Reservations
Takundewide is a residential homeowners association where each property is privately and individually owned. While most of our homes are enjoyed by their owners, we do offer a select few for rental guests to experience the charm and beauty of our neighborhood.
STAY A WHILE. Multi-week guests receive booking priority and discount on each consecutive week in the same cottage. Deeper discounts are available for monthly and seasonal guests. Guest Cottage minimum stays are 1 week (during July and August that is 6 nights, see below). The Mason House minimum stay during July and August is 2 weeks. During the rest of the year, The Mason House is available 1 week or longer.
From the end of June to the end of August, check-ins are on Saturdays and check-outs are on Fridays. This allows a vacancy between guests and gives us the time we need to thoroughly clean and reset the property for the next guest. At all other times, you will stay any 7 nights or longer; check-in on any available day. Your vacation rental will be ready by 4 PM at the latest, we will email you when you can move in. During July and August check-out is Friday by noon; during the remainder of the year, check-out is by 10 AM.
RATES. Based on dates, size of cottage, and location, rates are available upon request. Just email us at: info@takundewide.com or use CONTACT US page to receive your copy. Multi-week rentals have booking priority and receive discounts on each consecutive week in the same cottage. Plus during July and August, multi-week guests enjoy Free Friday nights between the consecutive weeks!
4% Warren County occupancy tax will be added to all rentals of less than 30 days and 7% NYS sales tax will be added to rentals of less than 90 days

MULTIPLE COTTAGE RESERVATIONS FOR A GROUP: To book multiple cottages, consider the shoulder seasons — such as late spring or early fall — rather than in July or August. Summer is our busiest time and multiple cottages are rare. The shoulder seasons offer more flexibility, lower rates, and the same beautiful surroundings to enjoy. Please complete a reservation request form for each cottage that you are requesting and indicate that it is part of a group reservation.
WHAT IS INCLUDED. Housekeeping Cottages are a Lake George tradition. We provide freshly cleaned cottage, furnishings, and professionally laundered bedding and towels; you provide housekeeping and food. Click here for a LIST OF WHAT IS INCLUDED and some suggestions about what to bring.
Prefer your own sheets, towels, and blankets? Rate discount if you supply bed sheets, blankets, bath towels, bedspreads, hand towels, face cloths, bath mat, kitchen towel, dish cloth, and pot holders.
A cleaning fee ($250 plus NYS sales tax) may be charged but it will be waived if you leave the cottage and grounds tidy and follow check-out instructions.
PAYMENT. Deposit (50%) is required with reservation request and held until request is confirmed. Requests for this year are confirmed when received. Requests for next year are accepted any time and confirmed starting in January of following year. Reservations are filled in order request with deposit is received with priority for multi-week stays and returning cottage guests. If request cannot be confirmed, credit card will not be processed and check will be returned or shredded. Checks (made to Takundewide Management Group, Inc.), VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover accepted. $75 fee for checks returned from bank. Balance for cottage and weekly boat space is due 60 days before arrival. Balance for seasonal boat space or mooring is due before May 15.
CANCELLATIONS. Reservations are non-refundable. If you must cancel, we will make every effort to re-book the cottage or boat space/mooring you reserved. If successful, payments made will be refunded (less a $250 service charge). Otherwise, the total amount of your reservation is due. For seasonal boat spaces/moorings cancelled after May 15, if re-booked only the portion of the season remaining will be refunded. Takundewide is a homeowner’s association; each vacation rental and boat space is individually and privately owned. One property cannot be exchanged for another. Changing your reservation from one property to another requires a cancellation of your original reservation and the cancellation policy applies. Refund for original reservation will be available if we are able to re-book your original reservation.

You are responsible for damage to property or for violations reasonably attributable to you, your party, or your guests, of Guest Rules and any other applicable laws, rules or regulations. We love our furry friends, but animals are not permitted to enter rental cottages, The Mason House, or the beach, or to sleep outside overnight. Indicate on the reservation request form that you read Guest Rules and read and sign Town Of Queensbury Short-term Rental Law.
