OMG! What is this place even? No a/c and the fan just circulated the warm air which is not helpful at all. I slept on a twin bed for the first time in my life. I got a room with 2 twin beds. Apparently that’s an upgrade. I paid close to $200 for this. Everything looked like it was designed for an 8 yrs old kid. Sink and toilet are way lower than usual. The entire property had these pipes running all over the place overhead. I don’t know . I had a weird feeling in my stomach during my stay at this place. Not at all worth the money. I really don’t even know why Expedia recommended this place to me at the first place as I am a solo traveler. I’m not going on a summer camp trip. Total bummer.

It was like staying at a resort. The receptionist accidentally re-charged me for the same booking- which when I inquired about later since it exceeded the typical hold for damages the receptionist was friendly and helpful, and immediately refunded the money. They used keys instead of updated key pads. There was no lotion in the room which is not a huge deal. I bring my own supplies. Breakfast I was told was at 7 for grab and go and 7:30 for hot food. It was actually 7:30 8 a.m. for hot food. I didn't mind I just sat and waited the view by the windows was breathtaking. The only other thing that I would say is check the website for activities they admit that's the best way for accuracy. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly. The view from the lakefront hotel was beautiful. The beach was small and private. I loved the hiking trails, and quiet atmosphere. I would recommend this to a friend. Oh, there is wifi, but there was no television in the room, or microwaves. The restaurant was also not open, and there were limited places to go to eat. So be prepared. :) The parking lot was also limited, and it took me a few minutes to find where our room was, the buttons for handicapped also didn't work. Nothing to deter me from coming back.

We only stayed one night here at the end of a week-long October trip and wished we could have stayed longer. Wow! This was an absolutely beautiful property and the service was top- notch. We booked a room in the newer William Boyd Center that had a balcony overlooking the lake. The balcony had two rocking chairs to sit in and enjoy the incredible view. One thing to know is that this property is somewhat remote feeling and the parking lot is a long walk from the rooms. They do offer golf cart rides if needed. Eating in their dining room makes the most sense logistically, so we had both dinner and breakfast here. The food was good, with some variety, but nothing fancy. We were here at the end of the season, so things were very quiet. If you enjoy a peaceful, serene, beautiful property, this is the place! We are definitely planning to return for a longer stay.

The location is just lovely. The people are friendly and I truly wish I had found this place while my children were still young. It would have been the perfect place to stay with them. There is lots to do with a family. The place is fairly secluded on a windy road along Lake George. It is somewhat hard to find but also marked. I was there to stay the night before a swim race on the lake so I booked for convenience. And, it was quite convenient. Having said that, I came back from dinner late in the evening and I am very glad I found parking right near the front of the hotel and that I was staying in the main building. I would have been somewhat less comfortable has I been staying somewhere else or had I been required to park in one of the lots which are a walk from the main entrance. The property is very large and somewhat intimidating for a single person staying alone. Also, the night I stayed it was very hot and the air-conditioning is not central, is very loud and somewhat dodgy. I was a bit hot. That said, I would return there if I decided to swim again next year.

Nice quiet room at a resort-like property on the lake. But it's near nothing. So, make sure you've eaten beforehand. I got in after 7pm and found nowhere to get a meal. The nearest place had no food left on a Saturday evening, and the next closest place was 15 miles away on a dark mountain road in Bolton Landing.

Great times in Silver Bay.

the YMCA is a great destination. Nice personnel to assist. Adult, child, & family friendly. So many activities, great location and grounds. A treasure trove of fun times. Breakfasts were delicious with a great variety of offerings from eggs, waffles, pancakes, muffins, yogurt, etc. A lot of choices.
The water for kayaking and sail boating was crystal clear. Even live music over the weekend when we were there!
We will definitely be back.

Rest and Relaxation

If you are looking to watch tv in your room and need AC, this might not be the place for you. That being said, this place was fantastic, gorgeous views of scenic Lake George, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Lake George. With so many activities to do on site. From a baseball/softball/ Kick ball field, shuffleboard, Watersports, a gymnasium. It would be a perfect place to go with a big family, a large group of friends, or if you want to unplug from the daily madness of being connected to our phone/ laptops/ electronics.

Christian-themed FAMILY resort. Arrive b4 7.

NOT ALL ROOMS HAVE AC, pay attention to what you are booking. It’s clearly specified. Nonetheless there were people complaining about their rooms being too hot.

The YMCA in the name is not just a historical reference. This place was comfortable but definitely Christian-themed. As a woman traveling solo, I stood out. Felt awkward but nobody was openly rude or anything. I think it’d be a great place for a family trip regardless of your religion. Just don’t mention that it reminds you of the resort from “Dirty Dancing” lol.

I had trouble finding food, as I arrived after the dining hall closed (7pm). Had to drive 30 minutes to find an open restaurant. The pizza place in the “gift shop” was not open.

Check in was more focused on telling me where to park than how to find my room, or food, or anything. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, unfortunately.

Overall - unusual but comfortable, would book again.

Very disappointed

Check in was easy and friendly. We were given a tiny room in a run down dormitory style building, peeling wallpaper and folded up beds leaning against the wall. There were no amenities in the room beyond a sink, toilet and shower. No refrigerator (which was needed for a diabetic). No AC either, just a fan. Outside was mid 80’s and inside much hotter. When we asked for a room with AC they offered another fan. After much deliberation we were offered a room with AC for an up charge that literally DOUBLED what we had already paid. Breakfast was included but the food was cold. Not worth the price. Know what you’re getting into if you book here.

The property was very pretty. I was shocked that the rooms had no AC. I was in town for a family event and couldn’t get ready in my room because it was so hot and my room was 100 degrees. I had to asked family if we could shower and get dressed in their home so I could blow dry my hair etc. I was prepared for the room not having a tv which was not a problem but the no AC should have been on the website. Also, the parking is pretty far from the hotel and in the dark walking was very dangerous. I have never been so disappointed in a get a way It may be nice in fall but stay away in summer
