The Lake Motel - Lakefront Property with Two-Level Observation Deck, Heated Pool, and Free Water Sports Equipment

Located directly on Lake George's waterfront, this Lake George hotel features a distinctive two-level observation deck extending 50 feet over the water. The Lake Motel's 41 rooms spread across three buildings, each equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, and 32-inch LG flat-screen TVs offering 80+ HD channels. A lakefront heated pool adjoins a stone fireplace with post-and-beam pergola on the pool deck. Guests access complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and a 5-person inflatable raft from the private dock, which includes a designated swimming area. The property provides free WiFi, BBQ facilities with commercial-grade stainless steel grills, and daily summer activities including sundae-making and s'mores nights. The Lake Motel stands within walking distance to Canada Street's restaurants, shops, and attractions. Fort William Henry Museum and Adirondack Winery lie within 0.5 miles.

“The Lake Motel stands out for its unpretentious charm and surprisingly generous amenities right on Lake George; I was particularly impressed by the two-level observation deck and the complimentary kayaks. It's the kind of place where you can walk to everything, then come back and relax by the fire pit. The family-friendly vibe and attention to detail make it an easy choice, blending convenience with genuine hospitality.”
