Our second year staying at Peaceful Waters and everything was perfect. The house is just beautiful. Clean and comfortable and probably one of the most beautiful spots on the lake. I spent most of my time on the new spot down by the beach on a lounge chair. Beautiful views. The fishing was great too!
Perfect spot with lounge chairs.

Nice property. Well located and appointed. Furniture in living area could be improved in future to be more comfortable.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug, 2024
Our living room aesthetic reflects an Adirondack motif employing Stickley craftsman furniture known for its comfort. The furnishings are accurately portrayed in the photos as well as the descriptor. Unfortunately, a reclining futon or pullout couch could be construed by the regulators as an attempt to circumvent our occupancy which is limited to 8 ppl.

Vacation Spot

Terrific location for relaxing and spending time with family. Watching the moon rise from either the waterfront porch or fire pit patio was breathtaking. Small beach was excellent for young child and great for the adults to simply lean back and float along in the pristine water. We appreciated the meal seating, inside and out, that easily accommodated our group of 7 adults. The location was less than a 1/2 hour drive to Lake George Village. Accommodations were comfortable and clean. We had a wonderful stay at this property.
