Top Paugus Bay Hotel Reviews

The Naswa Resort

8/10 Good

"Good location. Nice place right on the lake. Room was clean and updated. Had a view of the water. One thing, this is not the place if you're looking for quiet. The walls are thin. Lots of noise- slamming doors, banging around overhead. Definitely a drawback when you're trying to relax and sleep."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Gilford

10/10 Excellent

"We were happy with our stay and if in the area again will gladly be back."

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third time renting Pixie Island for a week in the summer, and it never disappoints! The grandchildren didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back.
