A very special place to make memories!

We just stayed for our 4th year in a row and this has become our family’s favorite place on earth! The house is beautiful - well kept with so much charm and a wonderfully rich history. The screened porch with the magnificent views makes this a paradise in rain or shine! Even a day of storm “Debby” couldn’t bring our family’s spirits down. We had the greatest week with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you and we look forward to visiting again next year!

Belmont Stakes girls trip

The house and smaller cottage were perfect for our group of 10. There was plenty of room for all of us, the house was super clean, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, a gorgeous yard directly on lake, and the host (Bill) was very good about getting back to us with any questions we had. Also loved the location; quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Lake George Village which is a short drive away. Highly recommend! Hope to book again in the future.

We love our summer vacations here. It is a little slice of heaven and is a special place for everyone in our family—from 2 to 77. Owners are great and super easy to deal with. Location on the lake is ideal. And the sandy beach is perfect. Could not ask for better.

Welcome to Paradise!

This is our family’s 3rd summer staying at this property and it is truly a home away from home for us. We absolutely adore everything about it and the host, Bill, could not be better! True hospitality and the most beautiful setting. Our family makes so many memories each year and our kids ask for “our Lake George house” year round. Thank you again for a wonderful week! We are so lucky to have discovered this special gem of a home.

Pilot Knob Vacation

June was a wonderful time to be at Pilot Knob. The loons were fishing and calling directly off of the property. A true Lake George cottage with a sandy beach. The screened-in porch (with windows to close on cool nights) provides an expansive view across the lake. The cottage is comfortable and very well maintained.

For over 20 years my family goes to George. This is our 3rd stay at this location. This year is special for our family for many reasons and we needed time and a place to clear mind our minds and relax. And so we did. Thank you Cycleman.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Nast

Why they chose this property

Our Grandparents built this house on beautiful Lake George. As the story goes, Alexander and Belle came up from New York City in the 20’s and rented a summer cottage on Diamond Point. They decided to explore the yet undeveloped east side of the lake by row boat. While on the water, a storm blew-in and this beach was the only place they could pull the boat to land. They loved what they found and inquired of its availability.

It just so happened that this area of the lake was a land grant from King George III to the Oakley Estate (locals who favored the King) with the stipulation from the King that the tall pine trees remain available to the crown for ship masts. The property was purchased in 1926. With the help of his brother-in-law Judd, who was an engineer by trade, they built the original cottage. In the late 1960’s, as the family continued to grow, the main cottage had a major renovation and the second cottage was built.

Alexander was a prolific painter who’s works you’ll enjoy throughout the house. His daughter painted his portrait that hangs on the porch. Five generations have grown up here with lasting memories. Our grandparents had a dream, to create a gift on Lake George for their family to enjoy for generations. We hope by sharing this dream with you, you will come to appreciate all the beauty that is Lake George.

What makes this property unique

At the end of a private road, you will find this charming, beautifully renovated original Adirondack Camp with a walk-in, sandy beach. You won't find this anywhere else on the East side of the lake.
