Vacation Resort in Lake George, NY

Ever wonder what you would do if you had a mid-life crisis? Buy a fast car, boat, or maybe take a world tour. Bet you would never have thought of buying an aging vacation resort in Lake George, NY—but to each their own! Tom is a retired school teacher of 23 years and his late wife, Mary Lou, had been a school principal for 20 years. Both had no clue what to expect when they embarked on their adventure of resort ownership. They brought with them two sons, Thomas (T.D.) and Scott, as well as a desire to succeed in the face of adversity. Together, they set out to revive an old Adirondack resort.

Twin Pines on Trout Lake has been in constant operation as a historic resort since 1918. Originally, as an "informal adult resort," Twin Pines boasted a full meal plan provided by European chefs, a 75 person staff and numerous guest rooms. In the early 1970s, informal adult resorts fell from popularity and the original owners decided to redirect the business to hotel type accommodations. Most of the single units were reorganized into fully equipped cottages with kitchens. In 1986, the McGurl family took over the business. Constant renovation and building have gone on in the last 30 years.

Tom currently lives on the property as well as his son T.D. is the District Superintendent for a local school district. Karen, his wife, and Liam and Meghan, his children. Scott his wife Maggie and their children, Andrew and Sarah, live in Minnesota.  Living and working in the same location has afforded the McGurl’s opportunity to both accommodate their guests' needs and form amazing friendships over the years.
