Bear House · Karaoke Stage, Hot Tub, Dock Slip
Six bedrooms. One karaoke stage. Zero excuses.
Bolton Bear House is a private retreat tucked into the Adirondack pines, made for big families and even bigger weekends. Part of the Luxury Lake George Collection, it has six bedrooms, 4.5 baths, room for 16+ guests, and a detached game room with karaoke, arcade games and billiards. Outside: a year-round six-person hot tub, stone fire pit, fenced yard and lake access with a dock slip for boats up to 24 feet.
Sing badly. Sleep well.
THE GOOD STUFF
Somewhere in the Adirondack pines, just minutes from Bolton Landing, there's a house where the days are easy, the nights get interesting, and everyone has room to be themselves.
Welcome to Bolton Bear House.
Spend the day on Lake George, come home to a six-person hot tub, gather around the stone fire pit, or disappear into the game room for a little friendly competition.
With six bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and room for 16+ guests, it's made for families, reunions, celebrations, and those weekends when getting everyone together is the whole point.
And then there's the karaoke stage.
We'll get to that.
THE GAME ROOM DESERVES ITS OWN INTRODUCTION.
Most houses have a game room.
Bear House has an entire detached building dedicated to having a good time.
Inside, you'll find:
• A karaoke stage
• Bar area
• Pool table
• Shuffleboard
• Vintage-style arcade games
• Dart board
Start with a friendly game of pool. Challenge someone to shuffleboard. Then hand the microphone to the person who insists they can't sing.
You know the one.
Whether it's a birthday, family reunion, or just a Tuesday night that got a little more interesting, this is the kind of place where the stories practically write themselves.
Good company. Questionable singing. Excellent memories.
OUTSIDE IS PART OF THE HOUSE.
Tucked among tall pines, Bear House has the kind of outdoor space that makes you want to put your phone away for a while.
Start the morning on the spacious deck or screened-in porch. Spend the afternoon exploring the lake. Finish the evening in the year-round six-person hot tub.
And when the sun goes down, there's a large stone fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, ready for stories, conversation, and another round of s'mores.
The property also includes:
• Private fenced yard
• Large outdoor deck
• Screened-in porch
• Six-person hot tub, open year-round
• Stone fire pit with Adirondack chairs
• Firewood provided
• Gas BBQ grill with utensils
• Swing set for younger guests
• Private driveway and parking
The fenced yard is especially nice for families bringing kids and approved four-legged guests.
A little space to run around. A little room to unwind.
The good kind of getting lost in the woods.
THE LAKE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
Bear House feels tucked away, but Lake George is only about a ten-minute walk from the property.
Guests have access to Bell Point Shores, including a designated dock slip for boats up to 24 feet.
The lake access also features a kayak launch, lounge chairs, and picnic tables — a lovely little spot for enjoying the water without making a whole production of it.
Bring your boat, arrange a rental, or spend the day exploring the shoreline.
The dock is located at the nearby lake-access property, not directly at the house.
Out of the woods. Onto the water.
INSIDE IS PRETTY GOOD, TOO.
When the adventures are over, there's plenty of room to settle in.
The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking for a crowd easy, whether you're preparing a big family breakfast or dinner after a day on the lake.
Gather around the dining table, settle into one of the living areas, put on a movie, or get a board game going.
With multiple floors and separate gathering spaces, the house works especially well for groups with different ideas of a perfect vacation.
Somebody wants to watch a movie.
Somebody wants another game of pool.
Somebody has discovered the karaoke machine.
Everybody wins.
High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TVs are available for the moments you decide to reconnect with the outside world.
COFFEE GETS ITS OWN SECTION.
Because a house this big should take coffee seriously.
The Bear House coffee bar includes:
• Keurig coffee maker
• French press
• Traditional drip coffee maker
Make a quick cup before heading out, brew a whole pot for the family, or take your time with a French press on the screened porch.
The coffee's good. The mornings are better.
No alarms necessary.
ROOM FOR EVERYONE.
Six bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, multiple living areas, and plenty of flexible sleeping arrangements.

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. FAR ENOUGH AWAY.

