The lake area is in a shallow cove and my kids were literally able to run out for a few minutes and still be up to their knees. There are plenty of kayaks and paddle boats to take out, and a small sandy beach area for the kids to play. There's also a pool on the property, but the lake area was great so we never even went. Rooms are a little older, but they are clean and spacious. The property is pretty small, so everything is an easy walk. There's also plenty of parking onsite. The location is also prime in Bolton and it's just a two minute drive up to all the shops and restaurants. The owners were super sweet and friendly and helped us out a few times when we were locked out of our room. Overall, this is a really nice family run hotel in Bolton and the location on the lake can't be beat. There are definitely cosmetic upgrades that could be made, but like many other hotels in the area it's a little old school. Looking forward to coming back - we had a great time here.

Fantastic resort on the shore of Lake George, NY. Friendly, helpful, highly professional staff, in…read morea classic Adirondacks Alpine-styled resort, with breakfast and dinner inclusive, as well as innumerable water activities, including sailing, pontoon boat rides to an from a private island with a smaller private beach. The foods is terrific and the rooms are spacious and clean, and includes a sizable semi-private balcony. The room we had was spacious, comfortable and clean as a whistle. One minor complaint: the shower head was about 8 inches lower than it should have been. It was at the height of my chin and I'm not tall. It was just too low. It's a shame since the tile in the shower seemed new and suggested it was recently redone, but not perfectly. Maybe the installer was vertically challenged (e.g. short). Our food servers, Kenzie and Stacey, and the boat guys, were absolutely delightful, and it's clear that management treats their employees well, but run a "tight ship" which ensures quality. They have pontoon boats that offer a tour of the nearby shoreline which was good, but it was the only activity we were able to take advantage of, due to the gray skies and cool weather (in the 60's and low 70's). On Thursday night, they have a barbeque on "the Island"in the middle of the lake, but it was done in the dining room instead, so we didn't even get to see the island, which was a huge disappointment. Unfortunately, we booked for three nights and had three days of gray skies, as to he remnants of the recent hurricane moved past, but we made the best of it and enjoyed our visit. Hopefully, if we visit again, we will have better luck with the weather. Most guests were repeat visitors, with the comments typically "We've been coming for 17 years," or 14 years, or something similar. As newcomers, we were welcomed, and I recommend the resort, but strongly recommend you stay a full week, and it's really more of a family resort than anything, so bring a good large family with you to have the best time.

Our first time here. We've stayed at other places in LG, but this was by far the best. Convenient,…read morecomfortable, quiet and with two restaurants on site, we had all of our needs met. We attend the yearly Tiki event across the road, and this was a 5-minute walk for us. The Tiki is ok, but very loud when the event is going on which makes it difficult to sleep until things end around 1am. Most of the workers at the Holiday Inn were friendly and helpful. Only one seemed to be sleepwalking at the front desk and never did send extra coffee pods to our room when we asked. So, I ended up walking down to the lobby to get coffee each morning (which honestly tasted way better anyway). We've already made our reservations here for next year.

We have been coming every winter for the past six years and have made some terrific memories here…read more There is so much I genuinely like about this place. The location is convenient and feels like part of our ritual now. The staff are almost uniformly kind and welcoming to our kids and us. They remember us, greet us cheerfully and make this feel like a home base. The outdoor hot tub was a particularly welcome amenity on this past brutally cold weekend and it helped us warm up a chill that seemed to go straight to our bones after time outside on the lake. It really is one of those few places that feels like a welcome retreat no matter the weather. If there weren't any flaws, this would be a much easier review to write. But there are flaws, and they are things that should have been tended to long ago. The rooms have definitely seen better days. Many of our dresser drawers barely opened. The refrigerator was hardly cool. Furniture had visible damage and some of the electrical outlets were non-functional or battered to the points that plugs fell right out f them. These are not deal breaking in isolation but taken together they left us feeling that the room was tired and poorly maintained. A little thoughtful maintenance or investment here could go a long way and make the rooms feel a lot more comfortable. Another disappointment this year was the breakfast buffet at TRs Restaurant. In years past it was a highlight and something our kids looked forward to to prepare for a cold morning out. This visit, the quality seemed to have declined and the selection felt smaller. The restaurant itself still has a lovely lake view and a cozy fireplace, and the service was still friendly and attentive, but the breakfast spread did not live up to our memories. So I find myself landing on a three star rating. If you take this place for what it can still be, it is a wonderful family resort with great staff and some truly nice amenities. But right now the condition of the rooms and some of the public areas combined with the breakfast experience hold it back from being the much stronger destination I know it can be. Here is hoping that ownership puts some money back into the property so it can recapture its full potential.

