    I worked at Burlap and Beams as a photographer and what a wonderful venue. Such a beautiful…read moreceremony location with mountains in the background, so many little areas for photos, curated spots with gardens, wagons, vines, water, fields... it's endless. Each building had its own personality and beautiful features. I would love to work at this venue again.

    My husband and I just recently got married at Burlap and Beams on 10/6/2018. This was the only…read morevenue we looked at it well over a year ago and I knew instantly it was perfect. The combination of an exquisite background of the lower Adirondacks, stunning renovated barns, and an owner who puts so much care and love into her property made booking Burlap and Beams a no-brainer. All of my questions over the past year were promptly answered by Terri, not only with information but with a personalized genuineness that made me feel like I wasn't just "another bride." Over the course of the year, many upgrades were made to the already beautiful barns such as a brand new bar, upgraded chandeliers and lights, and more gorgeous plants and flowers than you can imagine (all planted and maintained by Terri.) The day of our wedding was pure magic. The property was so gorgeous under the overcast, fall day. The fog over the mountains behind where we were married, combined with the foliage of the mountains, was epic and surreal. Terri switched out some beautiful hydrangea garlands over the cocktail hour space because she wanted fresh flowers for the day. (I'll note that every time I have been to the barns she is out and about getting her hands dirty with planting and decorating.) The space is interactive multiple buildings. It is the perfect size, too. It didn't feel too big for a smaller wedding of 80, such as ours. It is also large enough to hold many more people, without it feeling too cramped. The main barn is literally done for you; you don't have to do a THING. The lights, garlands over the brand new bar and on the walls, and new lighting create this amazing atmosphere. While she used to have a huge mason jar chandelier, she upgraded this past season to these gorgeous wrought iron chandeliers. With that said, even though this venue is a barn and it's name may have the word "burlap" in in, it is by no means your run of the mill generic "rustic barn" style venue. Terri most definitely knows how to update the barn as the seasons change and different wedding decor goes in and out of style (as well as maintain the staples that remain season after season.) Burlap and Beams also has a barn that is filled with decorations. We used wood slabs for our centerpieces, chalkboard easels, and a number of other decorative pieces that were all there for us to use. In addition to the barns, the property extends to a flowing brook surrounded by trees. There are hanging lights scattered throughout the trees, as well. This made for an EPIC photo location, it was so gorgeous. I am so happy we found Burlap and Beams. Terri is wonderful and an amazing owner of this gorgeous property. The value is excellent and if you are someone who visions a more DIY-style wedding where you can opt for something other than a pre-packaged plan, Burlap and Beams is for you.

    We stayed here for a conference in October. The hotel itself is very nice, there is a parking…read moregarage in the back which is convenient. The staff was friendly as well. We stayed in a room with 2 queen beds, it was very spacious and clean. There was only two draws to put our clothes so we each only got one. The shower was big, but the water pressure wasn't great. 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.

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.

    I've been visiting Lake George for years and can honestly say Surfside at the Lake was the worst…read morehotel experience I've had there. I went for a family vacation with my wife and our 7-month-old baby. The first day seemed fine, but once nighttime came, things went downhill quickly. Every time someone in the building flushed a toilet or turned on a shower, we heard loud, aggressive banging noises coming from the walls. These bangs were so forceful that the headboards on our beds actually shook. The noise continued late into the night, keeping our baby awake until about 3 a.m. when other guests finally went to bed. The next morning at 8 a.m. I went to the front desk to request a room change. I was told nothing could be done until a manager arrived at 10 a.m. When I returned at 10, I was told it would actually be 12. By that point I had reservations for a steamboat ride and couldn't wait around. When I got back later in the evening, around 6 p.m., the manager finally offered to move us, but by then it would have been a major hassle to pack and move all of my baby's belongings with an early departure the next morning. After leaving, I reached out by email hoping for some kind of resolution or at least acknowledgment. Instead, I was told that "no one else complained about banging pipes," which essentially dismissed my concerns. To imply that a guest's issue is only valid if multiple people complain is incredibly unprofessional. Overall, Surfside at the Lake failed to provide a restful stay, offered very little support in the moment, and showed poor customer service afterward. For anyone considering a stay, I would strongly encourage looking elsewhere in Lake George -- there are many hotels in the area that value their guests' comfort and take responsibility when problems arise.

I could literally hear the conversation in the next room, not to mention the bass in the rooms by the lake. When I asked for my room to be moved I could for a fee!!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL WE STAY HERE!!

However, we didn't want a courthouse vow exchange, but an actual spiritual ceremony. We had no witnesses, so Joy kindly provided her two friends, and even married us in her own home! A tiny intimate ceremony, just us, Joy, and her two friends. Also it was opening day at the races, and Joy agreed to squeeze the ceremony in in the AM. She was SO accommodating, thoughtful, and warm. My memories of that day are wonderful. The reason I'm reviewing her now...9 years later...is that we've started considering options for vow renewal for our 10yr anniversary. And, one thought was...'I wonder if Joy is still in the marrying business? Wouldn't it be special to travel to Saratoga and renew our vows with her?' Ha! We'll see! Oh, and I should mention, we gave the middle name 'Joy' to our third daughter.
