Accommodations Silver Bay’s campus sits on 100 acres that overlooks Lake George’s silver shimmering surface, the namesake for Silver Bay. We offer over thirty different types of accommodations that range from small cottages to luxury style hotel rooms. Paine Hall, which can fit up to 52 people, was originally owned by Silas and Mary Paine as their family summer home. By 1902 the Paine Family along with Luther Wishard had founded Silver Bay YMCA and today, twenty-nine of the property’s fifty-two buildings are listed on the National Historic Places registry. The Inn, which continues to be a popular accommodation and central meeting location for generations, hosts seventy-one private bath accommodations and twenty-six shared bath and can hold between two to six people per room. Our new William Boyd Center was completed in August of 2018 which includes luxury style accommodations, a dining room that can fit up to 500 people and a large conference center as well! Whether you and your family are looking to lodge together or be separate but close, our staff is committed to finding the best accommodations to fit your family’s needs.
