Disappointing Cottage on Lake George
The “cottage” was underwhelming at best. The photos posted with the listing are misleading. While it is lakefront, the area is more of a cove. The view is of other homes on the cove. There was a small beach for the community, and on the day we arrived - a Monday - there were probably 25 people in the water. No doubt weekends would be more crowded. I was expecting more of an open view of Lake George. That definitely is not the case. The cottage, which the owner describes as “vintage”, is very dated and not well maintained. Paint is chipping off certain areas inside, lighting is poor throughout, the handle for the sliding glass door to the deck was broken, and the place was dingy and not well cleaned.It is listed as four bedrooms, but three of those rooms are very small. Sadly, we arrived in the middle of a heat wave. The only room in the house that can accommodate an air conditioner is the living room area. The owner has provided a unit there. The rest of the cottage was unbearably hot. We had brought fans with us, but because of the placement of the outlets, we were unable to put them in any of the windows. We had also brought our own air conditioner, but again no outlets, except for the living room, could accommodate it.We ended up sleeping on the living room couches that night and left the next morning. The outdoor areas were not great either. There are chairs provided, but they are years old and covered in grime. Dog poop was in the yard.
