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.

Karen & Jim, We all had a wonderful time at your cozy Lake home. It will be part of our cherished family memories. We all enjoyed the wildlife and saw creatures we had never had the opportunity to see up close before. The Bald Eagle by the dock was spectacular! Even our dog, Chance, had the opportunity to discover his own wildlife such as deer and wild turkey. Our kids do have one recommendation though, they suggest fishing from the boat landing at the end of the road. They were pulling out huge fish all day on our last day of vacation! What a delicious diinner! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Hello Jim, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we enjoyed your lake house last week-end. The cottage is very well appointed, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Your attention to detail and interest in pleasing your guests is evident. You and your wife are clearly very thoughtful. We all enjoyed the paddle boat! When I booked the reservation, I had planned on a nice relaxing week-end with my in-laws...until my daughter asked if she and 3 of her girlfriends from college could join us!! It worked out well though, 2 of them on the air mattress and 2 on the pull out. We enjoyed their company very much and I appreciate your flexibility on that. We came here after the Dave Matthews concert in Saratoga. We look forward to another trip next year, but hope to stay longer. Thanks again, Patty P.S. - The pictures on the web do not do this place justice!
