This Lakefront Resort in New York's Adirondacks Has a Private Beach, Cozy Chalets, and Epic Fall Foliage Views

The Lodge at Schroon Lake Resort just opened after an extensive $21-million renovation — and it's the perfect all-seasons getaway.

Schroon Lake in New York's Southern Adirondacks might not be a household name, like Lake Placid or Lake George, but that's exactly why you should consider it for a peaceful fall getaway. The small, historic town, with a nine-mile-long lake, welcomed a brand-new resort with plenty of accommodation options and family-friendly offerings — all in a scenic fall foliage destination.

Spanning 36 acres, The Lodge at Schroon Lake opened in June after an extensive $21-million renovation, with 116 guest rooms, suites, private cabins, two-bedroom lake-view chalets, and a glamping site. Inspired by its mountainous setting, the rustic design features plenty of wood accents, deep earthy tones, and cozy plaid accents.

While the resort offers many indoor amenities, including a pool, sauna, gym, and game room, its wide range of outdoor facilities make it stand out. A sports complex with basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts, a ball pit, mini golf, a children's playground, and lawn games await guests of all ages.

Of course, the resort has taken full advantage of its lakefront location and offers an endless list of water activities, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and sailing, as well as a private sandy beach with a dock and a marina. In the evenings, resort guests can relax with a drink (or s'mores) by the campfire, watch a movie on the property's front lawn, take a moonlight paddle, or stretch out with an evening yoga session. For a $25 fee, parents can drop off their kids at the children's club and enjoy a date night. Meanwhile, the little ones are kept busy and entertained with crafts, games, movies, and dinner at the resort's farm-to-table eatery, The Brown Swan. Parents can join fellow travelers at the resort's lounge and bar, The Bevy, for local brews, craft cocktails, and appetizers.

The Lodge is an all-seasons getaway, and for guests visiting in the winter, the property has a complimentary shuttle to nearby Gore Mountain, New York's largest ski resort.

Nightly rates at The Lodge at Schroon Lake start from $119 through the end of the year, when starting rates go up to $149.
