When It Comes to Summer, Nothing Beats the Northeast
"We stayed at the recently opened Huttopia Adirondacks, near Lake George, New York, another of those iconic Northeastern summertime towns; it evinced none of the bougieness you might associate with glamping, but did have a delightfully whimsical French touch. It was probably the most successful trip we took last summer: The kids got S’mores, hang time in the woods, and a pool, while their parents got real beds, a gas grill, and a restaurant serving Nutella crepes and Croque Monsieurs when they didn’t want to have to deal with cooking. And all of us loved every minute of our off-site fun, from the thrills and chills of whitewater rafting with the family-run Sacandaga Outdoor Center to the 18 swashbuckling holes we played at Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf in the heart of Lake George. After checking out, we drove north to Natural Stone Bridge & Caves, another family-run operation that claims to be the largest marble cave entrance in the Eastern United States and has a delightfully kitschy gift shop that carries enormous glittering geodes and Adirondacks coffee mugs that appear to be deadstock from the 1970s."
