Beautiful property, I attended a wedding on the grounds and reception in the boathouse. The staff were friendly and unobtrusive. It was a sweltering day, sun umbrellas would have been nice but they did offer water on the lawn.

This will be our destination every trip to Lake George! These lodges are amazing, the views and location is worth every penny! There is to much to say and it's hard to say so much because I want to keep it our secret.

I found the Lodges while looking for a COVID era anniversary trip with my wife. I had eaten at the Boathouse Restaurant in the past (this is the on premise restaurant) and thought the Lodges seemed like a nice place to stay when I was there. When I searched further I found the rates to be very reasonable. Note: I went in November though, which is off-season for Lake George. They had a completely contact-free check in process. I never had to interact with anyone in person. Which, depending on your view of this COVID nonsense, can be a good or bad thing. Personally, I prefer the human touch. The room is rustic with a log cabin feel, but very clean. My room had a balcony overlooking the lake, which was worth the price alone. My wife and I sat outside each night to take in the sites. The location is perfect. It is just outside of Lake George Village so you're not exposed to the busy season craziness and just a few miles from beautiful Bolton Landing, which has some wonderful eateries. My only complaints are the weak remote battery and one outlet not working. Not enough to bring the rating down in my opinion. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

This was our family's first time visiting Lake George and we were really pleased with the Lodges at Cresthaven. Our lodge (26) was the perfect size and space for 5 of us (2 adults, 3 kids: 17 and twin 10 year olds). The twins took the bunk beds in the 1st floor bedroom, the teen took the comfortable pull out couch, and we enjoyed our privacy upstairs in the primary bedroom. The property is well kept with beautiful landscaping. The infinity edge pool with the indoor / outdoor experience was a highlight - we even enjoyed cooling off in the little kiddie pool, too. The hot tub under the grotto was relaxing - 18 years and over which seems a little strict but I understand they're trying to reserve space for the adults. The beach was nice with plenty of chairs and friendly ducks! Service was great. Having the restaurant on site was a big attraction for us but unfortunately the menu and pricing was unappealing. We are by no means cheap but you could drink for cheaper than some of the appetizers...(that is the only reason for it not being 5 stars). We loved our stay and absolutely would recommend it without reservation - hope to be back soon!

In my opinion this is one of the nicest places to stay in lake George . All units are well built , fully stocked with kitchen , living room 2 bathrooms etc washer dryer balcony all you need for a successful visit We arrived on a whim and found unit 42 to be a great spot , we have 2 little ones and it was next to playground . We played basketball , badminton , used the deee kayaks and paddle boards, they have children's activities we participated in daily . Very well thought out place . The staff was always kind and welcoming. Each young adult was a pleasure to talk to and hear how they are locals and getting ready to go back to college .. I loved the 730 fire , the adult hot tub , the grounds were magnificent . The restaurant was hit or miss but it would not deter me from returning . Food was inconsistent , same dish on different days missing parts of it - but all was corrected . I really cannot wait to go back . I'm very interested in a time share if I can make it happen . Met a bunch of wonderful families , exactly what life needs

View from a cabin.
Laura M.

Is this place real? The cabin my family and I are staying in is literally from a dream I've had. It is hard to believe that a place like this is available to whoever is willing to pay. It is definitely on the pricey end of things, but so UNBELIEVABLY worth it. The following is a list of a few things about our cabin that blow my mind: -The lighting: the lighting throughout the cabin is placed in such ways that the lights not only brighten the room, but also show-off the gorgeous texture of the cabin cedar walls. Really aesthetic. -The smell: they've gotta be pumping in some sort of aroma through the windows when we're not looking, because the whole place has such a wonderful smell, and it's not just the smell of the wood. -The views: we are staying in a lakeside cabin that sits right by the water. We have two porches, one off the living room/kitchen and one upstairs, both of which have a table and four chairs to enjoy the views. It's really beautiful. -The comfort level: every piece of furniture was tested out before purchasing, I'm sure of it. From the beds to the kitchen chairs and counter bar stools, the seating and other furniture is perfectly comfortable. Cresthaven definitely had their customers in mind when they designed these cabins. -The aura: You know you're in the Adirondacks, and not just because you literally are. You stay in an actual cabin, and a beautiful one at that, with a wondrous view of Lake George, surrounded by the beautiful greenery of upstate NY. I feel like a relaxed, yet semi-glamorous lumberjack. Other awesome features: -Hammocks all over the campus of Cresthaven -Wooden swing sets for every cabin -Private beach -Wifi -Wonderful indoor decor -Indoor and outdoor heated pool -Recreation center -Totally super playground for "kids" (and myself) -Friendly ducks -Great service The Lodges at Cresthaven are 167000% worth the price you pay. I never want to leave here.

