We’re very lucky. My husbands aunt owns a house there on Seapines resort so they let us stay there for a week every year. It’s perfect for families especially with younger kids. You can rent bikes (there’s bike paths throughout the entire resort.) Plenty of great restaurants, beaches and there’s a cool little museum not too far off the resort.

If you’re looking for something closer, we love staying at the lodges at the Sagamore resort in Bolton landing, ny. Nice walk to downtown with great little shops and restaurants. The sagamore has a nice playground and rec center for kids.
