Lodge at Schroon Lake

Great activities offered (movie night, kayaking, tye-dye for kids), property so peaceful and beautiful. Kids loved s'mores every night by the fires. The food at the restaurant was very tasty, staff everywhere extremely helpful.

We stayed at the lodge last week and overall had a nice family getaway. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable, though the pool area could use some sprucing up—there were crackers on the floor during our whole stay, cups left on ledges, and some cobwebs that weren’t cleaned. The hot tub could have been a little warmer, but it was still relaxing. A unique feature is that each restroom has a sauna, though I wish it wasn’t inside the bathrooms so families could enjoy it together. The kids loved all the on-site activities—mini golf, volleyball, soccer, and the gaga pit kept them busy and entertained without us having to leave the property. The fire pit at night was another highlight, especially with the complimentary s’mores kits, which was such a thoughtful touch. The game room was probably the biggest hit—it’s open 24/7 and gave us a lot of fun family bonding time. The gym was also better equipped than many hotel gyms we’ve seen, which was a nice surprise. Lake access is across the busy main road and a bit of a hike, it’s nice but needs a sprucing… toys, chairs and other random things just thrown about. We stayed in the main lodge. The room itself felt like a standard hotel room with a bit of a rustic log-cabin vibe. It could definitely use some updates and more lighting, but it was comfortable enough. Housekeeping refreshed towels and emptied garbage during our stay, which we appreciated, though we did find an Invisalign under the bed left from a previous guest. The biggest disappointment was the on-site restaurant—the food was bland, overpriced, and not something we’d choose again. On the other hand, the warm chocolate chip cookies at check-in were absolutely delicious (we would have happily eaten a dozen more!). As a general manager of a hotel and restaurant myself, I know I can be particular when evaluating a property. While this lodge doesn’t score a perfect 100, it still offered a genuinely good experience overall. The staff were helpful, the amenities made it easy to stay on-site, and our family had a fun, memorable stay. We would likely return for another visit but would choose To have a cabin or château over the main lodge.

We have stayed here a few times now and look forward to coming back again next year. A lot of things for the kids to do during down time.

I can't wait to return. It is a perfect Adirondack vacation/getaway. Everything you need is right on the premises. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating throughout the property. There are two different restaurant bars on the premises, as well as outdoor seating with a large fire pit. There was a fun band in the outdoor area. The rooms are large and immaculate with lots of pretty details, with the lights, artwork, and quality of the wood cabinets. We had an absolute blast hanging out with good friends.

We had a fantastic, spontaneous 3 night stay at The Lodge at Schroon Lake. Be sure to dine outside at The Brown Swan. Book a boat ride with Captain Stan; reserve tour at front desk. Various lodging options. Many fun activities for all ages. Love the fire pits. Friendly and hospitable service from all staff. Will definitely return!!

We had a nice few days away as a family! Lots of things to do, and we could walk a lot. The pool heater was broken, which made swimming on rainy days unbearable due to the freezing water. We went to the beach on Thursday afternoon, but it ended up being closed for a private photoshoot on the nicest day of our stay. They did not inform us at check-in; instead, it was an email sent the night before.