Spend the morning hiking, the afternoon on the lake, and the evening exploring the village's restaurants and shops.
A few nearby favorites:
• 1 min — Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center
• 3 min — Sagamore Golf Course and the Sagamore Resort & Spa
• 3 min — The Chateau on the Lake, Club Grille, Cate's Italian Garden
• 4 min — The Sembrich and Algonquin Restaurant

This is an amazing property, The house has everything you could possibly imagine in it, extra blankets, every TV channel, A television and every room, every amenity you can think of no detail spared. They thought of everything . A short drive to the grocery store and multiple restaurants. Although, not exactly on the lake. It’s a short walk down to it. My kids loved the game . This is probably the best VRBO that I’ve ever stayed in.
The house was perfect for a gathering of old friends who love to cook, fish, and tell tales of ribaldry! Everything was super easy from check-in to check-out. The house has a great layout and a bunch of fun features, including bears, a a hot tub, a game room, bears, and extra-special touches that were created for our group specifically. That personal touch goes a long way. Also, bears! The local caretaker swung by once or twice to make sure everything was good, which we appreciated. In summary, we had a blast, felt super comfortable and the managers made everything simple and special. Would for sure stay there again (or at another property under the same management). Minor feedback: The walk to the lake was easy but I'd suggest a little map or drawing showing the best way to get to the access point (sorry if we missed it). And the road to the house was very icy, but weather was happening all weekend so may have been a freak occurrence.
Our group of 9 women had such a great time during our stay at the property. Lots of things to do at the house or of you want to relax, many areas to tuck away and nap. Short drive into town and short drive to the lake. Great place to stay.

Wonderful hose and incredibly kind host

Absolutely fantastic From start to finish
The property is just great. The details of the house are exquisite and beautiful. We had a 70th girls birthday weekend extravaganza and it was fantastic. The party barn was outstanding with all the amenities, including the karaoke machine. The host,James was on board at any time if there was anything that we needed. We also did the s’mores package, which was so much fun with the guest of honor, Bigfoot attending! The casino setup was great too.
I would definitely recommend the Bolton Bear House for a fantastic stay in the Adirondacks.
It was spotless

Family Wedding Vacation!
All our family was in town for wedding and this house has everything! Lots of bedrooms + additional sleeping areas (we had 14 people!). Also, lots of bathrooms - all larger than average. Favorite spot was the screened porch where we can enjoy the fresh air with our morning coffee...with seating for 12! Plus 2 picnic tables on the deck. The house and the grill were all very clean and kitchen had every imaginable size pot and any utensils we needed. Plenty of plates, mugs, glasses and silverware for our big group. Love the completely fenced in yard for our doggo and the landscaping overall is lovely. Big plus for me is the separate game garage so if people want to play after others went to bed it wasn't noisy. Private road to dock area allows for great morning walks! Took us a bit to get the thermostat where we liked it, but had it by day 4 ;) Prefer to be near Bolton Landing vs. Lake George Village, as it's a more manageable 'downtown' - still tons of restaurants.

Something for everyone
This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. My husband and I were celebrating our birthdays and we wanted to have the whole family. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There were so many games and activities to do that we didn't even get to all of them. Next time I guess we'll have to stay longer! The owners were very responsive when we needed a few incidentals and they celebrated our birthdays with balloons, gifts, cards, cookies and a cookie cake! There's a backyard with a fire pit beautiful landscaping surrounding it. This home is off the beaten path, very private, but minutes away from the town of Bolton landing. And I wanted to thank equator sauna rentals for the amazing sauna experience. Delivered right to the house, we enjoyed it so much! Everything that you could possibly need is provided at this house and if you have any questions or need something else, contact the team at Lake George Vacay And they will get right back to you! Rent the bear house for fun and relaxation!
We had such an incredible time at this home. All the details are so well thought out. Just an amazing experience all around. Thank you so so much!!

So happy we booked here!!
We had the best time! The house was awesome and had everything we needed. We actually opted to stay in both nights instead of going out! We all fit comfortably and can’t wait to come back! James, the property manager was super responsive and his recommendations were spot on! He also recommended The LAN chef for our private chef experience and it was INCREDIBLE!
