I have only good things to say about this place. I used Expedia to make the reservation. After…read morereading mostly wonderful reviews I was really curious and anxious to check out Mountain Brook Lodge myself. Plus, we were attending the Whiteface Oktoberfest and it was a perfect location in the little town of Wilmington just a short drive from our point of our interest. Before hitting the road, we called the owner to make sure he was expecting us because we knew we'd be arriving late. It wasn't a problem, he even told us to drive carefully and not to hurry. He was very comforting saying our room will be ready and waiting for our arrival. He gave us the room's number, so we could focus only on getting to our destination and not worry about anything else. After arriving I was deeply touched. Our room was not only ready for us, but with warm lights, a quiet TV on, and a slowly spinning ceiling fan. We felt extremely invited. The atmosphere was homey and cozy. After many hours on the road it was exactly what we needed and even more. Our accommodations were clean and pretty. Even the shower had a new curtain for us. Breakfast was basic, but I don't have bagels often and it was like a treat, toasted with butter and cream cheese, yum! There was more stuff to eat but I remember the delicious bagels the most and hard boil eggs of which I'm a big fan. I met the owner and shared my appreciation for his hospitality. He has a dog. The dog looked like a statue at first, but he was just chilling and it was easy to take picture of him. This unusual looking fellow was seated perfectly still for my photo and got little bit excited around my breakfast, but so was I, so it was totally understandable. After that I knew he was alright. The breakfast area was a great spot for having a morning meal or coffee during the day or just relaxing reading paper etc. Our room wasn't with 'a view' like I expected, but honestly I didn't know what to expect. The biggest window was in the front, a typical motel style setting. During the day, being located closer to the road could be little bit annoying because of the traffic noise. The nights were super quiet. It was good place to stay.

The second story new construction has doors that don't close properly, and be prepared for a lot of ants. It's a shame, we travel to the area 3 times a month (about 10 days) customer care means a lot to me. I can only imagine the other White Rainbow lodging is the same.

It really felt like a country cottage without seeming run down or outdated. The pictures of the rooms are accurate in my experience, which I haven't always found in other small hotels being a bargain shopper. Shelley and Don who run the Cadence Lodge (I assume they are the owners) were totally friendly and accommodating. Also, they have a restaurant at Cadence from Thursday through Sunday which was great. I went there one night and also went out to dinner in Lake Placid another night, and my meal at Cadence was definitely better. The proximity to Whiteface, a 5 minute drive, can't be beat. The next time I am in the Lake Placid area I will not shop around, I will just stay at Cadence for sure.

We discovered by unplugging an alarm clock that was going off around 2:00 a.m. that the light in that plug had electrical tape all around the end of it with wires poking out. We unplugged that too. We woke to 62 degrees in the room although the thermostat was set on 69 degrees. The outlet on that wall wouldn't work in the morning, although it worked the night before. We had to move the coffee pot to the opposite wall to use it. We packed up and left around 9:00 and our room was already unlocked (it was a code to get into the room). I left a note on the desk but haven't heard back from the motel.

Every day, a portion was set aside where I just sat on the deck or in the jacuzzi & stared at Whiteface Mountain. The view could not be beat in my opinion....until we actually went up to the peak of Whiteface Mountain! Wow!!!! A humbling experience & even though it terrified me, my family loved it & we were blown away by it's majesty. Hiking trails are nearby & the quaint village of Wilmington is only a 3 minute drive. As is Adirondack Chocolates! We came to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of my husband's passing. When ever my husband & I traveled, one thing we did was find a chocolatier & he would spoil me! So to discover this tiny town has one where the truffles are made on site was so special for me. They so have so many unique gifts & the BEST hoodies in their gift shop Our hosts, Judi & Aseem, were simply wonderful. They called to greet us the day we arrived. I mentioned the tiny liquor store was closed, so we were unable to purchase a bottle of wine to toast my husband. They came by the next day with two bottles from their private stock & we had a lovely conversation. Simply delightful, & gracious hosts. Truly touched my heart. Highly recommend ANY of their properties. You will NOT be disappointed & won't want to leave! We will be back for sure!! Thank you for such a memorable, worry-free vacation

We had the privilege of staying in the 100 Acres section of the campground for a few nights in July and loved everything about our stay. The campground consists of two sections; the Resort section and the 100 Acre woods section (just 50 yards down the road). The resort section is located near the office and is a nice, more open, but spacious RV camping area. The 100-acre section is a wooded campground beautifully arranged and maintained. We stayed in the 100 Acres area and were very impressed with the layout of the sites, which were staggered/angled to put the most space between each site. We felt very secluded even though there were other sites around us. Our site was level, spotlessly clean and manicured, and had good water pressure and hookups. The combination restrooms/bathrooms were clean and conveyed a sense of regular maintenance being provided to them. Customer service is top notch and the staff prides themselves on welcoming guests as family. We overheard a current employee talking to a new employee stating that even if the campsite wasn't used prior to a new guest arriving, they always do a thorough check of the site to ensure everything is perfect! This impressed us and aligned with the overall sense of pride shown at NP campground. The camp store is probably one of the best stocked stores we have visited. Additionally, they had growler fills from 3 craft beers of tap right in the camp store!! We loved our stay at North Pole Resorts, which raised the bar pretty high for other campgrounds to live up to!

The food is typically quite good. The building is beautiful and perfect for a romantic dinner. I LOVE the yoga instructors.

There are definitely worse places around, so we will continue to patronize New Vida and enjoy it for everything it is.

Cons.... THE GUY WHO RUNS THE PLACE!!! I made the reservation over the phone, and I noticed the guy was a bit brusque over the phone. When we first got to the motel, there is a sign on the driveway that says "no U-turn in driveway." When I got to the front desk, there was another sign, that said, "no directions. Motel guests only.". I assume it was the same guy over the phone that checked me in, because he was again extremely brusque. I tried to make friendly conversation. We were up for a special event, I told him why we were up, and he simply said, "that's nice, sign here...". Also, inside the room, there was a sign that said bicycles are not allowed inside the rooms. You are expected to keep your bicycles out in the open overnight. Oh.....That could go well... Now here's where we get to the good part... He quoted me $140 over the phone. I booked with him over the phone because there was only a couple of dollars more than they were asking on Booking.com. The next day, when I checked my credit card, he had charged me $190! When I called him to ask about it, at first, he said, "let me look into it." And then, just like that, he said, oh, yes. I remember you. I quoted you 169, not 140, And I told you that there would be a credit card service charge. However, you didn't bother to listen. And then, he hung up on me. Now, I am going to have to dispute this with my credit card company, and it's probably going to be a he said,/ he said situation. Stay away from this place, you will get ripped off.
