We were looking for a nice calm relaxing place away from home but not too far away to escape some of our daily stress for one night. Forgot about the rowdy snowmobile season

If you like glamping
Where do I start:
1. the check in process
2. No thermostat in the room. It was way too hot. I had to open the window to breathe.
3. No housekeeping service
4. The fact that you wanted a tip for housekeeping service that I didn't receive
5. The stupid daily texts
6. No microwave
7. Couldn't watch MNF
8. Having to limp up a flight of stairs carrying a 64lb bag
9. No dresser. So I lived out of my suitcase
10. No plowing of parking lot or shovelling of walkway. Almost slipped and fell several times.

Nous avons passé un très beau week end entre amie. Le personnel était agréable et l'ambiance cozy friendly était parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était super et offert toute là journée puisque le resto est fermé pour la saison. La chambre était propre et la vue sur le lac était incroyable. Il y a également plusieurs endroit différents pour se reposer, lire et relaxer.
Près du village pour se divertir, manger ou s'amuser. Près également de plusieurs endroits pour randonnée ou faire du vélo. Nous avons fait la Black bear mountain et Bald mountain.
Assurément que j'y retournerai en été pour essayer les activités nautiques puisqu'un quai est disponible.

Have spent a lot of my life on weekends (weeks) in the ADK mountains. This place is a secret gem not far from home for us. Perfect location, beautiful view of 4th lake, awesome cozy rooms - cabins!! We can not wait to come back here again!! Wish bar and restaurant were open Sunday & Mondays, but there was a great little place (Mountain Smokehouse Grill) just up the road north on 28 a mile!! Thank You!!

Honeymoon Suite Stay
We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite! It was fantastic. The room was great, the TV arm rotated so it could be viewed from anywhere in the room and there was access to streaming platforms. So awesome for a cozy night away :)

Tv remote difficult to use for those not familiar with Samsung tv. Light in room was horrible, too dark. Breakfast was available on Friday morning if you used the QR code on the menu and have it delivered to your room. We tried but the only menu found on there was for beer, spirits and wine. No breakfast menu was found, so we checked out and went into town for breakfast. Not sure we will select this accommodation again.

Literally got the best sleep of any hotel stay. Almost opted to extend my stay because my rest was THAT good!
