Lakefront Rustic 1930s dog friendly Cabin w/lg screened porch near Lake George
Belmont Stakes! Remote workers welcome! Dog friendly. Enjoy a relaxing time on a quiet 58-acre lake in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Play in the pedal boat, canoe or on one of the Stand-Up Paddleboards, swim or fish. You can even now use the paddleboards like open kayaks with the detachable seats. Spend an evening around the campfire eating S’mores, telling ghost stories and making memories. This unique property was actually built and used as a vacation rental in the 1930s until 1954.

Take in the views of the lake and the mountains while cuddled in one of the rocking chairs, or just grab a book and relax.

We had a great long weekend, the cabin is rustic as described but comfortable and roomy. We enjoyed the big screened porch and easy access to the pond, where we spent most of our time. Nice fire pit too!

I liked the set up of the cabin, it was clean and homey and so many of the little things were made available such as coffee, utensils. It was tranquil and serene.
This property and location is amazing. Close enough to everything but far enough away that it was sooooo quiet. Loved every minute of it!!!!
Manager of property was awesome.
We loved this rustic cabin on the pond
Screened in porch was lovely to sit in when it briefly rained.
Dogs had a blast in the pond !
Definitely would recommend and return !
We stayed at the cabin this summer with our two kids and our dog and had a great time. The boys loved the paddle boards and swimming in the pond. The location is quaint but close enough to Lake George or Fort Ann to go out for dinner after enjoying some peace and quiet all day. The cabin is well stocked with everything you’d need to make a meal - honestly probably the best equipped rental property we’ve stayed in.
Only stayed 2 nights with my daughter and her dog. We needed a quick, quiet getaway. Great spot very quiet and relaxing. Cabin was perfect for our quick trip. The hosts provide everything you need inside and out. Could have sat on the porch for the entire time enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Thank you for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise.
Perfect spot. Right on the lake with a great dock for fishing/relaxing. Very quiet. The cabin is definitely old (not overly modernized) but I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to unwind and still he able to make short jaunts to Lake George or Vermont.
We enjoyed our stay at Copeland Pond very much. The owners do a super job maintaining the property. Supplied with all the basics for comfort and fun. Even the hummingbird feeder was full when we arrived. Nice quiet large pond. Good birding, and fishing right off the dock. Highly recommended!
We found this family-friendly and dog-friendly private cabin for a stay that felt like we were in the woods but close to everything the Lake George area has to offer. Linda was super friendly and helpful. The huge screened-in porch and large family room were perfect! Highly recommend!
Great stay at Linda’s camp! It was great having access to the water vessels off a very nice dock to relax on. We fished, we swam, and floated around the lake a lot. The cabin was nicely appointed and rustic as described. It should be noted that you share the outside space with another house so your quietness will depend on your neighbors.
Our first all-family vacation together in the north country was a great success all around. Our hosts Linda and John could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. Just the right amenities, a quiet setting on Copeland Pond near Lake George, and a throwback to the summer camps of long ago. We were five adults, one ten year-old, and THREE dogs, and everyone had room to breathe. Looking forward to returning soon!
The lake location of this cabin is unbeatable. The cabin is a little small, but fine for a group of four or five in a pinch. The location is a little remote - it's in the countryside, so don't expect a lot of stores to be close. The screened in porch is glorious to sit and relax on any time of day, and the dock and lake are beautiful especially in the morning. It's close to Lake George, and anything in the area of Lake George is reasonably accessible.
The cabin was quaint and clean. The beds were comfy. The porch and dock have ample chairs and seating, so bringing your own seating is not necessary.
We had a wonderful stay. The home was exactly as described. Photos do not do justice. Location was very quiet. Away from hustle and bustle of Lake George but within easy 20 min drive to Queensbury or Lake George. We had plenty of room for 6 adults. Gorgeous view of water from screened porch. Enjoyed use of paddle boards/kayaks. Home was spotless and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable.
Linda has provided everything you could want or need. Would definitely recommend this property.
We spend several days in this property, two couples and two dogs. We enjoyed everything about it, we used the paddle board, the row boat for fishing and navigating the pond. Our dogs enjoyed a few swims themselves. The fire pit was a hit among other things. The home is fully equipped with items for the stay, so you can pack light. It’s a beautiful place to recharge from the city life. We recommend 100%. The owner was attentive and easy to communicate. We already planning our next visit.
This stay was the perfect vacation place for our adult family of 5 and 2 dogs. The cabin had everything we could possibly need, great comfortable screened in porch to enjoy meals and enjoy the view of the pond and nature. The dock was so much fun complete with canoe, paddle boat and stand up kyaks. My husband spend hours fishing off the dock and i enjoyed soothing canoe trips around the pond. Couldn't ask for a better location if you want to go and do things in Lake George, which my kids took advantage of. Linda and her husband we excellent hosts, extremely responsive if we needed anything. Our only regret is we didn't take advantage of the great fire pit to make smores. Oh well, maybe next year. Highly recommend this cabin if you want a real Adirondack experience.
If childhood memories of warm summer days spent swimming & evenings watching the stars reflection dance on the water @ your family camp bring a feeling of comfort & nostalgia, then this is the place to stay. All that plus today's modern amenities & a convenient location make this camp a destination. 5 stars!!!

Beautiful place with very friendly host. The cabin is quaint and charming. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed a week in this cozy cabin. Our hosts were gracious and responded quickly with answers to any questions. The major draws for me were the covered porch with a view of the water, the dock, which was perfect for lounging and fishing, and the watercraft, especially the paddle boards that doubled as kayaks. The pond is clean, warm, and full of large mouth bass. The location is wonderful- secluded yet not too far from restaurants and everything the close by town of Lake George had to offer. With one bathroom, it was a little tight for my large family, but I can definitely see my husband, myself, and our golden retriever visiting again.

About the host
Hosted by Linda
I have enjoyed my time at the pond for many years and find that I love seeing the delight on others' faces as they get to experience it as well.
This is the last piece of lakefront property which has passed down through my husband's family for several generations, since the 1890s. While he grew up, he and his family spent summers in the camp; and on retirement his parents custom-built the year-round home which is welcoming guests today.
I think of this quiet corner of the world as a little slice of heaven and hope you will feel the same!
Why they chose this property
This year-round home is nestled in the woods on a private pond, yet is close to everything you could desire. There is high-speed internet and an adjustable desk in the living room, making it convenient to work remotely. There is always something to do here or nearby, or just relax and unwind!
What makes this property unique
There are several watercraft available during the spring, summer and fall. We now have seats and kayak paddles for the SUPs which make them like open kayaks if you decide to use them that way.
There is a gas "franklin style stove" to enjoy on those cool evenings, and the views are amazing!
You never know when you might see deer strolling through the property.
This cabin seems secluded, but is close to everything!
There are some excellent restaurants within 5-15 minutes.
The cabin has high-speed Wi-Fi for your convenience. We've already had a remote worker who told me the internet was seamless and that she loved how relaxed she felt while working because she was able to enjoy the view.
We are close to Lake George, Saratoga Springs (think horse racing and performing arts center) and only about an hour from Albany International Airport.
There is a motocross track within 2 miles. Golden Goals is practically around the corner.
Adirondack Balloon Festival in September is one of the largest in the country.
Queensbury and Glens Falls are only about 15-20 minutes away with shopping centers, mall, restaurants and grocery stores.
Americade in Lake George is always a big event and lots of family fun!
Lake George has an annual antique car show.
There are lots of fun activities in the Cool Insuring Arena (Formerly Glens Falls Civic Center) throughout the year.
