This hotel is fabulous! First and foremost - it could not be better for small children. The lake area is in a shallow cove and my kids were literally able to run out for a few minutes and still be up to their knees. There are plenty of kayaks and paddle boats to take out, and a small sandy beach area for the kids to play. There's also a pool on the property, but the lake area was great so we never even went. Rooms are a little older, but they are clean and spacious. The property is pretty small, so everything is an easy walk. There's also plenty of parking onsite. The location is also prime in Bolton and it's just a two minute drive up to all the shops and restaurants. The owners were super sweet and friendly and helped us out a few times when we were locked out of our room. Overall, this is a really nice family run hotel in Bolton and the location on the lake can't be beat. There are definitely cosmetic upgrades that could be made, but like many other hotels in the area it's a little old school. Looking forward to coming back - we had a great time here. read more

We stayed at Melody Manor Sept 11- 17th and overall had a very pleasant experience. While the room feels a bit outdated, the beautiful grounds and serene lake views more than make up for it. Or room was clean, quiet, and the bed was very comfortable, which made for a truly relaxing stay.We especially appreciated the little touches, like coffee and donuts in the morning, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with lovely scenery and a calm environment, this is a wonderful place to stay. read more

My boyfriend and I came up to Lake George to celebrate our anniversary in October. The property was beautiful and well maintained. The owner was super friendly and hospitable. The rooms were extremely clean and cozy. We spent a little bit more and requested a room with a view of the lake, which was well worth it! There were plenty of ammenities including a pool, tennis courts, bacci ball, and kayaks and paddle boats. We took the kayaks for a spin despite coming during the off season. We will definitely come back here the next time we visit the area! read more

Melody Manor Resort - View from the room on the first floor - Hotels Near Me - Bolton Landing, New York

My husband, I cannot say enough about how wonderful Melody Manor is! We stayed during July 4th. Our room had a perfect view of the fireworks. The grounds and room were spotless. It's extremely laid back and relaxing. We loved taking advantage of the private beach and docking area. We were able to take the paddle boats and kayaks out to enjoy the lake. The rooms are very large, equipped with a mini-fridge and microwave. The pool was very clean. We also had a great time playing bocce ball and shuffleboard. Overall, I highly recommend staying at Melody Manor. read more

Melody Manor Resort - Sunrise from our room :) - Hotels Near Me - Bolton Landing, New York

Amazingly beautiful views, and comfy rooms. Lots to do, and run by lovely, caring owners. people need to come stay here whenever they're in Lake George!! read more

Melody Manor is heavenly. The owners run a tight ship. The property is meticulous, the rooms are meticulous. The rooms are large with a large closet and plenty of draw space as well. The bathrooms are updated. The lighting in the bathroom is bright! The property has a clean swimming pool, a beach area for lake access, row boats, a restaurant, a huge lawn with chairs to sit on to absorb and fade away in the breath taking views. I was also impressed that families with child are booked on the lower level to avoid noise for us couples. They provided beach towels. I didn't have to use my own. Big plus! We will absolutely return to our new get away! read more

A short drive out of the chaos and kitsch that is Lake George Village and you come across a cute little Motel with a gorgeous view of the lake - perfect for a relaxing weekend. We stayed here for a wedding and it was overall a very good stay. Staff was friendly when we saw them (bartender at bar, waitstaff at restaurant, owner when we checked in). What is odd: To reserve a room I had to MAIL A CHECK FOR THE DEPOSIT (but you can pay the rest of the balance when you arrive by CC). UM it's 2009 you need to fix that.. who has checks anymore? Gotta find a way to take CC over the phone. Seems odd that you have to prepay for the whole stay in order to check in (most places charge you on the way out). Got an actual key - I haven't had a key at any place I've stayed at in a decade (used to those credit card looking key passes)! What was ok: Rooms - they were fine - nothing all that special. Bathrooms had been recently renovated (looks like wallpaper over old paint since I could see where the wallpaper ended and some other look was sticking out underneath) but overall clean. Power in bathroom kept going out - not sure if it was a blown fuze or what, but lost the lights and outlet over the sink in bathroom daily until maid reset it each morning. Shower frequently did not have enough hot water (boyfriend thought so and so did some of the other wedding guests). What was awesome: the view! every single room faces the lake and has a deck overlooking the lake. They have a lot of land right around the lake with chairs set up for people to hang out. Quiet and relaxing location. read more

Spacious, clean room. Fantastic views! Nice and quiet, close to Lake George Village but away from the crowds.

We love it here! The grounds are spectacular, the rooms are comfortable and offer some of the best views in the area. Rose and Damian couldn't be more gracious hosts and they make us feel like family. I've sent several friends over the years and they've all raved about their stay. Ask Damian about dock space as a boat is the best way to enjoy the lake! read more

My husband and I just spent an entire week at this gorgeous resort. We were there on our honey moon. The view was breath taking. Everyone was so kind to us. We had fun taking the boats out, swimming and fishing. It is located close Bolton landing where there's lots of fun places to go and places to eat. We will definitely go back to melody manor! read more

My boyfriend and I came for 2 days. May 19 and 20. We were lucky to get up there right b4 peak season. Property was incredible. View was delightful and Rose and Damien were lovely. Will definitely go again. read more

Amazing views, probably the best views on the whole lake, very friendly and welcoming staff, probably the nicest staff in town, super clean both inside the rooms as well as the entire grounds, beautiful beach with outstanding views, very clean and cool refreshing swimming pool on a hot summer day, adjoining rooms for bigger parties, kitchenettes available, games such as Bocci Ball and Shuffleboard as well as a children's playset complete with swings, a slide and monkey bars, paddle boats, rowboats and kayaks at no additional charge, big resort with extraordinary Adirondack scenery including a big stream that feeds the lake as well as pretty waterfalls and big robust Pine trees, excellent and delicious breakfast available at their restaurant. This place is perfect for your vacation getaway and I will definitely continue to go every year. read more

