About this property

Dog friendly lakefront home w/fireplace near Lk George. Telecommuters welcome!

Remote workers welcome year-round! This pet-friendly waterfront home is tucked in the woods in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, but close to everything. Includes high-speed internet. There are abundant activities on the pond or nearby all year long.

Enjoy a relaxing time on a quiet 58-acre pond in the foothills of the Adirondacks. In the summer you can enjoy a relaxing day on the peaceful pond in the pedal boat, canoe or on one of the Stand-Up Paddleboards. There are also attachable seats which make the SUPs feel like open kayaks. Spend an evening around the campfire eating S’mores, telling ghost stories and making memories.

In the fall the foliage is gorgeous, and local views abound!

We are close to several ski centers, such as West Mountain Ski Center, Gore Mountain, and Hickory Ski Center. In the winter there is skiing, snowmobile trails nearby and cross country skiing and ice fishing on the pond to name a few, or just curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book.

The soothing atmosphere of the deck is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or while gathered around with family and friends relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. The two sliders offer the same views from inside in the colder months.

15 min from Glens Falls and Queensbury, 20 min from Lake George, 45 min from Saratoga Springs, 1 hour from Albany International Airport.

This is a smoke-free property. The dock, watercraft and firepit are shared with the cabin next door.

Charming lakeside getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this cute house by the lake. The home was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Waking up to the lake view was a treat, and the peaceful surroundings made it a perfect escape. Highly recommend for a quiet, scenic getaway!

What a beautiful, comfortable home in a wonderful and relaxing lakefront setting! We had two days of chartered fishing on Lake George out of Dunham’s Bay Marina. The location was ideal since we did not need to drive through Lake George Village or Queensbury when travelling to and from the marina. Everything about the house was perfect.

Winter Escape

Our short winter getaway to see the ice castles was very relaxing. The home at Copeland Pond was very comfortable & we & our 2 large dogs settled in nicely. It was private, very clean & everything was thoughtfully provided for from the necessities to the smallest of items, all with a personal touch. Very convenient location for all the amenities Lake George has to offer. The owners were very welcoming & accessible. It is a very scenic & peaceful lake & we would definitely recommend a stay there. 4 wheel drive vehicle recommended in winter as the road to the house was icy.

Copeland Pond

Good facility and very clean. Pond is quite nice, but no fish bites. Woods and overall property very nice. Grill is a good amenity. Kitchen is pretty well stocked in terms dinner & flatware, but lacking some pots and pans. Grill utensils are minimal and could be improved.

Thanks for your lovely review! I see that I need to move the grill utensils from where they hang in the laundry room to hang on the grill and add info to our manual that the pots and pans are in two places, both in the cabinet beside and in the drawer underneath the oven. I will do that now so that future guests hopefully aren't frustrated by that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. We look forward to your return visit!

An Adirondack Gem in the Woods on the Pond

House was very clean and set up with everything you need (towels, beach towels, pots, pans, dishes, etc.). The private pond was clean and very quiet. My family and I stayed for a week, in July and had an excellent time. Wish we could've stayed longer! Most of our time was spent outside, on the deck or dock or in the pond. Incredible sunsets, fishing, views, wildlife (deer, chipmunks, hummingbirds, etc.). My teenage sons and dog loved the paddleboards, pedal boat and canoe. Fire pit set-up is great too. It's location is close to Lake George Village, other local restaurants and shopping. Linda and John, the owners, had excellent communication and are very responsive. Would love to stay again during the fall and winter too!

Affordable Getaway on Shared Property

Our group, 2 couples in our 40's and one senior dog, were happy and mostly comfortable throughout our 3-night stay. We enjoyed paddleboarding and sunset views. We spent much time cooling off by the dock where the pond's floor wasn't too squishy. The house was well-appointed and the hosts left some goodies for us which were appreciated! Guests can pack lightly knowing most things they might need are available. As advertised, the outdoor areas, including the dock, campfire, and paddleboards (etc) are all shared with the cabin next door. There is very little privacy between the two properties, which could be uncomfortable for some. The hosts were friendly and their presence was apparent, ensuring we had what we needed, cleaning the property next door, letting us know their friends would be arriving next door on our last full day, and asking to take out the trash for us the night before our departure (instructions would have sufficed). The home is older (with carpeting nearly everywhere) but well-tended and clean. We were pleasantly surprised by the spacious living room and comfortable beds. The upstairs bedroom took time to cool off and air-out but, with A/C's and fans, our friends were comfortable overnight. I'd be most excited to come back with a larger group- sharing the adjoining properties with friends or family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and felt it was a good value.

It was great to get to meet you during your stay. Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review. When you decide to return with friends, feel free to reach out to find out when both residences are available together. They do book quickly, so the earlier you are able to plan, the better chance of getting your choice of dates.

We recently stayed at this lake home with our 2 boys & 2 dogs and we loved it!!! The home was really comfortable and clean & the hosts were very friendly. They really did think of everything when stocking the home! Everyone felt so comfortable & relaxed in the home. The view of the lake from the deck was really pretty & the area is quiet and peaceful.We were so grateful for the gated in deck-awesome feature when traveling with dogs (would be great if you’re traveling with small children too!) The outside was just as nice, very well kept. It was chilly when we visited, but we were still able to enjoy the water using the canoe, paddle boat & water boards the host provided. The water was pretty clear & I bet it’s great swimming in the summer! Overall, it was a great experience & exactly what we were hoping for!! Would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
I have enjoyed my time at the pond for many years and find that I love seeing the delight on others' faces as they get to experience it as well.

This is the last piece of lakefront property which has passed down through my husband's family for several generations, since the 1800s. While he grew up, my husband and his family spent summers in the camp; and on retirement his parents custom-built the year-round home which is welcoming guests today.

I think of this quiet corner of the world as a little slice of heaven and hope you will feel the same!

Why they chose this property

This year-round home is nestled in the woods on a private pond, yet is close to everything you could desire. There is high-speed internet and an adjustable desk in the living room, making it convenient to work remotely. There is always something to do here or nearby, or just relax and unwind!

What makes this property unique

The peaceful location is so soothing. Personally, I can't imagine a better place to just unwind.
There are several watercraft available during the spring, summer and fall. Cross country skiing across the pond once the ice is thick enough is fun, and many people enjoy ice fishing.
There is a gas insert in the fireplace to enjoy on those cool evenings, and the views are amazing year-round!

You never know when you might see deer strolling through the property. Everyone has been loving the hummingbirds who are here from approximately early May to mid September.

This cottage seems secluded, but is close to everything!

There are some excellent restaurants within 5-15 minutes.

The cottage has high-speed Wi-Fi and an adjustable desk for your convenience. We had a remote worker who told me the internet was seamless and that she loved how relaxed she felt while working because she was able to enjoy the view.

We are close to several ski centers such as West Mountain Ski Center, Gore Mountain and hickory Ski Center. We are also close to Lake George, Saratoga Springs (think horse racing and performing arts center) and only about an hour from Albany International Airport.

There is a motocross track within 2 miles. Golden Goals is practically around the corner.

Weekends in February are Winter Carnival Time! Attend the Lake George Winter Carnival for Cookoffs, Contests, Car Races, Outhouse Races & More. A lot of fun!

Adirondack Balloon Festival in September is one of the largest in the country.

Queensbury and Glens Falls are only about 15-20 minutes away with shopping centers, mall, restaurants and grocery stores.

Americade in Lake George is always a big event and lots of family fun!

Lake George has an annual antique car show.

There are lots of fun activities in the Cool Insuring Arena (Formerly Glens Falls Civic Center) throughout the year.

Check out the event schedules for any of these and more online!
