Stay away! Rodent infested house!…read more We rented out the entire Hoot Owl Lodge, as this was a new offer because of the current pandemic (instead of individual rooms). First, it was apparent that the owners had not prepared the house to be rented as an entire unit. It lacked basic cleaning and kitchen supplies and the floor was very dirty. Second, we discovered there was a major rodent problem after the first night. We saw mice in the bedroom, living room, kitchen and a chipmunk was also in the house. There were also droppings throughout, including the frying pan, bed, couch and floor (see photos). Third, were the way the owners responded. They immediately got defensive and told us they never had this problem before (even though there was mouse poison in the pantry). They set traps, one of which basically fed the mice for 5 days (as was evident by the mouse droppings around the trap). When we expressed our concern about the condition of the house, they said they would reimburse us a small portion of the money we paid for the week. Then, they decided to go back on that arrangement by accusing us of leaving the house dirty. We did forget to take the garbage out on the last day and we left some clean dishes out on the counter to air dry. Otherwise, the house was exactly the way we found it. The unprofessional owners decided to deduct money from our deposit as well. I should also mention that the house was in bad shape, despite having a major rodent problem. The chimney was falling apart, there was a leak in one of the porch's, and one of the shower stalls did not even work! We have stayed in many places around the world, including hostels that were cleaner than this place! I would NEVER stay here as a whole house or single room rental. Stay Away!

Such a gem! Very well appointed B&B in an amazing location with caring, attentive owners. Not sure…read morewhy anyone would mention food as concern? The breakfast selection was great and the owner bakes her own danish, donuts, coffee cake that were to die for! Would definitely recommend and will be back as soon as I have another free weekend. Perfect place to get away from it all! Thanks Kelly and Tony!

This is extremely unhygienic as bed bugs burrow into the mattress. Since there is a bed bug infestation issue, why would management decide to skimp on a mattress cover to help consumers not be bitten by bugs burrowing in their unprotected mattress? This is cheap and thoughtless. Very disappointed and disgusted. My and my partner's backs are literally covered with bites and itch all night long. So horrible, shame on you.

After a few days, I called the nice folks down the road at the Red Top Inn and they let me book a room at a reduced rate so that members of my group could come use the shower. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean. The water was hot and the towels were soft. It's clear that the proprietors take pride in their establishment and it comes through in their service.

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!

I wish there were a Porcupine Inn in every city I visit! Fred is a wonderful host, terrific cook,…read moreand an all around great person to welcome you to Saranac Lake. We stayed 2 nights in late June for a good friend's wedding. The rooms were magnificently kept and if you forgot any type of toiletry - the items were likely already in your room. Not only were toiletries available, but we also had discovered a small stash of mini water bottles, crackers, and snacks in one of the closets. Perfectly thought out preparation and presentation. Because of the old age of the house there is no AC, but rest assured every room comes equipped with a fan or two. Could not have asked for a more perfect weekend in Saranac Lake

I'm giving two stars, honestly because it was cheap and it wasn't TOO NASTY, yet there was still a…read moredecent amount of things that kinda stuck out as a place I'll probably not go to again, at least now I know price isn't everything. It is old, so there were no elevators, which I don't mind (love anything old and creepy honestly) but we were on the third floor, thankfully we were only staying for two nights, so I didn't bring much, but also kinda bit me in the ass later, as the hotel doesn't offer many toiletries. Literal bars of soap the size of my fingertips and packets of shampoo and conditioner. We ended up just buying our own at the store nearby. The shower curtain was disgusting and covered in mildew and mold, the toilet seat was covered in a yellow grime, and the blinds for the windows in the bathroom, and bedroom were caked in dusts. We didn't have a remote for the tv they offered, rather, we had a remote, but not the right one. You could hear EVERYTHING that went on around you. My boyfriend and I woke up probably every thirty minutes, which was even better because we were right next to the stairs, so literally anyone walking up those stairs you could hear them, and we figured they could probably hear us talking at any point. Super fun. It's a nice on the outside hotel, but the insides rough, highly recommend somewhere else!!

I would stay here again. Positives: - 1/2 the price of other brand name hotels - it's an experience - the BBQ restaurant on site (Redneck Bistro) is outstanding - when there are people working there, they are very friendly and helpful - the important stuff in the room was generally clean. Downsides/annoyances: -it's old and a pretty beat up - they don't answer the phone - they don't reply to messages left on voice mail - there is not enough parking and if you get in later you need to find somewhere else to park which is not super easy
