_Lodging

Ampersand Bay Resort sits right on the shoreline of Lower Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, offering lodging that feels more like a private lakeside retreat than a traditional resort stay. Guests can choose from a range of accommodations including waterfront cabins, multi-level townhomes, and spacious suites, many of which are designed with full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and open living spaces that make it easy for families and groups to stay together comfortably. Large windows and private decks or porches are a key feature, bringing the lake and surrounding forest directly into the living space and making the views part of the everyday experience.

The property is designed for guests who want both comfort and access to the outdoors. Each stay places you steps from the water, where you can swim, kayak, paddleboard, or take advantage of boat rentals during the warmer months. In quieter moments, the shoreline, docks, and Adirondack scenery create a calm setting that encourages a slower pace, whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the deck or watching the sunset over the lake.

Wedding Accommodations

Weddings at Ampersand Bay Resort are built around the idea of a full waterfront experience where guests can stay on-site and take part in an entire weekend centered on the lake. Accommodations are located throughout the property, allowing wedding parties and guests to stay close together in cabins, townhomes, and suites while remaining just steps from ceremony and reception spaces along the shoreline.

The setting itself plays a major role in the celebration, with ceremonies typically held right on the water and receptions flowing into outdoor gathering spaces that highlight the surrounding Adirondack landscape. Because guests are staying on the property, the entire experience feels relaxed and continuous, with time to gather by fire pits, enjoy the beach, or spend time on the lake between events. The result is a wedding atmosphere that feels less like a single day and more like an extended lakeside getaway shared with family and friends.

Seating accommodations for 50 guests.
