We definitely recommend this property if you're looking for a fun or relaxing time in upstate NY.

First time to Macks Inn - one nice benefit and the biggest draw is that they regularly post their…read morespecials on Facebook. The place looks small from the outside and quite unassuming. Entering the front door all of a sudden the place looked a lot bigger - dining in the front, bar in the back and outside tables too - overlooking Black Lake. There were a couple tables occupied and a sign that said seat yourself so I found a small table near the back. After looking through the menu I decided on the Saturday night prime rib special. The price wasn't posted and with food prices all over the place I'm not surprised but I can report that in June of 2025 it was $28.95. Served with choice of potato and the soup/salad bar. I looked at the salad bar and despite the small size, the variety was really good, everything was fresh. The soup - was excellent. I may not have remembered the name but it was similar to a beef/barley. On to the main course. The prime rib was delivered as ordered (medium rare) with a baked potato and green beans. The meat was so tender and the seasoning on the outside was perfect. The baked potato was large and piping hot. Awesome meal - definitely will be back.

I recently had an incredible experience at the Saint Lawrence Experience in Lisbon, NY, and it…read moretruly exceeded my expectations. The cabins are situated by the beautiful Saint Lawrence River and offer a fantastic retreat for fishing enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking for a memorable getaway. The cabins themselves are delightful, providing breathtaking views of the serene Saint Lawrence River that instantly transport you to a state of tranquility. The weather during my stay was perfect, with clear skies and stunning wildlife, like eagles soaring overhead, adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings. For fishing enthusiasts, this place is a dream come true.

It truly is an angler's paradise. The hosts of the Saint Lawrence Experience are amazing. They provide excellent service and go above and beyond to ensure their guests have an unforgettable time.

Their knowledge and passion for the area's fishing opportunities are evident, and they are always ready to share their expertise. The cabins are clean, cozy, and well-equipped. They have gas stoves, running water, and showers with great water pressure, which is much appreciated after long days on the water. Additionally, the cabins have air conditioning, allowing for a comfortable and relaxing return home after a day of fishing. One standout feature of the Saint Lawrence Experience is the thoughtful provision of wood for campfires, ensuring that your evenings are filled with warmth and the creation of cherished memories. With an ample supply of kindling, small logs, and longer-burning logs, the hosts truly go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need for cozy campfire gatherings. I cannot emphasize enough the magnificence of the Saint Lawrence Experience. It surpassed all my expectations and solidified the Saint Lawrence River's reputation as one of the world's premier fishing destinations.

If this can save ONE Clarkson family from staying here during upcoming Parents' Weekend, then I'm…read moreglad I'm writing this review. The only thing this place has going for it is the proximity to Clarkson. We pulled in around 6 p.m. - you know, as it's getting dark. Not a single light is on - in the front, on the side, nothing. We worried that they'd closed or were having an electrical issue. We entered through the spooky side door. My husband, stepson and I walked up to the front desk and the young man behind the desk said "What's the last name, sir?" I balked. Come on, this is 2023! I thought about letting my husband say HIS last name and letting the young man search, and search, to no avail. Because I made the reservation under MY last name... and that's pretty d@mn sexist of the young man to only address the man! A much better greeting could have been "hi folks... what's the last name on the reservation?" The room was just awful. Peeling wallpaper, dated from at least the 80s. Large mauve and tan paisley print... supposed to look like it's classic from the turn of the century, but it just looked old. Neglected. The carpet made you want to keep your shoes on. They replaced all of the light-bulbs with energy efficient ones that were blindingly white-blue in color, allowing us to possibly perform surgery on the out-dated table in the room. Thankfully the duvet and the sheets were crisp, white and clean. That's what got this place the one star. The bathtub had mildew on many of the tiles, and the tub wouldn't drain so I was standing in 6" of my husband's used water. (See pic below.) The towels were nappy and pilly... all unmatched colors and sizes. The coffee was the only thing at the breakfast buffet that interested us, so we grabbed a few cups -- and it was undrinkable. If you're visiting Clarkson for Family Weekend, you may still be able to re-book elsewhere! Do not stay here! P.S. My stepson says the Hawaiian takeout place across the street is very good.

The steel caught the tires in its grooves and guided my car. I wondered if anyone would be at the border crossing, but it was staffed and I was waved through quickly. Ogdensburg has a motel, perhaps a walmart, some fast food restaurants, but at first I didn't think it had a hotel. I was driving slow in the dark not wanting to hit deer and, then, I even saw some deer. And just then, on the southern outskirts of Ogdensburg I saw the Stonefence resort and motel. It was about 10PM and no one was at the front desk, but there was a phone on the side of the wall and after picking up the receiver, it didn't take long for the owner came driving in. The motel was great - drive up right outside your door. With windows open on two sides of the room, a breeze comes through. It is a very comfortable bed, good wifi, good shower, good climate control. The back door and window looked down to the river. I mostly skip hotel breakfasts but I had the free one her:, made to order - fresh scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes, hot and cooked just right by a friendly member of the staff. The staff people are very helpful. I was moved on, but there is a nice boardwalk-type place on the water, with chairs under a gazebo. There are many, many kinds of rooms. I felt blessed and lucky to have not had to push on 45 miles in the dark toward watertown.

The bed is comfortable with even more comfortable pillows. The TV has more channels than any hotel I have stayed at before and has a TV guide. Free wifi and many outlets to use for whatever. The water pressure is great and can get super hot or super cold. The alarm clock also has USB outlets. The lighting is great and has a full length mirror so is easy to get ready in. They have chairs outside on the little porch that wraps around the motel so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. There is a 7-11 and gas across the street so anything you may need last second is walking distance away. Katie who is one of the owners with her husband live on site and readily available. I did all my booking with Katie through text and she was very responsive and informative. She is super friendly and makes sure you have everything you may need. They have free ice too.
