Lake George Rental: Shelving Rock Lakeside

6 bedroom historic summer lakeside house. Set on the shoreline of Lake George with woods and Shelving Rock behind it and an expanse of woods to the south. Shelving Rock was once part of the enormous private estate of the Knapp family and much of it and the surrounding land is now state park with some riding and walking trails. This house and a few others are the only ones up in that part of the lake providing more privacy and quiet. Convenient to Bolton Landing, just a 10 minute boatride away for shopping and dining if you need the "touch" of civilization.   Kitchen, formal dining room, living room and bedroom on first floor, other bedrooms on second floor. Great set up with the eating porch off the kitchen having large table and spectacular views, an open porch with grill off that. After dinner you can relax in the screened porch off the living room with chairs and swings, of course with the great views. This house offers plenty of space where you can be together if you wish or have privacy, great swing chairs for curling up with a book on the "after dinner" porch.

The waterfront is extensive offering an F shaped dock in front of house  which will serve for a shorted boat or the 30' space on larger dock complex just to the north of the house. On the far side of the boathouse is a beach area, to the south a small picnic island convenient to the kitchen, south of the house is a small one room building, a "sleeping camp" set on the shore in a small cove. It is an amazing set up and an ideal place to escape the hectic pace of life yet still have satellite internet to keep that connection we all need these days to maintain our place. As you can probably tell from my blathering this is one of my favorite rentals, the history, the views, the amenities just make it special, I try to visit at least once a year.
