The Fern Lodge - Hotel in Chestertown - 46 Fiddlehead Bay Rd, USA

It's a shame I couldn't give Fern Lodge six stars. Peaceful, quiet, Adirondack lodge-style luxury, and yet, not over-the-top snooty. Wendy was a warm and friendly host, as was Sharon. Breakfast was amazing! The views of Friends Lake from our room and private balcony was stunning. Fireplaces everywhere, and lodge decor set the mood for us. We typically stay at the 2 and 2.5 star places due to our budget limitations, but we saved up for many weeks to spend three nights here, and I'd do it again! It was worth every penny. Maybe next time we visit there'll be snow, and we could try out those snowshoes.

Our experience at The Fern Lodge was amazing! The photos on line are beautiful and that’s why I booked, but the pictures on line do not do this place it’s top justice. The fern lodge reminds me of a hallmark picturesque movie. Every detail was thought out and met our every need. Wendy the Innkeeper is a Gem. She goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable and unmatched to any other place. She is truly a top notch Innkeeper that cares about what she is doing and wants you to have a magical time. She is always visible and there if you have questions or needs. She greets you at the door when you come home. This is most definitely our new weekend getaway spot. I cannot wait to go back to the fern lodge and Wendy! We will be talking about the lodge for weeks to come. Thank you for a great experience.

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at the lodge. It's peaceful, upscale and the location is stunning. The rustic, chic Adirondack styling immediately makes you take a deep breath and relax. A lovely breakfast was served in our room and we ate while gazing out on the lake. We spent one cloudy morning in the canoe and we were the only ones out there. Pretty awesome, indeed. Afternoon wine was nice and the electric boat ride was fun. We had 3 dinners at different restaurants, all within 20 minutes or so and every one was delicious. We look forward to returning!

We've stayed here twice, driving 400 miles to get here each time, and its worth every minute in the car. The lodge is so comfortable, the rooms are amazing, the breakfast is beyond yummy, the setting is beautiful. Wendy took wonderful care of us both times. She is the consummate innkeeper! Attentive to our every need, she really wants us to enjoy our stay. They do everything right!

The Fern Lodge is a hidden gem of a destination, when you wish to be pampered a little, while surrounded by the rustic beauty of natural wood furnishings, opulent stone fireplaces, in a laid back atmosphere, offering numerous choices of entertainment to pass your time, or simply relax in the comfort of your exceptionally spacious room. Our room had a beautiful gas fireplace that provided extra warmth and an atmosphere conducive to simply relax in front of it, on the comfortable love seat and enjoy a good book, (many book options available to select from). Or you can do the same in front of the giant stone fireplace (wood) in the main gathering room. Turn down service with a sweet chocolate treat offering, and of course the late afternoon hour of drinks and horderves offered either in the main room or delivered to your own room. A breakfast menu is offered daily, or you can simply request how you would like yours. You may enjoy your breakfast in the dining room, on the balcony or delivered to your room. There is no reason to be bored, as you may go downstairs and perhaps shoot some pool, play ping pong, cards chess, or any number of board games, help yourself to beverages stocked at the mini bar or catch a game or your favorite shows in the mini theater, seated in overstuffed chairs and wall to wall screen for viewing. Finally enjoy a luxurious bathroom with a giant soothing tub or a multi spraying shower. This place is special, and we will be back!

My wife and I went to The Fern Lodge for our 10-year anniversary a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with the place. It is beautiful, peaceful and always smells amazing! The innkeeper Wendy is sweet and fantastic. We loved our first stay so much that we now go twice every year to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of our home life and reconnect as a couple in our favorite place in the world, The Fern Lodge!

My husband and I had a wonderful week-long stay in the Birch Room for his 50th birthday in January. The lodge is gorgeous, the food was fantastic, and the innkeeper was wonderful - we had so much fun getting to know her. The hot tub was luxurious and we enjoyed watching movies in the mini-theater with popcorn. There is a sauna and a bar, and lots of games and other thoughtful touches throughout the property. The Birch Room is large but so cozy, with a sitting area, porch, jacuzzi tub, and fireplace. We loved that there was a house dog to pet and cuddle! We can’t wait to go back again next year.

There are a ton of places to stay in the Greater Lake George area. We love it here (third year) because it feels like we are visiting friends and family. The innkeeper — Wendy— is amazing and she makes an awesome breakfast! She also cooks up and delivers some great appetizers and beer/wine for happy hour! The rooms are delightful. All are different and enjoyable! LOVE this place!
