Everyone really enjoyed the property. The house has a lot of history and character. It is right on the water with beautiful sunsets. It has lots of amenities to keep you busy, canoe/kayak, fire pit, hammock, sunroom, etc. We were there for the weekend. I wish we had more time. I definitely recommend this property.

A very special place to make memories!

We just stayed for our 4th year in a row and this has become our family’s favorite place on earth! The house is beautiful - well kept with so much charm and a wonderfully rich history. The screened porch with the magnificent views makes this a paradise in rain or shine! Even a day of storm “Debby” couldn’t bring our family’s spirits down. We had the greatest week with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you and we look forward to visiting again next year!

Belmont Stakes girls trip

The house and smaller cottage were perfect for our group of 10. There was plenty of room for all of us, the house was super clean, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, a gorgeous yard directly on lake, and the host (Bill) was very good about getting back to us with any questions we had. Also loved the location; quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Lake George Village which is a short drive away. Highly recommend! Hope to book again in the future.

We love our summer vacations here. It is a little slice of heaven and is a special place for everyone in our family—from 2 to 77. Owners are great and super easy to deal with. Location on the lake is ideal. And the sandy beach is perfect. Could not ask for better.

Welcome to Paradise!

This is our family’s 3rd summer staying at this property and it is truly a home away from home for us. We absolutely adore everything about it and the host, Bill, could not be better! True hospitality and the most beautiful setting. Our family makes so many memories each year and our kids ask for “our Lake George house” year round. Thank you again for a wonderful week! We are so lucky to have discovered this special gem of a home.

Pilot Knob Vacation

June was a wonderful time to be at Pilot Knob. The loons were fishing and calling directly off of the property. A true Lake George cottage with a sandy beach. The screened-in porch (with windows to close on cool nights) provides an expansive view across the lake. The cottage is comfortable and very well maintained.
