The Lodges at Cresthaven

The Resort & Setting

The Lodges at Cresthaven sits directly on Lake George, one of the Adirondacks' best-known freshwater lakes, with water views built into its lodge-style units. Facilities on site include a private beach, a pool and a restaurant, and the lodges themselves come with full kitchens — a layout geared toward families and groups who want space to cook, spread out and settle in for a longer stay rather than a standard hotel visit. Google reviewers consistently rate the property 4.6 out of 5 across more than 500 reviews, and it's described as "posh" lakefront lodging, which matches its positioning as a vacation-ownership property rather than a budget motel.

The Area & Things to Do

Lake George Village, about 3 miles away, is the obvious first stop — a walkable waterfront town with restaurants, shops and galleries that fills up in summer. History buffs can head to the Fort William Henry Museum (roughly 2 miles away), a reconstructed 18th-century fort tied to the French and Indian War. For views, the Prospect Mountain Scenic Byway climbs to panoramas stretching across the lake into Vermont's Green Mountains, and Adirondack Park itself — six million acres of protected forest — starts within easy driving distance, offering hiking, camping and wildlife spotting. The lake supports boating, fishing and swimming right from the doorstep, and the region shifts character with the seasons: busy and water-focused in summer, quieter and foliage-driven in autumn, and geared toward snow sports and holiday visits come winter.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at The Lodges at Cresthaven can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and no commission is taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers.

Because The Lodges at Cresthaven is an independent resort, resale ownership transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national timeshare brand. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, confirm two things directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for putting the deed or contract into a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since both vary by resort and unit size and shouldn't be assumed in advance. Ask, too, whether the week carries RCI and/or Interval International exchange privileges — both networks are affiliated with this resort, but exchange eligibility can depend on membership status and fees being up to date, so it's worth having the resort confirm this in writing as part of the sale. A resale buyer typically takes over the deeded or right-to-use week itself and the usage rights that come with it; items like points balances, banked weeks or loyalty perks generally do not carry over unless the resort specifically says otherwise, so flag this clearly in your listing to avoid disputes after a sale closes.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters and buyers evaluating a week here should weigh the season carefully: summer weeks draw the most interest thanks to lake access and warm-weather activities, while fall and winter weeks suit those chasing foliage, holiday atmosphere or a quieter lake setting. Anyone renting should ask the owner what's included — a kitchen is standard across lodges, but confirm bedroom count, view type and whether the week is fixed or floating. Buyers should always confirm transfer and annual fee figures with the resort before finalising a deal, since these aren't published publicly and change over time.