Overall, it was a nice experience and I would recommend staying here. Also there is a roof top which is very nice and has a view of the lack and mountais. You definitely need to check it out.

I spent Columbus Day weekend gazing out over the lake from a balcony that made me feel briefly like…read morean aristocrat who had misplaced his crown. The room had two king beds, a small miracle for a man accustomed to one, and the soundproofing was a triumph of human engineering. Even with Oktoberfest raging below, once the balcony door was closed the silence was so complete that I could almost hear my own thoughts apologizing for existing. The hotel sits right on Canada Street, which is the main artery of Lake George's little heart. Shepard Park is practically across the street, full of families, music, and the particular chaos of people on vacation trying to have a perfect time. The staff managed to stay cheerful through it all, smiling with the kind of sincerity that must come from good training or good souls. Parking was a game of Tetris, but I was grateful for the garage. Once my car was wedged in, I had no reason to drive again. Everything that mattered was within walking distance. The rooftop terrace deserves a poem, though I am too lazy to write one. The lake spread out below, blue and calm, and for a few minutes I believed in peace on earth. There is no hot tub, which feels like a crime against nature. The patio outside the pool almost begs for one. Imagine sitting there in January, snow falling into the water, steam rising like forgiveness. The restaurant did not thrill me, and the prices made my wallet flinch. Still, it was a fine stay, the kind that makes you feel momentarily better about the human race before the bill arrives to remind you of reality. Four stars. A lovely place, too expensive for what it is, but worth remembering all the same.

We booked our stay early in the year for June to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday…read more Unfortunately, while driving to the resort, we experienced a medical emergency and had to cancel the trip. When we called the Sagamore, I was genuinely impressed by how empathetic and accommodating the staff were on the phone. Instead of enforcing a strict cancellation policy, they allowed us to reschedule for a later date when we were ready. Many businesses would not have been so understanding, and they deserve full credit for their excellent customer service. We eventually rescheduled during peak season. While that wasn't ideal because it cost nearly twice as much as our original June booking, we viewed staying at a resort like the Sagamore as a once-in-a-lifetime experience and decided it would be worth it. Check-in was smooth and efficient. We received a map of the property and information about resort activities and amenities. Our villa was farther from the main resort than we would have preferred, but the walk was scenic and enjoyable. We stayed in a Hermitage Suite, and I wish I had paid closer attention to the layout before booking. There is only one bathroom, which is located upstairs and accessible through the master bedroom. Having no half-bath on the main floor, especially where the secondary sleeping area is located, is a poor design choice. Additionally, if our son slept on the pull-out sofa, it completely blocked access to the patio, where we had hoped to relax in the evenings after he went to sleep. Since there was plenty of space in the master bedroom, we asked whether cots were available, but they were not. We ended up creating a makeshift bed upstairs using couch cushions. It wasn't ideal, but it allowed us to enjoy our evenings without being confined to the bedroom for the entire week. Our biggest disappointment, however, was the lack of soundproofing. The walls were so thin that it felt as though the units were separated by curtains. We could hear everything from neighboring rooms: conversations, children yelling, people running up and down stairs, alarm clocks, televisions left on all night, and more. For a property positioned as a luxury resort, this was extremely disappointing. There were also several smaller issues throughout our stay. The toilet paper holder constantly dropped the roll, the thermostat repeatedly reset itself to 75°F, the Wi-Fi was unreliable, and the TV frequently lost signal. We only contacted staff regarding the Wi-Fi because I needed to handle an urgent work matter and about the TV because our son wakes up very early, and we hoped to let him watch a show while we caught up on sleep. The resort grounds themselves were pleasant, though not exceptional. We enjoyed spending time at the lake. The pool, however, appeared cloudy on our first visit and could benefit from additional maintenance. We appreciated the complimentary rides on the Morgan ferry and wish we had taken advantage of all three tour options to experience more of the lake. The recreation center was also a nice feature for families with children, although some of the equipment and facilities could use repairs and upkeep. I want to remain fair because the resort was so accommodating when we needed to reschedule. However, based on our experience, this did not feel like a true luxury property. Service throughout the restaurants was disappointing, with staff often appearing disengaged or uninterested. What stood out most was that during our stay, we greeted dozens of employees while walking around the property and received only one response. At a luxury resort, that level of indifference is surprising. The resort hosted several large events during our visit, which appeared to be weddings. While it's easy to understand why the property is an attractive event venue, it often felt as though those events were the primary focus rather than the resort guests. Ultimately, this was the most expensive family vacation we have ever taken, and we left feeling exhausted and frustrated rather than refreshed. One final observation: I have noticed management responses to critical reviews often focus on defending the resort rather than acknowledging guests' experiences. Whether management agrees with a review or not, people are entitled to their feelings. A more empathetic response would go much further in demonstrating a commitment to guest satisfaction. I truly wanted to love this resort, especially given how accommodating they were when we had to reschedule. Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to the expectations associated with the price point or the luxury reputation. Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention to reviews describing similar concerns, as many of the issues we encountered do not appear to be isolated incidents.

