“Great spot for us”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We were treated very well by the owner of the Inn. I had surgery up there Friday morning, and she had a room ready for us at noon which was 3 hours early at no extra charge. We got a nice deal on a queen room with early check in, and we will be back this summer. Real close to McDonald's and drug store adjacent to the property with a great view in the back of the lake and the mountains. Room was very clean, very quiet there as well. The only thing was the wifi was incredibly slow, other than that we will be back. Who needs the internet while you are up there anyways, leave your laptop at home and enjoy the area I say. Thanks A lit for a very pleasant stay, we recommend this place for a clean room if you are in the area.

“I can go there again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Spent 3 nights there with my family during 2012 New Year's Eve. A fairly reasonable price, and a very, and I mean VERY, clean little lakeside motel in the heart of Lake Placid. I am trying to remember any negatives, perhaps they need to increase the wireless speed and add a sofa in the room :) ...that is it. The location is great, not a cottage setting, but definitely worth the price ! Walking distance to Main St. (~ 10 minutes by the lake), 1 minute to Rite Aid, 2 minutes to Hannaford and Price Chopper. And best of all, we were central to many area attractions. Very positive experience indeed.

Room Tip: - Get a Lake view room, definitely worth the price premium ! - Get the cottage if you can afford th...

“Great little place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here for an extended weekend while we were in the area for a wedding. We stayed in the main building on the second floor. Although the rooms are smaller, they are clean and have everything you need, including a little refrigerator. The location is great because you can walk a few minutes down the road and be at the main street of Lake Placid to explore all the little shops and restaurants.

“Wonderful Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

We stayed with another couple in the Cottage. The whole place was immaculate and very comfortable. Easy walking distance to town. Beautifully situated right on Lake Placid. Wonderful in December, can't wait to see it in June!

“Perfection Found”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

Lakeside location. Lofted bedrooms. Pristine cleanliness. Friendly hostess. Within the village but not on the main drag. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Price was also right. Perfect for four friends.
