Great stay
We loved our stay here. The house was clean on arrival and it was easy to get in. The owner and the local caretaker were very accessible if needed. We loved the pool and especially the included very easy lake access: there are 2 kayaks and a standup paddleboard you can use, and the lake is also great for swimming, as the pool is like 4 feet deep or so, so great for cooling down and fun but not for swimming. The location of this property is great as well for side trips in the Adirondacks (Lake Placid is 1 hour away), and to Montreal (1 hour 40 minutes, depending on how busy it is at the border checkpoint). The furniture and appliances in the house are old(er) but everything works fine and is clean, including the 2 bathrooms. The house also has modern airco in all rooms which was great on hotter days. The one minus point is that the single and double beds are short (like just over 6 feet), and the 2 person beds are double beds and not like queen beds. For tall people like us the double beds were quite narrow for 2 people and not so comfortable for us. Please take this into account when you rent this property. But otherwise we had a great stay, and we would come here again if we are traveling with family in this area.

Fourth of July getaway
We absolutely enjoyed our time at the house. The pool was the highlight of our day, and we made use of it all day long. The house's proximity to the lake was fantastic and very convenient for the family. However, the sliding door needs some attention, and it would be great to have a washer and dryer.

Comfortable and Fun
The house was well stocked, clean, and comfortable - we had fun outdoors and inside on poor weather days. The location was great and offered ample hiking, lake activities and easy access to Plattsburgh. Our host offered a wonderful guide of local attractions and activities. The farmers market on Thursday was a nice way to experience local artists. We spent plenty of time swimming and hanging outside with ample and comfortable outdoor seating and at the lake on the two kayaks, paddle board, and dock. This is the perfect home and location for a family getaway.

Beautiful yard!
We stayed for a week at Caron Hideaway and my family had a great time. The lake was beautiful, the yard is big and the deck was perfect for hanging out and swimming. Inside is accurate to the description/pictures. My young kids loved a chest there full of toys in the area we subbed the play room and we had lots of fun finding insects to catch and observe outside (and some frogs!). Communication was easy and the handyman was very nice but luckily we didn't need him much.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Caron Hideaway! The house was exactly as advertised, can you cannot beat the patio/pool/view! We did another High Peak during our stay, and the location helped us make it an easy day, with a nice relaxing day afterwards. Glen was very helpful, and even accommodated us a day early as our plans changed, which is great! Thank you again for a relaxing family vacation.

Great lakeside location with an old house to stay in
We enjoyed our last minute family vacation at this property. It had amazing views of the mountains and great access to the lake. Like others mentioned, the lake was flooded during our stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the beach as expected but that wasn’t the owners fault. We were still able to fish on the little area available and launch the kayaks and the one paddle board. The listing needs updated as there’s only 2 kayaks and 1 paddle board available. It made us a little uncomfortable getting the kayaks and board out of the abandoned, decrepid building by the lake. There’s really no beach area so much as a launch point for a kayak. The house met our needs for our trip, but it is very old. Bottom line, you must rent this property for the lake access, not the house. The location was incredible. The pool was nice and clean as well. We did appreciate that the house was stocked with essential items like hand soap, trash bags, toilet paper, etc that you don’t always receive with a VRBO. The communication with the owner, Glenn, was great. He provided a lot of information and suggestions before and during our trip. Would rent there again for the right price. Future renters please note there was no Verizon cell service on the property. We had to rely on the WiFi. We had to get our Google map all set up with directions while in the house’s wifi before getting in the car.

Great place for a family vacation
We booked the Caron Hideaway for a family vacation. The house is old and dated, but has everything you need and worked great for us. The house is in a great location, close enough to town to access things, yet far enough away to find peace. The views of Willsboro Bay are beautiful. Unfortunately for us, the beach was flooded so we didn't play in the lake, but there is nothing the owner could do about that. We did have the pool, which was great. The handyman on property (Chuck) is very friendly and helpful. The owner (Glenn) was excellent with communication and provided many suggestions on things to do. Definitely go hike the Rattlesnake Mountain Trail - stunning views at the top! Also suggest going to Ausable Chasm. We ate at the Willsboro Diner and recommend it. Would NOT recommend eating at Indian Bay Marina. Overall, we had a great trip and would recommend the property to other families planning a trip to the area.

