Great stay

We had a great stay. The home was very clean and cool, there were ample supplies- paper products, towels, kitchen items, etc., and the complimentary water dispenser was much appreciated. We loved spending time on the deck, the lake community was very quiet and safe, check in was simple, and owner was very responsive when we reached out with a question. Great stay over all and we hope to find this again next summer when we're back in the area.

We had a lovely easy time of things at Lakeview cottage. Would definitely recommend for a couple or a family with two children. Having to use a top bunk is not really for 69 year old women.Easy drive to antiquing in Balston Spa and Saratoga for a show at SPAC.

Family lodging

We loved Lakeview Cottage. It was spacious. Even with 4 adults staying we had plenty of room. The furniture is sturdy & comfortable. The deck is amazing. The entire property is warm & welcoming.There were games we enjoyed playing. Just all around the perfect place for this visit.

Relaxing lake hideaway

Lake house was great. Our trip to the area to visit relatives was very satisfying. Amenities of our host’s house were excellent. Kitchen, living rm, dining, washer dryer, deck with bbq grill that we used. Saw the foosball table in the pictures and was indifferent about it..but it actually was the source of some friendly competitive fun… very enjoyable. I recommend this location and will perhaps have a return visit myself in the future.

Fictional Reviews

Honest Review: “Lakeview” CottageThe name Lakeview feels a bit misleading. The main view from the deck overlooks a rock pit, and while you can glimpse the lake through the trees, it’s quite distant.Upon entering, you’ll notice a floor air conditioner in the kitchen, venting through a window. The main living space relies on two ceiling fans—which also serve as the only overhead lighting on the first floor. Unfortunately, during our stay, with outdoor temperatures at 93 degrees, it was still 82 degrees inside. The only effectively cooled space was the upstairs bedroom, which has a window AC unit.The bathrooms could use some attention. The main shower has two fixtures: a handheld sprayer that didn’t work and a small high-pressure nozzle with very low water pressure. Additionally, neither bathroom has ventilation.Regarding the water—this property uses well water, which has a strong odor. We were only made aware of this the morning of check-in, and it did affect our comfort level with using the water.We also noticed cleaning concerns, including hair left in the shower, despite a 125 cleaning fee.Overall, we found the property did not meet our expectations in terms of comfort, amenities, and value for the price. We had booked for two nights but chose not to stay even one full night.If ratings allowed, we’d give this a zero.
