Wonderful stay at Longview! House was the definition of an Adirondack getaway; great views, well equipped, clean, and spacious. Owners were accommodating and very easy to get in touch with. Dock was sturdy and spacious and is located in a quiet bay which made docking and swimming very enjoyable. Would certainly recommend!Almost forgot, thanks for the S’mores! I think we ate them all

House was very nice. Living room furniture left something to be desired as couches were ripped and had little support. Beds very comfortable. Access to dock was difficult due to the steep slope of the yard and tree roots, especially if elderly or very young children in your party. Couldn’t ask for a better view of the lake. Spectacular sunsets!

The Cabin on the Lake
My family had a wonderful time at the lake. The cabin was lovely and the views were amazing. We rented a boat for the week and were able to dock it right at the house, which was fantastic. The fishing on the lake was great! One of our best family vacations by far.

Property was as described in listing. It is very centrally located. We used the dock to watch the beautiful sunsets.If you have anyone with disabilities or guest that have a walking issue getting to the dock might be a challeng. Otherwise, it’s a lovely house that sits right on the water with an awesome view.

Lake George - Pilot Knob Winter Trip
Really nothing bad to say about this place or the host. My friends and I had a wonderful time in this beautiful house, and just about everything was as expected. The only two things I would comment on is that the gps coordinates through vrbo don't bring you to the exact address (brings you a few blocks down the road), and the picutures should be updated to reflect the bubblers that are installed around the dock - we originally though we would have been able to park sleds/quads by the dock as it's shown in one of the oics. Other than that, great place and I hope.to book it again soon!

Wonderful place with serious problems
We all loved it, but we were all concerned about the mold in the bathrooms and the broken appliances in the kitchen. It seems to me that these could have been addressed in the 29 hours we paid for but couldn't use the house. While mold is a very serious issue, there was no attempt even to clean it off surfaces. We smelled it immediately and shut off AC and opened windows.

Time at Longview
The house was as pictured! It was very clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better view!!! I found a few issues. We couldn’t find a lighter or a flicker to start a fire. No pens or pencils in the whole house. A large number of spices, yet no salt and pepper. Just little things like that. Beds were very comfortable. We had 20in of snow and we were plowed out which was awesome!! We would definitely stay there again!!

Amazing cabin for a relaxing getaway
We stayed at Longview over the holiday weekend and had wonderful time. We were two families (4 adults and 5 kids) and there was definitely more than enough space. The cabin is charming and well maintained - the owners have put a lot of effort into making everything labeled and easy to use. There were previous reviews about there not being enough pots and cooking utensils, but that has been resolved with a fully equipped kitchen for any chef! The views are amazing and being able to drink coffee while watching the lake is a great way to start the day. The location is a little out of the way and 10-15 min drive from any shops, but that adds to rustic cabin feel. Will definitely be looking at booking this again over the summer.

Do Not Recommend!
First, let me start by saying I am a long time VRBO customer. I have stayed in VRBO's and their partners all over the world. That said, I have seen a wide range of properties, that offer various levels of amenities.
Unfortunately, Pilot Knob was by far the most disappointing propety I have ever stayed at.
Kitchen: Ill equipped, pots/pans are old, beat up teflon in need of replacement. As noted in other reviews, pots/pans available are sparse. Difficult to cook a meal for 6 or more people. You will need to bring EVERYTHING with you. Dishes and glasses needed to be cleaned before use...wine glasses were covered in a dusty, greasy film.
Bathrooms: Clean/ready for use. One small bar of soap was provided. Plenty of towels. Washer/Dryer works well ,laundry soap available.
Bedrooms: All guests thought beds were uncomfortable, as mentioned in other reviews. Bedrooms could have more lighting, very dark.
Safety: The property is on a steep hill leading to the lake. There are lots of stairs. Railing from stairs leading from kitchen are loose and unsafe. Pitch of stairs leading to lake are steep and lean forward. Property is full of exposed roots, making it dangerous to walk in the dark.
Privacy: Property Manager was on the property twice during our stay w/o knocking and introducing herself or notifying ahead of time. She said she was thinking of kayaking and had her dog with her. Second time was with a contractor.
*I do not recommend staying here. Over priced.
