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

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.

Adventurous: Cronin's is the place to go (only about 5 miles away) if you love playing golf - fantastic course and great food! Love their hot dogs! 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 2nd-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. with almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed at the living areas: Open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace that reaches the 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, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar, are provided. If you forgot an item, ask!

The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable chair to read in. 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 with 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. Maximum sleeping 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. Additional bathrooms are shared with the Caretakers: 1/2 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.

We only accept dogs. If your dog or dogs are over 20 lbs, please email us to let us know what type of breed your dogs are and their weight prior to your booking. So far, we have had dogs up to 125 lbs.

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.

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!

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!

A cut above!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hermanus Estate! The carriage house is EXCETIONALLY well appointed with high quality furnishings, supplies, and decor. It is obvious that great thought and care went into creating a great experience for guests. The grounds of the estate are magnificent for taking long walks and just relaxing and enjoying the view of the Hudson River. The hosts are friendly, welcoming, and so helpful in sharing their extensive knowledge of the area. The property is perfectly located for visiting the Adirondacks area and close to restaurants and services but is also a cozy, comfortable, quiet retreat to return to after explorations.

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.

Amazingly beautiful property
We spent the most restful, calming, and relaxing long weekend at this beautiful riverside property. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by John who welcomed us and gave us a brief rundown of the property and let us know him and Sue would be there if we needed anything. The house had every ammenity you could possibly need. The views alone from the windows of the carriage house were incredible. Walking the property, whether in the wooded area or along the banks of the Hudson River provided beautiful scenery, perfect for a late summer/early fall mini vacation Thank you to Sue & Ken for their incredible hospitality and wonderful converstaion. We will most certainly be back. Ricky & Susan

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.

Beautiful gem along Hudson River & near Lake George
My family and I just had a glorious 5 days at the house to cap off the kids’ summer break. We were so sad to leave. The house is immaculate, spacious, and has everything you need. You can feel the thoughtful care put into setting up the house. The grounds are stunning and full of lush greenery. You can even see and hear the Hudson River flowing along the side! We had activities near Lake George, which is about a 18 min drive away. Susan, Ken, Sue, and John were all so friendly and accommodating. Susan even dogsat our maltipoo one day. We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely Amazing
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. We were greeted with smiles and best of all, dogs!! The caretakers of the property, John and Sue have 2 dogs. Ruby, a black lab that says Hello any chance she can. Pearl, a 9 week old yellow lab that does nothing but make you smile. We brought our dog, who played with them and enjoyed the property. The property itself is stunning. The river is calming and tranquil. The trails are extensive. Its private, away from main roads and very well maintained. The inside of the rental doesnt do the phros any justice. Its wide open, spotless, inviting, comfortable and has everything you may need. The TV could have been a little bigger (joking, its 75 inches) The beds and furniture are all comfortable. There is AC in each separate room and it worked great. John and Sue are incredible. They were so kind to take us fishing, on rides in the side by side, started fires for us down by the river any night we wanted. They are wonderful, very friendly people. They gave us an extensive, detailed list of places we could go for dinner. This place is special. We cant wait to come back. I cant imagine how beautiful it would be in the winter (only 14 miles to Gore). The fireplace is an absolute dream. We absolutely loved this place and would give it 5 stars. If you are need of service and have Verizon, good luck. The wifi is slightly spotty, but who needs it when you have a place like this to enjoy.

This property is just beautiful.....owners & caretakers are very friendly & willing to make your stay super enjoyable. Could have been my fault too but I did not realize this property was upstairs & that the 1/2 bath was downstairs and in another building. But I digress because the amenities & the little extras included make this a really awesome rental & a place we will surely return too if we visit the area again. Thanks Sue & Ken...

Better than we could have expected!
We stayed at the property over Memorial Day weekend and are so sad to go! The property was even better than the pictures. The space is beautiful, everything is clean and new. Well stocked everything, Giant TV. There’s extra linens, well stocked kitchen, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom, washer and dryer and plenty of storage space. Beds were comfortable. The caretakers Sue and John were beyond! They really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and well cared for. Sue gave us excellent family friendly activities to do everyday - we would have never founds these gems on our own and kept going back to Lake George village and missed out on all the amazing things the Adirondacks have to offer! They set up fires for us in the fire pits for us every day, supplied us with whatever we needed for the day. We generally like to have our own private space without people on the property but they were not invasive at all! Just lovely, lovely people who are here to help. The river was fun to splash around in too. Such an added bonus! Speaking of added bonuses, our son became friends with their dog Ruby - such a sweet dog! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a super memorable weekend.
