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.

I am so glad we stayed....the location is amazing, and the view from our room was breathtaking. We actually arrived after dark, so we didn't really have an idea of the surroundings when we fell asleep but the inn is just charming inside, so we knew we'd found a gem. The B&B is situated right on the Moose River, and we awoke after a restful evening to birdsong and a clear, lovely day. We stayed in the Farquharson room; it featured a private bath and a large, comfy bed. The picture window was an ideal foil to the morning mist that was just clearing from the Moose River, and once the drapes were drawn back we had a gorgeous, sweeping view of the river and the lush backyard. After getting ready for our day, we headed downstairs and were pleasantly surprised to find several small, cafe-style tables in the dining area. In most B&Bs that we've experienced, there is one large table that can make for a great or horrible experience over breakfast, simply depending upon your table mates. With the small tables, we could choose to talk with our neighbors or not, which is great for one who is not completely sociable prior to her first cup of coffee in the morning. Breakfast was delicious - we started with fresh fruit and yogurt, and then moved on to an amazing, golden-toasty-brown quiche and yummy potatoes. The rates are beyond reasonable and this inn is not to be missed - if you're in the Adirondacks (or just pining for a weekend away), you need to stay here!

I can't speak for all the cabins, but ours was updated and had the loveliest amenities, and it was spacious! All of the windows open and there is a screen door so you can let in the fresh air, but there is also an AC/heater so you will be comfortable. A full fridge, gas range, microwave, toaster, and coffee pot in the kitchen with every dish, utensil, or piece of cookware you could need. The toilet and shower are in the bathroom and just outside there's a little alcove with a huge countertop and sink and very large mirror. There's a large kitchen table with four chairs, two armchairs facing the television, and a roomy closet. It really is like a small apartment. (Actually, I had a small apartment and it didn't have nearly as much storage space.) Tons of drawers in the bathroom and bedroom area as well. Bed was a little uncomfortable, but everything was better than I expected so I wasn't upset about it. The proprietor is so nice!! Very helpful, full of recommendations. And the location is just in the center of town so it's close to any shopping or restaurants, and just a short drive or bike ride even from the water park, and only 15 min drive from Adirondack Woodcraft Camps (which is where my friends wedding was). You have to keep in mind this is similar to an Air BnB in that there's no housekeeping during your stay and you are responsible for tidying up after yourselves before you leave, washing your dishes, taking out your trash, etc. which wasn't so bad because hello, I'm not a pig. If you are, probably you shouldn't stay here anyway. But, highly recommend! I even mentioned to my boyfriend that I'd really like to stay again next summer and make a longer vacation out of it!

I found the maps that were posted to be very confusing and frankly the trails I rode were not particularly well marked. I feel like it's got a ton of potential, but it was a pain to try to navigate without trails being clearly marked. The interesting thing was that I saw an experienced rider heading in to the trails, I picked her brain a little and even though she had been there a number of times - she said that the trails are difficult to navigate. I was disappointed In that, but the terrain was pretty awesome. I just get a little frustrated when I can't find my way around. If you are going to ride here - I would strongly recommend downloading the app Trailforks, which I did after getting VERY irritated by not being able to find trailheads. I hope you're time riding here is better than and easier to navigate than mine.

We booked The Lodge on Main a year in advance for a much anticipated family reunion. To quote the website ad directly, "We designed The Lodge on Main to comfortably accommodate large groups of friends and families. With a huge open floor plan that combines the kitchen, great room and dining room, you'll never feel cramped." Under amenities in the website description in the ad reads "Large Group Rental (10+)" Summer rates listed for the property read, "Summer Rates: Thursday - Sunday nights $400" Although, we were in fact charged $500/night - as explained by the owner the rate was $50 per person per night due to "wear and tear on the plumbing" and we had only "estimated" 10 people per night - due to the fact that two of our guests are active military and could not be guaranteed leave that far in advance. Had we known the reservation was absolutely inflexible and set in stone we would have estimated 12 guests to error on the side of caution. In reality, only five guests stayed the first night which when charged using the per person formula should have been $250 when in fact we were charged $500. The remainder of our party (7 people) arrived Saturday morning in 3 separate vehicles. We were not there 30 minutes when the owner approached us and inquired as to how many people were on the rental property as there were too many vehicles in the lot. (6 total) There was no mention of parking on the rental agreement or website nor were there signs guiding us where to park. We were also accused of driving across the lawn when in fact a customer from the liquor store was seen doing this. When I replied 12 people were on the property (10 estimated + 2 military) the owner immediately accused us of violating the agreement which only allowed 10 individuals on the property at once. He explained the property boundaries included the inside of the lodge as well as the outside backyard area which was generously equipped with 2 full sized picnic tables (16 seats) one raised ledge table with space for approximately four people and a fire pit area with exactly 11 Adirondack chairs arranged in a circle. When I questioned the owner as to why there were 11 chairs outside when no more than 10 were allowed on the premises, he snapped and stated that he was calling the police to have us evicted immediately. We were not informed prior to our arrival that there were strictly enforced rules stating NO guests beyond the original estimated 10 people were allowed to step foot on the property for ANY reason at ANY time. Had we known of this inflexibility we definitely would NOT have reserved this property for a vacation, family reunion or any other recreational purpose. The owner refused to explain HOW we were violating the contract when the website clearly stated, "sleeps 12" and there were exactly 12 people in attendance. One gentleman from our group asked (direct quote) "What can we do to make this work? Can you explain where it is acceptable to park, how many cars are allowed and the acceptable maximum occupancy inside and out?" The owner outright refused to answer the question and called law enforcement to have us evicted immediately. We were falsely lead to believe as stated on the website that this spacious rental property was appropriate for large gatherings that accommodated 12 guests. My adult family which included retired seniors, middle-aged first responders and active military whom were all civil and respectful were unjustly evicted without provocation or recourse. 12 people, thousands of dollars, one year of planning and a weekends worth of food and linens displaced in Old Forge on a Saturday afternoon with nowhere to go. It is also worth mentioning that this owner has live cameras mounted on the property where he monitors and records his guests activities from inside the adjoining liquor store (George's Liquor's) which he also owns. THIS is how Steven Perlowitz treats his guests. Do NOT spend your hard earned money at the Lodge on Main where guests are obviously NOT WELCOMED. The owner has no right to refer to himself as a host on his website or any other forum as he was the most unreasonable inhospitable business owner I have ever dealt with in my entire life. We will not be returning to Old Forge as our family reunion and weekend was completely devastated by the unjust actions of one inflexible and obstinate rental host.

Once you have found the dock in Stillwater and embark on the Norridgewock River Cruise the fun begins. A 45 minute cruise of natural beauty and interesting information. I would suggest this is a perfect way for a family gathering to enjoy secluded Adirondack life. They currently charge $18 for adults and I think $10 for kids to cruise. The destination is a small boat dock where a mountain " limousine" awaits to bring you the last leg to the lodge. Once there you have a few hours to enjoy lunch and discover rustic camp life. A play area for kids, libation for adults and even a piano and guitar for anyone who would care to regale the other guests. Its all very chill and tranquil. You may find various accomodation if you care to spend the night,at very reasonable prices. The family who runs Norridgewock are intent on making your experience a good one and this is a most pleasant diversion in the woods!
