We had a great time- place was right on the water, with a sandy bottom. Was a bit warm, but the fans they provided, was a huge help. Weather was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Restful Week

The weather was perfect - 80s during the day and 60s at night. Enjoyed using the paddleboat, canoe, and rowboat. The cottage was very clean and stocked with everything you may need. Only down side of the week was the fish were not biting. Definitely would love to rent again.

Cute house in lake George

Super cute house! The owners provided everything you could have wanted. Being right on the lake was a major plus and they provided an awesome paddle boat that definitely got its use. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if we come back to the area.

Peaceful lake house.

I could write a book on all the great things about this lake house. From the quiet comfort to the very close local conveniences. The morning view over the glassy calm lake is pure eye candy. This place has it all.

Great little lake house

The house was extremely clean the lake has a great Sandy Beach to walk into although I will say the lake is extremely active with jet skis and speed boats flying by a little scary but doable there's a great little public Beach right next door the only downfall to this property is there is no air conditioning or dishwasher but the homeowner did provide fans for every bedroom and two of the bedrooms also have a ceiling fan as well as the kitchen the homeowners could not have been more friendly or easy to work with

Very relaxing

Very nice house and accommodating for our five adults and 6 year old. Canoe is nice to use and go fishing. Having the firewood right there to buy is convenient for the firepit. The beds are comfortable and linens & towels are top notch! Apprecitated at a rental! Nice quiet place. The lake is a bit smaller than we expected, but clean and great for swimming. Would recommend!

Very Relaxing

We had a spectacular week at the lake! We were on and in the lake every day, and had a fire most nights. There was a great breeze, so we spent a lot of time on the deck. While it is an all sports lake, the no wake periods in the morning and early evening were perfect for kayaking and paddle boating! The owners are great to work with! A storm knocked out the power the morning we planned to check in. And John kept us informed about the status and offered to let us come up the next day. Thankfully it was back on quickly, and we made it with no delays.
