We are in the quiet hamlet of Hague, in the North Basin of Lake George. Inside or out, you are literally steps from the lake. Here you can relax and forget the rest of the world.
This is a two story house, with the living/dining area and kitchen on the first floor, and three bedrooms, a sleeping/lounging porch and 2 bathrooms on the second floor.
There is a large brick patio, and an 8 foot wide dock. The patio has 2 tables, comfortable outdoor furniture, a gas grill and an outdoor fireplace. Wood is provided for campfires! The entire property is beautifully planted with flowers.
Boat docking for a small (18-20 feet) is reserved for your use. There is a marina one block away for boat rentals. Our dock is shared by the owner and 2 other boats. The boat dockers are strictly 'load and go.' They do not use the dock except to access their boats. They are very friendly people, and respect your privacy. We are a one block walk to Hague Beach and park, which is a great spot for swimming, picnics, etc. There is a lifeguard on duty at the Beach.
The first floor consists of a great room living and dining area. There is a queen-size sleep sofa in the living room. The entire lake side of the living/dining area is glass windows overlooking the lake. There is a dining table seating 6-8, and a fun restaurant style booth that seats 4. The living area has a 19 inch color/cable TV with VCR and DVD. There is also a small CD player with connector for ipod type devices. A highlight of the living area is a beautiful stained glass window.
The living/dining area is separated from the kitchen by a great bar/breakfast counter. This is the perfect spot for eating, or relaxing with a drink. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size stove and refrigerator, dishwasher, as well as a microwave oven, toaster oven, coffee maker, blender, electric griddle, and all basic cooking and serving utensils.
Upstairs the master bedroom is a large room with a KING-size bed next to a huge picture window overlooking the lake. Relax while listening to the sound of waves lapping the shore! The master bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the lake. This is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise, or catch a spectacular moon rise across the lake. The balcony is rimmed with flower boxes. This room also has a dresser, and a sitting area with 2 chairs. There is a large closet. The master bedroom has a private bath with tub/shower. This room also opens to the sleeping/lounging porch.
The second bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed, as well as a dresser. This bedroom faces the lake.
Both bedrooms are air conditioned, and have TV's with DVD players.
A third small bedroom has a twin bed, and a lovely lake view. This bedroom is not air conditioned.

This room is accessed through the master bedroom or bedroom or second bedroom.
The entire lakeside of the building is the Island View Rental. The front of the building houses my charming antique and gift shop, 'Old Glory.'

Wonderful retreat on Lake George

We were a group of 6 (plus 1 baby) looking for a relaxing weekend on Lake George. We were absolutely delighted to discover the Island View vacation home in Hague. It was everything we were looking for: a gorgeous and peaceful lake setting, cozy living room and bedrooms, and a great kitchen for cooking! A couple of us went rowing in a rowboat provided by Bruce and Sandy, and we also went on a leisurely hike nearby. The Hague Market was just steps away, and it met our basic grocery needs. Sandy and Bruce were wonderful to correspond with and meet. Their warm hospitality was much appreciated by everyone in the group. At the end of the weekend, we all wanted to stay for a couple more days. We will most certainly be back for another visit!Owner response: We love first time guests at Island View! A mutual love of Lake George and the Adirondacks has introduced us to so many wonderful people. We welcome your return stay!

Highly recommend staying at the Island View! We have stayed with Bruce & Sandy for many years with our family and we loved every minute. You couldn't ask for two nicer people to rent from they are the best!!! They spoiled us so much we had to buy our own house on Lake George so we can see them more often. I give the Island View 5 stars!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This is our fifth year at Island View and I can't say enough about it! The house is clean, charming, comfortable, and always welcoming. The view of the lake is breath taking and just beautiful - especially when the sun rises through the bedroom window in the morning! The flowers all around the property add to the beauty of the lake and make you feel like you're in a home away from home. Sandy and Bruce have made us feel welcome since our first visit and have since become good friends. If you're looking for a peaceful vacation in a beautiful spot - Island View on Lake George is definitely the place to go! And if you want activities - there's plenty of that too. Fishing, horseback riding, hiking, boating, kayaking - to name just a few - are all within a short drive from the house. This place has it all! We just love it!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.
Owner response: Your kind words and compliments are so thoughtful and appreciated. Having guests like your family become such good friends is the best part of Island View, and is what makes us want to continue to make it better each and every year. See you over the winter and can't wait for next summer!

My freinds and I have stayed at the Island View for years and have never been disapointed. If you venture out on Lake George or drive a few minutes to Lake Champlain or do some sightseeing, it's nice to know you have a clean and safe home away from home to come back to. The owners make sure your stay is the best it could be. If you find yourself vacationing in Hague NY, stay at the Island View. You'll be glad you did, I sure am.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: We appreciate your making Island View your home away from home on Lake George. Thank you for the confidence you place in us to fulfill your vacation needs. Keep on fishing, and returning to Hague!

