The Elms Waterfront Cottages

Hotel

Cabins have everything you need — including gorgeous lake views. We had so much fun tubing down the Hudson and just relaxing with friends and family. Staff is wonderful! Highly recommend!

Went over 4th of July weekend. The room was so dirty it was disgusting. No deck in front of your cabin or lake access. Would never recommend. Thank god for good company!

Great view comfortable cabins. All the comforts of home. Price of rental includes rowboat or kayaking. There is grills and fire Pitts very peaceful and quiet.

Just came back from a great week. Me and my kids had such a wonderful time. Everything was perfect!

Great place! Chandler goes above and beyond. Always a pleasure staying there. Suzette & Scott Lyons.

I wish that I could give this place more than 5 stars. My fiancé and I got married here over the weekend and chandler and the staff made our wedding weekend unforgettable. They were all so helpful and kind and made sure that anything we needed was taken care of. I would recommend giving chandler a call if you are planning a wedding. The location is gorgeous and you just can’t beat the price! Thank you chandler from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding all that we dreamed it to be!

We had an excellent stay! Chandler was very accommodating to us. The staff was good. Was an excellent weekend, even tho we didnt spend much time there.

Always a great experience! Chandler and the staff are like family. Great views, great location, we’ll definitely be back!

Great place great owners! Very accommodating, they Saved us from a 3rd party online booking nightmare this area is very relaxing, peaceful and beautiful, thanks Sarah and Walter we will definitely be coming back!

Only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because there were no bath towels in our cabin. Other than that, I highly recommend this place. Has a small beach which is dog friendly, paddle boats, kayaks you can rent for the day which are complimentary to guests, and you can walk to convenience stores and restaurants which is a plus for us! We also had our own fire pit and barbecue grill while we here. This is not a fancy place; it is rustic. Perfect lake view. We had a blast just watching the sunsets. I also recommend hiking Hadley Mountain. It is challenging, but it us well worth the hike! We are going on the 1 hour steamship cruise later on. We will return in the future. Thank you!

This by far is the best place for your vacation. It has everything kayaking, canoeing, jet skis Aquabike etc so much to do. Family friendly and pet friendly. Awesome place!

This is also my review on Yelp—why write two different reviews :) *** This was a really solid, relaxing, no frills classic cottage/camp stay. Went for 3 nights with my husband and our toddler and baby. We stayed in Cottage 1 right on the bay and had a blast. If you’re expecting luxury accommodations then this isn’t your place, but if you are used to roughing it then this is definitely a step up into glamping territory! We had a bedroom and a futon in the living/kitchen area, we all split that with the baby in the pack and play. The cottage was clean and had all the necessary kitchen tools and appliances. Between that and the charcoal grill and fire pit outside we very successfully cooked all our meals. The stay right outside the lake was awesome. The freedom to pick out any kayak/rowboat/paddle boat at any time was fantastic, and we rented a jet ski for an hour which was a ton of fun. We fished off the dock in the mornings and early evenings and caught some cute little guys. The little swimming beach was perfect for us. The resort is also walking distance to a couple convenience stores, a deli and pizza joint. We even took an afternoon up to Lake George—it was nice to experience all the activity there but even nicer to return back to our quiet cottage! The other guests were lovely and friendly. The proprietors and staff were great. We had a wonderful and easy going time!

We had a great 28th anniversary / Mother’s Day weekend. We will be back in the Fall and early Spring. We will probably rent 4 or 5 cottages in a row with family and friends. Although this time it was off season and there were no docks in it was peaceful and beautiful for the purpose. We did take a row boat out with our dog a bit and caught a couple fish.

My wife and I stayed at the Elms waterfront cottages this summer and as soon as we entered we were unhappy with the extremely poor construction of the unit, which was rickety and flimsy, and the stove had much dry spilled old food beside and under it, and since we decided to leave early, because the place was extremely overpriced, the owner was quite upset and very visibly avaricious. One of the beds had a broken post and the wheel had only been propped up to appear intact, when my wife was on it it fell on its side — she ended up sleeping on the futon. When we left, immediately the email address we had given him began receiving hundreds of spam mails and we are certain that these people sold our email address to spammers to make up for their perceived loss of our stay. We also have since then begun receiving dozens of unsolicited catalogs and spam by USPS, and we also suspect The Elms as being the one selling our address for that. We have never before been spammed like this. We remember thinking that the main selling point of this place is the lake, and their website is very pretty and misleading. But know that if you stay here, you are at risk of having your information sold to spammers, and you will pay way too much for a very poor and dirty place to stay.

Very nice get away. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.

This was an amazing place to stay! The owner (Chandler) was super kind and polite! He makes sure you feel comfortable and happy. My husband and I rather come here then anywhere else! Such a great place! If you are considering this place then You will have a great time here! Make sure you book fast because many people come here. Hopefully next year we come again. We tried booking this year but it was full. Excellent place!

Joined a group of friends who were here before, and I enjoyed my stay. This place made me want to stay. I already recommend it to my cousins. Highly recommend.

The proprietor is one of the kindest human beings I've ever met, striving to make each stay memorable and enjoyable. The Elms have a picturesque view of the River, and each cabin is well maintained and cared for.

The rooms are decent. The lake is pretty nice. They're many things things to do such as kayaking boating etc. The only problem is there is no service and the Wi-Fi doesn't connect well twords the entrace of the place; however there is a business station if some one wishes to work and get access to a computer Wi-Fi or a printer. It's a pretty decent place over all.

Great place for family time so many things to do, life time memories…

Literally perfect! The owner and staff were super friendly and accommodating from the very beginning. I was unsure of booking at first because you never know what to trust on the internet these days but it far exceeded expectations. The cabins/suites are beautiful in person. Very quaint. Literally waterfront. You walk out your front door to a deck and then a private BBQ area and a beautiful lake with every amenity you could ever need. The kids didn't once ask for their phones or TV. We are going to making this spot an annual trip location for the family.

The best cabin experience! The cabins were all so nice and very clean, the staff there was so friendly and very laid back, there was plenty to do on the grounds. It was nice and relaxing perfect little get away. We are definitely going back!

Awesome place great owner's well worth the money.

The best cabin experience. We had a private beach and confirm area. It was quiet and peaceful. Beautiful Lake and stars and moon view at night.

Or was great place. We vwent there for one night. Every cottage had a personal fire place also the rooms were cozy and nice… Hot water had nice kitchen and cutlery. Reccomend it to everyone. Also a special thanks to Chandler for being so accomodatig us.

I stayed at a cottage, which are pretty clean but the bathroom is a stand up shower which the shower head is so old u wet the whole bathroom showering and the toilet is wobbly. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and attentive… use of free canoes is awesome. But cottages could use some updating. Bring mosquito repellent lots of them after 6pm u get eaten alive.

This memorial day long weekend (2009) we spent our holidays @ elmscottages. One of the finest cottages located on the shore of Lake Luzerne. It was very peaceful. I should not forget to mention about Chandler (Owner) who guided us and was so patience in listening to all our questions and clarrified each and everything we needed. He was so down to earth and been there whenever needed. In many places you will not see what you hear, but it was nothing less what Chandler explained it to us (100%). With the cottage they have provided the rowboat and pedal boat rides free for as much time as you want to enjoy. BTW, if you are going from NYC, then this is the best place to stop by to visit all Lake George and Lake Placid. I will not be going to anyother places if am planning for a trip to Adirondack again…!
