Staff is super friendly and accommodating. The owners are consistently maintaining and updating the resort. They care about this place and their guests!

My only ask is more love for the fitness center, maybe a smith machine and some heavier dumbbells? To be clear, that's not a negative comment, I'm just being needy. Haha. See you guys next LG vacation!

Flamingo Resort has been a part of my life for the past 14 summers, and I can honestly say it holds…read morea special place in my heart. From the beginning, under the original owners, this resort became more than just a vacation spot, it became part of our family tradition. The original owners were truly remarkable people who poured their hearts into the resort, treating guests like family. Their warmth, hospitality, and understanding of what made this place special set the tone for everything we've come to love. Now under new ownership, I know there have been mixed reviews, but let's be honest, everyone starts somewhere. Chris, the new owner, listens, takes suggestions seriously, and is clearly making an effort to modernize the resort while honoring its legacy. Change is never easy, especially when emotions and memories run deep, but I see the intention behind it and truly appreciate the effort. The rooms have been revamped with clean floors and refreshed spaces, and housekeeping comes every two days, which works perfectly. And if you ever need something... just ask! The staff is accommodating and always willing to help. What keeps us/me coming back year after year? It's the community of regular guests who've become our "summer neighbors." That sense of connection and tradition is still very much alive. Chris understands how much we loved the previous owners and respects that legacy, while also bringing a new chapter to Flamingo Resort. Change takes time, but the heart of Flamingo is still beating strong. And for me that's reason enough to keep coming back.

Everything was cleaned to the point that it was sealed with plastic, including the spoons, coffee maker, glasses, I mean everything! Cute kitchen. Just make sure to bring dishwashing soap and coffee. The porch has a picnic table (bring a tablecloth) with umbrella and a cute grill that also is provided to you like new. You could switch out small propane tank up near office when you need a new one. We were here when nights were cool enough for windows to be open. You may be hot if weather is hot since only a small a/c is provided in kitchen which would definitely not cool off entire cottage. I would also bring a few hooks as there are no hooks on doors which made it difficult to hang towels, robe etc. no hooks or shelf space in shower so a bit difficult to hang washcloth, loofah etc but super clean and comfortable otherwise. The Lakefront is great, lots of room for everyone. Plenty of boats. Not a problem getting one and oars and life jackets are there for you. Large swimming area with a raft to swim out to. Fire pit, bocci balls, ping pong, mini golf lots of grills provided. Staff was very nice. This resort is on a very big hill. Be prepared to walk up a steep hill if you are on top. We were lucky to be closer to the lake. All of the cabins look cute, lots of trees so nice country Adirondack feel. There is no pool on the property but it really isn't necessary. The Lake is beautiful for swimming. I would highly recommend this property.

We picked staying here because we stayed next door last year, and the thought of staying somewhere…read morethat we could cook our own food appealed to us. So, this year, we booked a cabin. Really reasonable prices for a two bedroom cabin, that has a kitchenette, and living room. The resort is right on the Lake, and has a beach, and miniature golf(!) right on site. They provide a small gas grill for BBQ, too. I've no complaints about the place, at all. In fact, I am certain that I've never, ever, been in a cleaner spot in my life. I'm totally serious. They take clean to a new level, here. Every cabin was newly painted. Every possible surface in every room was buffed to a high sheen. Every thing that could be, was shrink-wrapped, just to prove it had been cleaned by them. Honest. Even the hand towels were encased in plastic. The pots, the utensils. Okay, each individual fork wasn't shrink-wrapped, but the utensil tray was. The weirdness of this obsession tickled me, immensely. The cabins are all nestled in a pine grove, all the way down a steep slope to the Lake's edge. It's a very quiet place to stay, which was nice during a rowdy bike event. Most of the year, I'd say this place caters to families. The decor is straight out of the Seventies. Not, cool California Seventies, but Uncle Rosco's basement Rec Room Seventies. I got a little nostalgic, and found myself humming Bay City Rollers songs. Check out the rooms photos on their site. One final note: bring things like dish soap with you. It's not provided.

Friendly, helpful, highly professional staff, in…read morea classic Adirondacks Alpine-styled resort, with breakfast and dinner inclusive, as well as innumerable water activities, including sailing, pontoon boat rides to an from a private island with a smaller private beach. The foods is terrific and the rooms are spacious and clean, and includes a sizable semi-private balcony. The room we had was spacious, comfortable and clean as a whistle. One minor complaint: the shower head was about 8 inches lower than it should have been. It was at the height of my chin and I'm not tall. It was just too low. It's a shame since the tile in the shower seemed new and suggested it was recently redone, but not perfectly. Maybe the installer was vertically challenged (e.g. short). Our food servers, Kenzie and Stacey, and the boat guys, were absolutely delightful, and it's clear that management treats their employees well, but run a "tight ship" which ensures quality. They have pontoon boats that offer a tour of the nearby shoreline which was good, but it was the only activity we were able to take advantage of, due to the gray skies and cool weather (in the 60's and low 70's). On Thursday night, they have a barbeque on "the Island"in the middle of the lake, but it was done in the dining room instead, so we didn't even get to see the island, which was a huge disappointment. Unfortunately, we booked for three nights and had three days of gray skies, as to he remnants of the recent hurricane moved past, but we made the best of it and enjoyed our visit. Hopefully, if we visit again, we will have better luck with the weather. Most guests were repeat visitors, with the comments typically "We've been coming for 17 years," or 14 years, or something similar. As newcomers, we were welcomed, and I recommend the resort, but strongly recommend you stay a full week, and it's really more of a family resort than anything, so bring a good large family with you to have the best time.

