Private Lake George cabin with a custom bar built from the property's own trees, half a mile from the water. Tucked into the Pilot Knob area of Kattskill Bay on a private, 0.81 acres, this 1,512 sq ft cabin has one bedroom and 1.5 baths. A bar runs the full length of the interior, handcrafted by a local craftsman from trees cut on the property. Two sources of wood heat, a fireplace and a Vermont Castings stove, set the Adirondack mood. The eat-in kitchen looks out over the cleared front yard, and the upstairs loft holds a cozy bedroom. Out back, the covered deck has a stone pizza oven, ready for entertaining. Fort Ann Beach and the Buck Mountain Trailhead are both close by, with boating, hiking, swimming and skiing in reach. The septic was pumped in spring 2026, and the house has oil heat. A good fit as a Lake George getaway or a year-round retreat. Contact Kelly DeMichele for more information, 518-928-9019.
