About The Boathouse Restaurant and The Lodges at Cresthaven
The Boathouse Restaurant and The Lodges at Cresthaven is a wedding venue located in Lake George, New York. Nestled at the base of the Adirondack Mountains on Lake George, this 11-acre estate provides a scenic and secluded location for celebrations of love. The historic property was built in 1876 as part of the Adenin estate, then purchased by New York Times publisher Adolph Ochs in the 1920s. For many years it was an iconic stop on the lake’s Millionaire’s Row and hosted visitors such as Buffalo Bill Cody and John Philip Sousa. Today, it offers a romantic setting for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a magical lakeside weekend.

Incredible Venue with Incredible Views and Service
Due to COVID-19, 50 days out from our wedding date, we decided to change the location of our wedding to be closer to family to make it safer. Now that we had a guest count that fit, we were thrilled to be able to go back to our original pick which was The Boathouse Restaurant & The Lodges at Cresthaven. Jayne and Dan were lifesavers and joy to work with! They helped us plan our wedding ceremony and small reception in 50 days. They were attentive and beyond accommodating. Jayne is incredibly responsive and answered all my questions. Dan customized a menu to fit our budget and needs. But on top of that, they allowed us the opportunity to create the wedding we always wanted while keeping our 28 guests safe. State regulations did not allow dancing so we only had a meal. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, everyone was spaced out, and all the staff had masks and gloves. Our guests are still talking about the breath taking views, delicious food, and just how perfect the venue was overall. Saying our vows in front of a picturesque view that to this day doesn’t seem real, was a dream come true. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and will definitely be going back to The Lodges at Cresthaven for a vacation when everything is back to normal!

If I could do it all over again, I'd still choose The Boathouse Restaurant. It was absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on the venue, food and views! Our guests couldn't believe how perfect our wedding was. Everyone was so accommodating. Thank you so much to Jayne, Dan and The Boathouse Restaurant staff!

A perfect wedding reception!
My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at The Boathouse Restaurant, and many of our guests stayed at The Lodges at Cresthaven. Everything about the experience and the reception exceeded our expectations! Jayne was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process- she patiently answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our requests. The Boathouse staff was phenomenal on our wedding day- our guests raved about the level of service from the bartenders, waitstaff and the quality (and quantity!) of the food! Additionally, the views from the venue are incredible and The Boathouse gave us the exact "feeling" that we wanted from our reception- a fun, rustic lake vibe but with high quality food, service, and amenities. Many of our guests remarked that this was the best wedding that they had ever been to! Our guests loved staying in the lodges, which were absolutely beautiful as well. For the few guests who stayed at a different hotel, the shuttle transport to and from the reception (which was included with the reception) worked out well too. My husband and I still can't get over how perfect the day was- from the planning process, to the location, food, service and fun- we wish that we could do it all over again! Thank you Jayne, Dan and staff for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! It was such a pleasure working with you! Best wishes to you!
The Boathouse Restaurant & Lodges at Cresthaven are one-of-a-kind!! Has a million dollar view overlooking beautiful Lake George and the Adirondacks. Just gorgeous for pictures!! This is a perfect location for small intimate weddings. It is elegant and classy. Relaxing and super comfortable. It's almost like you're in another world!! Not to mention the food. I had dinner there with my family in June 2013 and superb service plus, if you get a window seat, you're almost in the Lake!!
