A weekend in peaceful paradise

My husband and I along with my best friend and her boyfriend spent a long Memorial Day weekend at Charlene! It was an incredible getaway that left us all feeling to grateful to be able to be on Lake George but not among the tourist side. The family that owns the place were all so welcoming and kind, we felt like we were part of the family! Such a great experience, we can’t wait to come back again!

Great Private Lake cottage

Beautiful property location about 3.5 acres almost all of it on the lake shore and a very private spot. Lots of nooks a crannies to discover as you walk around the property and there is also great history there. The property was purchased around 1856 and has remained in the same family since then. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful place to stay

The Halcyon property was wonderful and in addition to being very dog friendly, a perfect place to get away from it all with the family. Our 2 lab mixes had a blast running around and exploring the property. We stayed in the Charlene house which was extremely clean and quaint in addition to being the perfect size for the 4 of us. It has beautiful views and is steps away from the lake! The owners of the property were very friendly, helpful, and wanted to ensure they were there for us if we needed anything.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Lamont

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.
