The Lodges at Cresthaven

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.

Stop it. Just Stop It. This is my dream place, dream wedding venue, when I stay here it is like a dream. Every time I leave I just want to plan the next time I can go back. YES it is pricey, but I do think it is worth it if you can comfortably afford it.
I am transported to what feels like some foreign area when i come here. These lodges are so beautiful, and always serve as a home kind of feeling where the family has a great time. The lodges are so darn cozy, and always clean! I love having a kitchen so we can cook our own food on the nights we do not want to go out. Our room the last time we went had two terraces that overlooked a moving creak, which was so beautifully, and the sound of the water put me to sleep every night.
The views from the property edge is unlike anything I have ever seen. I dream of that view all the time. The view from the pool is so fantastic. On the property you have the indoor/​outdoor pool (one in the same), small gym, game room, private beach, and famous boathouse restaurant. I still have yet to eat at that restaurant. I know weddings there are rather expensive.
But i just love this place. If you spend the day on the beach and pool waiters walk around taking food and drink orders for you. There is also FREE kayaking and canoeing which for me is a major plus. That stuff can get expensive, and here you just take it for free, and use it as long as you want. That was a pretty nicer perk.
This place is also so close to main strip. I lvoed how I can lay at the pool in paradise, then at night leave and go to the busier section of Lake George… omg When can i go back? Seriously WHEN!

Stayed here with my family and LOVED it. It was a beautiful resort and the grounds were amazing. The Log Cabin was spotless. My kids LOVED it. My advice is stay away from downtown Lake George it was a bit «trashy» instead make a right turn out of the Lodge and go to Bolton’s Landing just a few miles down the road it is the cutest little village. I loved this vacation and would totally recommend it to families with young and older kids.

I’m already thinking of coming back and planning a family trip. First thing I noticed right away was the location. The entire property has lake access which is a real bonus if you want to experience the Adirondacks. Second was the finishes. It looks and feels like a real log cabin only better because it has all the modern day conveniences like Wi-​Fi, flat screen TV, whirlpool tub, & granite surfaces. The deck is spacious. The furnishings are very comfortable. If you’re looking for a cabin feel that doesn’t leave you stranded in the woods, this is it.

Well, it is very nice place. But Check-​out was 10:00 am which we thought was a bit early. You’re also asked to bring your garbage to the dumpster and start a load towels in the washing machine before you leave. No beach towels… We felt that was a bit much. Isn’t that what you’re paying for when on vacation for someone else to do the housekeeping once you leave?

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.
