About Trout House
Trout House a boarding house started in 1863. By the 1890s, Charles Wheeler expanded the original 22-room trout house Hotel to become one of the luxury hotels in Lake George. The first tourists in the Lake District belonged to the "privileged class" of society. They took a train from New York to Lake George, then boarded a steamer and headed north to one of the many hotels dotted by the lake. There are 6 hotels in The Hague: Phoenix Hotel (Phoenix), Hillside Hotel, Iroquois Hotel, Rising House Hotel, trout house Hotel and Island Harbor House Hotel. This steamboat will unload guests at the old public dock, with boxes behind it, ready to enjoy the whole summer on the lake! Every hotel uses a carriage to pick up guests at the Hague dock. Trout House has a tennis court in front and a croquet court in the back. It is famous for trout dinners.
