What a great stay. My travel was disrupted, and Jenny was kind, understanding, and communicative. The Inn is cute and authentic. The location is stunning. I only regret being able to stay just one night (cancelled flight), it was a warm and I felt welcomed. ##### Reed Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guillermo Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner is simply amazing such a sweetheart her energy and charisma are the greatest treat to stay in the hotel she did everything possible to keep me comfortable and she was available for anything that I could need I was there to be part of a race in the area she made sure to help me with anything that I needed .. the place is neat and clean and well taken care of.

This place was right in the route. Jenny greeted us and showed us around. My son wanted to fish in the nearby lakes, so we did fished, and then went to a nearby pub for dinner. Jenny had called the pub for us to make sure they were open. Each room of the Inn is unique and feels so luxurious. All the linens, pillows, towels are just top notch. My son wants to stop here every trip to college. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hospitality of the staff especially Ginny the owner of this fine establishment was very helpful and were great to chat with regarding the region of the Adirondacks.
