Stay at Lake Desolution
Posted Sep. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayOverall we had a great stay at the Timber Wolf Lodge Cabin. Our group stayed there for a concert in Saratoga and the ride downtown was fairly quick. The Timber Wolf Lodge was exactly as listed and has a very homey feel to it. Lake Desolation is absolutely beautiful and canoeing was a lot of fun. Would stay again! Thanks Robb!

Comfortable cabin
Posted Aug. 16, 2023 on HomeAwayThe cabin is a nice place to stay, it is clean, quiet and comfortable. Kitchen has all you need to cook and plenty of room. The living room is comfortable with internet TV. Front room has dining table with view of lake. Nice deck outside with table and chairs with a gas grill. Fire pit outside is nice for evening fire. Bedrooms 2 downstairs and bed upstairs are comfortable. The lake is nice about a 5 minute walk to dock, it’s a little bit of a hill down so take small steps.
There is no dishwasher or microwave in kitchen, but hey your in a beautiful setting on a lake with woods and birds all around you its a cabin so enjoy life and relax.
Saratoga is less than 20 minutes away. There is plenty to do there with the track, dining, shops. Wineries close by also.
We will be back to stay there again. Very happy with our stay there. Nice and relaxing.

Weekend in the woods
Posted Jun. 22, 2023 on HomeAwayStayed here to attend a concert in Saratoga Springs with friends. it's a cabin in the woods, directions were hard to follow especially late at night. GPS coordinates would have been useful. It's very cottagy, a bit dusty with insects and cobwebs. Potable water although not great water pressure in the shower. Kitchen seems to be well stocked. Wifi works well. It was too cold to go to the lake.

Hi, sorry that you had some trouble with the directions that we provided, as stated previously, GPS would not get you to the cabin, many guests have attempted to ignore our printed directions and have gotten lost. The cabin was cleaned/sanitized and inspected just prior to your check in time of 4:00, but, yes, it is a cabin in the woods, so sometimes insects/spiders tend to move quickly. Also pollen from the trees does cause a bit of dust at times.
We will check out the water pressure? No one has ever mention that, maybe the shower head needs cleaning, thanks for letting us know, we will get right on it.
Thanks for choosing to stay with us.

Better than expected
Posted Jun. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayPhotos do not do this cabin justice - it has plenty of charm and is very comfortable to spend time in. Once you figure out how to make your way in/out it is easy and quiet to live in. No dishwasher or microwave but kitchen is sufficient to support cooking and baking if you’re inclined. A great getaway.

Not so desolate
Posted Oct. 19, 2022 on HomeAwayThe area is pretty hard to get to and the check-in process is a bit odd; they just leave the house open with the keys on the counter. The cabin is cute, but the area is pretty ugly (other than the lake) and packed with other cottages. Dogs were constantly barking and we even ran into a very rude neighbor. We didn't feel like we had much privacy; on top of that the lake is down a steep rocky path, but at least we could see the lake from the cabin.
The cabin itself is cute and mostly clean. We were told to bring our own sheets and when we were making the beds we found a bunch of mice poop. There were also plenty of bugs in the shower. For a place that seems so strict about its "cleaning fees," it left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. It gets cold at night; the cabin is heated by a wood-burning stove (which is charming) and/or through a large propane tank. There is no microwave and the oven does not work properly. The owner seems reachable, but we hardly communicated. They also only left a "starting" amount of wood for the stove with instructions saying that if we wanted more to heat the home we would need to purchase it down the street. Watch out if you are tall - the ceiling is very low downstairs. The wifi is solid though.
Overall, the stay was poor; the location and amenities were not as advertised. Luckily, Saratoga Springs is nearby. You will need a car - Ubers/GPS won't be able to find this place.

In the infromation that was forwarded, we do say that the door will be unlocked prior to your arrival and the key will be on the counter. Not sure what is meant by "the area is pretty ugly"? there is an great view from the deck out over the lake and at the time you were there, the leaves were changing, the property is pretty private, cabin is surrounded by trees? Not sure whose dogs were barking? but if you had reached out to me, I would have found out and reported them if necessary. As stated in the information provided to you, the lake front is located down a pathway, a short 3-5 minute walk down a very gradual slope, by no means steep. Yes our policy, for the past 12 years has always been that the guests have a choice of providing own sheets and towels OR there is the option of having us peovide them at a rate of $25. per guest.(clearly stated on the rental site). This is a rustic cabin, it was cleaned just peior to your arrival, very surprised that mice/bugs had entered the cabin just prior to your arrival and make a mess? Also, cabin is heated by a propane heater in the kitchen area, electric baseboard heat in each bedroom and bathroom and a woodstove with enough wood provided foe 2-3 days. You should have contacted us if you had any problems, the toaster oven works fine and no other guest ever mentioned that the main oven did not work properly? but I will check it out now that I know that there might be a problem. All information was emailed to you 2 times in regartds to additional wood/following written directions because gps will not take you the correct way/bringing linens and towels/etc. Once again, we should have been notified of any problems and we would have responded quickly.

lakeside retreat
Posted Sep. 9, 2021 on HomeAwaywalk to cabin was short but down a small hill. we were traveling with a handicap person so it was difficult for him. inside of cabin was spotless and beautiful. (ceiling a little low. kept hitting my head. my mistake was not reading the description better. picture of the dock gave me the impression the cabin was on the lake. we walked down to the deck (another slippery walk) and enjoyed a lovely sunset. everything worked well in the cabin including the wi-fi. overall we enjoyed our stay

Great Lake House
Posted Aug. 16, 2021 on HomeAwayThe TimberWolf Lodge was an adorable house with quaint and cozy features. The lake was warm and calm and all the people sharing the docks nearby were friendly and considerate. It was a peaceful and quiet getaway, with all the attractions we could have wanted within a short driving distance! We will definitely be back again.
