This house was amazing! It is completely renovated and had everything we needed and more. The lake and outside space, yard, golf cart, and incredible views made our vacation beyond perfect. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect lake vacation for adults and small children. The family shares their yard with you—in separate spaces—and are extremely kind and helpful. The view is incredible. All 12 of us would be happy to return someday. Thank you so much David and family.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The lakefront property is breathtaking and the time we spent there was magical. Awesome family bonding! We loved being part of the Lake George traditions with the owner and his family, who went above and beyond to make it feel at home. Will definitely be back!

David and his family were gracious hosts allowing us to share their magical property on beautiful Lake George. Everything as advertised. Couldn't ask for more. Hope to be back again.

What a beautiful home we rented for our family. The owners of the property could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Made us feel right at home. Close to everything but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Most beautiful sunsets from this house. Highly recommend

The house and property were just beautiful. The layout of the house was spacious with plenty of seating and room to socialize. The view of the lake was spectacular. It was very convenient being able to dock our boat right outside of the house with easy access to the lake. The hosts and their family were so nice and helpful during our stay. The whole family really enjoyed their vacation and we would definitely rent this property again.

Yes, it's plain. Just like the pictures. Nothing fancy, but everything you need. Newly re-done, fully equipped kitchen (brand new appliances, including beautiful, big fridge, new stove & oven, dishwasher, and new Weber grill). Bedrooms are small (except for the master BR), but clean as a whistle. New mattresses, sheets, towels, etc. Huge living room. Outside has a huge sun deck (fully equipped with chairs, chaises, and umbrellas) with an amazing view of the Adirondacks. And the best part of all -- the most gracious hosts that you will ever meet (who live right next door and are anxious to get you whatever you might need).

We had a wonderful family vacation at this house on Lake George. The owners recently renovated the house and it is beautifully done. They were very responsive to any questions we had and very welcoming and friendly to us when we saw them on the property. The grounds are beautiful and great for kids. We will definitely be coming back!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Lake George, but this rental had some issues that would prevent us from renting it again. The pros: Fantastic location on a beautiful lake. Large house with plenty of bedrooms. Large yard that was great for whiffle ball and other games. Dedicated fire pit that we used for a campfire and cookout. Most appliances, at least one AC window unit and about half of the mattresses were relatively new. The owners seemed pleasant and friendly. The cons: The sinks and toilets seemed clean and the bedding seemed fresh, but the rest of the house needed a deep cleaning. The kitchen utensils and cookware were sorely lacking (for example, of the two manual can openers, one was completely non-functional and the other barely worked). The biggest issue was maintenance of the house, from basic (missing and mismatched lightbulbs, flaking exterior paint) to more serious (numerous ceiling stains indicating past or current leaks, non-functioning sinks in two bedrooms, an unusable shower stall in one bathroom and a broken window in the kitchen door). The owners do ask that issues be reported to them within 12 hours and that they will correct them. However, we didn’t see the point in reporting most of them, as they appeared to be ongoing issues that the owners most likely were aware of (the plumbing issues were mentioned in a review from earlier this summer and in one from 2019). We did report the broken window when we discovered it (it was covered by a interior window shade, and we only noticed it when we used the door to access the outdoor fire pit). The owner said it had happened at the beginning of the summer and was going to be fixed at the end of the season, and that he would send someone over the next day to make a temporary fix. As far as we could tell, no one ever came to look at it while we were there. All in all, while we made the best of the negatives and had a good family vacation, this rental was not fully as advertised and priced on the high side for its condition. It’s a shame, because we would happily return to this property next year if it were in better shape.

David could not have been nicer! His enthusiasm upon our arrival was a great way to start our trip. Other family members were always around during our stay if we had any questions and were kind enough to even lend us an extra anchor for our boat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dock and many dock amenities!!! We had another wonderful week in LG and hope to return next year!

