About this property

Lakeside w/dock for boat, fishing & swimming! Great porches for dining & views

Relaxation Central is a lovely lake side home which sits right on the water with a new boat dock and great views in Dunhams Bay in Lake George.

It is a 4 bedroom home with wonderful porches on the bedroom floor and the main floor which look right out on the lake. In the summer grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and sit outside your bedroom on the upstairs porch and enjoy watching the ducks on the lake, or do alittle fishing right on the docks. For early birds take your coffee to the 30 foot porch on the main level or right down to the dock for an up front and personal view of the lake. Evening cocktails and dinner are amaxing on the main porch! There is plenty of room for sitting on the various wicker furniture and or dining at the spacious outddoor dining table. Its a beautiful view of the lake and enjoyable to watch the kayakers or boaters going by as well right from the enclosed screen porch. After dinner watch the sunset from the porch or dock or light up the firepit and cook up some smores! Although there is a smart TV in the livingroom if the weather is good I'm betting you wont use it!

Relaxation Central is less than 15 minutes from exit 21 off the Northway, but a 100 miles away from the crazy lives we all lead. Bring your boat if your have one or rent one if you'd like from the marina right down the road. Swimming is right off the dock and the sunsets are awesome! We have two kayaks and a sunfish which you are welcome to use. We also have a 8 foot round floating sunning tube which is anchored off the dock. There are also a couple of floating tubes and noodles under the house.

If you are visiting us in the fall or winter there are many hiking trails in the area and skiers are within 1/2 hour from Gore Mountain and West Mountain and less than 2 hours from Whiteface Mountain. Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburgh is one of the most original mountains in upstate New York. There are several winter festivals on the lake and if you are a snowmobiiler there are over 100 + miles of trails connected to Lake George, many of which are grommed during the season. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing areas are plentiful in the area.

Take in the local sites or do nothing at all and enjoy a relaxing vacation at the lake! There are 4 bedrooms, one with a king bed and 2 with queen beds and a 4th with a king and a set of bunks.

Part of the house was built in 1895 and was one of the original fishing camps on the lake. We have reclaimed this side as well and this is the location of the 4th bedroom which includes a king and a set of bunks upstairs. It is the only room with has a vented portable air conditioner. Downstairs is a childrens playroom which also includes a pull out double sleeper sofa. This side of the house also has a new bathroom and another medium size dining room which is located in the site of the original camp kitchen. The original camp cooking stove is at the far end of the porch and is often used as a bar in the warmer months. The older camp side of the house does not have heat yet so check with us if you are looking to stay at the house in the cooler months. We do hope to have it heated in the future..

The main house has a full kitchen and living room, a bathroom with a tub shower, and a second bathroom with a toilet and sink. The porch on the main floor has a dining table which seats 8 as well as additional couches and chairs for sitting and eating. There is also a dining room inside which easily sits 6 to 8 and an overflow small room in the back of the kitchen for dining or playing games. The camp side has the 4th bedroom, new bathroom, child's playrom with pull out and the inside dining room in the camp kitchen. Both sides are connected through the main kitchen. There is no door there in the warmer months.

Lakeside living is casual and you'll enjoy your dining on the porches during the early summer to mid fall. There is a barbecue grill for cooking and also a seating area for evening respites. The docks are deep water docks and will easily house a 24 foot boat. Dunhams Bay is a no wake zone so your boat is very protected here. The water is pretty quiet for fishing and swimming too. Bring your poles - we have actually caught a pike right off the dock!

If you are visiting us in the fall or winter there are many hiking trails in the area and skiers are within 1/2 hour from Gore Mountain and West Mountain and less than 2 hours from Whiteface Mountain. Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburgh is one of the most original mountains in upstate New York. There are several winter festivals on the lake and if you are a snowmobiiler there are over 100 + miles of trails connected to Lake George, many of which are grommed during the season. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing areas are plentiful in the area. February is Winter Carnival month and it is really something to watch the car and motorcycle races which take placed on a plowed track on the 18 inch frozen lake! Check it out on line!


We love Relaxation Central and we hope you will too!

Lake George Vacation

We loved the house and location. The view from the screened in decks is gorgeous. Everything was well maintained and clean. Plenty of life jackets and floaties for the lake and swimming off the dock was a blessing because it was in the 90s the week we were there. We had a great time with our children and grandchildren. I would have no problem recommending this property to friends and family.

Location is perfect: on the water on a no-wake bay with an ideal view of the sunset from the porch. The house itself is perfect: roomy, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could want for a relaxing vacation. And Kim is the perfect host: always ready to answer any of your questions. Only wish we could have stayed all summer!

Kim the owner of the home was so nice and Very accommodating and available any time if we needed to talk, ask questions or needed something. Very nice, beds were so comfy, the most beautiful relaxing view. Loved the double porches and sliding glass doors upstairs and downstairs. We had 3 children with us and they had an amazing time fishing, swimming and kayaking on the lake!

Great house, great location

The house is cozy and well equipped (including new and useful pots/pans etc - so many rentals are really lacking in the kitchen department but not this one!) Beautiful lake views. Awesome fireplace with ample wood. Kim was very responsive, friendly and easy to work with. We had a great winter visit - the frozen lake is quiet and beautiful!

Fun family get away.

