“ Remember…You’re on Vacation“
Food
Where do we get groceries?
The Lake Luzerne Market is located ¼ mile into town to get you started. We have three convenience stores adjacent to The Elms …Cumberland’s Farms, Stewart’s and Joe’s Deli Mart. One block away is a Farmer’s Market with great vegetables and fruit pies. TOPS is 4 miles south in the Town of Corinth and Price Chopper is 15 miles east at Exit 19 off Rte 87 in Glens Falls.
Where do we get beer and wine?
Next door is Bailey’s wines and liquors and The Ledge Rock Hill Winery wine tasting vineyard is 4 miles west in Hadley. Stewart’s and Cumberland Farms offer many beer selections.
Where is the best coffee?
Hard to say, I get a nice cup of Colombian Supreme at Cumberland Farms, people do rave about Stewart’s coffee. All the local restaurants have high quality coffee, and you have a Mr. Coffee in your cottage with filters provided to brew your favorite blend.

Activities
Where can we go swimming?
We have a private beach at The Elms. Please obey the signs, as you are swimming at your own risk. Since you are the lifeguard someone over the age of 18 must be on the beach when you are in the water. In case of emergency, medical care can be found in Corinth or call 911. A first aid kit and CPR mask are in the office. Please do not swim at the docks.
Where can kids play?
Everywhere!!! They have been spotted at our playground area known as The Nest with swings, slides, tether-ball, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball and ping pong. Please drive slowly through the property to prevent injury.
What about fishing license and bait?
What about paddle boats, row boats and kayaks?
They are on a first come-first serve basis. Please follow two rules…put on your life vest and stay in the play area. The play area is defined by the shore line and the beaches. Going past the beaches may cause you to not be able to return due to the currents. Please return the boats to the docks and hook them up and replace the paddles and vests to the racks.
Where is the best hike?
Where can we find horses?
General
Is there a phone directory?
Yes, every cottage has a Hospitality Guest Book with information on churches, restaurants, hiking, starting fires, our history, the legend of Chief Tiosaronda and other interesting items.
What do we do with the trash?
Trash is to be tied up into bags and put in the barrels located at the trash compound next to the Nest. Recyclable products such as glass, tin and plastic can go into their containers.
How do we get extra towels?
Towels are provided, and if you need to change your towels out please bring them to the laundry room at the Lodge to be replaced with fresh ones. We do not provide beach towels.
How do I start a fire and where can I get wood?
Wood is available outside the office for $1 per stick on the honor system. Please help yourself and stop by the office at your convenience. To start your fire you will need small twigs, some paper, medium size branches and then your logs built to look like a teepee. Then light it. A fire needs equal amounts of fuel, oxygen and heat to keep burning.
How do I use the charcoal grill?
Please use only charcoal, and not wood. Charcoal can be obtained at the office or from the local convenience stores. We recommend the self-starting bags that you just light. We also recommend that you use tin foil or an aluminum tray to cook your food on top of the grill.

Yes, we have WiFi service at each cottage. The Password is Riverridin. We also have a WiFi Center where you can go to work on your computers or watch a movie on the flat screen TV. The key lock code is 7271.
What do we do in case of a fire?
In the event of a fire, gather everyone together and move to the fire safety zone on the grassy area by the volleyball net. Notify the office. There are fire extinguishers located at each cottage.