Unsanitary, unsafe & horrible management Please don't believe the positive reviews!…read more August 2024 I never leave reviews, but I really don't want anyone else to have the terrible experience my family and I had on vacation at this terrible resort. We had a total of 45 family members staying here. The rooms are old, dirty, and poorly maintained. Some of the rooms had no hot water and the owner Lenny, said that he tries to regulate the hot water. The lock on the entry door to our room was broken and difficult to lock. Lenny checked it out and said you have play with it, and it isn't going to be like your lock at home, you have to play with it. If you rent the big house on the premise, it smelled and had cobwebs on the chandeliers and in the kitchen. Also, keep in mind that the owner lives on the top floor. Its very odd! The two bedrooms both had holes in the walls from the door knobs. The bathroom is tiny with a very old tub and sink. The next day we rented boats. Lenny and another worker set the boats up. I expressed I didn't know how to swim and needed life jackets. They got the life jackets, but once we were already out on the boats, we realized there were none on it. I called the owner Lenny and he wasn't apologetic and kept saying he couldn't believe they weren't on the boat. I checked again with him on the phone and there were none on it. He then brought us the life jackets on the lake. Other family members were on another boat that broke down on the water. Lenny came and made light of it, said he knew there was an issue with the boat, and told them to wait on the boat while he went to talk to a mechanic at dock. Again he never apologized or offered any compensation for their lost boat time. Upon returning my boat, he didn't apologize and then proceeded to tell us that we damaged the propellor on the engine. There was no way we did and and he was so nasty about it. My husband and I started arguing with him. Immediately he started saying I'm going to call the cops. I expressed how with any complaint we made, he made light of it, and never tried to rectify the situation. We got nowhere with him and decided to leave. Please read the other negative comments because they are true! He must be writing his own positive reviews!

I have nothing but rave reviews to share about the staff, the organization of wedding details, the incredibly seamless communication to vendors, the delicious food, the comfort of the rooms, and the breathtaking views of the mountains and lake! From the day that we called and scheduled a venue tour as a newly engaged couple to the moment I was walking down the aisle, I have had only positive experiences working with the staff at the Erlowest. We booked the venue a little over a year out from our wedding date, so it is best to lock in a date as soon as possible. From there, we received printed and digital copies of various packages, enhancements, lodging options, suggested vendors, and contact information. We got to book a complimentary tasting session and got beautiful small portions of various options for our several courses to be served at our wedding. The chef at the Erlowest is a flavor genius. It was difficult to narrow down options when everything is absolutely one of the best bites I've ever had. Our wedding coordinator Liz seriously made sure we were taken care of from the moment she began working with us. She impressed me with her professional and prompt communication, personalized suggestions for our reception, and how she made sure we were comfortable and happy on our wedding day. The other staff at the Erlowest took such good care of us and our 100 guests from the night of the rehearsal until the morning after the wedding when they held onto our wedding cake top tier because we forgot it! They even held onto our ceremony flowers until we had time to come scoop them up later in the weekend. I have never received such pleasant service, and it was greatly appreciated on such a special weekend. The Inn at Erlowest itself is worthy of five stars just due to the impressive structure and history of the castle. We stayed in the Montcalm Room and had a large and comfortable king size bed, a jacuzzi, and a private balcony with a breathtaking view of Lake George. I recommend this room to those interested in a special and intimate experience. Wait until you try the sweets they leave after turn down service! I love the Inn at Erlowest and I know it will always have a special place in my heart. I cannot wait to go back!

It made the experience feel much more personal and was genuinely appreciated. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 was the atmosphere.

Nice beach area with lots of chairs, tons of "cabins" and rooms, lots of activities, a playground, good parking, and connected to a popular breakfast spot. Very friendly staff, clean rooms that were a decent size (we stayed in the deluxe 2 bedroom villa) and housekeeping service if you choose. I liked the touch of having the mini soaps, shampoo and body wash. Felt like a hotel. The reason for 3 stars was because we had a problem with our plumbing one night that resulted in the toilet overflowing and somehow what was in the toilet coming up through the shower drain!! The staff really tried everything to fix it, but unfortunately since it was late at night, they weren't able to. We lucked out and the cabin next to us was just cleaned so they gave us the keys to use that bathroom for the night. The next morning they were able to fix it and had someone come to clean up. Overall, I would come back again. Me and my family had a nice time. And the location in my opinion is ideal. Right between both towns and you can walk to breakfast, a deli, and horseback riding
