Bonacio Development worked with the project owners, Sonny and Julie Bonacio, Andrea Crisafulli, and Alan Ayers, to redevelop the existing Word of Life Family Lodge and Retreat into The Schroon Lake Lodge. After watching how the COVID-19 pandemic redefined the drive-to-leisure hospitality sector, our development team saw an opportunity in the Adirondack region. Hospitality operators in the area reported record numbers of new tourists hailing from the tri-state area. Partnering with Hay Creek Hotels, a premier boutique hotel operator, further confirmed our vision for this property. Bonacio Construction renovated most of the 34-acre property, which features a 10,000 SF restaurant in the historic Brown Swan Club House, an indoor pool, a fitness center, indoor amenity space, a waterfront beach with docks, outdoor recreation space, mini golf, and playgrounds. Lodging includes over 100 guest rooms, including standard hotel rooms, suites, single-family chalets, glamping sites, and cabins. Still being renovated is the former performance venue, which Bonacio Construction is transforming into an event space/ballroom. Further phases of this project are in pre-development.
