Beautiful view of the bay, great swimming and lounging spot. Comfortable stay, good room with basic amenities. The hosts are really generous they helped us with an extra cot and utensils for the barbecue, very friendly and decent folks.

Friendly, helpful on-site owners. Beautiful setting on a small bay off Lake George. Kayaks, paddle boards and rowboats. Small, but clean beach with shallow, roped-off swimming area.

Great location. Rooms and accommodations are up to date and better than expected. Property is well kept. Lots of free recreation activities on property. Hosts a very nice people. Rates a reasonable. Its just far enough away from the crowds to be peaceful, yet close enough to get to everything you'd want within minutes.

I have been coming to Lake George with my extended family for my entire life for a week every summer. We stay at 3-4 different places each year, so I have gotten to sample many different places to stay on Lake George, and Chelka is literally always the best.The place is relatively small (around 15 rooms all together), you can have a more basic Queen or king motel room that has a stunning lake view, extremely comfortable beds (this is big with me) and is plenty big enough. There is a newer tv with plenty of stations as well as AC and a fridge, and is kept up well.There are also 3 efficiency suits literally right on the lake, with a kitchenette and everything is quite new and lovely.Finally there is a guest house with an upstairs and downstairs which is perfect if you have more people in your group…..I have stayed in literally every room in the place over the years, and you can’t go wrong with any option.The prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the Queen/king lake view units, which are usually the way we go…..Literally nothing beats the swimming area right in front of the property - leave your room, jump right in, beautiful water, perfect sand, it gets no better, especially on a hot day….They have lots of amenities, canoes, rafts, rowboats, basketball court, ping pong, but again, literally nothing beats the lake access.Judy and Dave are the owners and have had it for more than 20 years. They know exactly what they are doing and are happy to lend advice for any of the many different options around the Lake, in Bolton Landing, or anywhere else nearby.They also have their 2 Labradors who roam the property, play in the water and are as sweet as can be. My wife and I are big time dog lovers. I have seen some people complaining about having 2 dogs around. If for some bizarre reason you don’t like dogs…..well then I don’t want to know you…..Again, I have been coming to Lake George for literally 40 years, trust me, This is the very best place to stay.

We stayed at the Chelka Lodge for 2 nights on a recent visit to Lake George. Although the lodge had numerous amenities available for the guests and our room had a lake view, those are the only positive things I can say about our stay.The "lake view" hotel room we had was part of the original building...which means it is very old-not necessary a bad thing. The Bad thing was that the room was dirty and the building was not well maintained. Along with the UNCLEAN room...peeling paint, dirty drapes, spiders, cobwebs and old coffee stains from previous occupants...among other issues - were a complete turnoff.One of the worst things was when the shower didn't drain while using and you were ankle deep in dirty, slippery shower water. All of that - and more - for a price of $200 a night!!! And that was the OFF-SEASON RATE. I would not recommend this property nor would I stay at this property again.
