Wondering if anyone has stayed at this Resort in Lake George, New York? It is on the Conceirge Collection. Contemplating taking the kids there this summer.

Hi,

We stayed there in the fall about 4 years ago. There is the main building that is historic and then separate, villa - like rooms along the lake where we stayed. It had a kitchen, living room, balcony, separate bedroom and bathroom. The units are not as nice as dvc - the bathroom was nice - but they are rather plain. Clean, but nothing spectacular. I would like to go back in summer when everything is open. There wasn't much going on in the fall either at the resort or in town. Bolton Landing is cute - you can walk there from the resort - and then the larger town has lots of touristy things like mini golf and little water parks. The lake looks fun for swimming. The area is beautiful. We stayed 4 nights there, then drove up through Vermont to Ben and Jerry's and then to Lake Placid and stayed at Mirror Lake Inn which we LOVED.

At the time, DVC charged summer rates into October - so I absolutely don't think it is a good use of points in the fall since half the resort is not useful - but in summer I think it would be great.

Have a great time if you go!

Thanks for the info. We would be using left over points, so it would be a big deal.

You would not be disappointed at the Sagamore. Beautiful resort, wonderful views of Lake George. Nice beach area, touring boat, clean lake to swim in, lots of things to do in the village of Lake George. The Great Escape is 10 minutes down the road from the village of Lake George (six flags property). The whole area Bolton Landing/Lake George is wonderful. Lake George has lots of things to do in the summer. Prospect mountain is a nice 10 minute drive that has a picnic area with mountain top views of the lake. On a clear day you can see all the way to VT. You can't go wrong when you visit the Adirondacks!

The Sag is a wonderful option for DVC. Lake George is beautiful and there are lots of activities to enjoy in the area.

I used to work at a YMCA camp right across the lake from the Sag (45 years ago) and have many great memories of that area - growing up about 50 miles away.

Enjoy!

We didn't stay at the Sagamore but we drove over and rented Kayaks from them one day. Of Cause I made my DH drive me around. It is a beautifu; resort let me see if I can find pictures....

Go Enjoy and I recommend renting Kayaks. You travel the lake and they have a lot of small islands you can stop at so be sure to pack a lunch.

I called MS yesterday looking for availability for anytime in the summer.
Unfortunately, there was nothing available.
Good luck, it is beautiful!

I grew up on Lake George, camped on the islands, and my family still lives in the area (next town over - Queensbury) If anyone has any questions about the area I'd be happy to help.
