Came complete with some border collies to welcome us. I enjoyed a few stick throwing sessions. Only problem is that a few parts of the house (entrance to one of the bathrooms, stairs downstairs) can be a little tough to navigate. We were too early in the season to enjoy the water but the boat house looks beautifully equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Lamont

Host profile image
The Halcyon estate is family owned and loved. The property was originally purchased in the mid 1800's . The main house was built in 1890 and is still used by the family seven generations later.

Why they chose this property

The location and lake views from the property are ideal. We are located on a peninsula with a South facing view of Lake George village (perfect viewing for Lake George village fireworks on Thursday nights in the summer); views East and North across the lake to the mountains with great sunrises and moon rises.

What makes this property unique

We are never too crowded, so there is always a place for you to sit in the sun by the lake or be off to a quiet place.
