Can't wait to go again next year!
We just returned from a week at Lake George. I have found that finding a place that looked nice online and was actually nice can be a little bit of a chore. Driving into Lake George we were a little apprehensive about what our place would be like. We were very pleasantly surprised. Upon our arrival we checked into the office and were pleasantly greeted by Laura. Our room had two beds, a bath, a full size refrigerator, a stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and a table and chairs for 4. There are plenty of barbeques on the property and picnic tables to accommodate a few or many. We really enjoyed the private beach. The walk is a little steep coming back up but hey all of us could use a little exercise. When we arrived and went down by the lake we saw that a lot of people had great tubes and rafts and were floating leisurely in the lake while having a drink. We soon ventured out and bought our own tubes along with an electric pump. We then started driving down to the beach where there is enough room to park for the day. I cannot say enough good things about the resort. It’s not fancy but it's very clean, well maintained, the owners are very accommodating and it thought it was very good value for the weekly rate. My 14 year old daughter went to the office several times to ask Laura questions and she always came back with the information she was looking for. There is plenty to do but most of all we enjoyed jumping from the little bridge and swimming and floating in the unbelievably clean lake. We rented a pontoon boat at Yankee Marina next door to the hotel, we went to the fort, and enjoyed strolling around town a couples of times. The only thing that I really considered a tourist trap was the Barton Mines - but I guess some people liked it so I guess it’s just my opinion It was nice visiting the village but I really liked staying where we did which was outside the hustle and bustle. We saw a big painted horse riding around town advertising the Painted Pony Rodeo. We had never been to a rodeo. We decided to go to the barbeque and then the rodeo. It was great – very entertaining! My husband and I and our two daughters (14 and 10) loved it.. So thanks for our great vacation. We will definitely be back next year and maybe bring some more family with us. It’s a great place for a large group to be together and have fun. Thanks again.
