Excellent place to stay for the holiday. Nice view, quite, and everything in the lodge is actually working! (Except a broken door handle) The lodge has most of the items needed for the stay. You can do your laundry, cook, jacuzzi etc. Rooms are big enough for quite many people. Although, I believe only 6 max is allowed. Staff are also very nice. The Boathouse Restaurant is at the bottom of the hill if you don't want to cook. For those who wants to show off their culinary skills, you can shop for groceries at Price Chopper. I went to the one North-West of Cresthaven instead of the one in the town. About 10 minutes drive with larger parking lot. Didn't try out the pool but looks pretty fun. read more

First I'm adding my update after 3 days. I changed the number of stars, increasing them as Cresthaven seduced me. It's certain we got off to a bumpy start but I'm certain it's their preparations for winter and I just got caught in an anomaly of scheduling. The property is immaculate. Landscaping lovely. Placement of the cabins, lodges and other buildings, well thought out. Little things, small details like attached grill brushes for every grill, well placed seating and communal dining areas shows an attentiveness to guests that I appreciate. The Boathouse restaurant made us perfect steaks. I love a good steak! After my rough start, management was accommodating and made sure we were happy with the rest of the trip. if you're planning on off season, know the town closes down with just a couple of exceptions and that the resorts will be doing maintenance before the long winter sets in. If you're prepared for that you will be delighted at Cresthaven. Now. Here's the initial 1 star review just so you can see where I started and how far I came around to their hospitality. I'm grieving the loss of my husband, a 9/11 first responder . I came for quiet and to paint. Today, on my first morning, beginning before 8 am. The drilling began. Then, 3 workmen in arrive to work in the unit next to mine, hammering away. And just now huge chemical fumes as I'm sitting on porch. Broom closet is in 2nd bedrooms closet - my traveling companion cannot/ will not hang her clothes next to a mop. No instructions on how to use fireplace. Which in the end did not work. No instructions on WiFi read more

Amazing place - we loved it here! Our cabin was right on the water front and we loved the fireplace in our two bedroom cabin. Plus two outdoor patios with amazing views. The interior wood was so cozy. We came in the off season so our options for things to do in the area were limited, but we were happy to enjoy the cabin. So relaxing. read more

Best vacation ever. We had so much fun and stayed at the resort the entire time. Clean, beautiful, friendly, slept great. So relaxing!!!!!! Even got engaged! I will forever remember our trip here. Obvs I wish they were pet friendly, but that was really the only downfall. Beautiful!!!! read more

I'm being VERY GENEROUS with the 4 Stars 5 Stars: I went in Oct 2018 during the off season. I stayed in the duplex. Room was immaculate! The grounds were immaculate! Perfect month for their outdoor fireplace. Rained one day, it was nice to stay in and cook & have the gas fireplace on. Went to the Boathouse restaurant right on the grounds. Was great! Better than expected based off of the "just average " reviews. 1 Star: Now, the negative. The suite above us, was loud! Not because of the (older) people. Because of poor insulation. I heard the beeping of their microwave. The water pipes in the morning were rattling so bad, like someone was bagging on the door. Again, the place was not packed at all. I would NEVER stay in the duplex again. If I decide to return, I would get the separate individual cabins that are NOT attached. Hence the GENEROUS 4 star rating read more

Whether you own or rent this is a place to come back to and make memories. Cresthaven has been the site of our annual family reunion for 9 years. We fly in from California and meet up with the NY relatives. The kids can run around the property on their own. The Vogel family has done a good job of maintaining and improving the property, The pool is a wonderful option to the lake. The docks can get crowded and it's important to reserve a slip. The staff is young and friendly. There are several golf carts available if you need a lift to your cabin. The cabins' woodsy decor is part of the fun. When my daughter forgot her e-reader housekeeping saved it and called us right away. The Boathouse restaurant is on the property but can get pricey if you rely on it for all your meals. The cabins' kitchens are well equipped but you need to plan ahead for grocery shopping to avoid a last minute trip to Bolton Landing or Lake George. It's best to shop in Glens Falls. read more
