The Alpine Lodge

8/10 Good
"This a nice facility in a great location for exploring the Adirondacks. The property is clean. The staff is attentive. I have two concerns about this hotel. 1. There is some deferred maintenance that requires attention. One example is flooring that is uneven and cracked. 2. The shower is small. They use a shower curtain instead of a glass enclosure or shower door . Once the water is turned on the shower curtain is sucked inward coming into contact with you while you shower. I really don’t like that - especially considering how much the room is charged at per night."

Beautiful cottage on scenic Adirondack hobby farm

Beautiful cottage on scenic Adirondack hobby farm

10/10 Excellent
"I always try to find unique places to stay for my birthday and found this adorable hobby farm! The moment we arrived chickens and a sweet pup, Bella, greeted us! I am always super harsh on beds but these didn’t totally wreck our bodies, like most rentals cheap mattresses do. My kid loved the cute cubby-like bed and said they would look out the window to stare at the stars. The first night we needed firewood and messaged the host to see how I can purchase theirs and she was totally laid back saying I can grab some and we can catch up for payment at a later time. Then a field mouse appeared in the living room via a large hole on the side of the stairs. I messaged the host and by the next morning they dropped off some traps, like I inquired. Wildlife is expected so it didn’t bother me so much. My husband brought his motorcycle and enjoyed the freshly paved and windy fun roads for a couple of hours. We explored other towns and just enjoyed leaf peeping. On our last night we took advantage of the pizza night, which turned out to be delicious and an overall cool concept! We chatted with the host, who is super sweet. We strolled in the historical cemetery next door, acknowledging the many generations who’s lived in the area. If I wasn’t always looking for new and different places to experience this would be (and possibly in the future) be a repeat!! I’ll just note, I always bring a bunch of my own cookware due to a kid with celiac disease but you could get by with what they provide."
