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.

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

The lake is quiet and very easy to get your kayaks in/out. Also have access to Lake George close by which is a larger lake. The park located right next to the property can get loud when it’s busy.

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.

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.

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.

The home was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. It was very well stocked with paper products, kitchen staples, bath, cleaning and laundry supplies. Cable and Internet worked very well.
