The great poet and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, once said: “A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
A lake vacation with family or friends provides the perfect opportunity to clear your mind, reconnect with nature, or embark on new adventures both in and around the lake. Whether you choose to plan your vacation in the summer or in the fall, spending time at a lake is good for the soul.
A New Way to Vacation at a Lake: Rent a Luxury Motorcoach
You may have fond memories of camping in a tent or an RV at a lake with your family or you may have vacationed at lakeside cabins. One new way to experience a relaxing lakeside vacation is to rent a luxury motorcoach so you and your family and friends can travel in comfort and style.
Much like a luxury hotel suite, a luxury motorcoach features all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. Most motorcoaches have electric fireplaces, heated floors, and state-of-the-art entertainment centers. There’s also plenty of room for your pets to stretch out comfortably.
When you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. Similar to a personal concierge, we’ll work closely with you to customize your itinerary for a smooth, comfortable, luxury travel experience, and we are available throughout your journey should you need any extra support.
What to Know About Your Private Driver
Our professional drivers have decades of experience driving large vehicles throughout the country. They are used to driving long hours, navigating twists and turns on mountain roads, and adjusting to diverse weather conditions.
Because LiTRV provides bespoke services, our private drivers often go “above and beyond” to make each journey a memorable one. For example, they can set up a decorative ground cover next to the luxury motorcoach so you can relax outside by the lake, watch the sunset or enjoy breakfast as the sun rises. They can also set up a firepit for cozy, romantic evenings.
Our LiTRV team can also reserve a premier site at a luxury RV resort that includes a full outside kitchen with integrated audio and video entertainment centers.
The best part about having a private driver is that you and your family and friends don’t need to take turns driving, giving you more quality time together to enjoy your trip. You also have the flexibility to modify your travel plans, even after your journey has begun. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for our driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
Treat Yourself to a Lavish Lake Vacation Experience
As for which lake to visit, you have many options. The United States is estimated to have about 3 million lakes, with most of them in Alaska. The lower 48 states have an estimated 125,000 lakes, or close to 480,000 if you include all lakes, according to a 2021 Michigan State University study.
Here are three lake vacation destination ideas for your vacation in a luxury motorcoach:
Flathead Lake, Montana
Created by Ice Age glaciers, Flathead Lake is the largest natural body of freshwater in the contiguous western United States and one of the cleanest and clearest. It’s also a great place to see wildlife, such as bald eagles, wild horses, bighorn sheep and other animals.
Located in northwest Montana, the sprawling lake encompasses nearly 200 square miles at the base of the Swan and Mission Mountain ranges. The beautiful lake in “Big Sky Country” has 185 miles of shoreline and a depth of 370 feet.
Our LiTRV team can explore availability at several luxury RV resorts, including Polson Motorcoach Resort. This pet-friendly resort is a great choice due to its proximity to Glacier National Park and the Mission Mountains. In addition to the majestic views, the property offers desirable amenities, including a deluxe fitness center, fenced dog run, and custom patio kitchens and seating areas that overlook the serene Flathead Lake.
Choose to relax inside the resort or explore activities in the surrounding area, including boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking, golfing, rodeo, museums, theaters, and even cherry picking. Our LiTRV professional driver can also bring you to Glacier National Park, which is less than 2 hours from the resort. The stunning park features melting glaciers, alpine meadows, carved valleys, and spectacular lakes – all running to the Canadian border.
Lake George, New York
Known as the “Queen of American Lakes,” Lake George is nestled into the eastern Adirondacks of upstate New York, and it is known for having some of “the bluest water” in the country. The popular vacation spot attracts more than 50,000 tourists each summer who participate in outdoor activities ranging from hiking, biking, swimming, boating and rafting to water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, parasailing, and ziplining.
The Lake George region is rich in history. Lake George was originally called “Andia-ta-roc-te” by the Native Americans and was later named “Lac du Saint Sacrement” by Father Issac Joques, the first white man to see the lake in 1646. The lake was named “Lake George” by Sir William Johnson in 1755 for his King, George II of England.
The Village of Lake George has a fun, beachy vibe and historic charm. The walkable streets have a variety of local shops, restaurants, pubs, arcades, and miniature golf. Bright red trolleys transport visitors around the area, there are live concerts in the park, and larger boats, operated by The Lake George Steamboat, provide sightseeing tours and dinner cruises.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at several luxury RV resorts in the area, including Lake George RV Park in Lake George. The large, lush property includes deluxe sites with patios as well as cabin rentals, indoor and outdoor pools, entertainment center and theater, a dog park, 10 miles of bike trails and an on-site trolley that goes into town. Or, if you prefer to pamper yourself for a few nights at an opulent hotel, our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the elegant Inn at Erolwest, The Sagamore Resort, an award-winning resort with 140 years of history, or the picturesque, Forbes five-star resort, The Point.
Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
Lake Coeur d’Alene combines natural beauty and small-town charm with sparkling waters surrounded by forested hills and wildlife. The second-largest lake in northern Idaho, the lake is more than 26 miles long with some 135 miles of shoreline. The Coeur d’Alene area is surrounded by dozens of lakes left behind by the glaciers from the Ice Age. There are more than 55 lakes within easy driving distance of Coeur d’Alene, but Lake Coeur d’Alene’s popularity stems from its magical, scenic beauty, pristine water, diverse outdoor recreation, picturesque drives, and charming lakeside atmosphere.
Whether you want to relax and take in the breathtaking views and fresh air, or you prefer an active day of fun, outdoor activities, it’s the perfect retreat for family, friends, or couples who want to escape the busyness of life. Popular outdoor activities range from hiking, biking, and ziplining to boating, swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
Lake Coeur d’Alene is also home to the world’s longest floating boardwalk, stretching 3,300 feet around The Coeur d’Alene Resort Marina. Built in 1985, this engineering marvel is supported by thousands of cedar logs and provides visitors with incredible waterfront views. The boardwalk also connects to the resort’s docks, where you can catch a scenic lake cruise.
The famous resort is also home to the world-famous “Floating Green” that’s reached by a ride in a sleek mahogany boat. With beautiful lake views at nearly every hole, the golf course is a bucket list destination for golf enthusiasts.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Blackwell Island RV Park, which provides a private beach and marina and premier waterfront motorcoach sites. The property is within walking distance of many attractions, and amenities also include fire pits and picnic tables.
