From the moment we pulled into the driveway I felt at peace. The cottage is off a gravel road in the woods and faces one of the most beautiful views of the lake I've ever seen. I could have lived on the porch the entire week of our stay - it's wide and spacious and so cozy - the perfect place for coffee in the morning or cocktails as the evening sun sets. I also enjoyed the spectacular views from the look out point a mile or so up the hiking trail from the cottage. The views only get better from the outdoor shower and wrap around decks. The cottage itself has ample room for friends and family and a cozy and comfortable feel as if you were staying in a beloved grandmother's house. I can't say enough about the cottage owner's, Bruce and Sandy. We've been staying at their rentals for 7 years now(6 years at Island View and this year at The Cottage) and from the very first visit, they've treated us like old friends. They are readily available for any help you might need and know everything there is to know about Lake George and the surrounding areas. They go out of their way to make sure their rental properties offer all the amenities you might need as well as being cozy, comfortable, and clean. Nearby activities I'd recommend is spending as much time on the lake as possible. We also started hiking and have found numerous trails throughout the area and with varying degrees of difficulty. We hope to hike Mt Marcy if we can come back in September! Oh, and don't forget a visit to The Wind Chill - the best ice cream place ever - not far from Hague on the way to Ticonderoga! In conclusion, I'd say - "If you want peace and serenity in a place that will literally take your breath away, come to Lake George and be sure to stay with Bruce and Sandy Rust - either at The Cottage or The Island View - it'll be a vacation you'll always remember!"
