We were delighted to stay at Bill's cottage. The property exceeded our expectations - full of historic charm, yet beautifully maintained and spotless. The yard was larger than it looked in photos, and the sandy swim area was perfect for our kiddos to splash around in. 10 out of 10!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Nast

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Our Grandparents built this house on beautiful Lake George. As the story goes, Alexander and Belle came up from New York City in the 20’s and rented a summer cottage on Diamond Point. They decided to explore the yet undeveloped east side of the lake by row boat. While on the water, a storm blew-in and this beach was the only place they could pull the boat to land. They loved what they found and inquired of its availability.

It just so happened that this area of the lake was a land grant from King George III to the Oakley Estate (locals who favored the King) with the stipulation from the King that the tall pine trees remain available to the crown for ship masts. The property was purchased in 1926. With the help of his brother-in-law Judd, who was an engineer by trade, they built the original cottage. In the late 1960’s, as the family continued to grow, the main cottage had a major renovation and the second cottage was built.

Alexander was a prolific painter who’s works you’ll enjoy throughout the house. His daughter painted his portrait that hangs on the porch. Five generations have grown up here with lasting memories. Our grandparents had a dream, to create a gift on Lake George for their family to enjoy for generations. We hope by sharing this dream with you, you will come to appreciate all the beauty that is Lake George.

What makes this property unique

At the end of a private road, you will find this charming, beautifully renovated original Adirondack Camp with a walk-in, sandy beach. You won't find this anywhere else on the East side of the lake.
