terrible
Good News: Not too far from lake george village, about 15 minutes drive. The owners are very nice people, but they are clearly overwhelmed by the needs of this place. The foreign women working there were very nice and helpful.
Bad News: A tent in the forest would be comparable, if not more comfortable. The rooms are 20+ years old, with horrible broken furniture. Very musty and moldy smells, Windows are from daniel boone era and do not close very well, and no locks! Doors are the same, in fact, when I forgot my key in the car, a gentle push is all it took. Bathroom is horrible. Everything drips. Barely enough hot water for a 2 minute shower (if you are courageous enough to remove your clothes). 2 - 40watt bulbs in the room, I couldn't even read in the dim light. The carpeting is grungy and filthy. Towels were not changed, and nor were the sheets for the whole week we were there! Just ask them, they were comfortable saying the "manor" if eco-friendly. The floor of our cabin(?) wa...Read more

Very disappointing - poor value
We went to Blue Water Manor with two other families. The trip was booked unseen by one of the other families. Our first "suite" was disgusting and we had to move. We did get moved to a slightly better location, but all of the rooms that our group had were old, musty and tired, to be kind. The doors had huge gaps to give the bugs easy entry. We had to leave notes to tell them what to clean or it wouldn't get done. The a/c were small, noisy window units, coupled with only full size beds made for a restless week. We had the meal plan and the food was decent, but we were gtting tired of the same breakfasts and overcooked peas & carrots every night for dinner. The property itself is in a great location and it's a shame they are not doing more - it has so much more potential - just cleaning up the overgrown bushes, fixing the railing and cleaning up the piles off broken up asphalt & logs would help make it look cleaner. The indoor pool/game room was scary - dirty pool, poor lighting, peeling...Read more

Would not recommend it!
Upon entering our $100 a night half of a cabin we were greeted by a lovely musty and moldy scented odor. Once inside we found out that if both of us had to use the bathroom we would have to go find some leaves outside since we had very little toilet paper left on the only roll in the cabin! On top of that we would have a hard time washing our hands since there was no soap! Conviently enough the office was already closed for the night when we arrived. Once we "freshened up" we went to sleep on beds fit for people less than 5'-8" tall and pillows that smelled heavily of nicotine.
The next day, we were rudely awakened by the maid since there was no "do not disturb" sign to use. We told her to come back later, but evidently later meant never to her. We returned after an outing at 3 pm to find the entire parking lot was full because of a wedding at the hotel and we were forced to park in the muddy woods (literally). Once we tried to get back into the cabin, our key became stuck in ...Read more
