Lovely hotel in a beautiful and serene area. Nice indoor pool adjacent to outdoor area with hot tub and chaise lounges. Very large fire pit accommodating ten people with a large stack of firewood. Walkways through the woods to the river. Beautiful shower in the room.

The hotel is lovely, the staff friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant has a wonderful menu. The best is the spa. If you go to Tailwater Lodge be sure to check out the spa. To stay here is a treat to be sure.
Fantastic Lodge and Restaurant! The ambience and decor is top notch! Service was great and food spot on delicious ! Great prices on food and drink and a large bar .
Nice little rustic getaway for my wife and my anniversary. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was comfortable and clean. We just wished the pool and hot tub area was open later as they close at 9pm.
Staff was so inviting, helpful and made us feel like family. Food is excellent and portions are plentiful. Highly recommend the Lodge when you are in the area for fly-fishing.
Friendly, comfortable & ultra clean. Good size rooms, helpful staff, a well managed Hilton property. The restaurant isn't bad but a bit on the "rough" side - no table linens here. The wine list is lacking. The food however is quite decent.
This is a neat place right on the river that was built in an old school. The inside has been meticulously redone and now has rooms to stay in, a tasting room and banquet hall, and full restaurant and bar. Stop in for a bite before or after fishing. The food is amazing and made with care!
I was there for a wedding and the place was beautiful. Penty of space at the facility. It's like a destination wedding place here in central NY. It reminds me of a very modern Adirondack lodge. Large vaulted ceilings all exposed beams. The food was outstanding. The best wedding food I have had.
Very nice atmosphere...great staff who are friendly and accommadating...indoor heated pool..hot tub outside..beautiful location for wedding and work functions..
Such a beautiful place. There were people setting up for a wedding/ reception when we stumbled in on a road trip. We also found a tasting room where the bride and her friends were, a hotel and restaurant. The restaurant was small with limited seating and a limited menu, most likely due to covid. Our waitress was very friendly and during conversation she informed us that the building/ business used to be the old Altmar high school. That was interesting. Although the menu had limited options, it was not difficult to be torn between choices. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely stop again if in the area. I highly recommend this establishment.
We had a wonderful time! Great food and awesome beverages. The customer service was spot on! Very friendly disc golf course even for anyone who may be a beginner. We don't live nearby but this we will worth the trip. We most certainly will be back again soon!
Food was good I had the Southern Fried Chicken just very overpriced Fried Chicken that you could get at KFC. Waitress was horrible. But the time was great with friends
Mother's day brunch went very smoothly. Everything was very organized, the food was delicious, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. We did not wait very long for seating. We waited in the tasting room, which provided excellent entertainment as well as beer, wine, soda and water. Staff came to get us when they were ready to seat all of us. Thanks to all of you at Tail Water for making our Mothers day a special one!
Absolutley wonderful. Grounds, accommodations as well as helpful and courteous staff! Experienced a family getaway with children and grandchildren. Swimming and snowshoeing and the moms and grandma enjoyed a spa day! Highly recommend!
I wish someone would have told me about this place before I booked a room elsewhere. The place is gorgeous, very outdoor themed. I had the opportunity to experience the bar and restaurant here. Everything was fantastic, all the food we ordered was all amazing! Not a single complaint from our table of about 12 people.
My wife and I were celebrating our 31st anniversary and since we have celebrated many before this, wanted try someplace different. We are very happy that we chose the Tailwater Lodge. The short drive from Syracuse was picturesque. We were greeted by a friendly Hostess and even though we didn't have reservations, were seated immediately. Our waitress, Jenny, was friendly and attentive. The soup of the day was a delicious turkey soup with a slight kick to it. We then ordered stuffed crab cakes that were very good. We both ordered the Salmon entree that cam with a house salad that all of the salad dressing were home made. The Salmon was cooked to perfection and was served with brown rice and sting beans that were perfectly Al dente. Even though we didn't think we could eat another bite, the waitress teased us with the dessert, and gave us a few minutes to decide. One of the desserts being home made ice cream that was just made that day. So even though we were full, we indulged in the home made ice cream that was topped with Toasted Coconut and fresh strawberries, very good. When the bill came the waitress mentioned that the dessert was on them in honor of our anniversary! Nice Touch. I haven't even mentioned that there is a tasting room with 24 taps, that was unfortunately not open. Two glasses of wine, one beer flight (4 samples in 6 oz. glasses), appetizer, dinner and dessert (that was free), plus tip $132.00. Both of us agreed it was a good choice for our anniversary and will go back again.
Not enough Stars to give a total "10"! A true hidden local gem! The Bar, dinning was great! food was very delicious and a great portion size. we are looking forward to our next visit.
I fish near the Tailwater Lodge and have considered staying there. It looks like a Very Nice Place To Stay, although it's probably a bit on the pricey side but I'm not sure. I may check them out next year and write a better review but from what I hear it's a nice place to stay in Altmar. I have been to their website and its impressive. They were doing some construction work there this past year when I was out for my annual fishing trip in October on the Samon River. The fishing in the area is Always Good even when some say it's slow. I have always been able to catch both Salmon and Steelhead and can usually land my three Salmon limit or one Steelhead and two Salmon. I fly fish and will also catch and release. The area is quite Beautiful but it can be a bit dangerous in some locations so be careful, as there are some deep drop offs, fast currents slippery rocks, mud and algae. I would recommend Corkers and neoprene waiters because the water is very cold. Happy Fishing!
The Taproom at the Tailwater is a neat, cozy place, if a little out of the way. They have a pretty good beer selection, even as upstate bars go. Restaurant area is very roomy, with lots of bar space. The building complex apparently used to be a school. I couldn't tell; all of the renovations are beautiful. The space has a ton of potential. Looking forward to seeing how it does. Will be back soon. 10/10.
We loved our stay at the tailwater lodge. The room was beautiful, spacious, and very modern. Large screen TV, huge bathroom which I would love to have in my own house, beautiful leather chair and ottoman and the bed was incredibly comfortable. and the restaurant was outstanding!!! The food was absolutely out of this world! I highly recommend the Caesar salad it's absolutely the best one I've ever had! the mac and cheese is fantastic the clam chowder I highly recommend if it's a Friday night, and I got the ahi tacos which were fantastic my husband got this wonderful chicken breast with this amazing glaze on it it's nothing like I've ever had before. I also enjoyed the breakfast it was very good and very reasonable. I would love to come here again we had a wonderful time!
Such a beautiful area, the grounds are just lovely. The staff were wonderful, and the food was amazing. We attended a wedding here that was absolutely gorgeous.
