A Curated Collection of Luxury Vacation Homes in Lake George

The Northern Living difference starts with the rental homes themselves. Not every beautiful house makes the cut. Owner Katelyn Moskos and her team personally view every property, ensuring it meets their strict standards before it can be added to the inventory. 

From contemporary lakefront manors to secluded, elite cabins, each home is chosen for its unique offerings and wow factor. Whether you’re searching for a waterfront home, a pet-friendly house, or a sprawling estate that can accommodate over 50 guests for a corporate retreat or family reunion, the Northern Living website makes it easy to filter for your needs.

You can search by bedroom count, or specific wants such as:

  • Lakefront
  • Pet-Friendly
  • Secluded Setting
  • Holiday or Winter-Ready Retreats

Lifestyle Amenities: From Home Theaters to Private Docks

outdoor pool and lake
Pools and hot tubs are a fixture at many Northern Living vacation rentals.

Northern Living properties are designed to be destinations in and of themselves. When they say "luxury," they mean it - you'll be impressed by amenities that ensure you never need to leave the property if you don't want to.

Amenities could include:

  • Private beach, private dock space, private pool, kayak/paddleboard rentals
  • Home theaters, game rooms, bars, private playgrounds
  • Hot tubs, fireplaces, spa-like bathrooms, high-end linens
  • Chef's kitchens, coffee bars, grills, outdoor dining areas

Whether you're cooking up a meal in the gourmet kitchen or hosting a game night, you'll be ready to entertain.

While these big-ticket items are key, smaller hospitality touches enhance your getaway even more. Think welcome baskets, s’mores kits, wine, coffee, lake towels that are separate from the bath towels, stocked kitchens, and rentals for cribs, high chairs, and booster seats could all be waiting upon arrival.

Unparalleled Concierge Service: Going the Extra Mile

Choose a vacation rental that is a destination in and of itself - you'll never need to leave the property if you don't want to.

The cornerstone of Northern Living is their customizable concierge service. Other vacation rental homes in the area might have a private dock or a living room fireplace, but can they get you a personal chef? 

This team has accommodated everything from building wheelchair ramps for accessibility, to removing all down-filled bedding for guests with specific allergies.

Popular concierge add-ons include:

Personal Chef Services: Hire a chef for a special dinner or event, or to manage every meal for your stay.

Farm Fresh Delivery: Fresh meat from Fuller Acres can be delivered and stocked in the freezer prior to your arrival.

Event Planning: Northern Living will also help you celebrate big milestones, featuring flowers and balloons, just ask! Some properties will allow for small events/weddings. The sky's the limit with celebrations.

24-Hour Support: Need help starting a campfire? Question on where extra blankets are located? Reach out and ask!
