About this property

4 Br Lake George Waterfront Home W/ Dock, Rocking Porch, & Spectacular View

"Fernwood" is a well kept classic 4 br 2 bath Adirondack log and stone home on the lake with everything you need for a relaxing stay with family and friends. 1 mile north of the Silver Bay Association, originally built in the 40's and added onto in the 70's, the current owners have been diligent in updating and improving the home and property since purchasing it in 1987.
Main floor has a galley kit, encl dining porch with views of the lake, living/dining rm w/ classic stone fp and cathedral ceiling. Like all great lake homes, there is the classic wooden screen door to the large covered porch with 6 Adirondack rockers and a pedestal table for enjoying lunch or cocktails in the warm breeze.
Lower lvl living rm has a pullout couch, big views, and access to sunny slate patio with Adirondack chairs and a hammock overlooking the lake.
Bedrooms: 1st floor has a full bath, 2 twins, 1 queen bed in south facing brdm. Second floor has bath with shower, queen bed rm, and the master w custom framed queen bed and cathedral ceiling and windows overlooking the lake. All bedrooms have window A/C units.
Outside is a sloping lawn down to the water, with a level area for sunning, a dock for <24' boat, offshore swim float, 2 kayaks, canoe. There is also a detached garage, nice gardens, hammock, gas grill, outdoor fireplace, & of course that incredible view. There is no beach, but a soft sandy bottom, and the only access and egress to the water is from the dock. The dock has 2 ladders. The water is knee deep at the waters edge with a steep rocky embankment, not suitable for dogs.
Speaking of dogs, one dog is allowed for an extra fee, and we will need to know breed, age, size of dog before approval.
The house/property has a neat comfortable vibe. Plenty of indoor and outdoor games, and separate areas to chat, read, nap.
There is a 4 night minimum stay, and most June, July, and Aug weeks are 6 nights. Check-in on Sunday, out on Saturday. We will do all we can to accommodate your schedule.
We use an outside cleaning crew to clean the house after each group stay. They are instructed to follow CDC and WHO guidelines on safety, cleaning, and disinfecting.

Fabulous Fall Trip
It was a beautiful time to be at the Lake. Very little boat traffic. Still warm enough to swim. Really enjoyed the nights on the porch listening to the loons.

Family vacation
Great location and lot. House was very clean with a fully equipped kitchen. Lots of fun extras like board games, corn hole, floats, and fire pit. The friendship trail through the neighborhood was a nice stroll with my ten year old dog. I would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing June Visit
Had a wonderful and relaxing stay with family, friends and our dog. Owners were super responsive and location is beautiful. Rented a boat for the week and having it right at the dock was great. Super bass fishing right across the lake and did some waterskiing and toured the lake. Would reccomend and would definitely come back.

We have visited the area for a family reunion for maybe 26 years and this rental is our favorite. It’s rustic Adirondack and comfortable and has everything we could need, including great views and swimming. The host could not be more helpful and available.

Beautiful Adirondack Camp!
Fernwood was the perfect place for our family to get away from it all this summer. The property is fairly secluded and right on the water's edge. The dock is perfect for swimming or mooring a 16-20 ft power boat, and the owner's have graciously provided kayaks and a canoe for your paddling pleasure! The kids absolutely loved being able to swim out to the floating raft about 50-75 feet off the end of the dock and it served as a nice retreat for adults on an early morning swim as well. The fire pit and provided firewood were a fantastic touch and we enjoyed a nice fire by the water each evening. The proximity to the Friendship trail makes for easy walks into Silver Bay to the South, or Arcady to the North. The Silver Bay General store is just a minute up the road for last minute supplies and getting to Bolton Landing is relatively easy if you want to do a bit of light shopping. While the house is well equipped with just about anything you can imagine, don't expect the Ritz when staying at Fernwood. It is a true Adirondack Camp and, if understand that going in, you will have the time of your life. That said, if you are expecting 1,000 thread count sheets, steam showers, and Wustoff knives, you might be a tad disappointed (but that's not what the Northern End of Lake George is all about). We will definitely be back!

Great Place in The Upper Basin
I love this spot. Been here for the past two years with rentals after Labor day. Owners are attentive and eager to make your stay a wonderful one. Plenty of seating space. Nice Outdoor Fire pit. Beautiful quiet cove for swimming, boating and fishing. Far enough from main drive so dog can run free with minimal supervision. Two refridgerator/freezers for extra convienence. Lookiing forward to going this year.

Great Late Summer Escape
Fernwood is an excellent choice for visiting the Upper basin of Lake George. The house was comfortable, well appointed with plenty of room for as many as 12 people. We were only five at most and did not even use the fourth bedroom (4 bunkbeds). It was great to be allowed to bring our new puppy along and expose him to swimming and boating on the lake. There is plenty of privacy with woods lining the property. The dock was great for swimming and kayaking with the area having very little boat traffic. We always rented on the east side of the lake and found everything so much more convenient at this location.