The rooms are clean, safe and comfortable. The property is well-maintained. The bar and the restaurant were closed all 5 days. The continental breakfast is what you'd expect for a place in this price range. The owners seem resolutely 'chill' even when correcting the behavior of some 'enthusiastic' guests. They kept the shenanigans from getting out of hand. It is between Lake George and Bolton so running errands or shopping is a snap. No location can fix the traffic at Lake George. Bottom line? A good value for the money. If you want to go high-end, head over to the Sagamore for a proper wallet biopsy! read more

Very clean and well kept place . Location is very nice with gorgeous views. It's close to a few restaurants but the best part is they have a restaurant of their own on site. Getting a breakfast in the morning on site is a huge plus. I was there a few years ago and hope to go again this summer. Pool for the kids, tennis court. Great views . read more

Nearly 30 years after I visited the Lake George area with my family, we returned to Melody Manor. The motel wasn't brand-new, but it was clean and comfortable, with a small beach and boats. Our group also enjoyed playing ping pong, basketball, volleyball, and shuffleboard by the swimming pool. Villa Napoli, the Italian restaurant on Melody Manor's grounds, was family-friendly. The service and food were good for both breakfast and dinner. Other than the occasional noisy guests, Melody Manor is a great place to relax and enjoy nature lakeside. read more

I just got back from 2 nights at Melody Manor, and my only complaint is, I couldn't stay longer! Melody Manor is set on a beatiful, scenic oasis with breathe taking views. The set up is so cute, with sections of rooms wrapped around the Lake. You can take in some afternoon sun overlooking the lake and the dock and the boats that are right there. Now the really important stuff: the food. Villa Napoli is on par with the food I ate in Italy. Dinner was delicious, breakfast was delicious, the staff members are all so kind and wonderful. The owners of this delightful place are the Alessi's, and they are beyond fabulous. They are so hands on, and really set the pace for what will be a lovely, relaxing get-away. I would reccommend Melody Manor to anyone looking to unwind and have a great weekend. I cannot wait to return!! read more

My wife and I recently spent 3 nights at this gorgeous resort just south of Bolton Landing on the eastern shore of Lake George. Tucked in the corner of beautiful Huddle Bay, this resort offers a wonderful view, convenient location, a fantastic restaurant (the best pappardelle bolognese this side of Italy), and a clean and friendly environment. Our room was clean, comfortable, and I don't think any room is more than 200 steps to the water edge. Villa Napoli: Conveniently located on the property, we thought at most enjoy this place for one or two meals. Well...we ended up eating every breakfast and dinner here. (They are closed between 11-4p when we just snacked for lunch anyway). Excellent breakfast menu with lots of options. Dinner was better than any Italian restaurant we have dined at in NYC and beyond. The property was clean and well manicured. Perched on a cliff over looking the lake, it provides an excellent view. With the lake and access to a boat docked in one of the 3 private slips, we didn't spend much time by the pool, tennis court, basketball slab, shuffle board or ping pong table (although it was tempting). Hope this was helpful. We cannot wait to begin an annual tradition when we return next summer! read more

I went to Lake George recently and had the pleasure of staying at Melody Manor. This place was lovely and very serene. The property had a fantastic view of the mountains and the lake and the property and rooms were very well kept. They had a pool, a tennis court, a large playground for the kids and a basketball court so there was plenty of things to do. My favorite part of the resort was the restaurant, Villanapoli. The food was fantastic, the service was great and the owner Rose was delightful. Melody Manor is also located right between the town of Lake George and Bolton Landing so it was a short ride into the town. I am planning on returning next summer! read more

I returned from my weekend visit at Melody Manor yesterday and I must say I could have spent at least another week relaxing and taking in the sights this beautiful piece of property has to offer. Not only is the resort spotless, the staff friendly and attentive and the food outrageous but the owners, Rose and Damian are wonderfully kind and genuine people. Villa Napoli is the restaurant located on the property. Now I have to be honest I was not expecting to visit Lake George and have a fabulous meal but fabulous was exactly what I got. Everything was cooked to perfection and so flavorful from the eggplant brushetta to my linguine and clams, just perfect! I am really looking forward to my next extended visit to Melody Manor! read more

We recently hosted a 4 day company retreat at Melody Manor and I can't say enough positive things about the resort, the owners and the staff. The location is perfect and the photos on their website give you a very good feel for the location. I visited dozens of hotels/motels on the lake (and further in the ADKS) before selecting MM as the site of our retreat. The combination of so many rooms with lake views, beach, dock, and pool sealed the deal for us. And Rose and Damion took an excellent location and turned it into the perfect experience. Thank you. read more

I've been to Lake George 3 times now and have stayed at Melody Manor every single time. I can't see myself ever wanting to stay anywhere else. The location, service, and accommodations were all unbeatable. The room I stayed in was a 4 person, 2 queen size bed room. It was very clean and spacious. Not to mention, they have the BEST Italian restaurant in all of New York. I look forward to my yearly visits just to go to Vila Napoli and have their amazing lasagna or bacon wrapped filet mignon. I have also gotten to know the owners personally. The Alessi's are the most likable and easy going people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I know that they will personally attend to any question or concern you have. If I hear anyone I know visiting Lake George I always strongly recommend staying at the Melody Manor. They are lakeside and also have a pool. The property and the view are so serene and beautiful. Bolton Landing is also only 10 minutes away from Lake George Village if you want to explore the raging night time scene over there :) read more
