    Waterfront Farmhouse in the Woods: Canoe & Kayak!

    This charming and recently remodeled 1930s Queensbury cottage sits on the shore of Glen Lake, offering a private, peaceful lakefront retreat! Along with a prime waterfront location, you can enjoy the home’s 0.3 private acres complete with a charcoal grill, kayak, fire pit, and more! This tranquil 2-bed, 1.5-bath getaway is perfect for family entertainment and relaxation. After a lovely day on the lake, roast tasty s’mores around the campfire while taking in the refreshing lake air!

    -- THE PROPERTY --

    Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Twin beds | Sleeping Porch: Twin Daybed

    Enjoy lake living at its best from this quaint vacation rental cottage. The home is fully furnished with all the comforts of home, along with prime lake amenities and recent updates.

    Whenever you’re not on the lake, gather together on the leather couches in the living room to catch up with your favorite shows on the flat-screen Smart TV.

    Afterward, head over to the full kitchen to whip up a home-cooked feast for your loved ones. Gather at the kitchen table, or bring your spread to the front porch to dine amidst amazing lake views.

    Stay out on the porch with some wine until sunset, and then head outside to roast some marshmallows over the fire pit. After a busy day of kayaking, canoeing, and swimming, you’ll love sharing your favorite memories around the roaring fire.

    With sleeping arrangements in the 2 bedrooms and sleeping porch everyone in your travel group will find a cozy space to spend the night!

    -- THE LOCATION --

    You’ll hardly need to leave this lakefront cottage during your entire stay, as you’ll have all the entertainment you need right in the backyard. Fish known to be in the lake are brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Almost guaranteed to catch a sunfish with a hot dog!

    Take a stroll around Lake George’s quaint town just 15 minutes away to explore the shops, museums, and delicious local restaurants. The Outlets at Lake George are located 3 miles away.

    After shopping, you can refuel at Caffe Vero, grab a craft brew at Adirondack Pub & Brewery, savor barbecue at Smokey Joe’s Saloon & Grill, or enjoy Glen Lake views from the Docksider Restaurant's outdoor deck in the summer months.

    In the mood for a memorable meal? Head to Lake George Steamboat Company in the evening and enjoy a dinner cruise out on the water.

    Great week at the lake!
    Our family of 4 had a terrific week staying at this property. The lake is beautiful and the canoe, kayaks and paddle boards supplied made it so easy to fully enjoy it. Cabin had everything we needed and Kayla was so responsive and helpful.

    Extremely pleasant.
    My family and I enjoy every moment. Very pleasant to wake up and have breakfast a few steps from the lake. Everything is exceptional as is the description and photos online. Very clean, organized with everything you need and very well maintained. You only have to bring food and drink, the rest is in the cabin. We love this place. Familia Puglia.

    Girlfriends Weekend
    We had an amazing time at this property. When they say it’s right on the water, it is!! Just a beautiful view. We sat by the fire pit the first night and laughed and caught up. It was rainy the second night, but the porch has large windows looking out on the lake and that was almost as good. We did have one minor problem with the oven (couldn’t get it to go on) and the contact person and the owner were both SO responsive and quick with helping us figure it all out. You can tell they really care that people enjoy their stay. I’d totally go there again. Wonderful weekend and just what we needed after this crazy year.

    Stay was good
    Being right on the lake was great! But for the amount of money we spent the house could have been better. I’ve stayed at cheaper houses that were in better shape. Having no air was a little rough during the day, we ended up putting fans in the windows that helped a little bit. The location was pretty good though.

    Beautiful little cottage on Glen Lake
    Thank you for allowing us to use your kayak and rowboat. They made all the difference and made up for the fact that there was no dock to fish from! The cottage was lovely and had everything we could have wanted! never knew that a washer and dryer were necessities, but they came in very handy! It was great having WiFi as well so we could stay connected all week. The only suggestions I could make are: 1. Maybe a kitchen island, since there is not a lot of surface space for cooking. 2. Landscaping the back yard and planting grass. We were really muddy and sandy and it was hard not to track that into the house! 3. The tarp on the lake floor was kind of weird. Was that to cover the muck? A small, cheap dock would have been great to fish from, since the fish won't go near that tarp. 4. The lock box was flimsy and hard to use. We needed help getting in and getting out! Thanks to Kayla for her assistance. I certainly don't mean to complain! We had a wonderful stay and we would absolutely rent this cottage again! Glen Lake is private, unspoiled and clean! It was a pleasure renting this little cottage and we thank you for a wonderful stay!