Even though the weather was a mixed bag we enjoyed every minute. Hanging out on the porch was our favorite spot, great collection of blankets helped in the cold. By end of week it warmed up and we enjoyed our 64 degree swims. Our hostess was always available if needed, a great communicator. The cottage has everything we needed and more. It is very well outfitted. The beds are comfortable. There were more than enough bedrooms for our family of 6. Stairs were still doable for grandparents in their 70’s but would not work for anyone with mobility issues. Kudos to these owners for creating a welcoming and comfortable vacation home with curated “Lake decor”.

Amazing Property… Wish we had more time!

We had an unbelievable vacation at Relaxation Central. The house was immaculate and we were so excited for all the water activities at the dock… kayaking, swimming, fishing…as well as the fire pit at night. We spent most of our time watching the boats go by from the huge screened in porch and there are some great hiking trails very close to the house that we tried to visit daily. The house is close to town for picking up essentials, yet remote and peaceful on the protected cove it sits on. Kim really goes out of her way to make sure any questions are answered, and she takes pride in making sure you have the ideal vacation. I am so glad we had this experience at a perfect waterfront retreat.

We were a group of 6 adults and 2 children (ages 3-5). Wedding was just up the road. Great location, plenty of off road parking and spectacular views of the lake. The older section had toys the kids LOVED!! We had a social gathering after the wedding! Plenty of room and the kitchen was very well supplied. Kim (the owner) was responsive and helpful.

Perfect Getaway

Relaxation Central is a beautiful place to stay!! We’ve stayed at a number of VRBO rentals and this home had it all! We loved every minute on the dock and had more than enough room inside on the one day it rained! The owner is wonderful to work with. It’s only a few miles from the village if you need, but being in Dunham’s Bay takes you away from the bustle. It’s close to hike Buck Mountain ( it’s an awesome view up too!) and just down the road from Cleverdale ( a small store/deli). Also close to bike/running/walking path! We would highly recommend this property-we’re hoping to get back!! It’s really hard to leave!

Lakefront Oasis

This is a beautiful home right on Lake George. We went in the off-season (April) but the location is close enough to everything but a far away for some tranquility. House has a dock right on the water. Screened in porches outside the bedrooms and main floor. Great to eat/hang out/sit & read. Plenty of room for a family gathering. We didn't use the whole house. TVs allow you to watch your own Netflix, Amazon, DisneyPlus, etc. I would gladly recommend or stay here again. Kim is a great host!

Wonderful Stay at Lake George

This place is absolutely fantastic. The pictures on this site (at least as of the writing of this post) do not do justice ... The screened in porches are great. West facing views means great sunset views. Kim is very attentive, without being intrusive. The house is well-equipped, and beds are comfortable. Towels and clean sheets are provided; towels need to be laundered by guests pre-checkout. Kitchen is clean and well-equipped. WiFi and Amazon Alexa work well. Guaranteed to be a fun time!

Truly one of the best vacations we ever had. The porch anytime of the day melted any bit of stress away. Kim was so easy to reach and extremely helpful. Pictures and words don't say enough. You don't need anything the house has it all. Being in Dunham's bay and not having our boat get rocked with the slow speed no wake made my husband very happy. Kim thank you for giving us exactly what we needed :)

Perfect in every way!

The house itself was immaculate and the most well-equipped we've ever stayed in. Kim was a wonderful hostess, always checking in, ready to answer any questions, and offering good suggestions. She had binder full of menus and info on all the local attractions. The location was ideal! Dunham Bay is a "no wake" zone, so you are not bothered by speeding motor boats & jet skis, and yet you are still close enough to Lake George Village to enjoy all it has to offer. The screened in porches were the place to be if you weren't on, or in, the water. 'Relaxation Central' is aptly named. Hope to return soon!

Wonderful lake house in a great location

We absolutely loved our stay in Relaxation Cottage this past Columbus Day weekend despite the not so great weather we had for half of it. The lake house is so cozy and quaint and in the perfect location close to lake George village. We couldn’t get enough of the porches! Mornings out on the porch with a cup of coffee over looking the lake couldn’t get any better. And we enjoyed dinner out there as well. The decor was very inviting too with little twinkle lights that lit up fall decorations both my daughter and I loved. It’s nice to see a vacation rental (we’ve rented a fair share of houses over the years) that is maintained and decor changed with the seasons. The second and third night got pretty chilly so we took advantage of the fireplace and the board games they had there. Kim made everything very easy and responded to any questions I had right away. The house was very clean upon arrival and we had no issues with anything. Thank you Kim for allowing us to stay in your home. I’d recommend this house to anyone for all seasons!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Burgess

Host profile image
Jay and I live in the Hudson Valley about 2 hours south of the Lake George area. We love the Lake George area and have come here vacationing and boating with our family for 25 years.
We have hiked the high peaks in the Adirondacks, canoed in the lakes and rivers and camped in the mountains. We hope you'll like it too!

Why they chose this property

It has been our life long dream to have a house on Lake George. As the years went by it seemed like it would never happen. Having rented many homes around the lake we have always loved Dunhams Bay with the quiet wake zones and close proximity to Lake George. We wanted a house large enough to gather the family and have friends come to enjoy the lake. This summer we had the opportunity to purchase Relaxtion Central from our friends of 20 years. We always felt at home here and know you will too.

What makes this property unique

The two screen porches offer you views of the lake rarely seen on houses on Lake George since the house sits so close to the lake. The 60 foot docks provide lots of sitting and sunning space and room for kayaks and water sports. The ample parking at the top of the hill allows room for 3 or 4 cars if necessary.
