THIS PLACE WAS PERFECT. I just planned my best friend's bachelor party and feel extremely fortunate to have found this lodge. As the seven of us got out of our cars and approached the lodge, the bachelor asked me "Are you sure this is the place?" worried that we were approaching the wrong place and were going to barge into someone's beautiful home. It's that nice! The home is huge, gorgeous, and filled with great amenities. The owner and caretakers couldn't have been kinder. We went just down the street to Adirondack Extreme Adventure course, and 15 minutes in the other direction to check out Lake George. It was a perfect weekend, and a few of us are already planning on coming back with other groups.

This property is incredible! It is immaculately well maintained, spacious and warm. The listing and the photos dont do justice as to how great this lodge actually is! Myself and a group of friends stayed here for a weekend in November and have never had such a good time! Their book collection is very extensive and we were surprised at the number of amenities the owners provided. The owners are extremely communicative and have one an excellent job in making this vacation property a place you will want stay over and over again! This property is suitable to every age group.

Crystal Lake Lodge

The lodge providing us a wonderful place to spend a week with my family . Everyone loved the access to Crystal Lake and the majestic views the lodge layout provided. Everyone mentioned how the lodge was exactly what they pictured it would be, a home away from home that provided a much needed retreat from the bustling downtown Lake George Village. The children couldn’t wait to use the art room as soon as they were done with breakfast every morning, it was wonderful to be able to watch them create and play together through the kitchen window that looks into the sun room. As for me, getting up in the morning to head down to the boat launch and cast a line off the dock for some fish and good conversation with my family was worth every minute. We even managed to take and enjoy a full three-course dinner down on the lower deck overlooking the Lake. It was just perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home, thanks so much. Paul, Marie, & the Family

Beth, words are hard to find to express how much all of our families (11 adults) enjoy the week-end at your lodge. As you may know it was the Canadian Thanksgiving and the oven had the honor of cooking a nice turkey that was devoured by all on the Saturday night dinner. In fact we enjoyed so much our gettogether that we are contemplating the idea of making it a ritual to meet at your lodge every October for the next years, providing it is available. We can't talk enough of the breathtaking surrounding the lodge is located in as well as the tremendous numbers of various birds' species we could find, as we know you are very aware of. Even if the temperature was on the cool side we still had a ball and tons of memories to share. Again thank you so much for letting people share this great place you have and we will go back.

Splendid house, marvelous ambience, lovely Adirondack setting -- I brought together my New York and California families there for week of July 11-18. The spacious and well appointed bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, the decks, lawns, private beach, the still lake, and especially the Great room where we all gathered in the evenings with much room to spare -- made it our most memorable annual summer vacation of the past five years. Best of the class of the houses I've rented on the Cape, Lake George and the California coast. We'll definitely be back.

We stayed 5/29-5/31 2009 at the house for a weekend. We were celebrating a 30th birthday with friends and family. We had a wonderful weekend. There were tons of activities to do for everyone. We enjoyed fishing, and the relaxing water front deck. The lake views were amazing from every room in the house. Our family and friends loved this place, and it will always be a memorable birthday celebration.

April 13-15, 2009My husband and I brought our H.S. Senior (son) and a few of his friends to the Adirondack area for a pre-graduation gift and enjoyed three sunny, beautiful days as the boys went fishing, boating, played Frisbee, as well as whitewater rafting on the second day. The lodge was absolutely beautiful and was equipped with everything you could need. We sat on the deck outside the kitchen and watched the “teens” play football in one of the fields as they enjoyed being “boys” before the challenges of college and career choices are made. We used the “sun room” off the kitchen as a “theatre” as we brought a home projector and the boys watched some favorite movies. Both Beth and Kevin were so helpful and worked with us to get this trip together. Our next hope is to return during the Fall to experience the beautiful foliage that surrounds the Lodge and the lake.Mike and Mary, Pittstown, NJ

Twelve of us visited the Lodge in October of 2008 to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversery. The house was PERFECT - well-equipped for cooking, reading, relaxing and well-situated for hiking, boating and taking in the local sites. Crystal Lake is serenely beautiful and the views from the house are exquisite - particularly with the fall foliage in its full splendor. I look forward to another visit and would highly recommend this rental.

What a treat to enjoy Autumn in such a spectacular setting. The house is very large and roomy for large family and friend gatherings. If you are looking for tranquility, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones -- I highly recommend you book a stay here.

What a spectacular home and lovely setting! We spent a week in July at Crystal Lake Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed it (in spite of the rainy weather). The house is very spacious and comfortable and the lake is enchanting. A true delight!

Anyone who rents this property is in for a real treat. The house is beautiful; it's like a home and not like a rental property; it's so comfortable; there is so much room no one ever feels on top of anyone else; the beds are comfortable; the afghans on the sofas are so soft and cozy; and, the view down to the lake is stunningly beautiful. Also, there is plenty to do nearby, not that you ever want to leave the property. For me and my family it was quite the best!

Eleven friends from High school days just spent a week at property 142904 and what a beautiful find we found. The house was plenty big, clean and the area beautiful. If we wanted city it was just a short ways south from this location. Again I say how beautiful the place and it's surroundings were. The owners were very easy to work with. The people in the area of this house also great. Quite a find that I hope we can return to some day!!!

We stayed at Crystal Lake Lodge in May, 2008. Our first night, the sky was littered with stars. It was surreal - shooting stars, the undeniable roundness of the earth. The next day, Matt proposed to Lisa in the middle of the picturesque, private Crystal Lake. It was perfect and we will never forget that moment. Crystal Lake Lodge is truly a dream come true!

4 families shared a wonderfully relaxing Presidents Day Weekend; skiing, playing in the snow and relaxing in front of the wonderful fire. The house is situated in a beautiful location and just a short drive from Gore Mountain. A great winter hideaway!

Crystal Lake Lodge was exactly what "us slickers needed". Fantastic location (close to great little restaurants and Gore Mtn.), beautiful surroundings, an amazing fireplace and lots of space. The house was a perfect fit for 7 adults and 5 teenagers. We had a wonderful President's Day weekend. The owners are wonderful.

Our family stayed at the Crystal Lake Lodge in August 07. The grounds are private, extremely pleasant and peaceful. The house has an authentic feel and is large - appropriate for families. The lake is quiet (no motors allowed) with a private beach to relax at. Certainly recommended!

After many years of visiting the Adironacks we feel we really hit the jackpot in Crystal Lake Lodge. The property is simply "to die for".... an Adironack Great Camp in miniature. We plan on returning often and enjoying the innumerable attractions this property and its location have to offer.

This house is a beautiful getaway from the rat race in the city. The house is large and gorgeous and has room for plenty of guests to stay comfortably. It is located on a quiet lake with a private beach area and has lovely lake and mountain views. The drive from New York City is about 3 hours - just enough to fully decompress before arriving. I loved it and cannot wait to return.
