Fresh Vision + Timeless Tradition: What’s New at Treasure Cove Resort on Lake George
Nestled along the shores of Diamond Point - about halfway between Lake George Village and Bolton Landing - sits Treasure Cove Resort. Treasure Cove Resort has long been a cherished vacation spot, serving as a home-away-from home for generations of Lake George enthusiasts.
A new chapter is unfolding at this beloved resort, as new owners Rod, Kim, Tyler, and Tiffany Cornelius have taken the helm. We sat down with them to chat about what's new and what's staying the same at Treasure Cove Resort, and what guests can expect today.
A Lake George Lover & Community Advocate
Local entrepreneurs Rod and Kim Cornelius took over operations after having made an investment with the previous long-term owner as he prepared for a quasi-retired life and other adventures.
For Rod and Kim, purchasing the resort was less about starting anew, and more about caring for a place they'd already grown to love. "We were very familiar with the resort over the past decade, and many of our guests stay with us each year," they said.
As a testament to Rod and Kim's longstanding position in the Lake George community, some may remember when the iconic Robert Rogers and Native American canoe carving along Beach Road was constructed in 2017. Guess what? They spearheaded this effort alongside with former Mayor, Bob Blais.
"Our desire was to provide residents and vacationers with knowledge of that time period which helped establish the early beginnings of our country. It's a great depiction of that time period during the French and Indian War."
Property-Wide Renovations to Elevate Treasure Cove Resort Even More
Although Treasure Cove Resort was already a highly rated and sought after resort on Lake George, Rod and Kim took on numerous improvement projects to the resort since taking it over. Every building and cabin received a new roof, new decks and flooring were installed in many units, and new beds were furnished in each room.
Property-wide upgrades also include repaired landscaping and drainage around the beach, new outdoor furniture, replaced north docks, updated children's play equipment, and a full interior and exterior repaint of the resort.
Welcome Returning & New Guests!
Rod and Kim and their children, Tyler and Tiffany, have met many of the returning guests over the years, and love hearing their family stories and memories of their times at the resort. They welcome their new guests as well, and enjoy so many new friendships!
"We always look forward to our returning guests each season, and we look forward to meeting more as we continue to provide the absolute best vacation experience with superb amenities at reasonable rates."
Accommodations for Every Traveler
From family vacations to couples' getaways to large groups like a family reunion, Treasure Cove Resort fits the bill with a variety of accommodation options:
- Motel Units: 2 queen beds, full kitchens, cozy living spaces, rooms overlooking the lake, private porches, dock availability, or boat launch
- Lake View Cabins: Spacious layouts with fireplaces, full kitchens, private front porches, dock availability, or boat launch
- Larger Cabins: Multiple bedrooms, spacious living areas, modern amenities, full kitchens, fireplaces, private porches, dock availability, or boat launch
- Vacation Home: This newest listing is a 5-bedroom rental house with lake views, dock availability or boat launch, a private large fire pit, large lawn area, private deck with plenty of seating, and full access to all the resort amenities!
Prime Amenities & Location + Thoughtful Details = Happy Guests
A recent Google review for Treasure Cove Resort raved "We love the big yard, fire pit, BBQ gas grill, and access to the beach, pools, volleyball, ping pong, shuffleboard, canoes, and paddleboards!" They go on to say how their expectations were exceeded, from little details like dishwasher detergent provided, to a closet full of games and toys excellent for families.
Other guests praise the efficient, friendly employees, note that the kitchens come well-stocked with dishes, and highlight clean, well-kept pools, among other things.
While many Lake George lodging properties have a private beach, even this aspect of Treasure Cove Resorts steps above: "We've stayed at other places and always had to drive to public beaches because the beach area was too small, but we found ourselves more than comfortable here."
Speaking of the beach, Rod and Kim let us know that some of their guests have stayed at Treasure Cove Resort for generations, with some of the older folks now in their 60s and 70s, able to show off photos of themselves as babies on the beach!
The Nitty Gritty: What Makes Treasure Cove Resort Stand Out
While Treasure Cove Resort was special before, the experience is even more elevated for guests now under the new ownership of Rod, Kim, Tyler, and Tiffany Cornelius. But there are so many wonderful places to stay in Lake George! What makes Treasure Cove Resort unique?
We asked the Cornelius family and boiled down some of the standout features:
- Quiet, peaceful areas on the property for those looking to sit back, relax, and take in the mountains and lake views
- Dock space for those bringing or renting a boat, and free paddleboards and kayaks for guests
- Full or half kitchens in all rooms, with fridges and microwaves, stocked with all the essentials from dishes to pots and pans
- All rooms, cabins, suites, vacation home, and pools have decks, personal grills, and fire pits
Regarding quiet peaceful areas, there is a space by the dock area under their pergola (check it out in the below photo!) where guests can enjoy a drink during the day, take in the activities going on and people watch, or bring wine and cheese to enjoy here in the evening.
And, ice cream and bags of ice are offered to guests at the office, as well as any necessities they need during their stay.
Plan Your Treasure Cove Resort Stay Now
Treasure Cove Resort is open from mid-May through early October. Some guests choose to come during both shoulder seasons, to enjoy spring and Memorial Day, and then return for the beautiful fall foliage.
If you're looking to bring the entire family for beaching, kayaking, and relaxing by the lake, Treasure Cove Resort is perfect with larger accommodation options and kitchens to cook your own food.
Want to get away with your favorite person on a romantic escape? Opt for one of the smaller units and enjoy relaxing together by the beach and discovering new adventures on the water.
Regardless of your group size and intentions for your getaway, you can't beat the location, the hospitality, the cleanliness, the accommodations, and the prime amenities at Treasure Cove Resort, where every little detail is taken care of.
