The room was nice and suited our needs. The staff downstairs in the restaurant were wonderful and helped us gain access to the inn and our room as it is a contactless checkin. We dined in the restaurant downstairs and had a fantastic meal.

Beautiful historic inn! We loved all the books and albums! Having a grocery store next door was convenient. Elizabethtown was a short drive to other towns and hiking trails. We loved the beauty of the region and hope to return!

So nice!

The room was so beautiful and clean. Having a record player in the room was really fun and the art through out the inn was also great. Check in was super easy and accommodating to us showing up a little early. We would definitely come to stay and to try the restaurant.

Comfortable for a few nights!

Really lovely spot to stay if you're looking for a more affordable Lake Placid option! Nice mattress and pillows, big spacious bathroom, only a window unit for AC though so be prepared, it was very hot when we stayed. Responsive staff too.

The room was hotter than Haiti and the little window ac didn't coolit much. Not sure if there was a fire we would survive.

Look elsewhere

The room is in terrible condition. Floors, desk, tiles in bathroom, nearly every surface was sticky...bad. My wife thinks it's from what they clean with. Unknown. Sloped floors, dirty bathroom grout, no light in shower. Poor lighting in the bathroom. Old, old and needs updating. Bed was good. But the rest, blah. Oh and the doorknob fell off when we pulled it...pretty much sums it up.

A true gem! What an unexpected treasure! We loved staying here. Great room and loved the record player. We had heard how nice the rooms were so the real surprise was the restaurant. Quite high end preparation, delicious food, great service and all wrapped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We’ll be back soon.

Hidden gem! Make your reservation for dinner at the restaurant…locally sourced, fresh, unique options…sooo good! Amazing specialty drinks, too! Friendly and welcoming staff. Cozy accommodations. Who needs tv when there’s a turntable and an eclectic collection of vinyl to choose from? Sit on the floor and choose your favorites to be transported to your teen years…my husband and I had so much fun talking music after an enjoyable dinner. We’ll be back!!!
