Perfect long weekend at this lake cottage

We had a relaxing weekend here with everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks and the well-stocked kitchen. Water pressure in showers was great, and we appreciated the labeled electrical switches. There were beautiful views out of the many windows. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views of Lake Moraine

This lake house is great! It has everything you need inside and two decks to enjoy the lake. the entire living room has windows to enjoy the view. It was super quiet and peaceful when my daughter and I stayed in April. And it's about a 7 min drive to Colgate and only 5 min to price Chopper. :-) Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Cottage on the lake!

Great location, quiet and quaint. Perfect size for a family of 3. Well appointed, everything well stocked and in very good working order. We rented the cottage for our 30th anniversary and we were not disappointed! Very underrated lake and surrounding area. Everything was wonderful! Thank you Christian for such a beautiful place! We will highly recommend this cottage to everyone we know.

Great Hamilton NY Find

Great house for up to 4 people. Right on water with a huge patio & deck along with kayaks to use. Well stocked kitchen for those who like to cook. Really great hair dryer in the main bath. Host left a little treat for us and Keurig coffee was complimentary. We stayed 6 days. Only 5 min drive to Colgate University. Would def recommend.

Great Vacation spot!

Wow! A beautiful, clean cabin right on the lake with ALL the amenities. Our host left us a bottle of wine, water in the fridge, and complimentary coffee. So thoughtful! Everything was as advertised and more - We had a GREAT time on the lake - Having the windows open at night was a plus for us since we are from Florida! Will definitely be back.

Two Trips in One

Perfect location when visiting Colgate University for any reason-- but also right on Lake Moraine, allowing for a beautiful and serene setting in and of itself. The cabin could not have been any more accommodating for our needs- and Christian was extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend for a family of 4 (there's even a pullout couch for a 5th person).

Lakefront Gem in Hamilton

Spent our Easter weekend at the Lake Moraine Cottage to visit our son (student at Colgate) and relax. We achieved both goals and the cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay. Christian was a great host and obviously put a lot of TLC into the cottage. The location was perfect and Christian has the best deck set up. The cottage is very quaint and comfortable. While the lake is small you still experience the serenity of waterfront and beautiful surroundings. The cottage is very well kept with updated kitchen and bathrooms. Love this area, this location and cottage. Thanks Christian
