4.99 out of 5 average rating, 161 reviews4 Season Gem -Hike, Fish, swim, Leaf peep, Ski!
A+ this place is just downright special! We travel and rent houses frequently and this one really stood out. Located right next to a well-stocked general store (with delicious breakfast, best pancakes I’ve ever had) and so close to a lake you can see it from the front deck, we were so pleased with our stay here. Kitchen was stocked, house was beautiful and very clean, one bathroom on each floor, beds and pillows comfy, an easy one minute walk down to the lake - I can’t say enough good things! The town was quiet and peaceful, something we typically look for. Maureen was wonderful and was very prompt in responding to messages we had sent. Our only wish was we didn’t get a chance to use the bonfire pit but don’t worry, we have already talked about coming back and the firepit will be used! Thank you again!

The property was perfect-steps away from the lake, clean, organized, had everything you could want. Better than the pictures!! The hosts were great-giving us recommendations of local places and very specific information for parking and the dock. Would for sure look to return to the proposal again.

One of our favorite stays this year! The house was lovely and comfortable. Enjoyed the reading nooks overlooking the water. Wonderful place to stargaze. Our hostess was generous with our arrival and departure times. Our pups felt right at home as well. We look forward to returning next fall and hopefully in the spring as well!
Cabin in Lake Luzerne
5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsBass Cottage
Gorgeous, quaint, rustic Adirondack cabin like something you see in the magazines. Literally ON the water. The Hide-A-Way cottage property has tons of things to do! Great for a family trip. Location is on a serene, quiet lake but close to Lake George village if you want more activity. Host was excellent and very informative.

This is my family's second stay at Jeff's listing. It is our absolute favorite trip we now look forward to taking each year.

The house was spotless upon check in and had all the amenities we could ever want/need. I can't wait to come back!

I recently stayed at a Lakeview cabin and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, with stunning views of the lake right from the porch. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect getaway for relaxation. The amenities were great, and everything was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a serene retreat in nature. Henry was exceptional! He was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the warm welcome to the helpful recommendations for local activities, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Henry's hospitality truly made our stay special.

One of my favorite Airbnb stays! Amy was very responsive and the house was very clean and cozy. We especially loved the little instructions left around the house (e.g., instructions for how to turn on the fireplace were right at the fireplace). Close to great hiking to catch the fall foliage. We also loved that the kitchen had plenty of cookware which made cooking dinner easy. Plenty of space for a group getaway!

Sunset Cove was a perfect place for our family. It was absolutely gorgeous and it had every amenity that we needed. The beautifully decorated house was very well equipped with such a gorgeous kitchen, big bathrooms and bedrooms. Outside had beautiful decks and plenty of chairs and a nice fire pit to watch the beautiful sunsets. It had kayaks, a boat and fishing poles. It was so nice and relaxing. We made a lot of great memories there and we will definitely rent the house again. Katie was so responsive with anything that we needed. She was a great super host.

5 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsLake Front Chalet, Glen Lake
This spot was great! It served as a base camp for the Adirondack portion of our 2024 fall expedition. It's just minutes from Lake George but not in the chaos so when you are done there you feel like you are going home. Our only regret is that we had so many road trips planned we didn't get to spend much time at Glen lake - it is so peaceful and quiet. However, It was great to wake up each morning to the sun sparkling across the lake and coming right into the living room through the trees, especially with the leaves radiating in color. Everything is right nearby so it's super convenient and it's just a minute from RT87 so you can go where ever you want. The host we're super nice, very friendly and made it feel like we were at our 3rd home - totally comfortable! We'd go back in a heartbeat...

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviewsBreathtaking Southern Views of Lake George
Absolutely beautiful spot on the lake! The house was perfect for our extended family (grandparents, parents and children) and extremely clean. I am usually a tough critic of cleanliness of air bnbs and very nose sensitive. Besides cobwebs (outside!) the entire place was spotless and odor free! Plenty of towels for the entire family and comfy beds and linens. Honestly felt like a home away from home. We brought our boat and explored the northern quarter of the lake. The dock looked brand new. A very nice sandbar on the opposite side of the island seen from the dock- great to park and swim at. Lots of cool islands to explore nearby too. It unfortunately rained almost every day we were there so thank god the house was big enough and comfy for 6 adults and 2 kids to hang out. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful part of lake George

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviewsAdirondack Waterfront Haven
Thoroughly enjoyed it perfect thank you so much for the extras that hardly any Airbnb provides! My husband says thank you so much for all the wood you provided it saved him from hauling it. We left our kayaks in North Carolina because they would make too much noise however we were surprised to find kayaks and fishing poles available for renters! You really should put that in your ad, may have been the decision point that we would’ve chosen for you It would be nice if all Airbnb were as accommodating as you guys were . based on the extras ! Hopefully nobody in the future takes advantage of you.