This place is BEAUTIFUL...we booked on a quick let's get away for winter festival. We are a family of 5. Our youngest is 15.. so all adult sized. Our "cabin" is amazing. I loved our steam shower. The fact there is a washer and dryer a bonus. we have stayed at many places with a kitchen..well this one is top notch No plastic plates..no junk utensils I could actually cook here and I did and I enjoyed it. Morning coffee on our patio/deck even though it was chilly was so relaxing all you hear is birds and you see the snow on the mountains and the frozen lake. it is stunning. our kids enjoyed the game room and I was informed I hafta buy a ping pong table now..The beds are outstanding even on the pullout chair. we will be coming back next winter and I cannot wait

Our lodge

We were very impressed with the lodge. Everything was clean and well maintained. I would like to give a special thanks to Valerie in the main office. She was very helpful to us. We were so impressed with the place that we are looking to do our wedding ceremony here.

This place is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is so cool! Views of the lake everywhere you look. The staff is so friendly and respectful to the guest. The grounds are very well maintained. Rooms are very neat and orderly they look just like cabins.

Wow. The pictures on the website do not do justice for their Oak Tree Lodge! We stayed here for 3 nights over Valentine's weekend. A short getaway for our famly of 5. We were not expecting such a modern and clean "cabin space". Although it resembles a wood lodge, it has all the modern day amenities built in. I'm not sure how old the building is, but it looks brand new/ or maintained very very well. There were no issues at all with furniture/ rugs/ etc. The bedrooms were located on opposite sides of the living room. My children stayed in one bedroom while my husband and I stayed in the other. The entire living space is beautifully appointed with aesthetically pleasing rustic looking furniture. But all the electronics were modern day. Flat screen TVs were located in each room. Each able to connect to internet (Youtube, etc). There is a fireplace unit in the living room. The kitchen housed all the kitchenware and cutlery you would need to prepare meals. Also stocked with kitchen appliances (toaster, blender, coffeemaker) There is also a washer and dryer in the unit that wasn't advertised online. Laundry and dish soap were provided. The bathroom in my chilldren's room had a jacuzzi. Ours was a large walk in shower, with built in steam shower unit. It was a nice touch. The view of Lake George could be seen from every room. The lake was frozen by the second day we were there and it was a spectacular view. The outside patio had several tables and chairs, but it was too cold for us to use. A cold front moved in and temperatures were -15. We came for the Lake George Winter Carnival, unfortunately a lot of the activities were cancelled due to the subzero temperature. Nonetheless, we had a great time staying in. We left a few times to go grocery shopping and to some local chain restaurants- all a short 15 min drive away. We also visited the Adirondack Outlets. The only complaint we have... Our unit was on the top floor. The elevator was not functioning and we asked the front desk about it and was told it was acting up and would not be back up. When it started to snow the last two days, walking down two flights of stairs was really hazardous because the floor was tiled and slippery. I saw they laid down a rug to prevent slipping on the first floor, but not on the second our third floors. beware. Overall, we highly recommend this lodge!! We can't wait to come back in the summer.

Veiws from cabin 3
Paul R.

We stayed in cabin 3 off the beach for a week and it was beautiful. A bit small and some of the amenities were out of order but we made due and the staff quickly got us a few replacements. The pool veiws and temperature are to die for! My wife ,and I had dinner at the Boat House ,an on Resort restaurant on the lake. It was fine, if you're a foodie like myself you may be a little disappointed with this run of the mill play it safe menu, of old school continental delight. Its pre-made frozen deserts definitely cost them a star. Booooo!! The entire lake is similar, as I couldn't find a decent wine shop anywhere . Get your wine in Saratoga before arriving at George. ....The lake itself is fabulous, and Crystal clear with lots of shallow reefs and coves for diving or fishing. Renting a boat from Chic's is recommended. Cresthaven is probably already aware their gym is far too small and is in the process of rectifying that issue. ....at least I hope they are....I would visit again and probably make them aware of our high end demands prior to arrival next time.

We stayed in a room with 2 queen beds, it was very spacious and clean. There was only two draws to put our clothes so we each only got one. The shower was big, but the water pressure wasn't great.

The room had two king beds, a small miracle for a man accustomed to one, and the soundproofing was a triumph of human engineering. Even with Oktoberfest raging below, once the balcony door was closed the silence was so complete that I could almost hear my own thoughts apologizing for existing. The hotel sits right on Canada Street, which is the main artery of Lake George's little heart. Shepard Park is practically across the street, full of families, music, and the particular chaos of people on vacation trying to have a perfect time. The staff managed to stay cheerful through it all, smiling with the kind of sincerity that must come from good training or good souls. Parking was a game of Tetris, but I was grateful for the garage. Once my car was wedged in, I had no reason to drive again. Everything that mattered was within walking distance. The rooftop terrace deserves a poem, though I am too lazy to write one. The lake spread out below, blue and calm, and for a few minutes I believed in peace on earth. There is no hot tub, which feels like a crime against nature. The patio outside the pool almost begs for one. Imagine sitting there in January, snow falling into the water, steam rising like forgiveness. The restaurant did not thrill me, and the prices made my wallet flinch. Still, it was a fine stay, the kind that makes you feel momentarily better about the human race before the bill arrives to remind you of reality. Four stars. A lovely place, too expensive for what it is, but worth remembering all the same.

