Chelka Lodge

Excellent resort ! Owners are friendly and great people. Quiet and peaceful. We will be back next year !

Great location. Rooms and accommodations are up to date and better than expected. Property is well kept. Lots of free recreation activities on property. Hosts a very nice people. Rates a reasonable. Its just far enough away from the crowds to be peaceful, yet close enough to get to everything you'd want within minutes.

I have been coming to Lake George with my extended family for my entire life for a week every summer. We stay at 3-4 different places each year, so I have gotten to sample many different places to stay on Lake George, and Chelka is literally always the best. The place is relatively small (around 15 rooms all together), you can have a more basic Queen or king motel room that has a stunning lake view, extremely comfortable beds (this is big with me) and is plenty big enough. There is a newer tv with plenty of stations as well as AC and a fridge, and is kept up well. There are also 3 efficiency suits literally right on the lake, with a kitchenette and everything is quite new and lovely. Finally there is a guest house with an upstairs and downstairs which is perfect if you have more people in your group…..I have stayed in literally every room in the place over the years, and you can’t go wrong with any option. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the Queen/king lake view units, which are usually the way we go….. Literally nothing beats the swimming area right in front of the property - leave your room, jump right in, beautiful water, perfect sand, it gets no better, especially on a hot day…. They have lots of amenities, canoes, rafts, rowboats, basketball court, ping pong, but again, literally nothing beats the lake access. Judy and Dave are the owners and have had it for more than 20 years. They know exactly what they are doing and are happy to lend advice for any of the many different options around the Lake, in Bolton Landing, or anywhere else nearby. They also have their 2 Labradors who roam the property, play in the water and are as sweet as can be. My wife and I are big time dog lovers. I have seen some people complaining about having 2 dogs around. If for some bizarre reason you don’t like dogs…..well then I don’t want to know you….. Again, I have been coming to Lake George for literally 40 years, trust me, This is the very best place to stay.

So at first glance the place is gorgeous it's on the lake the grounds are beautiful. My friend found it online and having not been there before we just thought it was gorgeous. What was very disappointing is the room it was absolutely disgusting. Not wanting to hurt my friend's feelings because she did a lot of research trying to find a place where we could each get our own separate room. So I never really complained to her that much but I really did talk to the owners before leaving it looks like the bathroom toilet had not been cleaned in years especially around the base and they were spots all over the floors no covers on the bed upon moving out when I finally opened the closet door fully there was food on the floor stuck between the doors again I would love to stay at this place but I would definitely ask to see the room first

It was the perfect place to take my family! It is located in between two towns, so it was easy to get anything you needed. The rooms were very clean! The views were breath taking! And the owners treated you like family! And the their dogs were so nice and welcomed you every morning! We will definitely be going back!
