This past week was our second visit to the Bark Eater Inn. I can't compliment this place enough…read more It's close to various hiking trails as well as Lake Placid. Also, if you want to explore the inn's 200 acres of forest, fields and meadows you'll easily have your fill of nature without having to drive to a trailhead. I loved my morning walks through seemingly endless fields of wildflowers and then visiting the pond. Also, the farm fresh breakfast is incredible with Meghan & Tyler being the best hosts of any B&B I've been to in recent years.

The rooms are gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful with surrounding mountain vistas and stream. It's conveniently located with just a quick drive to Lake Placid, Keene Valley, and the Cascade xc ski park. Our hosts made us feel so welcome. There's a mini guest kitchen we used to store some of our snacks we brought and many nooks and places to enjoy meals if you don't feel like eating out. We loved our time there and can't wait to continue to visit.

With reservations in hand, we were excited to come here for dinner and we were not disappointed! Service was top notch from start to finish and the atmosphere is cozy, rustic and upscale all at the same time. Food and drink were wonderful....my old fashioned was perfect and our appetizers were terrific. Loved the refreshing watermelon salad and let me assure you there was nothing left of the charcuterie board! My mother-in-law and I both had steak, which had an amazing sauce. My husband had the fish based on the recommendation from the folks at the next table and he loved it. We split a Bailey's creme brulee for dessert and even thought we were stuffed from dinner and didn't think we could eat another bite, we demolished that dessert in no time flat. If you're coming to Lake Placid and want a fine dining experience, make a reservation here. I didn't have a bad meal while in LP, but this was the best one by far.

We absolutely loved our stay at Dartbrook lodge. Not only is it very close to a bunch of the high…read morepeaks, it was comfortable and clean. The shower is amazing! It's a rain shower. Luxury after hiking all day. The gas fire place was perfect to cozy up next to. Especially after a cold and rainy fall day. We had a sleep number bed, so my husband and I could choose our own comfort. Anna was very pleasant and kind. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone we know. As a side note, if you are looking for a place to stay that's close to a lot of food options or shops. This is not it. Most places close early or are not open every day of the week. A bunch of the cabins have a kitchen in it, but not all. This did not bother us! We found local small places to eat within 10 Minutes of Dartbrook.

They have thought of every detail from an umbrella to use, to recycling bin. Shower was tiled with rock adding to the rustic-chic appeal. The cottages were surrounded by fields or wild flowers and a creek which were both beautiful. However, I'd envisioned a more secluded more mountainous setting.

This is a restaurant review, cannot comment on inn. Also would be 4.5 if possible…read more If you're looking for private, personal, and comfortable dining experience this is a great place to go. It seems the way this place is setup is there are only a handful of tables and each reservation is off-set by about 30 minutes. As other review state it is a husband (the chef) and wife (head waitress) duo who head this restaurant inn. I booked the reservation over a month in advance and I'm pretty sure it is necessary if you plan to go. The food- Fantastic and Different. Wild Boar Sausage - this was delicious, possibly the best sausage dish I ever had. This dish was literally bursting with flavor served with red wine sauce and mushrooms. Elk Loin - Delicious and before you ask, no it wasn't gamey! The service - Great personal service from the staff, however sometimes the head waitress let her opinions be known. She made it clear that she wasn't exactly happy with all the out of town business she was getting from their rave reviews. She also made odd comments on what she thought was proper male-female etiquette when the two of us were clearly joking about who was paying the bill. She also made a sarcastic comment saying she couldn't believe that we actually had manners enough for me to let my significant take the seat being held out for her, stating that most couples leave her speechless when the male takes the seat being held out. The service itself was great but some of her comments could have been left out even if she didn't mean anything by it. The price - VERY REASONABLE. Two appetizers, two entrees and a bottle of wine, about $100. The atmosphere - Business Casual? Lodgey clothes here. The place itself literally is set in the living room of the inn, but they take a lot of pride in the restaurant and I would dress the part. Again there are only a few tables, and reservations are off-set so it is very intimate. Overall - Delicious Exotic Game cooked the way you have never had it! Very intimate, romantic atmosphere! Good yet opinionated service. A can't miss if you're visiting lake placid!

