After the crazy busy few months I just experienced, I wanted nothing more than to get away with the family to somewhere quiet, relaxing and pretty. The Sagamore Resort couldn't have been a more perfect choice.
Situated right on Lake George in the Adirondacks, the Sagamore was originally built in 1883. It has been operating as a resort for over 100 years now. Since it is located on a small island, you are completely surrounded by beautiful vistas of the sparkling blue water with the verdant mountains beyond.
The architecture is absolutely stunning.
There are pretty flowers and rolling green lawns everywhere you turn.
...and I just loved how the resort was all dressed up for the Fourth of July!
The Sagamore is definitely elegant, but also very laid back and family-friendly (i.e., not stuffy). There are numerous excellent restaurants in and around the property and a myriad of activities to partake in - even croquet on the front lawn. The girls especially loved the outdoor pools and the nightly bonfire (s'mores!).
I think my husband and I most enjoyed the evening cruise on the resort's own boat, the Morgan. There is nothing like sipping a good glass of wine, feeling the breeze on your skin, and gazing at a postcard-perfect sunset...
This was our first trip to the Sagamore and I really can't recommend it enough. We will definitely be going back...hopefully soon!
XOXO

I love that area, Jessica. It's also one of our favorite places to escape to any time of year! The Sagamore Resort looks lovely! The E.B. Morgan House and Aurora Inn are gorgeous, intimate places to stay as well!

I live not too far from there and feel so lucky we live so close to the Adirondacks and such a beautiful resort, my husband and I never get tired of visiting.

Growing up I spent my summers in Bolton Landing NY. Without even reading this I recognized the Sagamore and the mts surrounding Lake George. It is such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.
