This is the boathouse at The Juliana Resort in Diamond Point, purchased by Jessica Ferguson and Chris Menter in May for $2.9 million. The resort is open for the season.By Maureen Werther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jessica Ferguson and Chris Menter closed on the purchase of The Juliana Resort located at 3842 Lake Shore Drive in Diamond Point, in May. They are ready to greet long-time customers and new ones as the season begins to heat up.<\/p>\n

The couple purchased the property from Eric and Alia Fahlborg for $2.9 million. The Fahlborg\u2019s have owned and operated the resort since 2003, when they bought it for $1.43 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since that time, The Juliana has become a popular return destination for many families, who come there annually to vacation on Lake George. The Juliana has 24 rooms and sits on two acres, situated approximately halfway between Lake George village and the village of Bolton.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The resort caters specifically to families and groups\u2014offering two-bedroom housekeeping suites with full kitchens and private decks with gas grills\u2014as well as efficiency units with kitchenettes and standard and queen-size rooms lakeside or poolside. Ferguson said there are also some two-bedroom suites with living rooms.<\/p>\n

She and husband, Menter, have no immediate plans to do any renovations or remodeling.\u00a0 <\/span>She said that rooms are already booked for most of the season, although there are still a few rooms available.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople usually leave their deposit a year in advance,\u201d said Ferguson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are not a ton of resorts like this, with full kitchens,\u201d said Ferguson. Families usually arrive with their groceries and stay on the lakefront property more reasonably than if they were to stay at a hotel with no kitchen facility. She said the resort has a more intimate, small community feel to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like an extended family, with the same people coming back each year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Juliana has amenities such as kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards that guests may use during their stay. Other amenities include badminton, ping-pong, fishing, volleyball and there is also a movie and game room. Ferguson said they also have a karaoke and movie nights at the beachfront cabana near the water, which can accommodate up to 100 people. She also said the private dock is a popular fishing point. There is also a heated in ground swimming pool.<\/p>\n

Ferguson and Menter are also partners with Menter\u2019s parents \u2013 Theresa and David Menter \u2013 at Scotty\u2019s Lakeside Resort in Lake George Village. They purchased that property in 2014 for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n

Ferguson said that they are currently managing that property as well as The Juliana. Scotty\u2019s is the largest beachfront property in the village, with 103 rooms and a caf\u00e9 and beach bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ferguson said they usually reach maximum occupancy at both locations right after school vacations begin, and business doesn\u2019t subside until after Labor Day weekend. When talking about The Juliana, Ferguson said that the goal would be to eventually turn it into a four-season resort. She said it was a \u201cgood buy, whether we expect that to happen or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Menter family is said to own approximately 800 hotel and resort rooms in Lake George. They also own the Wakita Motel, which is located near The Great Escape, and they recently purchased the Country Inns and Suites in Queensbury.<\/p>\n

Ferguson said she and her husband also recently purchased Nordick\u2019s Motel located just south of The Juliana Resort. The Juliana transaction was handled by Kim Scott, realtor with Select Sotheby\u2019s International.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
