After 42 miles on the trail individuals in the group had some equipment issues that needed immediate attention before committing to the next 45 mile section of trail. We were not anticipating staying in Piseco but it was a must. We approached this picturesque historical Adirondack property (not far from Piseco Bob's and the NPT trailhead) after 4 days on the trail... without a shower... to inquire about rooms to sort our issues in a dry place. We smelled like a gang of wet bears that just emerged from hibernation... wandering a hot landfill for food; absolutely repulsive. The inn keeper, Jen, is very accommodating to hikers. She was able to rent us 3 rooms (cheaper than any mainstream hotel ...anywhere on the planet), offered us hot coffee, and assisted us in finding laundry services to clean our heavily punished clothing. We were also invited to the $12 breakfast buffet and told to make ourselves at home while on the property (kayaks, beach, porch, etc). Jen and her staff are amazing humans and infinitely accommodating. They are truly the unsung trail angels of the NPT.

I tried to discreetly report this to this to the general manager so that they could address it. The manager yelled at me, spoke over me, and called me "trouble". I would not trust these people with your families. I had my two little boys with me and I am very disappointed with myself for trusting this place with their safety. The box springs looked to be about 20 years old and weren't wrapped. Additionally the jetted tubs were dingy, there were lots of overgrowing weeds, and the bolts in the waterfront Adirondack chairs were loose. We stayed on Friday June 29th. We were staying at the motel for the weekend to attend a funeral and wake on Sunday July 1st. We were also planning to celebrate my husband's birthday on Saturday. We drove an extra 4 hours to go home Saturday and come back Sunday since we couldn't stay here with 2 little children who were very unhappy to be in the car. I had to clean my funeral attire on hot heat to destroy any bed bugs and damaged my dress shoes. I had to spend my Monday morning before work going to the doctor look at the bites. I can only imagine what other unsafe conditions exist at this motel. I would not trust them with my family again. It is a shame that they are ruining such a beautiful location with mismanagement and also soiling the reputation of a great area.

The people at the barn were very friendly and helpful. The trails could have been a little clearer, but it was still an enjoyable ride. There are many other activities you could do, like kayaking, hiking, ziplining, jungle rope, three pools, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and more. The main lodge was a log cabin, with beautiful views and a couple of fireplaces. I had expected the decor inside to be more rustic (Yellowstone-ish), but some areas were not, which was a little disappointing. The food was nicely presented and delicious. But the time it took from ordering to actually getting the food was very long. The meals, I thought, were pricey for what you got. Also, there are two different menus. Ours was the same 3 or 4 entrees for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for the entire 4-day stay. We went off the property for a couple of meals to have something different. There is a gift store on the property, which is in great need of a facelift. The people who work there were very nice and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were easy.

As you arrive you are greeted by the huge barn that says "1000 Acres" The place screams dude Ranch. The resort is cut in half by the road. The horses on one side and the resort on the other. The resort is undergoing some work, but is fully usable with just some rooms being renovated. The barn needs work and it is obvious that it is being neglected. There is a arena for rodeos that goes unused but was busy in the past. The petting zoo is more like look at animals in the fenced in area. The riding is enjoyable, Hedi who handles everything horses, is incredible, but has to deal with promises made by management that cannot be fulfilled. She is knowledgeable, friendly and willing to explain anything despite her busy schedule. Five stars for her and the other barn staff, but then you get to the resort. This place has a reputation as a dude ranch. They advertise a multitude of rides and ride types. They advertise a rich menu (Kosher). "After a full day of ranchin', you're going to be hungry! Our evening dinners offer a variety of delicious menu options to get you ready for tomorrow's adventures." The variety of delicious menu options for dinner is completely false. You have basically 2 options, take it or leave it. We were given Beef every night, if you didn't want that, they would go back to the kitchen to see if anything else was available. I get it, it's a Kosher kitchen, but there is far more than the same cut of beef that is kosher. There is not even courses to dinner. No salad, no bread, just the main dish if you want to eat the same thing every day for a week. That said the Beef was delicious, just not every day. Your lunch options are Tuna wrap, Egg Wrap, Salad and maybe if you are lucky a 4th option that changes. The food is delicious, but the menu needs a ton of work. BBQ Chicken, hamburger or Hotdogs would be welcome additions for a Dude ranch. The truth is Management has no idea what they are doing. The manager Joseph, who gladly introduces himself as the owner, has no knowledge and no desire to learn about horses, barn animals or anything this place is known for. The manager proudly tells you the resort was headed in the wrong direction then he took over. His direction as he states "to make this a place where jews going between Montreal and NYC can stop to rest and get a Kosher meal." That's great then advertise it as such. There is no posted schedule for activities. You have to ask as they are only open at certain times. The pools are open, there are kayaks and River tubes available at the shore. Everything else you have to ask when you can do it, that is if they even know. The staff is excellent. They are friendly, and do their able best to make sure you enjoy yourselves. It is obvious that they are hindered in this by management. Quite a few staff members told us that our concerns were common and constantly brought up to management. Management then turns a deaf ear. The resort has so much potential. It is on beautiful property. Again they need to decide are they a dude ranch or a Kosher resort that happens to have horses. As a side note, there is no cellular service on the property. The nearest signal is 2.5 miles away in either direction. They claim the Wi-Fi covers the whole resort however the guest Wi-Fi is spotty at best and only works when near the main resort building. If you rely on a cell phone for anything or need to be constantly connected, you are out of luck here.

The music has been exceptional. The snack shop (TeePee) is great, ice cream cones are huge, sticky buns a great habit. The fact that most of the people on staff and probably most of the guests are followers of Christ makes a difference in the whole atmosphere.

In the summer this place is heaven to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and relaxing. Clean rooms, really clean. The homes or "Tupa's" are very comfortable and home like, although I guarantee you won't be spending much time inside. You can use any of Lapland's amenities such as kayaks, canoes, rowboats, mountain bikes etc - just bring your key to the lake and choose from their good selection.. I went fishing in the lake and caught a couple largemouth (released them back for you too) the lake is not overly large but is fun to explore all of the coves and shoreline. Not to mention swimming and sun bathing on a hot day, I suppose that goes without saying !
