Notes from the host
Hideaway Lodge
Summary:
Welcome to Hideaway Lodge! Our home is located just South of Lake George, NY and is the perfect getaway for friends and families to enjoy. The house itself was recently renovated to have all the modern amenities (including ones you might expect from a resort hotel), but also has the thoughtful charm of being your home away from home.
The Space:
The Living Room is our favorite spot to enjoy in the house. Start up the wood burning stove (limited wood supply) and make the house feel super cozy. Lounge on the leather sofas and gaze out the windows to take in the view of lush foliage, switch on the Smart TV (where you can easily sign into your Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming account) for movie night or the big game, or enjoy one of our board games with your group. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen which has an expansive island and stools for gathering around and a dining room with enough seating for your group to dine together.

Hideaway Lodge has 6 traditional bedrooms which altogether can sleep up to 11 guests. With 4 King Bedrooms (one of which has an en suite bathroom), 1 bedroom with two Twin beds and 1 bedroom with a Full bed you will find room for your entire group to spread out. All of our bedrooms feature Casper Mattresses, quality linens and are thoughtfully decorated.
