It was my first time to Lake George, and I chose this place due to the great reviews on Tripadvisor. However, I think the people who wrote the bad reviews are exaggerating a bit, but I do understand where they are coming from. My room was a nice size cottage in the back. The room was cute and for the... More

This is our first time staying with Suzanne and George and we are TOTALLY SPOILED. The accommodations are lovely, clean and well appointed. The location is perfect, right in Lake George village, within walking distance to everything. Thank you, Suzanne and George, for a terrific weekend. Looking forward to visiting you again soon. Paul and Nancy. More

This is our 4th family vacation to Lake George but the first time we stayed with George and Suzanne. They are very, very friendly and accommodating. We stayed 4 nites in one of the cabins. We appreciated being located in the Village, a few minutes walk from the sights, the beach, restaurants, shopping, mini-golf and the arcades. We walked to... More

The Balsams offered us the total Lake George experience. Its rustic setting and spacious and spotless cabins truly keep us coming back year after year. George and Suzanne make you feel like family. I can't imagine staying anywhere else and would recommend The Balsams to anyone looking for the ideal Adirondack vacation. The Balsams is our home away from home. More

We have been coming to the Balsam for the past 5 years and we love it. George and Suzanne are wonderful hosts who can't do enough for you. Convenient to all sights in the Lake George area. Pricing is reasonable, rooms are comfortable, easy access to the beach. It is also very pet friendly. More

I read some of the reviews before posting, definitely it's what you have in mind when you book a motel room/cottage. We rented a pet friendly cottage this week-end for our son's birthday and we did not expect a 5* hotel - the cottage was clean and nice, close to the lake and walking distance to everything Lake George's town...

Our first visit to the Balsam was purely by chance. The wife surprised me with a trip to Lake George. She picked the Balsam from a list of motels. Since that time approx 8 yrs ago, our return stays are "purely by choice". The rooms are clean, comfortable, well equipped, and reasonable. We now visit 3 to 4 times a... More
