Fun at the Pharoah View!

We just wrapped up a week at the Pharaoh View Lodge and loved every minute of it! The home was very large (we had 10 adults & 13 kids), it was very clean, and was very cozy. The views from inside the large kitchen and family room area were amazing, and the deck right off the kitchen (with a professional-grade grill) was the perfect spot to relax on some rocking chairs and take in the mountain and lake views. There was a place for campfires on the sandy beach area at the lake's edge (the Lodge even provides firewood!) and a great diving platform about 50-yards off shore, which was easy to reach because of the kayaks, canoe, paddle boat and row boat (with life jackets) that the Lodge provides. Note- the lakefront with beach isn't good for swimming so you have to get out to the dock to swim, but we didn't find that to be a hassle at all, and the lake is at least 8-feet deep pretty close to shore. We also rented a boat from EZ Marine and it was great and not too expensive. We anchored it near the diving dock and the kids had a blast being pulled around on a tube (which EZ Marine rents for about $25 a day).

The kitchen is well equipped, as is the huge stone fireplace room -which has loads of games, a large LCD TV with hi definition, and tons of very large, comfortable leather couches for relaxing. The bathrooms are remodeled and the bedrooms are nicely decorated. Lake George & other attractions are nearby, so be sure to check out the beautiful public beach in the small town of Hague!

Over all, a great house with great views made for a relaxing mountain vacation.
