We landed here because we needed a quick place to regroup during our visit to Lake George And, I am hesitant to even write this review because I don't like giving away my best secrets; this place is one of them. Boulder Resort was clean, comfortable and a great place for my family. If you are looking for luxury and room service it's not for you. But if you want a very nice place to stay that has activities for the kids, I recommend whole heartedly. Kind and friendly staff with family oriented Vibe. Please make sure to read the website in order to understand the differences in the accommodations They offer. Thank you Boulder Resort. My family and I will be returning. M. Courtney read more

Boulders Resort - One of two pools at Boulder Resort - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Lake George, New York

This was a case of bait and switch. We reserved two nights at Boulders resort thinking we got a room in one of the lovely, yes lovely, rooms at the resort. Instead they gave us a room across the street in a dilapidated old musty cabin. There was no kitchen, lights were missing in the bathroom and porch and the shower curtain wasn't even put up. It was dangling from the hook! We over paid! We paid $266.40 each night for GARBAGE! If you book this resort, make sure you are staying at the boulders resort across the street, closer to the water and not the dilapidated cabins across the street. Shame on the owners for ripping people off. read more

We just got back from staying at the Boulder Resort. We stayed in the house (#45) and the house was absolutely horrible. The first issue was the furniture. Everything was old and worn and very uncomfortable The coach was the worst followed a close second to the beds. The stove smoked when you used it (plus you can't open it all the way because it hits the window). Everything is kinda dirty. The grill outside didn't have an oil pan and the dryer didn't work and the outside was covered in poison ivy. The staff was unresponsive to any issues. So much so that we left a day early. It's also way out of the way, and on the other side from the lake. On the side we were on their was supposed to be tennis counts, which there weren't. The "playground" was a couple little people houses. The lake was ok. The beach is super small because the own rents most of the lakefront out to boast. They did have good boats/kayaks/paddle boards to take out. The pool is also small for the size of the resort and very crowded. The fitness room is insanely small. The whole place looks a bit rundown. I gave it 2 starts instead of 1 because my 8 year old liked all the activities they had. They did try and have something different every day. Which honestly does not make up for the house. read more

They were able to accommodate 27 of us and were more than welcoming! The front desk staff (Joanne) was so friendly and helpful with any questions we needed answered. Dominic was so helpful with bringing firewood each night and was so polite. We all had such a wonderful time using the free accessible paddle boards, canoes, paddle boats, and kayaks. The resort was quaint and made us feel like we were at a campground with the fire pits and grills. 6 families were able to stay in different areas of the resort and all were very pleased. We were able to use the dock for fishing and even brought two boats to dock. The units could use a bit of updating, but it was very clean and they made sure to take the COVID sanitizing very seriously. We felt safe! We all booked it again for next year. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Just came back home from spending 7 days at Boulders. We stayed in a 3 bed 1.5 bath cabin and had a fantastic week. Having two kids in tow, this resort had soo many activities and amenities for them to enjoy! The staff was friendly and speedy when needed. Kayaks, paddle board, peddle boats, boat slips. It has everything you need. It's in a great location for those who enjoy the lake, the town and Bolton Landing. I can't wait to be back next year! read more

My family and I have been coming here for 5 years now and it is perfect. Fun things for kids and adults to do everyday all included. The staff is great. We come the same week every year and it's my favorite place on earth read more

Terrible. The worst I've been to. Linens are stained, and they won't make up the room. You have to put fresh linens on the bed yourself because of Covid. The bed is small. The carpet is stained, and the hair in the room was filthy. The room is built with bargain store cheap material. I didn't want to put my clothes in the old dresser they provide. The porch is crooked and looks like it can come down with the next rain storm. They are charging $250 a night for this low-class small room. We are driving around trying to find another room, that's how bad and disappointing this room is. We found a nicer and cheaper room down the road. I'm glad Boulders Resort refunded us our money. read more

My family and I have been coming here for 5 years now and it is perfect. Fun things for kids and adults to do everyday all included. The staff is great. We come the same week every year and it's great seeing familiar faces. You can relax and let the kids have fun. Having a place to stay right on the lake is perfect. Bruce and his family will be coming back for years to come read more

