Awesome Stay!!!

My wife and I, along with university aged daughter went to visit our son, who attends Colgate University and we stayed at Christian's beautiful Lake Moraine Home #2 and absolutely LOVED IT!! Great place, right on the water, with everything done perfect and great location to the school as well ... it was even better than we expected! We would definitely highly recommend this place and we would love to come back in the summer as well which I'm sure would be incredible!

Excellent Lake Moraine House

Visiting family out in Georgetown, 30 min away, and this lake house was the perfect location. Hamilton was a cute town and Colgate University was picturesque! The lake house was perfect. Fun on the kayaks and water was clean and safe. We will be telling other family members to stay here too! Only request would be to have access to washer and dryer. Host was responsive and kind. Thank you for a lovely home.
