Fantastic lake house with all the amenities!

Our family of four and pup enjoyed every minute of our 4 night stay. The access to the lake to the warmth of home exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning. Visit to Lake George is an hour and Saratoga is 25 minutes. Quiet lake, neighborhood vibe and great communication with the owner made this stay so very memorable.

Very nice house on a beautiful lake

The house was very nicely done up, well-equipped, and very clean. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Galway, which is a quiet lake. The house is right on the lake and was great for kayaking, swimming, etc. Had a great time!

Anniversary trip

Every year around our anniversary we travel to different areas of the country. This place couldn’t have been more perfect. Beautiful lake, beautiful house and property. The house has everything you need down to firewood for a fire by the lake. Dealing with the owner couldn’t have been easier. We would definitely come back to this lovely home!

Spectacular Views on Quiet Lake

Loved the well appointed house and premier location on Galway Lake with unobstructed views. All necessities were in place and the owner provided detailed instructions and advice in regard to shopping, restaurants and attractions. If you are looking for leisure time with all the comforts of home away from home then this is your place. Beds were comfortable and there were multiple places for hanging out with family or to hide out and enjoy a book. Kayaks, paddle board, canoe, and fire pit all added to an enjoyable time with family. Kitchen was well stocked and barbecue was easily accessible. You need only pack your bags and relax upon arrival.

Top 5 Family Vacation

We had a wonderful week! The house is gorgeous - and the lake views are breathtaking. We spent the days paddle boarding, kayaking, and relaxing by the lake. Great location for popping into Saratoga for races, restaurants and poking around the shops. Super easy process with the owner, Dennis. Hope to be back next summer.

Beautiful lake home with amazing view

We had a great time staying in Dennis's amazing lake house. The view is unbeatable and everything is just like the photos. It was spotlessly clean and had every amenity you could want on vacation. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Galway Lake

We had a wonderful stay at Dennis’ property on Galway Lake. The house is gorgeous and exactly as pictured. It does sit right on a main road (although with a long driveway) and close to neighbors especially on one side, but the lakefront and view from the house are amazing. The lake is crystal clear and was perfect for fishing and boating in the provided canoe and kayak. We would not hesitate to rent again!

Great experience

This is an exquisite property in terms of location and amenities. We enjoyed our stay and the camp experience. Despite less than ideal weather during our stay we never got bored with activities in and around the camp. We did hiking, canoeing and fishing as well grilling. Couldn’t ask for more. A big shout out to Dennis the host who supplied us with ample information to make our check in experience smooth. It’s also fairly convenient to nearby shopping centers and groceries

Couldn't Ask For More

Great place to enjoy nature without having to sacrifice any comfort. The house was spotless and felt almost new, while the lake was pristine. The pictures simply don't do the listing justice. Plenty of outdoor activities and towns to explore nearby, but really no reason to leave the house. Never had to contact to the owner because everything was perfectly setup and ready to go. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Loved our weekend away

We had a great family vacation. The lake is very peaceful since it's motor free. We enjoyed taking the kayaks and paddleboard out and we woke up to an unobstructed view of the lake every morning. The house was very comfortable and clean and Dennis the owner was super responsive and helpful. (If you do want to the leave the lake for an outing, we went on a treetop adventure ropes course in Lake Luzerne that was tons of fun as well.)

An incredible place to unwind

This was just an amazing place to unwind for a few days. The house on the lake was simply spectacular. The house was clean, well kept, and had everything we needed. The views were awesome, and the host was incredibly responsive to all our needs. We wanted to go fishing, but didn't have fishing poles, and the next thing we knew, the owner was able to lend us a couple of fishing poles. He also found someone to take us fishing in the lake where my wife and I caught an incredible number of fish, and my wife had never gone fishing before. The place is only thirty minutes away from Saratoga Springs, so we spent the day canoeing, fishing, and relaxing by the lake, and went in to Saratoga Springs for dinner and the night life. You can't beat this place to rent. Dennis, the owner, and Tim and Barbara, who manages the house, made us feel like family. 6 stars if I could give it that many. Michael

Beautiful Custom ADK home

Everything is as pictured! The owner spared no expense when building this gem. Lovely place with all the comforts of home. Dennis, the owner, was pleasant and always available to answer questions. Booking was easy. Check-in and check-out was easy. Local property manager left his cell phone number for us as well. We felt safe and comfortable during our 4 night stay. Galway Lake is quiet and serene although very weedy! Not the best swimming around the dock. There is a canoe, paddle board, and kayak plus a basketball hoop which my boys enjoyed. Basketball and football provided which was nice. If we return to the area next summer I would gladly rent this home again! It’s a bit pricey but well worth it- much better than staying 4 nights in a hotel room!

Perfect Summer Vacation Spot

House is immaculate. Really cool furniture . Nice big lot tons of privacy even though neighbors on one side. Sitting on the raised deck and screened porch you think you have the lake to yourself. All bedrooms nice. Great kitchen if you like to cook. Fenced in area and the house oriented on the lake made looking after the children easy. Owner is available if needed at any time which came in handy a number of times. We will be back for sure. Leaving the place was difficult to say the least!

Tasteful and peaceful

The home is in new condition with tasteful and interesting decor. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a nice breeze while doing nothing. My kids were able to fish right off the dock and most of my meals were made on the gas grill. We kayaked and canoed. We went to the nearby high school for its playground and open field for kite flying. It’s very close to Saratoga Springs and anything else a family might need. We ended each night watching a movie by the fire pit. The owner clearly loves this place; it’s not just some investment property. We will look to come back again in the future.

This home is just as pictured. The view to the lake is outstanding. The lake itself was perfect for kayaking- it was especially still in the early morning. Neighbors are close but quiet. Note, the walk down to the lake is a bit steep.
