Stayed three nights. The place is gorgeous. The breaksfasts were delicious and plentiful! Never left hungry. Sherry was more then accommodating to us. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Will definitely stay again...can't wait!
We stayed in the Boreas Room, it's located right next to the shared hallway bathroom. We did hear people come and go throughout the night, as well as through the door that leads from the hallway where the rooms are located to the main house. Altogether, the noise wasn't too bad.

We are planning our fifth consecutive year staying at the Trails End Inn coming up this August. Every year has been a wonderful stay. The breakfasts are absolutely to die for. Really wonderful, completely filling and will keep you fueled for a day of hiking the spectacular high peaks in the Adirondacks. We have stayed in the Marcy suite and in the Hurricaine suite - both wonderful suites with private baths and small kitchen facilities (frig, coffee maker, sink). The Marcy suite has a wonderful jacuzzi tub.

When you come home from hiking you will find a plate of fantastic cookies to nibble on as you look through the hiking guides and check the guest reviews of the local restaurants to decide where to dine that evening. There are also a few grills out back that you can use for your dinner, which keeps expenses down.

Although this is a bed and breakfast, and that is true - you get a really comfortable bed and an amazing breakfast, it is not the kind of place where you will be regaled with tales and hovered over by the owners. In fact we have stayed a few times and not seen the owners. For us that is great. I go on vacation to get away, not to make new friends. But I know that for some the bed and breakfast experience is about meeting the innkeepers. I've found all of the servers and bartenders to be very friendly and accomodating, even if for some they might be new at their summer job. Mistakes are always quickly corrected.

Another nice thing about the hotel is that, if you wish to go for a hike after checkout, they have a shower you can use to clean up before getting in the car to go home.

Overall, a lovely place. We'll be back again and again

We recently returned from our first anniversary trip and loved the Trail's End Inn! We stayed in the Skylight room which was one of the three new rooms added to the end of the inn. The new rooms all have fireplaces and jetted tubs. After the cross country skiing and winter hiking, we really enjoyed relaxing in the tub and by the fire.

Breakfast in the morning was excellent. We had french toast, egg quiche, and an egg tart during our stay, and all meals included coffee, juice, fresh fruit and a homemade baked goods. The maple nut scones were fantastic.

The staff is around if you need them, but as noted they give you your privacy. You can use the fireplace, TV, and game room in the main house as needed, and there is always coffee, soda, water and snacks around at all times of the day.

There are plenty of hiking trails nearby Keene Valley, with an excellent diner and small grocery store in town. Lake Placid and Whiteface are an easy drive about half an hour north, with the other Olympic attractions on the way including cross country skiing, bobsled and ski jumping.

We'll be back to the Trail's End Inn for sure.

We first visited Trail's End in 2003 and have returned at least once a year since. We are typically visiting as part of an extended family and use Trail's End as a reunion point of sorts.

We are avid hikers as are most of the other guests so we enjoy comparing hike notes with others. We enjoy starting the day with a cup of their awesome coffee on their expansive front porch; it's a great gathering spot if you've got family and friends in other rooms. We also enjoy meeting on that same porch for post-hike laughs and cold beverages later in the day.

Their breaksfasts are now legendary in our family... and the scones are simply the best we've ever had. We love it when extra scones are "up for grabs" after breakfast!

A recurring theme I saw in other reviews was the lack of "inkeeper sightings". We find this to our liking. If you need them, they are available. If not, they are not in your face. I think this unsettles some first time visitors, especially those who are accustomed to seeing an inkeeper frequently. First-timers are easy to spot and invariably a "regular" steers them in the right direction.

As I type this we are already planning our next visit to Trail's End... can't wait!
