My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Becky’s cottage. The cottage is convenient to the village, but due to its location in the cove it feels private. We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming area, dock space and lawn for yard games. Becky and her family were incredibly welcoming and kind. We hope to be back to enjoy this magical property again. Highly recommend!

I'm almost tempted to not give it 5 stars for everything because I don't want it to book up and then we can't go back:) The cottage was wonderful but the property is wow, left me speechless when I first saw it. Incredible views, multiple access points to the water including a small beach that my children could play on. I've been coming to Lake George all my life, but this stay was special.

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 Katie

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.
