About this house rental

Relaxation Central is a lovely lake side home which sits right on the water with a new boat dock and great views in Dunhams Bay in Lake George. It is a 4 bedroom home with wonderful porches on the bedroom floor and the main floor which look right out on the lake. In the summer grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and sit outside your bedroom on the upstairs porch and enjoy watching the ducks on the lake, or do alittle fishing right on the docks. For early birds take your coffee to the 30 foot porch on the main level or right down to the dock for an up front and personal view of the lake. Evening cocktails and dinner are amaxing on the main porch! There is plenty of room for sitting on the various wicker furniture and or dining at the spacious outddoor dining table. Its a beautiful view of the lake and enjoyable to watch the kayakers or boaters going by as well right from the enclosed screen porch. After dinner watch the sunset from the porch or dock or light up the firepit and cook up some smores! Although there is a smart TV in the livingroom if the weather is good I'm betting you wont use it! Relaxation Central is less than 15 minutes from exit 21 off the Northway, but a 100 miles away from the crazy lives we all lead. Bring your boat if your have one or rent one if you'd like from the marina right down the road. Swimming is right off the dock and the sunsets are awesome! We have two kayaks and a sunfish which you are welcome to use. We also have a 8 foot round floating sunning tube which is anchored off the dock. There are also a couple of floating tubes and noodles under the house. If you are visiting us in the fall or winter there are many hiking trails in the area and skiers are within 1/2 hour from Gore Mountain and West Mountain and less than 2 hours from Whiteface Mountain. Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburgh is one of the most original mountains in upstate New York. There are several winter festivals on the lake and if you are a snowmobiiler there are over 100 + miles of trails connected to Lake George, many of which are grommed during the season. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing areas are plentiful in the area. Take in the local sites or do nothing at all and enjoy a relaxing vacation at the lake! There are 4 bedrooms, one with a king bed and 2 with queen beds and a 4th with a king and a set of bunks. Part of the house was built in 1895 and was one of the original fishing camps on the lake. We have reclaimed this side as well and this is the location of the 4th bedroom which includes a king and a set of bunks upstairs. It is the only room with has a vented portable air conditioner. Downstairs is a childrens playroom which also includes a pull out double sleeper sofa. This side of the house also has a new bathroom and another medium size dining room which is located in the site of the original camp kitchen. The original camp cooking stove is at the far end of the porch and is often used as a bar in the warmer months. The older camp side of the house does not have heat yet so check with us if you are looking to stay at the house in the cooler months. We do hope to have it heated in the future.. The main house has a full kitchen and living room, a bathroom with a tub shower, and a second bathroom with a toilet and sink. The porch on the main floor has a dining table which seats 8 as well as additional couches and chairs for sitting and eating. There is also a dining room inside which easily sits 6 to 8 and an overflow small room in the back of the kitchen for dining or playing games. The camp side has the 4th bedroom, new bathroom, child's playrom with pull out and the inside dining room in the camp kitchen. Both sides are connected through the main kitchen. There is no door there in the warmer months. Lakeside living is casual and you'll enjoy your dining on the porches during the early summer to mid fall. There is a barbecue grill for cooking and also a seating area for evening respites. The docks are deep water docks and will easily house a 24 foot boat. Dunhams Bay is a no wake zone so your boat is very protected here. The water is pretty quiet for fishing and swimming too. Bring your poles - we have actually caught a pike right off the dock! If you are visiting us in the fall or winter there are many hiking trails in the area and skiers are within 1/2 hour from Gore Mountain and West Mountain and less than 2 hours from Whiteface Mountain. Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburgh is one of the most original mountains in upstate New York. There are several winter festivals on the lake and if you are a snowmobiiler there are over 100 + miles of trails connected to Lake George, many of which are grommed during the season. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing areas are plentiful in the area. February is Winter Carnival month and it is really something to watch the car and motorcycle races which take placed on a plowed track on the 18 inch frozen lake! Check it out on line! We love Relaxation Central and we hope you will too! " If you're lucky enough to be on the lake you're lucky enough!" Kim

We absolutely loved our stay in Relaxation Cottage this past Columbus Day weekend despite the not so great weather we had for half of it. The lake house is so cozy and quaint and in the perfect location close to lake George village. We couldn’t get enough of the porches! Mornings out on the porch with a cup of coffee over looking the lake couldn’t get any better. And we enjoyed dinner out there as well. The decor was very inviting too with little twinkle lights that lit up fall decorations both my daughter and I loved. It’s nice to see a vacation rental (we’ve rented a fair share of houses over the years) that is maintained and decor changed with the seasons. The second and third night got pretty chilly so we took advantage of the fireplace and the board games they had there. Kim made everything very easy and responded to any questions I had right away. The house was very clean upon arrival and we had no issues with anything. Thank you Kim for allowing us to stay in your home. I’d recommend this house to anyone for all seasons!

Our stay was awesome at Relaxation Central! Being on the water on Lake George was so fun for the whole family! The swimming and kayaking was a blast. The house was very clean and the host was very responsive to any questions or concerns. We will be back in the future for sure! Top Notch Lake George Waterfront Rental!

We had an unbelievable vacation at Relaxation Central. The house was immaculate and we were so excited for all the water activities at the dock… kayaking, swimming, fishing…as well as the fire pit at night. We spent most of our time watching the boats go by from the huge screened in porch and there are some great hiking trails very close to the house that we tried to visit daily. The house is close to town for picking up essentials, yet remote and peaceful on the protected cove it sits on. Kim really goes out of her way to make sure any questions are answered, and she takes pride in making sure you have the ideal vacation. I am so glad we had this experience at a perfect waterfront retreat.

This was the perfect location for our family, it was my husband and our 3 year old son and 7 month old son and my mother. The listing was exactly as described. We each had our own rooms, Kim had anything we could need including a pack and play with mattress that my son slept in (life saver). My toddler had a blast in the kid room, lots of toys to keep him busy. We spent our mornings having breakfast on the porch and our afternoons laying on lounge chairs out on the deck. It was a bit chilly to go swimming but if we had, there was a plethora or swim tubes and kayaks we could have used. There are a few stairs to get down to the house but we had no issues getting up and down. The fire pit was a nice touch for roasting marshmallows. Location was central to everything as well, just few minutes drive to the village or lovely Bolton landing, and even the Great adventure indoor water park. I would definitely stay here again.

We were a group of 6 adults and 2 children (ages 3-5). Wedding was just up the road. Great location, plenty of off road parking and spectacular views of the lake. The older section had toys the kids LOVED!! We had a social gathering after the wedding! Plenty of room and the kitchen was very well supplied. Kim (the owner) was responsive and helpful. Loved the waterfront and dock!! Thank you Kim!!
