Wonderful little place!

If you want to stay right on the water in Lake George, stay at Happy Nest! The views are spectacular! At night I went to sleep to waves lapping and woke up in the morning to Loons calling. It is a beautiful spot! The apartment itself very clean and well appointed. Very close to everything in Pilot Knob. Loved, loved, loved Happy Nest and will not hesitate to stay again! Highly recommend!
