A little slice of heaven!

I can't say enough about Island View in Hague. We've been staying here for the past four years and I truly consider it a home away from home. It's in a quiet little town on the banks of one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. As soon as I pull into the driveway and see Lake George in front of me, my tensions melt away and I feel so peaceful. It's owned and cared for by two wonderful people that have become friends - Bruce and Sandy. We couldn't ask for a nicer, more welcoming place to spend our vacation each summer.

A Lovely Lake Retreat

My husband and I, along with our son, his wife and our three grandsons have been coming to Island View for several years now. Island View is a comfortable, well situated home in a pretty and sheltered location that is also conveniently within walking distance to the delightful restaurants and shops in the town of Hague. The owners are gracious and very accommodating. I would recommend Island View to anyone who wants to enjoy a spacious house, with a dock steps away from the back door and with amazing views of this pristine lake.

A little slice of heaven

Vacationing at the Island View is the best of all worlds: you get to live, relax and play comfortably with nature at your doorstep. We love that you can be in the lake one minute and in the kitchen , the next. In the morning the sun rises over the mountains and floods the lake with light; you can continue to sleep in the quiet and comfort of the upstairs bedrooms ( AC , thank you), or have an early swim . Afterward, you can enjoy a cup of coffee on the beautiful patio area complete with a dock, fire pit, and an array of spectacular plants hosting the occasional hummingbird or butterfly. The views are spectacular and you can sit all day and watch the water , be in the water , or on the water with the mountains of Lake George as your backdrop. The backdrop is all still visible from the inside of the Island View, as well, thanks to sliding glass doors and windows. The space within is ample, comfortable and inviting. It works for a couple of people or for a small crowd. We love sitting around the kitchen with its bar-style island and enjoying our friends and family; speaking of which our hosts , Sandy and Bruce, couldn't be more attentive to our needs and comfort. Many ,many thanks. From the Island View you can walk into Hague and enjoy the shops and eateries there ( just a few), or travel to other destinations not too far away. If you're lucky enough to have a boat, the Island View rental comes with its own shared dock and then , truly, you really do have the best of all worlds! For us, the Island View is a little slice of heaven that we get to share!

A Gem of a House!

This is my second year at Island View!! Bruce and Sandy (owners) have made a comfortable retreat from the rat race of everyday life. There is nothing derogatory I can say, they have it all covered. I am looking forward to another relaxing week on the Lake with my family again next year.

I give Island View 5 stars!

Highly recommend staying at the Island View! We have stayed with Bruce & Sandy for many years with our family and we loved every minute. You couldn't ask for two nicer people to rent from they are the best!!! They spoiled us so much we had to buy our own house on Lake George so we can see them more often. I give the Island View 5 stars!

We love Island View!

Our group of friends and family have been coming to Island View for 6 years now, because it has everything we need. Bruce and Sandy are so friendly, and we have become good friends with them. We love sitting on the patio just a few feet from the water and walking out on the dock and hopping in our boat. The views are specatacular, and we can walk to the general store anytime we need anything. We come to relax and fish. We cook most of our meals at “home” at Island View, as the kitchen has everything we need. A really big fridge for all the food we bring with us. You can’t ask for a more relaxing and beautiful spot. We will be back for many years to come, so don’t even think about getting our week!!

Island View

Our second time back in September. A perfect time to be at Lake George. Hague is a very quiet town on the northern part of the lake, and Island View is a perfect place to relax. Don’t expect night life, restaurants, etc. In fact the only restaurant in town closes in September. But we bring lots of food and the kitchen is fully equipped. The drive to Ticonderoga is beautiful, with a golf course along the way. Mostly we just come to relax and get away from the hecticness of everyday life. It’s hard to leave!

Awesome location on the best part of Lake George

First time staying at Island View. First and foremost, owner Sandra was very attentive, responsive and helpful to all queries before the visit and needs during the stay. The location is outstanding. The house practically hangs over the water and the views from practically every room are awesome. Easy walk to everything needed for a relaxing week - small general store, nice pub and restaurant (Firehouse), free town beach and two other parks (Peggy’s Point and Hague Falls). Boat rentals within a couple hundred yards. Town of Ticonderoga is 15 Minutes of easy driving for all major supplies (WalMart Supercenter). Bolton Landing with nice shops and restaurants is 25 minutes south on Rt 9N.

The house is filled with area information and history as well as tons of windows and slider doors opening to the lake. Fast wireless (I did a speed test and it came in at 55 mbps) and streaming services set up for you to log in and enjoy on rainy afternoons or cozy evenings. Big outdoor fire pit was a treat as well. The house was a former small restaurant so the inside living area has a big bar and somewhat unconventional kitchen but these elements added character rather than inconvenience. The only downside (and it was minor) was no washer or dryer on site so bring extra clothes or wear stuff more than once (like we did - it’s a vacation in the North Country so nobody is too worried about fashion)!

The popularity of Island View is well deserved and it’s a great value so go for it!

A special place with lots of character and charm.

The home is cozy and warm. Simple access to the lake and the near by Dockside boat rental made things very simple. The cliff’s across the lake make for an exciting time. Bruce and Sandie are special people with good natures and big hearts. They are welcoming hosts.

Fort Ticonderoga nearby is a must see. The views for Defiance is absolutely breath taking. For a rainy day Queensbury theaters are not that far away, especially if you combine it with the day of shopping in Lake George.

I recommend this place for anyone thinking about spending some time on Lake George.
