I really liked my cabin, management offered me an upgrade from my original booking, and all of the cabins are well lit which is a plus when having a fire at night! Would stay here again!

Very cute little chalet. Everything felt well maintained and clean upon arrival. The property was quiet and felt private. Loved that there was a fire pit right outside of our chalet. Communication with the owners and check in/out was super easy. Would love to stay there again

Genuinely if you’re in the area and seeking a tranquil little refuge. Look no further. Take it from a guy (me) who books everything last minute. I just happened to pick this place after a long day of hiking and traveling, only to discover how nice it was after. Clean cabins with wonderful owners. Close to everything in the nearby towns, but feels like you’re deep in the woods for a retreat. 10/10.

Stayed one night due to passing through the area. The bedrooms are tight with 2 beds in each. Good place to stay for a couple of days to tour the area. The Spruce will sleep 6 people comfortable. Would stay again for the value.

We booked the small "Balsam" Cabin at Wilderness Inn which is a very cozy cottage in the woods. Even if its getting colder there is a fire place and a well working heating. We felt welcome right from the start. Everything was arranged with care: matches for the fireplace, coffee capsules, sufficient towels. In addition, the location is excellent next to Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge.