Terrible, if you can pick any other place run and never look back. It is listed as a 2 star location and it should really be 1 at most, pics look nice but when you arrive you realize it does not look like this, when we arrived the main pool on pics was not working, the bedrooms are dirty poorly conditioned, old towels, air conditioner made loud noise. Staff was ok but front desk young girl was so rude and would get mad if you called to ask for information. As we drove around we realized there are plenty of other locations def worth arriving in. We picked this location bc it was a last minute decision and everything else was taken, not worth the money, it is located by the lake so that is nice and they do have kyaks available for us to use which was nice as well but not good enough. read more

Highly Recommended For Families. I have been vacationing at Lake George for the past 21 years. This is the third resort we have stayed at and it stands above and beyond the rest. Owners put a great deal of time and effort into the cleanliness and overall upkeep of this place. We have been renting the same accommodations for the last 7 years and our unit has seen many upgrades over this time including mattresses, appliances and furniture. There are a couple of fun activities during the week such as movies down by the lake on a huge inflatable screen, a midweek BBQ, a poolside DJ with tropical drinks. It's close to the village and you can walk to one of the best restaurants in the area, Grandma's. read more

This is a strong 3 star establishment. It is cheesy and worth the money. However, the tennis courts are over grown and dont exist anymore and the workout room has 50% broken machinery read more

We have been coming to Lake George for years and, after staying at this establishment, was the first time we were disappointed. This time, we went up for my wife's 30th bday and was told the room would be decorated. No decorations. We were also told, given the fact that she's pregnant, that there would be golf cart service since we were staying across the street and up the hill from the lake. No service - they were too busy to send someone up. We didn't even have towels in the room. For what you pay to stay there, you would think even normal accommodations would be made. The only good thing about it was that they had decent TV channels selection and the big pool was free of children. Would never stay here again. read more

Possibly a good value, provided you stay on the "right" side of the road. If you stay on the wrong side, definitely better value to be had up or down the road. We booked the Boulders after noticing it while on an off season trip in February. Checked out the website, and it looked beautiful. Lake views, nice pool, activities and amenities for the kids, etc. Booked based on the website, but needed a 4 bedroom that would accommodate a special needs/wheelchair guest, and were told that they had such a unit, but it was "across the street" at their secondary property. Google view showed what you would expect, another group of houses/hotel rooms with a pool, etc. Looked nice enough, and the main property is just across the street, and there was even a small discount in the rate for being "across the street". The "discount" however, isn't worth what you are giving up as far as amenities go. The houses/cottages are what you would expect for upstate NY. Always look better in the pictures, but as long as they are clean, how bad can they be? The pictures definitely exaggerate the roominess of the 4 bedroom house, but again, that's to be expected and understandable as long as the amenities are up to order. The problem is that the amenities across the street are not. We thought it was great when we checked in, and noticed that our "across the street pool" was usually empty. Until we got in it, that is, and realized that nobody was using it because it was freezing cold. If that's not bad enough, the deck is constructed from some type of driveway blocks that are so rough you can barely walk across them without shoes. As far as activities go, they are available, but all across the street. This doesn't sound like a far walk, and straight line it's not, but if you factor in the elevation change from one side of the resort to the other it's a mini mountain climb. The activities and amenities are what you would expect, and again, if you stay on the "right" side of the road, you will enjoy them. If you stay on the wrong side, not so much. Pool on the "right" side of the road is heated, has lake view, a hot tub, and activities for the kids abound. Pool on the "wrong" side is like a dip in a cool mountain spring, which is not as refreshing as it sounds, and other than cutting your feet up on the "deck", there are no other activities to be had. I won't even get into the fact that they checked us into a room/house that had not been cleaned, and that internet didn't work for 3 out of the 7 days we were here and that I had to spend hours waiting for the "IT" guy to show up to explain what the issues were, because none of this would have mattered if the rest of the resort experiences were as advertised. The main issue is that I had reasonable expectations knowing the area, their advertisements indicated an above average experience for the area, and they did not deliver. Again, if we stayed across the street, my review would probably be different. If they explained more realistically the drop off in services and amenities from one side of the road to the other I would not have booked this side or this resort for the rate charged. If the price difference was more reflective of the difference, I wouldn't be complaining about it. However, this is not the case. We were sold the "right" side of the road experience at a minimal discount, that was not worth the drop off in amenities. Had I known this to be the case, I would have booked a mile or two up or down the road for a more appropriate price for a wrong side of the road experience! read more