For our 8th annual Sisters' Gathering, we chose Paradox Lodge and it perfectly met our needs and…read moreinterests. Located a few blocks from "downtown" and, therefore, in a bit of a quieter area, this B&B has a Adirondack-meets-Lake Placid Olympics-meets-comfy-retro feel to it. Rustic touches abound everywhere, the grounds, which abut the end of Lake Placid, have thoughtful and colorful plantings, hanging flower baskets, old milk cans, wooden skis, Radio Flyer Wagons, and bird houses. We took advantage of the 3 kayaks, and there is also a canoe. We lazed away afternoons on rocking Adirondack chairs, wooden chaises, and enjoyed our home-made meals (there is a refrigerator that guest can store food in, which is a really generous touch) under the twinkling, nighttime lights of the umbrella-d picnic table, The rooms are decorated with much attention to detail, the beds were super comfy, although the Lodge is on the main drag, even with the windows wide open we did not hear a sound from the McDonald's across the street, the sink mounted on an antique Singer Sewing Machine table is cool, the clawfoot mini-tubs are fun, although a little difficult to maneuver in and out from because the shower curtain is attached all the way around. A really good breakfast, prepared mostly by Moses/Red, co-owner with his wife, Nan, is served with panache (and a tableside visit and stand-up comedy from Red), vintage plates, and, wait for it...the New York Times! Both Red and Nan share their thoughts, hiking and swimming hole suggestions and local and national/political gossip. From the location, to the decor, to the hospitality, to the great sleep, the lakeside view and kayaks, the hiking, walking, drinking, eating, and blabbing that we did, we could not have asked for more.

The common areas of the lodge are clearly given plenty of care. The area by the river was delightful! Breakfast was better than what is provided by most places nowadays, with great eggs, muffins, and more. Best of all may have been the owner, who gets five-stars-plus for her hospitality! As another reviewer had said, I hesitate to leave a review because it's tempting to keep the lodge a "hidden gem." Heehee. To note for light sleepers who are not early risers: The suite is adjacent to the kitchen, so it is fairly easy to hear the early morning food prep, particularly from the room with the twin beds. Bringing an extra fan or sound machine would probably be a good idea.

We were charmed. PROS - Location location location. The cabins are located right in the center of things, never more than 30-45 min from all mayor hikes. - Cozy and comfortable. Each cabins comes equipped with most basic amenities (coffeemaker, toaster, pots and pans, dishes, silverware and glassware) - Parking is very close to each cabin, so you never have to walk more than a few steps. CONS - Wifi, even though it was offered we had mixed feelings on this. My boyfriends phone picked it up right away, mine never did. This was from our cabin, so perhaps if you were closer to main house it would have been better? I think they need a better wifi connection. - No microwave. I wish I had ask more specific questions. - Not that many hooks in the cabin. We did long winter hikes and needed a way to hang our clothes only to realize that there weren't that many hooks. We improvised by hanging in curtain rods and on the doors. This could be quite helpful. Overall, it was a good value for the money. Wayne is a great host. We never made it to the main cabin so perhaps some of the above would have been different.

We stayed the first time when I had an asthma attack from the hotel on top of the hill and had to get out and take a walk to breathe. I was looking up possible other hotels and saw the sign for the Haus. I found the number and called and Mr. Michael was amazing and was able to get me and my son a room! It was clean, pretty, and we had everything we needed and loved being right on Main Street. We were able to walk wherever we wanted and after we wanted to stay longer. Yulia the manager moved us to the room across the hall since ours was taken and we wanted to stay longer and ended up in number 10 for the past 2 nights. What bliss! The staff was amazing! They were available easily by text or phone and accommodated us with any need we had! Towels... change of sheets, cleaning. We went back again the following year, last year 2023 and stayed in another suite since the ones we wanted were not available but without fail, we loved everything about our stay! This time dad came along and he enjoyed it too. Needless to say, we look super forward to being there again this year! Third year in a row! Thank you!
