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. The restaurant on the... More

We went to Hope Lake lodge for two nights. We only did the waterpark for one day but the pool could be used at anytime. The kids loved the indoor/outdoor pool in the winter time. What an experience to be swimming while it snowed. We loved the cabin suite, that was my favorite part of the stay. It was so... More

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.
