We call our little waterfront A-frame cottage Big Vista for obvious reasons. The prettiest views we have ever seen will be yours every moment you spend here. The rustic A-Frame cottage is right on (and above) the lake providing unmatched views.
No electric wires, no road, and no driveway between you and the beautiful water!

The interior is knotty pine in the main living area and has tasteful Adirondack decor throughout. The master suite has a King size bed and its own bathroom (and a coffee bar!) and covered porch, perfect for quietly sipping your coffee lakeside each morning. From the screened porch on the main level, enjoy panoramic views of the morning mist rising from the lake and sunrise over Cobble Mountain. The screen porch is also perfect for dining, or to gather for family game nights. The main deck is roomy with a glass table, chairs, a hammock, a propane fire pit, and a propane grill. The tall pines surrounding the property provide plenty of cool shade on the hot summer afternoons.

The updated kitchen offers just enough of what is needed, including a full-sized fridge, induction cooktop stove, 24 electric oven, coffee pot, electric tea kettle, and microwave.

The upstairs bedroom sleeps two with a single and a full log style bed. A new large window was just installed in the upper bedroom which also features three skylights and an A/C unit for those warm summer nights.

The stars of the show at Big Vista are the incredible views, covered screen porch, main deck, private floating swim dock, and your own private sundeck lakeside on a gorgeous Adirondack lake! Our floating dock is a blast for paddling from, swimming, jumping off, or just hanging out in the sun. Lake Luzerne is limited to 7.5 hp motors, so, without any speedboats buzzing around, the clean waters are ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling.

Lake Luzerne is just 10 miles from Lake George Village, so a visit to faster-paced nightlife with restaurants and shops is nearby.

When visiting Big Vista, you will have use of a 15’ two-seat canoe, two kayaks, and two paddleboards, plus all life jackets and paddles needed.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The location is very peaceful and great if you just want to chill. Spent more time on the lake than we expected because it was so convenient with the canoe, kayaks and paddle boards being right there. Host Robert was the best, made the whole experience easy and inviting. It was challenging for our minivan to get uphill on the gravel driveway. Consider come in an AWD or a lighter vehicle.

    Beyond perfect! Amazing stay at Big Vista! The owners Lori and Burl have thought of everything to make our stay amazing. Upon arriving through a dirt road leading up to the house, the view of the lake emerges and an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility ascends upon you. Entering the A-frame cabin there’s a deck with comfortable furniture to sit and enjoy the view and listen to the eagles, blue jays, loons calls and songs. There is a propane fire pit and BBQ to use. Entering the cabin through a screened porch is magical. Warning, after a long day, if you lay down on the sofa you might just wake up the next day!! Sliding doors enter to the main house to the main living space. There’s a well equipped kitchen w many condiments, creamer, coffee, fresh ice bags and a covered bowl of fresh baked cinnamon buns that really hit the spot for breakfast. On the table was a beautifully curated basket of gifts to use and keep. Very special and thoughtful touches from the owners going above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. All the appliances were new

    For a week of quiet and relaxing this is the place. A perfect spot to unwind, do some exploring with a gorgeous view. Our first time in this area did not disappoint. Host included kayaks, paddle boards and floats to enjoy the lake and a view that does not end. Cannot say enough nice things about the hosts from booking through our check out- wonderful recommendations, ensuring our comfort all the way to calming me when we had an issue with a kayak. Thank you!

    First time up in the Adirondacks and found this great getaway. Close enough to busy activities and towns but better for us, the perfect spot to stay, relax, swim, kayak and unwind! Super thoughtful hosts. Would definitely go again! Don’t miss out!

    I wish the McCutcheon family owned every place I traveled to. You could not ask for a host more interested in you having a good stay. The property has 4 separate sitting areas outdoors & is perfect for a party of 3-4. There is some verticality to it, but my wife is disabled from a stroke and was still able to access all areas including the lake front. It is about 20 min from both Lake George and Saratoga Spring and in between are a number of restaurants and activities. The lake itself is perfect for a swim, or paddle, and is not too big, not to small. At times you can hear the music camp across the lake. The is a hidden gem and worth your effort to get to. If you do go, listen to the directions provided by the host. GPS does work to a point, you need his verbal directions for the final .25 mile. Just keep turning right. What a fun time we had here

    Beautiful house with amazing views of the lake. Drinking my morning coffee on the porch while viewing the lake, was a great way to start the day! Great location, close to many activities and things to do. The house itself had everything we needed to be comfortable. Robert was very responsive. Highly recommended!

    My now fiancé and I have stayed at a lot of Vrbo or Airb&b properties and it’s always a gamble on the property to match the photos and information provided for said property. Not with Big Vista, it was spot on with the privacy and having basically your own private spot on lake luzerne. The owners are very easy to work with and answer promptly if needed for anything. The property was beautiful and lived up to its Name Big Vista. We will be coming back next year. We believe we may have found our future vacation spot for summer getaways.
