Heaven on earth...

This booking was by far the easiest and best choice I have made for a getaway. The owner Melissa communicates well and is available should you need anything. We did not because the home is perfectly appointed with everything you will need (I mean everything down to spare sugar/salt/pepper). Bring your family/friends/food/dog/kids and enjoy this private large gorgeous lake house. It is exactly what it should be to fit the Lake George themed cabin atmosphere. If you are expected modern and stucco maybe this is not for you. We loved the wood beams/walls/classic traditional dinning room table for everyone to share a meal from the clean newer three burner Weber grill right off of the porch. We enjoyed the playing billiards on the clean table with a lake view through the large glass window. My daughter played on the swing set and loved the private little "doll house" nestled in the woods right near the kitchen to keep an eye on the kids. The lake house / dock is oversized and two levels. Space to suntan, eat, fish, park your boat and not feel tight at all. The water is crystal clear and you have completely unobstructed views of the lake off the dock. The photo's we took look like a postcard. All I ask is you respect the property, lake and home so it can be as perfect as it was for our visit last week!!! We will be back 110%

Wonderful child- and pet-friendly lake house

This is a GEM at Lake George. Beautiful, private, and family friendly. We appreciated the ample living space, the bottom levels were perfect for a busy toddler to explore, and everything was easily child proofed with owner-provided baby gates and high storage spaces. We felt welcome and easily accommodated with both our child and our dog, and appreciated the owner’s communication throughout the process. The views from the boathouse and the deck above are spectacular. Highly recommend.

Quick Trip To Lake George

Our stay was wonderful! My 3 kids and I stayed 3 nights in October. Apart from playing mini golf for a few hours, we were at the house the entire time. Plenty for the kids to explore and enjoy! This home has all the feel of staying with family. Everything was clean, unique, and worked well. The lake is crystal clear, the boathouse had everything we needed. There was even a hiking trail across the street. Melissa was a fantastic host. She was sincerely considerate and very responsive. We’ll be back!

Beautiful lake location in a cute house

Melissa the host is a great communicator and wants to make sure your stay is wonderful. The house itself is cute, small well equipped kitchen opening to a dining/ living room area with a gas stove that was great to warm up on the cool autumn nights. The bedroom layout offered privacy and would be great if multiple families traveled. 3 were connected w on suite bathrooms, while 2 shared a hallway bath. 2 bedrooms while being private have the option of opening a door between them, 1 had 2 twins one was I believe a full or queen which is perfect if you're traveling with young children. The yard is private and there is a downhill walk to the lake. The boathouse with rooftop deck have the most beautiful lake views! We enjoyed having our coffee every morning on the deck! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, location was just 10 min from Bolton Landing and Lake George Village.. but removed from the crowds and peaceful.

Lovely stay despite the bad weather

Even though the weather was cold and rainy, my family enjoyed gathering in Melissa‘s cozy home. The easy access to the lake made it possible to do some fishing and boating in between the raindrops. Melissa was very communicative and responsive to any of our questions or needs. It was a lovely week.

Weekend Family Getaway

Melissa is a wonderful host and a great communicator. Everything is organized and there are clear instructions for most things everywhere, which I really enjoyed. The multiple bathrooms are a plus - it was nice to not have to share (8 adults, 2 children). The property is beautiful and my ideal picture of a perfect, relaxing Adirondack getaway. I would like to stay here again sometime.

Vacation Retreat with a Breathe Taking View :)

This was not my first time in Lake George, But this was my first time renting a house rather than a hotel lodge. This was the best decision I made. Melissa, the owner was very sweet and professional from the moment the house was booked. Her Communication and personality made my experience even better. Thank you. The house is very special. It has a warm and welcoming feel from the start. 5 rooms, 4 bathrooms , great open concept first floor. We had a lot of room to be with the family or stay our distance. The backyard is my favorite point of the house. It has the best Breathe taking view of pilot knob. The wooden Dock has two floors. Top floor has wooden chairs and lounges to sit and enjoy the views with friends and family. The bottom deck provided access to kayaks and a tube to go into the lake. It’s hard to grasp my description in words. You have to go and experience this to see and feel how amazing this is. Overall this Lake house is Great place to be with nature. Relax indoor / outdoors. Travel around the town. Stay indoors and read a book, watch movies , cook and eat. It’s meant for anyone and everyone. The House was clean and has characters. There are hand written notes throughout house to inform us on what switches turns in what, direction on how to operate certain item :) this just shows that Melissa knows her house very well and can help you anytime. this was truly a great experience to my family and me. I would suggest this Lake House Rental to everyone!!!! loved it!!!

Perfect Location!

