The location is just lovely. The people are friendly and I truly wish I had found this place while my children were still young. It would have been the perfect place to stay with them. There is lots to do with a family. The place is fairly secluded on a windy road along Lake George. It is somewhat hard to find but also marked. I was there to stay the night before a swim race on the lake so I booked for convenience. And, it was quite convenient. Having said that, I came back from dinner late in the evening and I am very glad I found parking right near the front of the hotel and that I was staying in the main building. I would have been somewhat less comfortable has I been staying somewhere else or had I been required to park in one of the lots which are a walk from the main entrance. The property is very large and somewhat intimidating for a single person staying alone. Also, the night I stayed it was very hot and the air-conditioning is not central, is very loud and somewhat dodgy. I was a bit hot. That said, I would return there if I decided to swim again next year.

Nice quiet room at a resort-like property on the lake. But it's near nothing. So, make sure you've eaten beforehand. I got in after 7pm and found nowhere to get a meal. The nearest place had no food left on a Saturday evening, and the next closest place was 15 miles away on a dark mountain road in Bolton Landing.

Great times in Silver Bay.

the YMCA is a great destination. Nice personnel to assist. Adult, child, & family friendly. So many activities, great location and grounds. A treasure trove of fun times. Breakfasts were delicious with a great variety of offerings from eggs, waffles, pancakes, muffins, yogurt, etc. A lot of choices. The water for kayaking and sail boating was crystal clear. Even live music over the weekend when we were there! We will definitely be back.
wonderful kayaking in Silver Bay. Great personnel at the dock.

Rest and Relaxation

If you are looking to watch tv in your room and need AC, this might not be the place for you. That being said, this place was fantastic, gorgeous views of scenic Lake George, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Lake George. With so many activities to do on site. From a baseball/softball/ Kick ball field, shuffleboard, Watersports, a gymnasium. It would be a perfect place to go with a big family, a large group of friends, or if you want to unplug from the daily madness of being connected to our phone/ laptops/ electronics.

The place was absolutely gorgeous and staff so friendly. We did have to leave on Sat instead of Sun due to illness. Dan had an issue of redness and swelling on his right leg. Took to ER back home and possible blood clot and infection. But it all made it hard for him to be able to walk around. Became even more painful by Sat.

Christian-themed FAMILY resort. Arrive b4 7.

NOT ALL ROOMS HAVE AC, pay attention to what you are booking. It’s clearly specified. Nonetheless there were people complaining about their rooms being too hot. The YMCA in the name is not just a historical reference. This place was comfortable but definitely Christian-themed. As a woman traveling solo, I stood out. Felt awkward but nobody was openly rude or anything. I think it’d be a great place for a family trip regardless of your religion. Just don’t mention that it reminds you of the resort from “Dirty Dancing” lol. I had trouble finding food, as I arrived after the dining hall closed (7pm). Had to drive 30 minutes to find an open restaurant. The pizza place in the “gift shop” was not open. Check in was more focused on telling me where to park than how to find my room, or food, or anything. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, unfortunately. Overall - unusual but comfortable, would book again.
