One of my favorite places to visit is Lake George in NY. My family used to go frequently when I was younger and this year I got to take my son for a short vacation. This year we stayed at O'Connor's Cottages. It was the first time that we stayed at this particular spot but it was very nice! The cabins were clean and cozy. The cabin that we stayed in had two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room and small kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator and microwave. The property was kept in very good shape. There were a lot of activities right on the property such as bocce ball, mini golf, kayaking, paddleboats, rowboats, a playground and a small beach with a floating dock. The resort did not charge rental fees for any of the boats which was really awesome. Certain nights of the week the resort had a fire in their fire pit down by the beach where you could toast marshmallows.
When we went out on the rowboat we caught a lot of fish!
Every day we saw ducks walking around the beach.
This is the view from our cabin. Our cabin was up a hill a little from the lake but they do have cabins closer to the lake. Our view was still beautiful and the walk down to the lake wasn't a bad walk at all.
This is the front view of our cabin. The cabin has a picnic table with umbrella on the porch and a small gas grill. There were also charcoal grills down near the beach area.
The view is really gorgeous and we spent a lot of time at the resort because there were so many things to do right at the resort!
There are also tons of things to do outside of the resort area. Some of my favorites are;
Horseback riding/pony rides at Saddle Up Stables (this link will take you to the visitlakegeorge.com website which has the address and phone number for the stables).
Downtown Lake George area also had a lot to do; arcades, a House of Frankenstein wax museum (This is one of my personal favorites but I would not recommend it for small children), shopping, Lake George Steamboat Company and Fort William Henry Museum.
In the opposite direction is Bolton's Landing which has more shopping including a grocery store (we chose to bring our food in coolers because it was more cost effective). We also got our fishing licenses from the hardware store in Bolton's Landing.
A few of my other favorite places to go are Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, Gore Mountain, and Ausable Chasm. Ausable Chasm is approximately an hour from O'Connors Cottages but it is a really great place to visit and they have rafting, rock climbing and hiking just to name a few activities.
