You can do your laundry, cook, jacuzzi etc. Rooms are big enough for quite many people. Although, I believe only 6 max is allowed. Staff are also very nice. The Boathouse Restaurant is at the bottom of the hill if you don't want to cook. For those who wants to show off their culinary skills, you can shop for groceries at Price Chopper. I went to the one North-West of Cresthaven instead of the one in the town. About 10 minutes drive with larger parking lot. Didn't try out the pool but looks pretty fun.

It's certain we got off to a bumpy start but I'm certain it's their preparations for winter and I just got caught in an anomaly of scheduling. The property is immaculate. Landscaping lovely. Placement of the cabins, lodges and other buildings, well thought out. Little things, small details like attached grill brushes for every grill, well placed seating and communal dining areas shows an attentiveness to guests that I appreciate. The Boathouse restaurant made us perfect steaks. I love a good steak! After my rough start, management was accommodating and made sure we were happy with the rest of the trip. if you're planning on off season, know the town closes down with just a couple of exceptions and that the resorts will be doing maintenance before the long winter sets in. If you're prepared for that you will be delighted at Cresthaven. Now. Here's the initial 1 star review just so you can see where I started and how far I came around to their hospitality. I'm grieving the loss of my husband, a 9/11 first responder . I came for quiet and to paint. Today, on my first morning, beginning before 8 am. The drilling began. Then, 3 workmen in arrive to work in the unit next to mine, hammering away. And just now huge chemical fumes as I'm sitting on porch. Broom closet is in 2nd bedrooms closet - my traveling companion cannot/ will not hang her clothes next to a mop. No instructions on how to use fireplace. Which in the end did not work. No instructions on WiFi

The elements are easy enough to list: fabulous swimmable lake, fresh vegetables within walking distance, lots of hiking, farmer's market in town once a week, easy places to grill, many points of interest (a drive to an abandoned iron mine for the history minded, or visit the ladies that make goat cheese and pet a goat). And a sky filled with billions and billions of stars... but other places can make similar claims. As you see from the other reviews, many guests have fallen under the special spell of the place's enchantment long ago, and are drawn back. Me too, now.

There is a swimming area in their private lake, row boats for each cabin, a tennis court, ping pong tables, a swing set for adults and kids, and of course beautiful hiking trails. The N is a magical and special place that anyone can enjoy and I hope to share it with more guests in the future.

TLDR: best place to eat on the lake, make a reservation and go! Now on to the full review:…read more Thanks to the foresight of my late grandfather, my family is fortunate enough to have a camp on the northeastern shore of Lake George. Throughout life's ups and downs, I've yet to miss visiting in the summer/fall for any of my 42 years. Lake George is 32 miles long, and the northern basin (north of the "Narrows" group of islands) really is better than the southern half. Why? It's cleaner, less busy, and a lot less commercialized. The trade-off is you're a bit farther from the highways, making the trip to the nearest airports (Albany, NY or Burlington, VT) or rainy day things like the mall a little longer. The northern basin also is not chock full of lakefront restaurants and bars like the south side (Bolton and Lake George village). Anyway, that was a long preamble to Martucci's restaurant. I'll get to the point now: this isn't just the best place to eat in northern lake George, it's the best place to eat on the lake - period! They serve breakfast 7 days a week, and serve dinner Thursday - Sunday evenings 5:30 to 7:30 PM. They've got things like burgers, lamb chops, and salmon every night. There are also rotating specials like their lamb shank. My dad and I were lucky, and went on a night when lamb shank was on the menu. All I can say is: damn it's good! You won't need a knife, it's "fall off the bone" tender. The orzo it's served with is very flavorful too, I believe they cook it in the lamb juices? Rich as lamb is supposed to be, but not overly so. Dad & I agreed it's some of the best lamb we've had! Dinner also included a nice salad (forgot to take a pic) with a choice of 3 dressings: blue cheese, thousand island or oil & vinegar. We both went with blue cheese and it was very tasty. Nice and thick, definitely not from a jar. The rolls were fresh baked and served with Cabot butter, which is the best around. Soup of the day was spinach. Frankly I'm not a big spinach guy, but I had most of my serving. It had a nice flavor and was in what I think was a beef stock. My dad devoured his. We didn't have room for dessert, but they had several options available. We brought our leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day. Throw the lamb and orzo in some Corningware in a 350F oven until it's warmed through, and it's almost as good as the first night. There is also a really cool bar that'll take you back in time to what the "real Adirondacks" used to feel like. Beautiful wood bar, knotty pine paneling, and a booze selection that's more than adequate but not overwhelming. We arrived by boat and docking was a breeze. They had a staff member come out and be kindly assisted with tying up. If you're an inexperienced boater, be mindful of the navigation buoys (as you should already be on this large lake). I'd suggest making a reservation, and arriving early to enjoy a drink on their deck overlooking the lake. They've got nice grounds to walk around too. The owner Dave takes great pride in his family business. We are grateful to have such an amazing place to make new family memories - while enjoying great food amidst true Adirondack ambiance and hospitality. If you're staying in lake George village or Bolton landing, take the easy and scenic drive up Route 9N - it's well worth the visit. We can't wait to go back!

The lounge serves incredible drinks, and offers live music that is incredible! From international musicians to local artists... it is a treat to be able to listen to this music.. they also offer paint and sip, many activities on the property including free access for guests to canoes, kayaks, and rowboats... for a day adventure on the lake and to the islands... the rooms are authentic to the time period in which they were built... while constant upgrades are happening on the property. Many families return year after year... some have been coming for 35 years or more... as well as new guests arrive to enjoy the beauty and majestic views here.. that only this property has. The experience is worth the price to stay here... even though the price to stay here is accommodating for all people... no matter their pay bracket or social class. Truly a warm and welcoming space where are all welcome and invited... and feel at home... in the Adirondacks! Many other places to stay up here do not care about you, or who you are, or do not even try to get to know you.. the owner is very personable, friendly, kind, and understanding... they also do their own fourth of July fireworks which makes the stay even more magical and wonderful! The history of the resort is amazing and so are the grounds / gardens. This place is a treasure, and a gem from history to today!

My boyfriend and I knew we wanted to go skiing at Gore but were not sure where to stay and boy and I glad that we chose Gore Mountain Lodge. We pulled up and went to the office to check in, and unfortunately there was a miscommunication and our room was never actually booked- but no fear! They accommodated us anyway, just told us it would be a little bit before the room was clean and ready, and that was fine by us. We walked right over to Beck's for a quick bite and drink and that was AMAZING!- but go over there for that review. The rooms are clean, there's nice little notes written for you with tips and info, there's plenty of brochures for local dining and travel sites, a trail map for gore mountain, a tv, WiFi, comfortable beds, towels, PLENTY of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, (super nice touch) and complimentary Swedish fish and sparkling water! There's even a Keurig, K-Cups, and mugs for your use to get you up and at 'em so you can be the first one at the mountain in the morning. Speaking of- it's not even a mile away from the gore mountain entrance- another huge plus. We knew within seconds that we wanted to write a good review for this place- and we don't write reviews often. There's communal yurts to hang out in- which we unfortunately never checked out but loved that we had the option. And they even have equipment and tools for ski racing! You can tell that they take care of the place and also take skiing seriously! It felt like staying at a relative's house but without any of the annoying check ins. With all of that said, I would highly recommend if you're considering a place near Gore Mountain. Kudos to the owners! We'll be back.
