There brook in the background is great. This place is an old style, but we’re ok with it. This is our second stay. The staff is very nice and does everything to help you. Right off the road, but quiet. Nearby town for food. No elevator for second floor. Again, fine for us. No AC, but you don’t usually need it and rooms have fans. The doors are odd, but all work. Let the water run awhile for a hot shower or washing dishes. Good size fridge and stove. Great access to all things Adirondack.

My wife and I had a lovely weekend stay at this inn during the 4th of July weekend. We were mostly in the area for hiking and just needed a place to sleep and relax when not exploring the area. The place was fairly quiet and comfortable. It’s pretty much a full apartment with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The place is a little dated but we didn’t mind at all because it had everything we needed at a reasonable price. The only complaint I have is that one day after a long hike we came back to shower and didn’t have hot water. Thankfully it only happened one day. Hopefully this is resolved going forward. We’d love to stay there again in the future.

This was a really nice little place to stay. It's basically a small apartment with all the amenities it has. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything i needed. The only negative thing i could say, which is no fault of the property owners, is that there is no cellular service.

This is a great find. Everything is very bare bones but for the price and location it is worth it. It is very quiet and comfortable. The kitchenette is a great addition!