Stayed with my husband, daughter and our Golden Retriever for a last minute getaway May 11-14. This property is lakefront, fairly secluded and about a 5-10 minute drive to the shops, restaurants and The Sagamore at Bolton's Landing as well as hiking The Pinnacle. (There's also a hiking trail on the owner's additional property across the road.) The house and amenities are a bit on the older side, but fairly well maintained. Melissa, the host was very kind, accommodating and easy to work with. The boat house was key to our stay. We enjoyed evenings on the deck listening to the loons! Though the property isn't fenced, we were able to block our dog in on the dock and the upper deck. The fishing from the dock was spectacular and we were able to keep our fishing equipment in the boat house so it was ready to go at a moment's notice. This was a big deal for my husband. Not mentioned in the listing is that there are 2 kayaks and a row boat for use. We almost rented a different property that came with watercraft because we thought we were going to have to find some to rent here. Lake George Village is 4 miles from this property. Its far more crowded and basically a tourist trap than Bolton Landing. But if you're travelling with kids, there are arcades, restaurants, shopping and attractions there. We preferred to stay in the less crowded area - I can't say what it would be like in season though as this was our first time in the area. We had a fabulous time, would definitely recommend.

Easter get-away

The house set-up was perfect for our family as everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, yet we were all together in the main room. The large dining room was spacious and we had plenty of room to eat and play games. Bringing our canine family members was a big plus for us and Melissa provided bowls and treats for them. The weather did not cooperate for our weekend get-away, but we didn't mind as we were able to spend time together comfortably.

Fantastic set up for groups!

We had the best time at the lake house in Diamond Point! The house is set up with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Ideal for our group. We had 9 adults and 2 dogs for a weekend of ice fishing for my boyfriends 40th birthday. We were all very comfortable, and spread out. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the woodsy feel to it. Kitchen looks small, but I was easily able to cook all meals all weekend, and with the help of the kitchen tools provided. Melissa is a wonderful host! She met us at check-in and showed us around and made sure we were 100% accommodated. Check-out made simple, too. Honestly, we were bummed leaving! Thank you, Melissa. 5 star stay!

Lake George in the winter

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Lake House on Lake George. The owner met us and walked us through the property. It was exactly as described - very roomy and it was nice that we all had our own bathrooms. It was below zero the whole weekend and we were toasty warm. Beautiful access to the lake with a private deck and dock which makes us want to come back in the warmer months. Great for a large family or a group of friends.

Great Location/Deck on Lake George

The house is rustic, very clean with lots of bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen with all kinds of cooking-wear. The deck over the boat house looking out on the lake is awesome, with a wide and unobstructed view. We watched the harvest moon rise (Melissa let us know not to miss this!). Melissa was very easy to communicate with for check in and check out and if we had any questions during our stay. The only issue is that the walk down to lakeside is a slight challenge for an elderly couple like us. But the TV with some cable channels was excellent as was internet reception. The king-sized bed in the Master bedroom was very comfortable and there was a balcony and ensuite bathroom adjacent. The area is ideal for a visit to Lake George. We had a lovely stay.

While the weather was too chilly to spend much time on the water, the dock and the boathouse were beautiful! The main house is charming, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some privacy. It is really the perfect lake house - a little rustic, but very clean and so comfortable! The owner, Melissa, couldn't have been more kind and helpful.

What makes this property unique

MSN names Lake George cleanest lake in U.S.
by: Jay Petrequin

Posted: Oct 26, 2023 / 02:20 PM EDT

Updated: Oct 26, 2023 / 02:22 PM EDT

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The waters of Lake George are beloved by many – and were hailed last week at a national level. An article on Microsoft-owned news service MSN spells it out from the headline: “This Is The Cleanest Lake In The U.S.”

Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox!
The article, by MSN writer Maria Bou Ink, cites a ranking from A-Z Animals which names Lake George as the cleanest lake in the United States. It makes note of the fact that Lake George is fed by mountain streams, and resides largely on protected forest land, with little manmade activity outside of the village. The article also praises the lake for being attractive to vacationers.

“Considering that numerous beautiful lakes from Colorado, Oregon, and Montana were also listed, Lake George has the highest score,” the article states. “All in all, it is a fantastic location for tourists to enjoy their favorite water activities, and on a hot summer day, it is a lovely body of water that is surrounded by plenty of interesting local sights.”

Lake George holiday light show doubling in size
Under the protection of stewards like those at the Lake George Association and other groups that study water quality, Lake George’s water isn’t taken for granted. In the last year, the lake has been named one of the nine best waterbodies for boating by BoatUS; the eighth-bluest lake in the country by SIXT SE; one of the best places in the country to buy a cabin by vacation site Evolve; and home to the nation’s #1 dog-friendly campground, according to The Dyrt.

And you have a wonderful house to stay in and total privacy while experiencing the joys of the beauty landscape and pristine water to enjoy in many ways.
