Unique Adirondack Estate on Hudson River - near Gore Mountain & Lake George

Seasonal Rentals for December 1, 2024, through April 30, 2024, are NOW AVAILABLE. For more information, contact the Host!

Hermanus-on-the-Hudson is convenient to Gore Mountain, Lake George Region, North Creek, Friends Lake, Schroon Lake, Loon Lake, Adirondacks, Americade, World University Games, FISU, with activities of skiing, rafting, biking, and hiking the High Peaks.

Winter Adventures: Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating, hockey AND Winter Carnivals are some of the wonders of winter. Nearby areas to explore: Gore Mountain (about 10 miles away), West Mountain, Oak Mountain, Whiteface Mountain, Hickory Ski Center, Garnet Hill, Coles Woods, North Warren Snowmobile Club, C&C snowmobile Tours, Dynamite Hill Ice Rink, and Adirondack Thunder Hockey are just a few in the area.
Winter Carnivals are in Lake George, Saranac Lake, and Brandt Lake (more will be announced once the final dates are set).

Spring/Summer/Fall fun and enjoyment. Hike the trails and mountains nearby, examine the abundance of flowers springing up in the spring and summer, view the beautiful colors of fall throughout the Adirondacks. I am always amazed each year by the wonderous colors each season has to offer - truly gorgeous!

For Golfers, Cronin's is the place to go (only about 5 miles away). It has a fantastic course and great food! We love their hot dogs! When making your reservation, tell John or Jim (the owners) that Ken and Sue sent you to them.

Starting in early Spring, Square Eddy Expeditions has white water rafting. Are you planning on attending a wedding at Friends Lake Inn? Then, staying at Hermanus is just down the road. Revolution Rail is your place if you love recumbent biking along the Hudson. Hermanus-on-the-Hudson is the place to be!

Hermanus is a private estate (25 acres) located on the Hudson River in Chestertown, NY, surrounded by nature. Hermanus has a unique history, so be sure to check out Hermanus' history on our website, www.hermanus-on-the-hudson.com.

The Adirondack-style second-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. and almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed at the living areas: an open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace that reaches 16-18-foot ceilings.

At Hermanus, you may walk the many trails, sit in or by the river, fish, walk across the Hudson (when the water is low), snowshoe (not provided), or sit by the fire pits (two on-site). In addition, there are puzzles, games, internet Wi-Fi, and a 75" Smart TV.

Wish to dine in: the kitchen has almost everything from major to small appliances and baking supplies. Have your cup of coffee (k-pods or 12 cups) anytime during the day, a toaster, blender, or crockpot. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and knives make preparing meals easy. Ample cupboards and a large refrigerator offer plenty of storage. Paper and cleaning products are provided, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar. If you forgot an item, ask!

The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable reading chair. The adjacent walk-in closet has plenty of hanging space, a washer/dryer, and a small safe for valuables.

The second bedroom has two twin beds and a closet. In addition, there is a small desk and a trundle bed in the "Crows Nest" (loft). This area overlooks the massive living/dining/kitchen area. The maximum sleeping capacity is 6. There is also a travel crib (Graco Pack 'n-Play Dome LX-Playard).

The private bath has double sinks and a walk-in shower. The caretakers share additional bathrooms: a half bath downstairs (through the heated garage) and a full bath (shower) in the heated workshop.

Chestertown is about 5 miles from restaurants, and an exquisite fine-dining restaurant is minutes away. Every town around Hermanus has its unique charm and plenty of activities year-round.

We only accept dogs. If your dog or dogs are over 25 lbs, please email us to let us know what breed your dogs are and their weight before booking. So far, we have had dogs up to 125 lbs.

A Lovely Retreat
Our family loved our time here. It was exactly the quiet we were looking for, and centrally located for the sites we were wanting to visit- Lake Placid, the High Peaks and Lake George. The hosts were exceptional, offering restaurant and activity suggestions, and made us feel very welcome during our stay.

Peaceful Retreat
Wonderful and peaceful setting by the Hudson River. House was clean, beds were comfortable and fireplace was great. Caretakers Sue and John very welcoming and our kids had a ton of fun playing with their dog Ruby who has boundless energy and would have retrieved balls all afternoon. Just a top notch experience and we look forward to coming back.

Quiet and beautiful property. The river and trees covered with snow really made us feel good during the end of the year holiday. I would really like to visit the property again during the summer.

Idyllic cabin on the Hudson
Overall we had a great stay at this place. The property caretakers were friendly helpful. The location can't be beat for it's tranquility. It is remote, so plan on a 25 minute drive if you're heading to Lake George. It's nicely provisioned with everything you'll need to make yourself at home while you are there.

Amazing stay
Hi I’ve been here now two times as I love visiting Lake George. The beds were great. The only issue I had was the wifi was very spotty. I think due to the weather, but it was working about half the time.

Beautiful getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property on the Hudson River. It was spotless and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed. The location is quiet and the river calming. We visited Lake George, Schroon Lake, and Lake Placid. John and Sue were wonderful hosts and the owner Susan was amazing. If our travels bring us back to this area, we will absolutely stay there again!

Weekend excursion for my 60th birthday. I have been wanting to visit the Adirondacks and what a beautiful place to explore. The estate is right on the Hudson River and the views are amazing. The caretakers are more than welcoming. Willing to share favorite restaurants and places to explore. My fur baby enjoyed playing with Ruby & Pearl. Thank you for a great long weekend!

Peaceful getaway
This place was great! Honestly I was slightly nervous because it was an apartment, but it definitely did not feel like it! The place was open and spacious while being cozy at the same time. The caretakers that like in the lower apartment were very welcoming and friendly. Their two dogs were so sweet and the kids really loved them. The property was gorgeous, such amazing views! We went at the end of October so the peak leaves were gone but that didn’t hinder how beautiful it truly was. We can’t wait to go back, already planning our next visit!
