The "Nest" on Lake Luzerne: A-frame cottage with BIG view directly on the lake!

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.

Weekend Getaway
Beautiful house with amazing views of the lake. Drinking my morning coffee on the porch while viewing the lake, was a great way to start the day! Great location, close to many activities and things to do. The house itself had everything we needed to be comfortable. Robert was very responsive. Highly recommended!

BIG VISTA equals PERFECTION!!
My now fiancé and I have stayed at a lot of Vrbo or Airb&b properties and it’s always a gamble on the property to match the photos and information provided for said property. Not with Big Vista, it was spot on with the privacy and having basically your own private spot on lake luzerne. The owners are very easy to work with and answer promptly if needed for anything. The property was beautiful and lived up to its Name Big Vista. We will be coming back next year. We believe we may have found our future vacation spot for summer getaways.

Great Lake View
Beautiful home, vista, and location. The listing was spot-on - the lake is gorgeous as is the view of it and the surrounding area. The hosts provide lots of water equipment (boats, floats, etc.). The region provides a lot to do as well. Highly recommended!

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.

Excellent house and excellent hosts!
We loved our stay at Big Vista. The water activities were amazing and Lori and Robert were very responsive whenever we had any questions. The house has a lot of charm and it's very well equipped to provide a lot of fun activities in the water.