We have been coming every winter for the past six years and have made some terrific memories here…read more There is so much I genuinely like about this place. The location is convenient and feels like part of our ritual now. The staff are almost uniformly kind and welcoming to our kids and us. They remember us, greet us cheerfully and make this feel like a home base. The outdoor hot tub was a particularly welcome amenity on this past brutally cold weekend and it helped us warm up a chill that seemed to go straight to our bones after time outside on the lake. It really is one of those few places that feels like a welcome retreat no matter the weather. If there weren't any flaws, this would be a much easier review to write. But there are flaws, and they are things that should have been tended to long ago. The rooms have definitely seen better days. Many of our dresser drawers barely opened. The refrigerator was hardly cool. Furniture had visible damage and some of the electrical outlets were non-functional or battered to the points that plugs fell right out f them. These are not deal breaking in isolation but taken together they left us feeling that the room was tired and poorly maintained. A little thoughtful maintenance or investment here could go a long way and make the rooms feel a lot more comfortable. Another disappointment this year was the breakfast buffet at TRs Restaurant. In years past it was a highlight and something our kids looked forward to to prepare for a cold morning out. This visit, the quality seemed to have declined and the selection felt smaller. The restaurant itself still has a lovely lake view and a cozy fireplace, and the service was still friendly and attentive, but the breakfast spread did not live up to our memories. So I find myself landing on a three star rating. If you take this place for what it can still be, it is a wonderful family resort with great staff and some truly nice amenities. But right now the condition of the rooms and some of the public areas combined with the breakfast experience hold it back from being the much stronger destination I know it can be. Here is hoping that ownership puts some money back into the property so it can recapture its full potential.

I had wrongly reserved a room for the handicapped. Gary took a minute to rectify the reservation and found another room, and bonus, I had a view of the lake. The room was clean and comfortable. I found 2 bottles of water and I could make coffee. I slept well. In the morning I had the buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant, TR's,(it's named for Teddy Roosevelt). The food and coffee were good. They offered several juices, and an omelet station. Hotel buffets are hit or miss and TR's was a hit. Overall a pleasant stay. I even saw Santa Claus!

Boyfriend had no idea where to stay, and it was my first time going to Lake George so I didn't know either; I chose this place mainly because I like using the Hilton app to book... super convenient - you can choose your room the day before (we prefer the top floor) and if you request the digital key, you will receive a message though the app when your room is ready - and you can go up directly without checking in at the front desk (room unlocks with your phone). We booked the most basic king room. It was clean, bed was comfortable, big flat screen tv and all the usual Hilton amenities. Bathroom had a beautiful shower. The hotel is obviously an older one that was renovated, but it was very nicely done. The lobby is gorgeous. I *loved* the lobby bar area, the stone fireplace and the outside backyard with Adirondack chairs, and even a fire pit and a bbq. I would have spent a while there if the weather had been less misty! Usual Hilton breakfast in the lobby, we didn't take part. It looked similar to the one at Littleton NH's Hampton Inn, but with a bit less options. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful!

When we checked in we were told that they clean the rooms every other day when you are there multiple days. If we needed cleaning more often, just to ask. Went into the room and saw that the HVAC wood vents on the doors were called in dust. Ok, so they forgot to clean it. A few minutes later I was shown a dirty rag left on the Butlers Pantry sink. Then I was down some hairs were left on the shower so it wasn't cleaned well. Three strikes so a call to the desk to complain. Normally wouldn't complain but these just added up. They offered to move us to another room on a different floor, but same style room. Opted to stay since by then we had already "moved in" by unpacking. They said they would market it a point to do a cleaning the next day. So-Fi for our electronic items was ok. But Ib think the television was on Wi-Fi and it would cut out every few minutes, causing the screen to freeze and blur. This was on all the channels so it was annoying when trying to watch the news, a show, or a movie. Water pressure in the shower was OK. Would have liked it to be more stronger but it worked. Breakfast was good. Our first morning there we were surprised that they had scrambled eggs. Second day the familiar half circle omelets with cheese were back along with bacon. No complaints as it was all good. Did look for apple juice and not sure if they had milk there to drink. Plenty of coffee though.

Food: Pretty underwhelming, you could get similar or better food at your local diner. Menu is somewhat limited as well especially for sides and drinks. I got the french toast, it wasn't very moist at all, uninteresting flavor, the strawberry garnish was dried up on the inside so must have been left out for a while, bacon was fine, maple syrup was good. I had a few bites of the omelette which was good and home fries which were on the dry side and without much flavor. Value: It wasn't too expensive thankfully despite being marketed as a 'fine dining experience' I'd say value was about even with the low quality food, french toast was $11. Overall definitely would not recommend, you could get better food at a diner or cafe.
