About this property

Adirondacks Lakefront Relaxation: Waterfront A-frame Cottage on Lake Luzerne!

We call our little waterfront A-frame cottage "Big Vista" for obvious reasons. The prettiest views we have ever seen will be yours every moment you spend here. The rustic A-Frame cottage is right on (and above) the lake providing unmatched views.
No electric wires, no road, and no driveway between you and the beautiful water!

The interior is knotty pine in the main living area and has tasteful Adirondack decor throughout. The master suite has a King size bed and its own bathroom (and a coffee bar!) and covered porch, perfect for quietly sipping your coffee lakeside each morning. From the screened porch on the main level, enjoy panoramic views of the morning mist rising from the lake and sunrise over Cobble Mountain. The screen porch is also perfect for dining, or to gather for family game nights. The main deck is roomy with a glass table, chairs, a hammock, a propane fire pit, and a propane grill. The tall pines surrounding the property provide plenty of cool shade on the hot summer afternoons.

The updated kitchen offers just enough of what is needed, including a full-sized fridge, induction cooktop stove, 24" electric oven, coffee pot, electric tea kettle, and microwave.

The upstairs bedroom sleeps two with a single and a full log style bed. A new large window was just installed in the upper bedroom which also features three skylights and an A/C unit for those warm summer nights.

The stars of the show at Big Vista are the incredible views, covered screen porch, main deck, private floating swim dock, and your own private sundeck lakeside on a gorgeous Adirondack lake! Our floating dock is a blast for paddling from, swimming, jumping off, or just hanging out in the sun. Lake Luzerne is limited to 7.5 hp motors, so, without any speedboats buzzing around, the clean waters are ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling.

Lake Luzerne is just 10 miles from Lake George Village, so a visit to faster-paced nightlife with restaurants and shops is nearby.

When visiting Big Vista, you will have use of a 15’ two-seat canoe, two kayaks, and two paddleboards, plus all life jackets and paddles needed.

About the host

Hosted by Robert McCutcheon

Host profile image
Burl and Lori have owned Big Vista since September 2021. 28 years ago, they set out with the dream of owning a vacation property on a lake in the Adirondacks and fell in love with the Lake Luzerne property the very moment they crested the driveway and the massive lake-view unfolded in front of them. Since then, they have updated many parts of the rustic camp and added details such as fresh paint, updated kitchen appliances, new fixtures and toilets, Twig drawer-pulls, and a coffee nook. They will continue to work at bringing it back to its original beauty, and, of course, enjoying the views and the lake in the process.

Why they chose this property

Big Vista is simply one in a million: direct waterfront on the lake, elevated for breathtaking views, adorable and surprisingly roomy A-frame rustic cottage, all within minutes of so many attractions in the southern Adirondack Park.

What makes this property unique

Eagles, Loons, sunrises over Cobble Mountain, quiet and private location, gorgeous decks and porches, private dock and swim platform, and yet so close to conveniences and restaurants! Simply a breathtaking view from every level of the house!
