7 Reasons Why Renting a Lake George Cabin is Better Than a Hotel

When planning a Lake George vacation, choosing the right lodging can make all the difference. While motels and hotels are a traditional choice, there’s something truly special about renting a cabin in the Lake George Region. From the comforts of home to the proximity to nature, here are the top seven reasons why renting a Lake George cabin is better than staying in a hotel.

Privacy & Seclusion

Unlike a hotel, where you’re often sharing walls, elevators and common space with dozens of other guests, our Lake George cabins are standalone buildings, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The privacy and seclusion offer a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, perfect for romantic getaways and quality time with family.

Space to Spread Out

We offer two-bedroom and three-bedroom cabins, as well as cabins with separate living rooms and kitchens, and additional bathrooms, so it feels more like a home-away-from-home. By providing more space than a typical hotel room, friends and family can stay under one roof and still enjoy a bit of personal space.

Full Kitchens

While some hotel rooms provide mini-fridges and microwaves, all of our Lake George cabins include kitchenettes with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, and several feature full kitchens, making it easy to prepare snacks and meals during your stay. Some of the cabins even have indoor dining tables and chairs, in addition to an outdoor picnic table.

Private Outdoor Area

Why stay cooped up inside a hotel room, when you can rent a Lake George cabin with a screened-in porch or patio? All of the cabins at Northern Acres also include private fire pits, outdoor furniture, a picnic table and charcoal grill, so you can spend time outside and soak up the fresh mountain air – without sharing the space with other guests.

Pet-Friendly Lodging

We know how important it is to travel with your family pet. After all, we consider our office dog Fiona a member of the team. Unlike many hotels that do not allow dogs, furry family members under 45 lbs. are welcome to stay in our pet-friendly Lake George cabins for a small fee. We simply ask owners to complete the pet agreement and provide vaccination records.

Unique Experiences & Personal Touches

Staying in our Lake George cabins offers a unique experience that a hotel simply can’t replicate. Each cabin has its own character and decor, from the cowboy-themed Western Hideout to the bohemian-themed Boho Hut, every cabin features a personal touch for a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience.

Things to Do

From hiking trails to water activities, there’s plenty to do all around our Lake George cabins. Northern Acres features a heated outdoor pool for our cabin guests, as well as a playground, and we are conveniently located just one mile from the public beaches, restaurants, shops and attractions in Lake George Village.
