The best part of the room was the balcony overlooking Fourth Lake. What a tranquil & serene place! Thank you for providing such a fantastic getaway.

Initially, we had a little trouble getting a hold of them to make the reservation, but once we had that taken care of it was pretty much everything we could ask for. We arrived later on in the evening the first night, so we couldn't actually see much around the B&B and went to dinner. We came back, opened a bottle of wine, sat on the back porch, and stared at what was probably the most stars either of us had ever seen. Then we went to bed. When we woke up, we were not expecting what we saw - shrouded in a morning mist (sounds cheesey - but this is the real deal), the back of the place overlooked the Moose River, a calm portion that almost made up a small lake. It was really amazing, and as it cleared up we were just thrilled to have chosen the place. Access to free canoes and kayaks - which we took full advantage of. The landscaping and area leading down to the river was very nice, a great place to relax after a day of being a tourist or after some light kayaking. The river was very nice, meandering with houses here and there along the shore, perfect for a lazy canoe or kayak trip. Also lots of turtles, water birds, etc., I'd imagine the fishing would be pretty good too. They also have a sweet, sort of vintage tandem bike - good times. We went to have breakfast - a really nice continental - and the owners were really lovely. Super friendly and helpful re: getting around and finding things to do, Stuart and Jimmy were really great. They weren't obtrusive, but made sure we were well taken care of. The room was very nice, everything was sort of an Asian/Northwoods/Antique-y mixture that wasn't too gaudy but you still knew you were in a B&B. If you're planning on hitting upstate New York and you want to stay some place affordable (it was $79/night for 3 nights during the week - you can stay at a crappy hotel for that much or more), this is not to be missed. Friendly, beautiful, and really close to perfect to be totally honest - we were fully satisfied and talk about going back whenever it comes up.

The staff at this inn were all very nice & helpful. We enjoyed being just across the street from…read moreenchanted forest since we still have a nap age child- we were able to come & go as we please. While I'm sure this place has a lot of great rooms, we definitely were in probably the worst one. Every room has access to a view of the park or the lake- our room happen to be the only one on the side so our view was the parking lot. We parked close to our room so we could hand bags over the balcony (since we have a baby we have to travel with a lot of stuff). We unfortunately got completely blocked in by a bus (who hit the facility right by our room over 3 times & i had to call the front desk while it was happening because it was RIGHT next to our room & SO SCARY!!) i asked the bus driver repeatedly- over 4 times to move his bus because we could not leave to go to dinner as we were blocked in!! he was so beyond rude & refused to move. He was picking up a bunch of guests and they all just stood around outside of the bus talking for like 30-40 mins. The hotel should NOT have allowed this guy to park there & block so many hotel guests in. Our poor kid who traveled all day was so hungry & we couldn't even go get her dinner because this jerk wouldn't move his party bus that he crashed into the outside of our room. The whole porch (& the inside of the Inn) was FILLED with huge ass spiders, the mini fridge was about big enough for 2 cans of soda & our table was like broken & wobbly/ unsafe for a baby to sit at for sure- the room they had available was 2 queen beds & it was set up like a weird long hallway with beds in the middle- VERY poorly laid out- there was no place the pack & play fit with out being in the way or directly in front of the A/C (ewww) & the a/c unit was FILTHY. My husband liked the continental breakfast so we didn't have to go elsewhere to feed the baby in the morning but honestly would it kill you to have some eggs? Lots of sugar & carbs available tho. Over all it was in a good location but next time we will probably skip the stay & drive the hour back to civilization because the Inn was INNcredibly expensive for what it ended up being. I assume most people don't spend much time at the hotel & unfortunately we just happened to have probably the worst room & a baby who naps for a few hours in the day so we were there a lot.

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at Clark's Beach Motel and our recommendation is to…read moreavoid it. The rating of 1 1/2 stars speaks for itself and I should have known better. My husband had several bites (total of 20+ bites, see photos) appear a short while after each time he slept on our bed. I did not get bitten; however different individuals can experience different immune reactions after being bit. The owner, Garret, was very responsive in checking the mattress and we appreciated that. Garret's conclusion, however, was entirely unacceptable. He said there was no evidence of bedbugs in the mattress and my husband was likely bitten on a hike, etc. Newly hatched bed bug nymphs are tiny and can be nearly see-through, making them almost impossible to detect. And yes, nymphs bite humans! My husband is certain he was getting bit by something in the bed. He asked Garret if we can we can either 1. get a new mattress or 2. move to a different room (there were many vacant rooms available). Garret said no to both options. My husband asked why we couldn't get a new mattress (he claimed that the issue wasn't the mattress) and why we couldn't switch rooms (Garret would have had to pay an additional cleaning fee). My husband said we would be willing to pay the additional cleaning fee (Garret said no). We would have been more than happy to assist Garret and his team in exchanging the mattress. Garret said he would not accommodate us as we trashed the room. Yes, our belongings were strewn all over and we had accumulated garbage in one corner (there is no daily maid service at Clark's) but we never abused the room in any way. We have stayed in many hotels and motels, and in many air b n b's over the years; we have never, ever received a poor review. Attached are pictures of the state in which we left the room. At $180 per night (incidentally the mattresses were awful - when my 150 lb husband sat on the edge of ours, the corner sunk a foot downward), customers should expect more. Garrett's daughter Haley and his wife Heather were polite and very accommodating. Shame on you, Garret, for treating customers this way. Avoid Clark's Beach Motel. There are many other nice options in Old Forge, Eagle Bay, and Inlet.

When we asked what the soup of the day was, the response was "I don't know." Also, the waitress was unaware that appetizers, soups, and salads come before the meal. Not sure that the waitress is to blame, as it was her 4th day on the job. Perhaps fifth. She couldn't remember. Either way nobody seem to be around for her to ask and nobody seem to care about her. On to the food. The menu listed many items that weren't an available including their "famous"Thendara ribeye, the short ribs and grits, maybe the chicken? Hmm. So we got through dinner, and she asked if we like dessert. We asked, "what do you have for dessert?" And she said, ice cream and milkshakes. I think they had other stuff but she could only do ice cream. And what's super cool is that apparently their ice cream came in "colors". Normally it would be "flavors", but at this place it's colors -you can get blue, red or brown. We went for the red and the brown figuring it would be strawberry and chocolate. How to describe the chocolate ice cream. It was soft serve with chocolate lines throughout - however it was actually more like a bowl of soup with a teeny teeny dot of ice cream in the middle. We did ask if she'd mind getting a different bowl and she mentioned that it was the first one out of the softserve machine so maybe that's why it was soupy. So, to make a long review short. pass this one by the next time you're in Old Forge.
