Renting cabins and vacation homes for the Thanksgiving holiday has become a popular trend, especially in scenic areas with mountains and lakes. If you’re looking for a charming Adirondack town to host your family’s Thanksgiving, Lake George is an easy drive from many major metropolitan areas in the Northeast, including New York City and Boston – and it’s only an hour from Albany International Airport. Plus, there’s plenty to do in the Lake George area over the holiday weekend, and several dining options for your Thanksgiving feast.