Island view is utterly unique. Too many charming features to count. Right on the water of Lake George with a wharf. Beautiful flowers, a firepit with plenty of wood, great location between city beach and commercial marina. Owners, Bruce and Sandy, were charming and responsive to any and every need. What a great vacation!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. Your family was a delight to have as guests! We cannot thank you enough for the help with watering the flowers, and for being "Happy Campers" even during the unexpected power outage/s! We truly hope you or your family can return to Island View.

If you looking for a Grade A vacation rental cottage on the quiet end of Lake George, it doesn't get any better than this. I can't imagine anything more that these wonderful hosts could provide to make your stay more enjoyable. The cottage was everything we were looking for with regards to comfortable living space, amenities, and its close proximity to the lake. The property is everything it is described to be on the VRBO web site and then some. The extra bonus one gets when staying at this property is the 4 star service provided by the owners, Sandra and Bruce Rust. The willingness of these owners to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible is commendable. Our only regret is that our week long stay went by much to fast and we have to wait another year before we can return.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you. We so enjoy sharing our love of Lake George with our guests. We hope to see you again at Island View.

Vacationing at the Island View is the best of all worlds: you get to live, relax and play comfortably with nature at your doorstep. We love that you can be in the lake one minute and in the kitchen , the next. In the morning the sun rises over the mountains and floods the lake with light; you can continue to sleep in the quiet and comfort of the upstairs bedrooms ( AC , thank you), or have an early swim . Afterward, you can enjoy a cup of coffee on the beautiful patio area complete with a dock, fire pit, and an array of spectacular plants hosting the occasional hummingbird or butterfly. The views are spectacular and you can sit all day and watch the water , be in the water , or on the water with the mountains of Lake George as your backdrop. The backdrop is all still visible from the inside of the Island View, as well, thanks to sliding glass doors and windows. The space within is ample, comfortable and inviting. It works for a couple of people or for a small crowd. We love sitting around the kitchen with its bar-style island and enjoying our friends and family; speaking of which our hosts , Sandy and Bruce, couldn't be more attentive to our needs and comfort. Many ,many thanks. From the Island View you can walk into Hague and enjoy the shops and eateries there ( just a few), or travel to other destinations not too far away. If you're lucky enough to have a boat, the Island View rental comes with its own shared dock and then , truly, you really do have the best of all worlds! For us, the Island View is a little slice of heaven that we get to share!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: The best part of island View for us as owners is the great people who stay there! Thank you for your stay, and for the fun and friendship we share. See you next summer!

My husband and I, along with our son, his wife and our three grandsons have been coming to Island View for several years now. Island View is a comfortable, well situated home in a pretty and sheltered location that is also conveniently within walking distance to the delightful restaurants and shops in the town of Hague. The owners are gracious and very accommodating. I would recommend Island View to anyone who wants to enjoy a spacious house, with a dock steps away from the back door and with amazing views of this pristine lake.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.
Owner response: It has been a delight getting to know you and your family and especially seeing your grandchildren have fun on the the lake.

I can't say enough about Island View in Hague. We've been staying here for the past four years and I truly consider it a home away from home. It's in a quiet little town on the banks of one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. As soon as I pull into the driveway and see Lake George in front of me, my tensions melt away and I feel so peaceful. It's owned and cared for by two wonderful people that have become friends - Bruce and Sandy. We couldn't ask for a nicer, more welcoming place to spend our vacation each summer.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: We are so fortunate to have such nice people stay at Island View. We truly appreciate your stay and your friendship.

About the owner: Thank you for considering our Island View home. We enjoy meeting so many nice people who love Lake George as much as we do. We will do everything possible to make certain you have a great vacation at Lake George. See you at the Lake!
Why the Owner Chose Hague:
The northern part of Lake George is the most beautiful part of the lake, as it is quieter and slower paced. Bruce grew up camping on the nearby islands with his family, and it is a dream come true to have the good fortune to call a piece of Lake George home. Hague is a wonderful town to spend a day or a lifetime...
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our home is located directly on Lake George. The house sits less than 10 feet from the lake! The views are breathtaking, and the lake is spectacular anytime of the day or night. Gorgeous sunrises and moonrises are not to be missed. We are just minutes by boat to the wonderful Waltonian Island group. We love being able to walk to the town beach for summer concerts, the Hague waterfall and brook for peace and serenity, and the Hague General store to meet friends and pick up supplies and maybe a great pie!
