This place was a great getaway with our children. Our kids are 6and 18 months and they both had a blast. I don't see older kids having much to do at the waterpark. However, the adventure zone across the street would fit for older kids. The staff was extremley nice and helpful. The rooms are spotless and have great views.... More

Firstly, we went on a groupon rate, so the value was excellent. Very clean, new, and beautiful . Front desk was very accommodating and rooms were spacious . Very clean water park with very attentive lifeguards. We were extremely satisfied and would come here again without hesitation.

This is a great place to go for snow tubing near Binghamton, NY. Pros: The lodge is well-decorated and the service is nice. They have a variety of room types with separate areas to accommodate big families or groups of friends. The full kitchen comes with utensils and pans so you just have to bring food.

Hope Lake Lodge is a great place for both a relaxing and an exciting summer getaway. It has all of the amenities of a fine club or hotel, but even in this beautiful, tranquil environment, exciting adventure and thrills are literally just around the corner. The food is excellent, and all of the staff are helpful, friendly, and considerate.
