The Lake Motel

Situated directly on the shores of Lake George, this family-oriented motel provides a heated outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a private swim area with a floating dock, and a two-level observation deck extending over the water. Guest rooms include a 32-inch flat-screen TV, microwave, refrigerator, work desk, and a remodeled private bathroom with hairdryer and free toiletries. Select rooms offer lake views or private balconies. The Lake Motel operates seasonal nightly activities from June 19 to September 6-such as make-your-own sundaes, root beer floats, candle making, and s'mores-as well as weekend nights during other months. Kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatable rafts are available at a nominal fee of $10 per hour (though several guest reviews state they are free). Barbecue facilities, a flat-top grill, picnic area, and a massive stone fireplace are available on the water. The property also provides free WiFi, free on-site parking (limited to one vehicle per room), and a vending machine. The village center, Shepard Park Beach, Fort William Henry, and multiple local shops and restaurants are within a 4-minute walk. Fishing poles are offered for use from the dock, and private boat tours can be arranged at a discounted rate for guests.
