Jim & Karen, We'll admit to some apprehension about finding a house online -- all the reviews were really good -- but the house seemed almost too good to be true. After spending 5 peaceful days at your home, we agree that it IS almost too good to be true! It is just perfect. We thank you, Jim & Karen, for being so friendly & easy to deal with, for the efforts made to ensure that our vacation went smoothly, and for the attention to details that made us feel at home immediately. We enjoyed beautiful weather and memorable times with our local family. We feel very fortunate to have stumbled across this little cottage, and look forward to returning - hopefully often. PS - The mattress & the quiet made for really good sleeping! Don & Laura

Jim & Karen, We really enjoyed our two weeks at your cabin on the lake. Your cabin is really beautiful inside and out. As other people mentioned "the pictures on the internet do not do it justice." The fall foliage at this time of year was awesome. We will look forward to coming back at other times when we come to visit our daughter. Is's nice to have somewhere to come "home" to after a busy day. Thank you again, The Moore's

Jim & Karen- We were so pleasantly surprised & thrilled at how beautiful, comfortable & relaxing your lovely lake house is! It brought back memories from childhood of visiting the little lake "camp" of family friends - happy memories I hadn't thought about in years. We didn't see the eagle, but that was probably for the best because he would have fallen right out of that tree laughing when the entire family took an unplanned polar plunge into the lake when we expertly flipped out of the canoe. No Worries - things like that are exactly what makes vacations memorable! We had a wonderful time and are so incredibly grateful to you for your incredible genorosity & hospitality - thank you so, so much! Julie, Pedro & Corabella Dieguez(& Brian and Poe too) PS - This was a perfect time to visit - the autumn colors were unbelievably post card perfect and the weather was perfect too. :)

Jim & Karen, Thank you for everything. Your house is beautiful and we had a wonderful time relaxing and visiting the area. We went fishing, lit a fire by the lake, walked around Lake George and enjoyed the Balloon Festival. Thanks again and we hope to return soon! Becky & Marty

Jim: Thanks for letting us stay in your cottage at the last minute. It was really wonderful. We did see the eagle in the morning. It actually swooped down and caught a fish right by the small log floating down there. This is a great place to stay, we will recommend it to friends. Had a great time. Thanks, The Truby's P.S. - The interior is very well decorated and pleasing to the eye.

Not only did we see the eagle, we had dinner with him. He stayed in the "dead" tree for about 1/2 hour. During that time we roasted hot dogs over an open fire and watched in amazement as the eagle dove down and snatched a fish with his claws out of the water. He brought the fish back to the dead tree and proceeded to eat in our company. As the sun finally started to set, sadly, he departed. I was amazed how unbothered he was with our activities just below him. We even had time to run in and get our camera to capture the moment. We won't forget him (her?) for quite some time!

Dear Jim & Karen, Terry, Clare & I had a great time at the Lake. Especially enjoyed the fishing from the canoe was great. Caught some nice size bass and lost a few too, including a large pike that broke the line -- oh well! Spent some time at Saratoga Springs, shopping, eating out and taking in the races. Toured Skidmore College with Clare--good Experience. Most of all, the cottage was great -- very peaceful & comfortable. And yes, we did see the bald eagle on the tree by the dock--quite a site indeed! Many happy memories to take home. Best Regards, Terry, Clare & Charlie A. (Greenwich, CT)

Dear Jim & Karen, My family and I have enjoyed a great week here at the "lake". We've enjoyed doing the "show & tell" in the area for our older daughters, who were born in Saratoga Springs. (14 & 16 years ago). After 4 days of sight seeing we finally got the chance to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the lake. Fishing for the dock was good both days, even my five year old caught several fish. The sunsets by the waters edge were breathtakingly beautiful. The campfires after dark, roasting marshmallows, and making smores were a big hit with all. The bald eagle finally showed up on Fri. eve, catching a fish right beside the dock and perching on the dead tree to partake of he quarry. He stayed with us for 2-3 hours as we marveled at his beauty. Had a great week. Heading back South to the "old North State". Hamptonville, NC. Steven, Wendy, Danielle, Jordyn and Melia.

Dear Jim & Karen, Just a quick note, everyone before us has said it all. In spite of the car disaster and rain, we've thoroughly enjoyed this treasure at the lake. We will certainly try to pop back while the kids are at school. Thanks for everything, We'll be in touch. The Neubelts.

Dear Jim & Karen, We had a wonderful "getaway" at your lovely cottage. The surroundings are beautiful. We had a very relaxing time by the water reading, sharing a few cocktails and sitting by the campfire. We cooked romantic dinners together and found your home has everything one could wish for. Thank you for the plant for our anniversary. This was a wonderful "retreat" away from our busy lives. Jeannette & George. Now back to the "real" world.
