“We chose The Boathouse for our 25th wedding anniversary trip–our first time to the Lake George area. We could not have been more pleased (unless, of course, the weather gods had cooperated and curtailed the rain–still, the precipitation did not dampen our spirits nor the genuine hospitality offered by Joe & Patti Silipigno and their staff). Upon our arrival following a 7-hour drive, we were immediately made to feel welcome, like honored guests who very quickly came to feel like longtime friends. Joe and Patti are wonderful hosts and were engaging, taking the time to get to know each of their guests; they also provided great information about the inn, the town, the surrounding areas, etc. as well as offered a comfortable home base in their beautiful Boathouse. The place itself is gorgeous, lovingly restored and personally tended to by the Silipignos, and it shows, right down to the last detail. We had booked the Isabella “Sweet” in the adjacent carriage house for three nights and it was both romantic and serene, with a beautiful view of the of the lake; the 4-poster king-sized bed, fireplace and Jacuzzi bathtub added to the ambiance and our comfort. The free WiFi was also a nice benefit. Their relationship with the Sagamore Resort (walkable distance) enabled us to utilize some of the Resort’s amenities and enjoy discounted dining/gift shop privileges. Although it was our first visit to the Adirondack region and The Boathouse, it surely won’t be our last!”
