Simple & rustic vibes! If you're looking for a comfortable place to sleep, this is it! We visited Lake George for the first time this past weekend and we were looking for an inexpensive place to just lay our heads down. We spent most our time outdoors exploring the area, but when it was time to get some rest we were glad to be able to sleep in a comfortable & warm bed. We stayed in Cottage #9 and it was roomy enough for the two of us. Check in was easy! The cottage was clean and sanitized, which we were super thankful for especially during these Covid-19 times. Chris, the owner, was very nice and informative! I recommend you give him a call directly, before booking your stay online so you can get an extra discount!

Great cabins just outside Village of Lake George in the pines---right on the main road for the Trolley but moments into Town, Very clean; great hosts; have stayed there for several years and always a nice bunch of guests. Large rooms with TV; other amenities; some have kitchens; pool; set back from road in a beautiful woodsy area. Nice to sit on the porches and relax. Family oriented; couldn't ask for a nicer place. Great rates too!

Had an awesome stay with out kids at lees cottages. Went up for the car show weekend and the owner that I spoke with was more than helpful with a small mix up at check in., he also went above and beyond to give a parking spot for my truck and car trailer for the weekend. Very clean property, helpful staff, and awesome play area for the kids. Most definitely recommend for a nice quiet, get away only a 2 min. Drive to downtown lake George

Just stayed there again for the third time, heading back in September. This is my go to place in Lake George. Doesn’t look like much from the street but opens up into a lovely array of Cabins. Heated pool, clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff and reasonable rates and convenient location make this the perfect get away. I highly recommend it.

Lee's is so nice and quiet so it feels more private than staying in town but it's still a short drive from Lake George and Queensbury. The owners are so nice and attentive, check in was very quick and easy. The pool is clean and our cottage was very nice, spacious and well maintained. We loved it and will definitely stay here again!

This was our first time staying at Lee’s motel and cottages and it most definitely will not be the last. The owners and staff were absolutely amazing and welcoming. They cottage was absolutely adorable and homey. We played catch in the front of the cottage and roasted marshmallows at night before we sat outside looking up at the stars. It is a lovely place and extremely relaxing and welcoming. We will definitely be back.
