner back, but the cleaner did nothing. Hot tub was very clean, just a small amount of sand in bottom. The problem with that was it never got hot, warm, but not hot. The manager said she had a call in for repair and she did graciously refund some money for that. All in all, the family made the best of it, but was not at all up to the excellent ratings we saw.

We had a good time. Weather didn’t cooperate but no fault of anyone obviously. Has everything you need for a week stay. Life jackets, sand toys, water boards, boats, kayaks and accessories. Kitchen furnished, plenty of linens and beds. Everywhere we went people were great. Helpful and kind. Firewood at the hardware store if you need it a few minutes down the road. DG and local convenience store around the corner from the hardware store as well. The town is slipping my mind but it’s by lake George.

Week @ Whistlestop on Silver Lake

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our week at Whistlestop on Silver lake. It was clean and cozy yet plenty of room for all of us to cook, dine and sleep. I would have to say most of our time was spent reading and relaxing on the large porch. The lake was perfect for swimming and kayaking as well. Minor issue in that the garbage disposal stopped working a couple of times during the week. I would also like to recommend that the owner either repair or replace some of the beach/bonfire seating. Other than that our week was absolutely wonderful.

Perfect Winter Getaway!

This place was just what we were looking for - a perfect little winter getaway. The lake view is really special and and we definitely took advantage of the hot tub and the walking trails. Highly recommend! (Also I should mention the host was incredibly accommodating with an early check-in due to a winter storm, extending our stay an extra night due to illness, and even helping us find a tow truck in the very early morning when our vehicle wouldn't start.)

Private lake getaway

The private little corner lake spot is great for rest and relaxation. Rocking in the chairs on the front porch, kayaking the lake observing wildlife, relaxing in the hot tub, and enjoying a hot shower and great night sleep. Amazingly refreshing vacation!

Perfect Getaway

Had a wonderful week! The beach area and the paddle boats were perfect for the young kids! The hot tub was great for relaxing. Loved the covered porch for the rainy day that we had. Any questions we had prior to our stay were answered right away! Would definitely recommend staying here!
