Kathys Resort — Hotel in Town of Lake George

The property is beautiful and inviting and when you pull up you get excited that you are going to have a unique stay out in the wilderness. ||||That is the last positive thing about this place. You enter into the reception and instantly realize this place is old and dated. The owner comes out with her negative attitude and you know now you are going to spend four days under her rule and control. She has you sign documents in essence to control your every move on the property, checking in guests, cars, rules by the pool and other nonsense mood killing documents . ||||First, we had two small dogs who were not allowed to stay. There is a sign that is in rainbow colors along with 20 other signs telling you how to behave. No you are not at boarding school this is vacation. I drive them home and return 12 hours later to rejoin my family. We should have asked but the outdoor nature of the property I cannot see why her dogs are allowed and my dogs will be a bother. ||||I enter into my room and notice that all the furniture, fixtures and appliances are from 1975. Signs by the light switches telling you to conserve energy, signs for towels, no smoking, where laundry goes and what to flush down the toilet. The AC unit doesn't stay on either as it set to automatically turn off constantly. ||||The decor is the same materials used in all of the worst motels in the north east united states. You know the mattress, blanket and couch in the room as you recognize them from pulp fiction and the other time you ended up stuck and having to sleep in a cheap crackhead motel. The only thing good is the place is clean. Worn out and dated but clean. She thinks that this is her golden touch to the place that makes it special. Unfortunately it is no where near enough for you to use the blanket or comforter. ||||Towels are only replaced MWF and the rest of the week you must maintain your towel. I couldn't do it as after I showered I wanted to change my clothing on the towel and my bare feet not to touch the carpet that was 50 years old. Go here if you want the best motel...

My wife booked the place with the old owner back in the beginning of the year. When we arrived we didn't know what to expect, however we knew that this was not going to be a typical hotel class visit. Everything is by request, as if it's your own home. If you wanted house keeping done, or needed new towels or toilet paper; you needed to ask for it, and yes you need to do your own dishes and take out your own garbage. The place has the feel of living up in the mountains with a few creature comforts of home, such as AC, cable TV and a small kitchen. For our needs the place was perfect. My only real issue was the size of the shower, if you're tall, and thankfully I'm not it would be hard to shower in the place. its really the way the cabin is built.|| One great thing is that the place was super clean, sure some of the furniture was outdated, but it was super clean and everything worked. We had one issue with bee's in one of the upstairs bedrooms but management took care of it right away. || As mentioned in other reviews the place does have new owners. Maggie and her husband and the rest of the staff were excellent. I felt like I just moved into a new neighborhood and they were the new neighbors that greeted you with open arms. My daughter every morning would go over to the office to get fresh towels and Maggie would let her play with their dogs. It made her day as my daughter was missing our dogs back at home. Like I said they just bought the place but they have big plans to make the place better and upgrade the property. We stayed in cabin D which was perfect for what me needed on our trip to Lake George. We plan on returning in the future. Its the perfect place where you have the peace and quite of the mountains, but are less than a mile from the life of Lake George village and all the surrounding...