We come every year, so at this point I've had a lot of review updates…read more It's still a very positive experience across the board here. The property is an absolute dream and my kids could spend the entire day playing in the pool and in the lake. Rooms are a bit dated but are still clean and spacious, and I love that they have condo style rooms which make travel with small kids much easier. We usually eat dinner on property at least once, and Bella Vita is always a great option. Prices have (unsurprisingly) raised a lot though. A market price lobster roll is $45, so that was one and done! Complimentary ice cream every day and s'mores every night is a nice touch though. I wish that they did conferences in the off season. A conference started during the middle of our stay and there was a noticeable difference in how crowded the resort was. So that was kind of a bummer. Overall we love it here and look forward to this trip every year.

From the beginning, under the original owners, this resort became more than just a vacation spot, it became part of our family tradition. The original owners were truly remarkable people who poured their hearts into the resort, treating guests like family. Their warmth, hospitality, and understanding of what made this place special set the tone for everything we've come to love. Now under new ownership, I know there have been mixed reviews, but let's be honest, everyone starts somewhere. Chris, the new owner, listens, takes suggestions seriously, and is clearly making an effort to modernize the resort while honoring its legacy. Change is never easy, especially when emotions and memories run deep, but I see the intention behind it and truly appreciate the effort. The rooms have been revamped with clean floors and refreshed spaces, and housekeeping comes every two days, which works perfectly. And if you ever need something... just ask! The staff is accommodating and always willing to help. What keeps us/me coming back year after year? It's the community of regular guests who've become our "summer neighbors." That sense of connection and tradition is still very much alive. Chris understands how much we loved the previous owners and respects that legacy, while also bringing a new chapter to Flamingo Resort. Change takes time, but the heart of Flamingo is still beating strong. And for me that's reason enough to keep coming back.

Service: One server for our party, she was nice but a little oddly for a server she didn't know what ginger ale was and wasn't sure if they had decaf. Our food came out with a pretty big gap between plates, I was finished with mine by the time another in our party got hers. I will say they were very gracious seeing as we were a half hour late. Food: Pretty underwhelming, you could get similar or better food at your local diner. Menu is somewhat limited as well especially for sides and drinks. I got the french toast, it wasn't very moist at all, uninteresting flavor, the strawberry garnish was dried up on the inside so must have been left out for a while, bacon was fine, maple syrup was good. I had a few bites of the omelette which was good and home fries which were on the dry side and without much flavor. Value: It wasn't too expensive thankfully despite being marketed as a 'fine dining experience' I'd say value was about even with the low quality food, french toast was $11. Overall definitely would not recommend, you could get better food at a diner or cafe.
