Room Specifications

We stayed at Friend’s Lake Inn over the Columbus Day weekend, and I have to say my wife and I loved every moment of our romantic getaway. We stayed in the Great Lakes room which was very clean and comfortable. The room has an amazing stone wood-burning fireplace which made the room very warm and cozy - perfect for an evening of romance in the Adirondacks. The staff are very friendly, courteous, and accommodating; especially Nicole and Betty…they were fantastic! The bartender gave us a list of restaurants to check out and he was right on point. The chef recommended we check out Gore Mountain and take the gondola ride up to the top. There are no words that can describe the view we experienced. Nothing but mountains and fall foliage for miles - it's so romantic! Next year, we are bringing the family back to the Adirondacks and staying in the cabin. Can’t wait to get back!

The property has 9 miles of trails in the back so you don't even need to drive. There is a trail to the lake across the street which has beautiful views. The food truly is fine dining as well (get the pancakes for breakfast!!). I spent almost all of my time on my private balcony enjoying the fall views. Staff are friendly and will go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. I cannot wait to return.

We stayed here with a few other couples for a weekend in January, and the beautiful inn, comfortable room, and welcoming staff made for a relaxing, much-needed romantic getaway in the Adirondacks. We stayed in the Lake Placid room and loved the gas fireplace, reading in the window seat, and relaxing in the steam shower and slipper tub. There is a Keurig machine in the room, but no refrigerator. There is a very small dorm-size fridge in the common room that will hold small items but is shared by all guests. Breakfast was delicious, and you can take your meal to your room if you feel more comfortable.

Do “rustic” and “pampered” contradict each other? Not at Friends Lake Inn. The Adirondack decor and secluded setting tell you you’re out in the wilds, but the room amenities, indulgent dining, and super-friendly staff will make you feel like royalty. We stayed in the Mirror Lake room, featuring a fireplace, private entrance, and deck - the perfect spot for romantic getaways. The recently redecorated Adirondack dining room was also a highlight, with hand painted murals gracing the walls. The winter salad, filet mignon, salmon and risotto, pumpkin turtle cheesecake, and hazelnut crème brûlée were all scrumptious. Best of all, the atmosphere is laid back and every staffer we met did everything in their power to assure that we enjoyed our romantic weekend away. We will be back!

We love everything about our two night stay at this amazing hotel in Upstate new York! From the moment we walked through the doors of the inn we were treated like family. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel so comfortable and welcoming. Our room was absolutely beautiful overlooking the lake and our dinner and breakfast were so delicious each day. The hotel hosts trails behind the inn and snow shoeing equipment was available complimentary. The also offered a sauna opportunity after a long exhausting day on the trails. We couldn’t have stumbled onto a better place to call our home for our romantic couples getaway. As we got ready to leave and we said goodbye they said “we hope to see you again soon” and we said absolutely-we can’t wait!