Beautiful views and property
We had a wonderful time at Caron Hideaway. We chose this property for the beautiful views and pool, neither of which disappointed. The pool was exceptionally large for an above ground pool and clean. It did need to be filled everyday, but was handled by the property manager, Chuck, who was wonderful to have around. The inside of the house definitely needs some updating. The listing describes the home as rustic, but it really is just outdated. However, the pictures in the listing are accurate so what you see is what you get. We weren't too concerned because we were happy to spend most of our time outdoors on the deck enjoying the views and the beautiful flower gardens, which we really enjoyed. The beach is wonderful but definitely needs to be raked. It did smell a bit by the water which was unappealing but raking it would help allievate that issue. We didn't mind the abandoned houses on the property, however, they are a little spooky. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

This is an older property since it's originally an 1800's farmhouse. If you're looking for all new amenities, keep looking. But if you want a well-cared for place on the lake, it's a quiet and lovely place. The property owner and manager were very responsive.

Very disappointed
We were extremely excited that we thought we had found the perfect location for a family vacation noted by the pictures and the description on the VRBO site, it was expensive but we were lead to believe it was something it was not. We were very disappointed that is not what we found. First the mildew, musty smell was overwhelming. You could see the house and property have been neglected. I know what rustic is, rustic is not dirty. The pool turned out not to be a perk for us. Corner of it is broken and/or caving in. There is no view to the lake due to overgrown brush. The beach was okay, though grasses are growing in it and around it. Steps to beach are a little dangerous really needs a railing of some kind. The bathrooms were clean, but one towel per person for 10 days is really ridiculous. Before cooking and serving our first meal, silverware, dishes, pots and stove needed to be washed. There 5 abandoned buildings located on this property. They are just crumbling away. The deck is spacious and could be awesome but it too is crumbling away. The property is wet from a hose that runs from cellar to the yard, not directed away from the path to walk to the beach. Caron Hideaway needs a through cleaning, everything is covered with a gunky film of dirt, cobwebs and dead bugs, again total neglect.

Unfortunately disappointed
I wish my review could be as wonderful as the previous ones. This is my first negative review I’ve ever had to leave all in my years vacationing but didn’t want someone else’s expectations to be something more or another family’s vacation ruined, I’m not a picky person but some things just can’t be overlook especially with the amount of money you spend plus more for the extra people. I wish I took more pictures or could post some because I feel that pictures are worth 1000 words. After driving over 5 hours and arriving after the 4pm check-in we found the house was not as pictured on VRBO. The inside was as described “rustic” but we were mostly there for the deck/pool/lake. First off, the toilet seat wasn’t even attached to the toilet and could not have been easily fixed. It would need a new seat to fit correctly. This could cause a safety issue especially with the younger children we had with us. The deck and pool were not as pictured. There was no canopy set up or nice lounge chairs to sit comfortably by the pool nor where the table and chairs with the umbrella that were shown in the pictures. The pool was dirty. I wouldn’t let my kids swim in that. I understand Mother Nature perhaps delaying the cleaning but by 4pm you expect everything should be ready for the next guests. We did meet Chuck, the maintenance guy (seemed nice) who lives on property but does not have a vehicle had he needed to replace or get something from the hardware store to fix an issue in the house. He also works at the marina full time and said he’d be over the next night after work to do maintenance which is unacceptable to lose a day of swimming in the pool. Not to mention while on vacation to relax and getaway you don’t want someone around the house doing work around the place. We were given 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel & 1 facecloth (all look to be 15 years old and dingy looking) for the week for showering off the lake/pool with no washer/dryer so we’d have to travel 25 mins to nearest laundry mat, again not something you want to be doing on vacation. There was also hoses leading out the bulkhead door to the basement to pump out what I assume was water from maybe flooding, to the side of the house. With the hose going out through the bulkhead that meant the home was not secure, anyone at any time could come through the bulkhead and up through kitchen door that did not have a lock on it. The grounds were not maintained and so over grown that part of the bushes next to the
