Great for hikers!

Excellent stay! Very flexible in supporting hikers - grab and go breakfast made the night before. A banana would make a nice addition. The pizza on Saturday was amazing! Friendly and helpful owners!

Room was very comfortable but paint was peeling and was a bit worn. Walls very thin so could hear talking from other rooms.Unfortunately we tried to go to restaurant but it was very crowded at 530pm so we went somewhere else, it looks nice! Check in was easy and everyone so nice .I would stay again but probably try for the lodge or end room , it would help to have a Keurig or coffee maker in room.PERFECT location for high peaks hiking !!! Cute fireplace outside and swing !!! People so NICE !!!

The packed breakfast is cute! And the little common dinning area is also cute and very quiet. The playroom is awesome, played some pool, ping pong and foosball! The Au Sable river running behind the property is also beautiful.

A perfect little inn that I'll definitely be coming back to. Clean, comfortable, affordable, homey, all the amenities I need, convenient parking, easy check in/out, great location- close enough to most any hike in the area. Very easy to tell the owners take pride in their place. Thanks again for the stay Amy and Wayne.

This is a really beautiful property. Close to all the restaurants and hikes. I was just there and hiked Whiteface Mt with my wife. I highly recommend this place. Especially because you’ll make new friends when they have a firepit outside

Charming family run place to stay. Unfortunately the unrelenting rain prevented our enjoying the fire pit and lawn games. A river runs way behind the property and the beautiful sound was an unexpected bonus.

The inn is kind of ramshackle. We stayed in "Wilderness." The private bathroom had been updated (though the workmanship was rough), but the rest of the room was just old and worn. We realized that we should have brought food to cook for breakfast after seeing the paper bag breakfast provided (need a hearty breakfast before a big hike.) There was coffee in the lobby in the morning but with a sign not to fill large cups, so maybe go to Stewart's if you like more than a 12 oz cup. I will find a better option for my next trip to the Adirondacks.

Love it. Definitely going back.

My girlfriend and I LOVED this place. It's not the Marriot or some chain, so it's a bit unique and has quirks, and that's why it's awesome. The room was small but comfortable, the bed very comfy. There was no TV in the room, which I really liked. Great shower. Outside there was a little deck with chairs so we could relax, listen to the Ausable River and look at the lovely grounds. There was also a restaurant area (closed while we were there) that we could sit in for meals or just to hang out. Cool decorations everywhere (and a TV, if you really needed one). And a small game room with foosball, pingpong and a pool table. Fire pit with chairs. Oh, and they provided a nice bagged breakfast with an egg, granola bar, orange, juice box -- basically a good hiking snack. And the staff were very friendly and helpful.