The outdoor space and waterfront are fantastic – lots of space for lawn games, kids and pets, and a great dock for sunbathing and swimming. However, there were several maintenance issues, and we were particularly upset by the interactions with the property owners, who treated us in an abrasive and downright intimidating manner. Regarding the property, upon arrival on Saturday, we were informed the drain in one of the showers was not working and that a plumber wasn’t coming until Thursday (near the end of our stay). Given the number of full bathrooms was a primary motivator for renting, I expressed to the owner that we really need the shower drain fixed promptly or we would expect some type of refund. A plumber came on Wednesday, but we were informed the drain could not be fixed. It’s clear the shower drain has been an issue for quite some time based on a review from August 2019. It’s misleading for this property to be listed as having 3 full bathrooms on VRBO. Additionally, the faucet in one bathroom ran constantly, showers were grimy, and the back porch lights didn’t work so grilling for dinner required car lights and headlamps. We also had several uncomfortable interactions with the owners, who live nearby (there are several houses owned by family members on the grounds). On the first night, we walked down to the dock to sit by the water and have a fire. Immediately one of the family members approached us and rudely berated us for being there. We learned later that there is a strict 10pm noise ordinance (this was not mentioned in the house rules). It would have been fine if the owner politely informed us of this rather than attacking us verbally in such a disrespectful manner. A few days later, we were attempting to open the umbrella on the dock when this same person showed up and accused us of breaking it (completely ridiculous assumption). Again, it was the aggressive and intimidating demeanor that was upsetting. One other incident worth noting – a friend of ours who lives on the lake stopped by with his family on their boat. They stayed on the dock the entire time. It was later mentioned to us we had violated the ‘rule’ of 8 total guests on the property – we thought this meant the house. If the owners communicated this to us, we would have asked our friends to leave immediately.Overall, if you stay here, expect to be watched like hawks by the many family members that live nearby, and in some cases, be treated rudely and disrespectfully.

My wife and I came with our 3/5/7 year old boys plus grandma and grandpa, and we had a super time! The house is comfortable and spacious, and the owners and owners family were all super-friendly and accommodating. The rental house is one of several on a large beautiful property with a large grass field leading up to the water. Fishing was great off the docks. The diving board and water slide kept our 7 year old going non-stop all day. And the sandy-bottom swimming area was great for our less-daring 3- and 5-year olds: the water was a bit rough for them on the weekends, but it was often smooth as glass during the week M-F. They also exchange canon fires nightly with one of the Lake George steamboat dinner cruises, which made for a fun nightly activity: my boys pulled the canon string every night! When we got there and Dave [owner] was showing us around the property, he told us to make use of the property however we wished - and it was a genuine offering, and it really is a lovely property. Thanks Dave et al for a super time! The kids will remember our week at your family compound for a long time.

My family and I had a great time at the Trout Pavilion house. It was exactly what we were looking for! The dock and grounds were great for everyone and the house was very spacious! All of the owners were very, very nice and accommodating! We hope to come back again!!!

Our family loved David’s beautiful property. The house was very comfortable for four adults (and could have accommodated more). The kitchen is spacious and really well equipped for a vacation home and the screened in side porch was a great spot for eating dinner. The big front yard allowed us to play lawn games and we had plenty of space for our dog. The highlight is the waterfront, just a few minutes walk down hill from the house. We enjoyed morning kayaking, the diving board and water slide, and evenings promise spectacular sunsets. Above all else, it was David and his family’s hospitality that made this a truly special place. We can’t wait to go back!

The whole experience was easy and the owners were so friendly and so helpful. Really great property and process to rent. The family was great. :)

Wonderful place for family fun vacation with beautiful lakeside property and dock space for the boat. All my adult kids loved it as much as My wife and I. We plan to come again.

The house is terribly dated. Everything is circa 1970 and sort of cobbled together. The A/C units upstairs don't cool the spaces they are intended to, and the owners didn't see the need for new ones. The one working shower backs up in just a couple of minutes. You don't have a view of the lake from the house. The house sits about 150 yards up a low-grade grassy slope from the shared dock area, so you have to carry everything back and forth by hand, which gets old quickly. There is no beach. If there ever was a beach it was very narrow. In any case, it is completely inundated by rising lake waters now. So if you want to enjoy the water, you either sit on the dock or on the grass, and more often than not the only shaded seats offered were taken by family members of the owner (3 or 4 houses share the facilities...It was never really clear to me what was happening). The steps to the water are very rough concrete and thus not great for little ones. Overall, it seems like the owners are resting on the laurels of this being a historically significant property and instead of spending even some $$ on modest improvements, they appear to be trying to bilk the property for as long as they can without the necessary upkeep....And it needs some serious attention. As long as you know what you are getting into you, and you are good with that, then so be it...go for it. On the plus side David, the manager, is a very nice guy.

This home was exactly what we looking for to spend some quality family time at Lake George. Dave and his extended family could not have been nicer or more helpful in making our stay more enjoyable. For example, our youngest hurt his knee and could not make it up the hill on his own. Dave gave us a garden cart to transport him up and down the hill. The house is older but everything is in very good working order. We enjoyed cooking out on the new gas grill the large table in the kitchen was perfect for our large family and a few friends. The dock is wonderful and there was plenty of space for our boat. There is plenty to do in the area and it is also a great location to do nothing. We would definitely do this again and I have already recommended it to friends.
