Called "The Owl's Nest", this summer lake house, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a dock, is listed on the National Historic Registry, a beautiful craftsman-style home built by noted 19th century writer/historian Edward Eggleston (see Wikipedia).

The master bedroom downstairs, with 1 queen bed, has a full bath off to one side; another door leads to the stone "loggia" or porch, my personal favorite spot. A large bay window and fireplace (unused) with inlaid tile adds to the charm of this room.
Detailed wood paneling and 13' ceilings throughout the 1st floor.

There are two bedrooms and one full bath upstairs.
The first bedroom at the top of the stairs is smaller, with one full size bed and one
single bed tucked next to a dormer. The other much larger bedroom has one near-
queen size bed and one single bed. A rollaway bed is stored in the closet.
Guests may use the balcony which opens toward the lake. There is also a sitting area near the flat screen TV. Windows and balcony doors are designed to be open to catch
the breeze in the summer.

The wood paneled living room has a piano, a large fireplace (unused) and antique furniture mixed with some contemporary furniture. At the far side of the living room,
the dining area features a round table nestled next to a large bay window looking out on the lake. For more informal dining or grilling, the picnic table on the deck next to
the kitchen fits the bill.

Amenities include a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and granite counters, a 40 foot long 2-pier dock with swimmer's ladder, screened-in porch
overlooking the lake, an upstairs balcony, deck with grill and picnic table, and sweeping views of the lake, fields and woods in a private setting.

Also included: Wi-Fi, line phone, cable TV, 32 inch flat-screen, large micro-wave oven, conventional oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, dinette table and small bar, a large capacity washer and dryer, tuned upright piano and central heating.

Guests can swim off the "U-dock", use our canoe to explore the bay and creek, and even tie up your own boat!

In addition, guests have access to the Mountainside Free Library, located on the
general property, which was founded by Edward Eggleston.

For fresh deli food and groceries, check out Cleverdale Country Store, only a mile or so away on the east side of the lake.
Lake George Village, famous for its attractions, is 5 miles away.
In the other direction about the same distance, Glens Falls has a variety of supermarkets and stores.
