Location - Lake House is situated directly on the lake on the west shore of Lake George. It lies 6 miles north of Lake George Village on 1.1 acres of land. Views from the house and yard are of Boon Bay, one of the lake's smaller bays, tiny Rush Island, and across the lake to Pilot Knob and Buck mountains.
The House - Constructed in stages as the family's needs grew, Lake House contains many levels of living area and provides an unusual degree of privacy for its residents. Rooms are large, their walls paneled with knotty pine, and their floors made of oak, except for one room whose floors are pine. Ceilings are high and decorations sparse, lending an atmosphere of space and relaxation. Every room except one looks out over the lake and mountains.
The main room is a large living and dining area with a kitchen at one end.
It contains a large gas-fired woodstove (for ambience only--the oil
furnace provides central heat), the TV (with cable), VCR, CD and DVD
players, and radio (receiving NPR at 89.5). The dining table seats twelve
comfortably.
The kitchen is equipped with a four-burner gas stove with oven, a refrigerator and dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, a toaster oven, a blender, and a microwave oven. Pots and pans are abundant; silverware and dinnerware will accommodate a group of ten. A private well supplies tap water, which is filtered. Guests provide paper products, soaps, and food wraps and may wish to bring a favorite small appliance or utensil.
The large master bedroom with a king-size bed, has a balcony overlooking
the lake, a sitting area furnished with a futon sofa, a walk-in closet,
and a full bath with skylight.
The bedroom over the kitchen also has a walk-in closet and its own full bath with skylight. It is furnished with a queen-size bed and a small single bed.. This room has the one disadvantage that sounds from the kitchen carry up into it.
On a lower floor are three bedrooms and two full baths. The front bedroom has twin beds that can be made up as a king-size bed. The back bedroom has a queen-size bed. One bath is off this room. The other bath opens onto the hallway. The third room is a den-bedroom combination with double doors closing off a room with an antique double bed. This room opens out onto a porch overlooking the yard and lake. The den portion contains a futon sofa and an assortment of books, games, and puzzles for the guests’ entertainment. The futon sofas here and in the master bedroom open out into full-size beds.
A highchair, a booster seat, and baby gates are available for small children. A standard crib is available for a one-time set- up fee of $25.
In the basement are a standard-size washer and dryer and a large counter for folding. Guests provide their own detergent and other laundry products. All baths have a shower and tub combination and counter space around the basin. All bed linens are furnished, as are a bath towel and wash cloth for each guest, bath mats, and dish towels. Guests may want to bring extra bath towels. The flat rate for unlimited local calls from the 900 cordless phone in the kitchen is included in the rental fee; all other calls must be charged to a calling card. The number will be provided ahead of time to leave with family and friends back home.
Gore Mountain, a 40-minute drive, is open from mid-November to mid-April. It has snowmaking on 95 percent of its 60 trails, 12 percent of which are easy, 58 percent more difficult, and 30 percent very difficult. Its summit elevation is 3,600 feet; its vertical drop, 2,100 feet. It offers 9 lifts: one gondola, 2 quads, 3 doubles, one high-speed triple, and 2 surface.
Cross-country skiers can find trails in Pack Forest near the Hudson River (20 minutes), Crandall Park in Glens Falls (30 minutes), and at Gore Mountain (40 minutes).
The county and a private association maintain an extensive system of snowmobile trails in the region. Pamphlets and maps of the trails will be found in the house.

Pets
Your pet is allowed to accompany you on your vacation
provided permission is obtained ahead of time. A pet fee of $75 for
a weekly rental or $40 for a weekend will be charged. The town of Bolton does have a leash law, so
a dog must be leashed whenever it leaves the property. To help prevent
loss of the animal we will supply an ID tag that gives the owner's phone
number. Your dog is given a clean bed, too.
Payment Policies - A deposit
of one half the rental rate is required when a reservation is made, with
the balance and the security deposit due 60 days before arrival. The reservation
deposit is nonrefundable unless the period you rented is taken by another
party, in which case a 10 percent fee is retained. The amount
of security deposit varies from $100 to $500 depending on the number of guests
and the length of stay. This sum will be refunded in full provided
no damage has been done, no excess cleaning is required, recyclables are
managed as instructed, and the house is vacated by check-out time.
Check-in time is 3:00 P.M. of the first day rented. Check-out time is 10:00 A.M. of the last day.
