Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a wonderful property for a weekend wedding we attended in Lake George. The house was beautiful. The area was quiet and serene. Perfect for family time. It was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and there was nothing more we could have needed. We have rented several times through VRBO and had very nice hosts, but Francesco and Lucinda by far are the best hosts we have had. They quickly responded any time we had a question and went out of their way when my son thought he left his wallet at their property. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in Lake George. It is close to attractions but also has privacy from the hustle and bustle of town. Beautiful place!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad S. 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Fantastic stay.

It was in a very quiet location away from main roads. There was good wi-fi but no cell service. More information on use of the TV, fireplace, thermostat, etc. would be useful. ##### Brenda W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy G. 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was as described - spacious, clean, well-furnished, and comfortable. Especially the mattresses! The location is slightly off the beaten path, which was fine for us, though some might prefer a shorter drive to Lake George. We appreciated the calm and quiet of the lovely setting. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. I would not hesitate to book this house again in the future. ##### Nancy G.
