We stayed at Longview over the holiday weekend and had wonderful time. We were two families (4 adults and 5 kids) and there was definitely more than enough space. The cabin is charming and well maintained - the owners have put a lot of effort into making everything labeled and easy to use. There were previous reviews about there not being enough pots and cooking utensils, but that has been resolved with a fully equipped kitchen for any chef! The views are amazing and being able to drink coffee while watching the lake is a great way to start the day. The location is a little out of the way and 10-15 min drive from any shops, but that adds to rustic cabin feel. Will definitely be looking at booking this again over the summer.

Property was better than expected. Close to activities and shops. NO COMPLAINTS!!! We had an AWESOME time and your place made it better. THANK YOU!

My family and I had an incredible time at Longview! The views of the lake from the home are breathtaking and the home itself is beautiful! Very clean and well maintained. Host was super accommodating and very detailed with check in/check out. Would absolutely stay again!! We came up for a ski trip and the property was conveniently located to Gore Mountian and West Mountain

Everything was great. The cabin was so cute & clean. Absolutely would stay there again.

We had a lovely time visiting. The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed to enjoy a family Thanksgiving.

First, let me start by saying I am a long time VRBO customer. I have stayed in VRBO's and their partners all over the world. That said, I have seen a wide range of properties, that offer various levels of amenities. Unfortunately, Pilot Knob was by far the most disappointing propety I have ever stayed at. Kitchen: Ill equipped, pots/pans are old, beat up teflon in need of replacement. As noted in other reviews, pots/pans available are sparse. Difficult to cook a meal for 6 or more people. You will need to bring EVERYTHING with you. Dishes and glasses needed to be cleaned before use...wine glasses were covered in a dusty, greasy film. Bathrooms: Clean/ready for use. One small bar of soap was provided. Plenty of towels. Washer/Dryer works well ,laundry soap available. Bedrooms: All guests thought beds were uncomfortable, as mentioned in other reviews. Bedrooms could have more lighting, very dark. Safety: The property is on a steep hill leading to the lake. There are lots of stairs. Railing from stairs leading from kitchen are loose and unsafe. Pitch of stairs leading to lake are steep and lean forward. Property is full of exposed roots, making it dangerous to walk in the dark. Privacy: Property Manager was on the property twice during our stay w/o knocking and introducing herself or notifying ahead of time. She said she was thinking of kayaking and had her dog with her. Second time was with a contractor. *I do not recommend staying here. Over priced.

Wonderful place to stay! So cozy and amazing views. Hope we can make it back sometime.

Thanks for a great vacation. Lovely cabin for our family vacation.

The house is beautiful. Could add a few amenities, such as toothbrush holders, hand soaps in all bathrooms, and like others have stated, salt and pepper and some basic spices. There are no serving platters and no baking dishes at all. I highly suggest adding. And some basic tools, like a screwdriver, etc. Definitely need to add an wifi extender, the service is terrible and get dropped from the wifi all day long. Overall the house is great, pictures don't do it justice. It is big and roomy.

We had a wonderful time. The house was very nice and the lake is gorgeous. The grandkids had a great time swimming in the lake and with the trampoline. Host was very quick to respond to any question. That was really appreciated. We left a baby blanket behind and when I contacted Derek he responded right away he would send it to us. Wonderful house and host. Would definitely recommend this property. We will definitely be coming back.

I will say tho, the place has lots of potential & the host was very responsive, apologetic & proactive on tending to certain issues! I believe they mentioned they are new owners of the place One of the disappointing things and an important heads up to anyone else who stays there in the future, is that they provide limited to no basic kitchen amenities … spices, cooking oil, tinfoil, dish rags, salt/pepper, one small cooking tray w no edges, tupperware, ect Another issue we had was the landscaping & brush was completely overgrown & blocking the view from the deck … they sent someone over to clean it up somewhat & provide the proper view as shown on the listing, however the yard could still use significant improvements! also, their dock is very outdated & it was unstable on the top portion … they sent a handyman over to secure some areas, but I was a little concerned that nobody checked that out prior to having guests there. The railing could’ve easily broken off if someone put their weight on it & leaned up against it! They did mention that they are on a waiting list for a brand new dock in the coming year or so In terms of cleanliness…the carpet upstairs had a large stain & was sticky … the kitchen table was also sticky … all of the AC filters needed to be cleaned out & the vents were moldy :( Again, the host seemed to appreciate the feedback/communication & I hope more improvements are made for future guests :)

When you spend close to $2,000 a day for a vacation rental, there is a reasonable expectation that everything will be as close to perfect as possible. Unfortunately, there were several disappointments that detracted from the very strong, positive aspects of the property. Unquestionably the interior of the house is well appointed, very attractive, clean and spacious.. There is a lack of attention to detail - lighting that was not functional, seating at a breakfast bar badly torn with exposed padding, dirty/stained picture windows that overlooked the water, broken dining area floor tiles with sharp edges that could cause injury, rippled carpeting in one of the bedrooms that is a trip hazard, a filthy bbq grill that required considerable cleaning prior to use, subpar pots/pans, dirty oven drawer, a steep, unsafe step down from the dining area to an outside stairway, a rocking chair with a broken seat, worn living room furniture, and a few other minor issues. Outdoors on the deck at the dock, there was a large umbrella that was broken and unusable. Our Grandchildren wanted to fish off the dock, but even though there were several fishing poles, only one was functional. It would have been great to have other recreational items available for the water - perhaps inner tubes, paddle board, or kayak. While nice outside - there is little or no landscaping that would make the property more appealing. Remember - at nearly $2,000 a day - these issues should not exist.

