About this property

We call our little waterfront A-frame cottage The "Nest" for obvious reasons. Possibly the prettiest views we have ever seen will be yours every moment you spend here. The rustic A-Frame cottage is right on and above the lake. The interior is knotty pine in the main living area and has tasteful Adirondack decor throughout. The master suite has a queen bed and its own bathroom (and a coffee bar!) and covered porch, perfect for quietly sipping your coffee lakeside each morning. Enjoy panoramic views of the lake and Cobble Mountain from the screen porch on the main level, also perfect for dining, or to gather for family games. The main deck is roomy with a glass table, chairs, a hammock, a propane fire pit, and a grill.

The retro kitchen offers just enough of what is needed, including a full-sized fridge, cooktop stove, coffee pot, electric tea kettle, crockpot and microwave.

The upstairs bedroom sleeps two with a single and a full bed. A new large window was just installed in the upper bedroom which also features three skylights and A/C for those warm summer nights.

The stars of the show are the incredible views, covered screen porch, main deck, private floating swim dock, and your own private sundeck lakeside on a gorgeous Adirondack lake! Our floating dock is a blast for paddling from, swimming, jumping off, or just hanging out in the sun. Lake Luzerne is limited to 7.5 hp motors, so, without any speedboats buzzing around, the clean waters are ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling.

Lake Luzerne is just 10 miles from Lake George Village.

When visiting Big Vista, you will have use of a 15’ two seat canoe, two kayaks, and two paddleboards, plus all life jackets and paddles needed.

Big Vista

We truly enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in other Adirondack lakefront cabins and this one was by far the most quiet. It was a nice change of pace to not hear the sound of speed boats and jet skis and dodge wake all day long. The cabin is a short drive from many attractions. It's nice to be close to Lake George to go to Great Escape or the Outlets without the hassle of staying there. We found several interesting places to eat within 10 minutes drive as well.

Amazing

We were so impressed and happy with this stay. The house was beautiful and immaculate. Our hosts were kind and helpful and communicative. I can’t even describe how magical the property is, access to the lake, solitude, comfortable, close to other things. I’d we ever travel to the Adirondack region again I will definitely look for this house again. It exceeded all our fantasies!

Best Lake Spot

Our stay at Lake Luzerne was fantastic. What a great "little" lake. The views were amazing and the availability of the kayaks and SUPs was really appreciated. The owner was great with communication. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with great Lake views.

Terrific lakeside house in southern Adirondacks

This house checked every box for our family of 4 (parents and two 20-something daughters), and we do a lot of vacation rentals. The location right on the lake is prime -- we all loved the screened front porch with a view over the water, and the ability to just walk downstairs and dive into the water or push off in a kayak. There was plenty of space for us, but the maximum of 5 people does make sense -- larger groups would want more beds and room. We did several great hikes and saw some unexpected art at the Hyde museum in Glens Falls and a show at Caffe Lena in Saratoga. The wifi and cable TV were reliable options at night. Owners were very responsive to our few questions. Renters staying more than a few days should note that there's a dryer but no washer and plan accordingly; with that noted, we recommend this place without qualification.

About the host

Hosted by Robert McCutcheon

Burl and Lori have owned The Lake Nest since September 2021. 28 years ago, they set out with the dream of owning a vacation property on a lake in the Adirondacks and fell in love with the Lake Luzerne property the very moment they crested the driveway and the massive lake-view unfolded in front of them. Since then, they have updated many parts of the rustic camp and added details such as fresh paint, new fixtures and toilets, Twig drawer-pulls, and a coffee nook. They will continue to work at bringing it back to its original beauty, and, of course, enjoying the views and the lake in the process.

Why they chose this property

The Lake Nest is simply one in a million: direct waterfront on the lake, elevated for breathtaking views, adorable and surprisingly roomy A-frame rustic cottage, all within minutes of so many attractions in the southern Adirondack Park.

What makes this property unique

Eagles, Loons, sunrises over Cobble Mountain, quiet and private location, gorgeous decks and porches, private dock and swim platform, and yet so close to conveniences and restaurants!