Beautiful place on the lake. So much room for us all to have our own space. We loved the extra large common area for us to just be able to hang out, visit, play games and relax.

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time. Great cabin. Great location. Got to experience a winter storm on the lake. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Great experience. Will use them again

Wonderful 3 days out of the city in a lovely wooden camp!

The whole family was there parents with their 3 kids and families. Ranging in age from 2 to 74. Great location, beautiful views

This property is prime location. Not too close to the action, just far enough to feel you are on your own private island, but close enough to take a 15 minute drive to the activities the lake has to offer. The home is beautiful, very clean, the kitchen is perfect! There was enough room for everyone to have a fun game night, hang outside, or retreat to our rooms for some down time and privacy.

We were 3 couples sharing this beautiful retreat. The log cabin was spacious, clean, with a huge rock fireplace. The views of the lake were spectacular. We went in late September and the leaves were starting to change. Easy drive to LG Village and even Boltons Landing. We were happily surprised at the nice selection of excellent restaurants near the cabin. The boat dock was beautiful and though it was a little chili to rent our own boat, we had a lovely afternoon on one of the charters. Derek answered immediately whenever we had a question. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and the basket of s'mores were a nice touch. Lake George is a beautiful Crystal clear lake. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. Perfect place to gather with friends and family.

The family came from many different locations to visit the Adirondacks. We've been to many mountain locales in the west; Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc., but have not been to the east. We now have a better understanding of the fall colors because the variety of trees is stunning This cabin is exactly what you imagine as a mountain and lake get away. It's tranquil and the location is close to a variety of day trips. Check in and out are easy and the hosts are very attentive. So, if you're looking for a family reunion location, this one is absolute perfection!!! .

Perfect spot for boating, fishing, swimming. Immaculately clean and well maintained. A/C in every room (couple days it was 90s and humid and we kept cool!) Modern appliances. Close-enough to village

Everything was wonderful and the power went out one night and there is a generator so AC and fridge kept running. Just a bonus.

Very nice house on the lake highly recommend for big family reunion

Loved it! Plenty of room, clean, great view of the lake. The manager responds to questions and concerns promptly. We will probably make this a yearly gathering.

We stayed here for a wedding weekend in Lake George and it was absolutely stunning! The house was cleanly and quaint. We enjoyed the morning views on the lake and especially the upper level on the dock. I would recommend staying here to anyone!

This rental was the perfect place for my group to stay when we were in town for a wedding. Lots of space for everyone and the location is great. Wish we could have stayed longer to really enjoy the dock patio!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilot Knob. The location is great, water is calm, quiet. House has everything you need, clean, comfortable beds, spacious for the whole family. Dock with a balcony on the top was perfect spot for sunsets. We would love to come back and enjoy this beautiful lake house. Lake George village it’s only 10min away by boat or car. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We stayed here with a large group, and everyone had an excellent time. The house was very clean, including the bedding and towels. The fire pit is amazing. We’d never seen a smokeless fire pit in action, so it was rather mesmerizing. The sun porch on top of the dock was a great place to relax and have a few beers. I highly recommend an early morning dip in the lake (water temp was 44F!). A little cold water shock to the system will do wonders for mental clarity. All in all, Longview was a superb place to spend a weekend. We will for sure be back during the winter. Would love to be up this way for pond hockey season.

Went up for a wintery weekend getaway from NYC and had a great time! The house was SUPER clean and inviting, views of the lake were great, definitely had the cozy cabin feel we were looking for with a lot of space. We fit 8 very comfortably and could have fit a lot more. The beds and pillows left something to be desired- we all stayed in different rooms and agreed the beds could definitely use mattress pads and softer pillows- and for the cold winter months it could definitely use a few space heaters in the living room, even with a big fire going in the fireplace. The fireplace is grand and cozy- our favorite part! Just know you have to bring your own firewood, so definitely stop for some in town before you come. Would have been nice to have a few logs at the house the first night. What is also nice to know is the kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking/baking utensils which I appreciated! Overall we would stay again and would love to check it out in the summer months as well!

Very clean and comfortable!

Lovely place, right on the lake. Very accurate description. Easy check in process. Gorgeous views

We really enjoyed our time at this house. Everything was clearly organized and very clean when we got there. It was a perfect way to enjoy a fall weekend in the Adirondacks!
