My ultimate Adirondack vacation.

We loved our stay in Saranac Lake! Better than Lake Placid in so many ways. The Saranac Club and Inn was a true highlight. The room was beautiful. We loved our late nights in our room with a crackling REAL wood burning fireplace. Both before and after dinner we spent time in the public spaces enjoying cocktails and meeting the other guests, who were among the best co-travelers we had ever met. Friendly, down to earth, pleasant, good people. One morning we slept in, missing breakfast and yet when we appeared, the staff was able, willing and gladly ready to still treat us to their first rate service. If you go, I suggest you go during ski season or wait till summer and enjoy the beautiful grounds. We have rebooked and the owner promised to take us out on his huge boat for a full lake excursion. We're looking forward to it! Maybe we'll see you then!

Value, Luxury, Service.

It is, first, very reasonable for what you get. All of the extras from ensuite to throughout the common area, very luxurious. Finally, what I read on the service is true. Lots of detail and pampering. Not cheap, but worth every penny. But if you want the cookie cutter, corporate hotel, may not be for you.

As unique an Inn as you'ff find in the US!

This is due entirely to the staff at the Saranac Club and Inn. They went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and well attended to. And the mix of clientele was the most dynamic we've experienced in years. The evening cocktail parties each night must be the best in the Adirondacks! Artists, business people, everyone was friendly and down to earth. Their motto ought to be "No pretense, no Phonies; just attentive service and friendly people." I don't know how they do it frankly; maybe it's too good to last. But we wish them well and will truly look forward to our return.

The best of Saranac Lake!

Saranac Lake is a charming, sleepy little village. There are shops and resaturants, mostly mom and pops, no high end chains. Although, TF Finnegans Mens Clothier was a surprising little find with plenty to choose from. Dining out? Well, very nice, but as the front desk clerk at the hotel told us, "good, solid, mostly homespun cooking." Nothing wrong with that, but for true gourmet dining, stay in the Saranac Club and Inn, it must be the finest dining room in Saranac Lake (atleast the village!) Otherwise, the staff touts a select number of dining rooms in Lake Placid. Not once! did they steer us wrong! More to the point, everything every other reviewer said is true. Wonderful, loverly and yes a boutique. Believe, me you won't do any better in Saranac Lake than the Saranac Club and Inn.

Through the dreary, raw days from my home in Connecticut, I have reminisced of the glorious vacation in Saranac Lake this past summer. Through a career change we could not return to the Point Resort ($2000 per night!) but found through our search a very commendable replacement. The Saranac Club and Inn is a historic luxury hotel/inn/B&B in a charming little neighborhood above the village of Saranac Lake. Though truth be told, it did not offer the same cachet as staying in the former Rockefeller Estate, it was a beautiful property. We felt every bit as pampered (if not more so) and the room was luxurious beyond most reasonable measures. The recollection I cherish most is going down to the launch, 3 minutes from the Main Lodge. There we boarded the "SS Tranquility" for a cruise of the spectacular Saranac Chain of Lakes. Beautiful, pristine nature and crystal clear waters teeming with wildlife! We went on the lunch cruise (they also had a sunset cruise) and had a gourmet feast on the waters! Four gourmet courses served in a rustic old American way; felt like we had sailed into a Ralph Lauren Polo advertisement. Anyway, we made it back to the Main Lodge by 3:00. We had just enough time to catch a quick nap, have a costume change and assume our position in the Park Avenue Courtyard for the Afternoon Tea. The pastry chef, Frank, has made cakes for Madonna and New York's beloved Senator Hillary Clinton. The coincidence is that I can now review the notes I made during the trip by making notes on my blog from the courtyard where the inn has a wireless bubble. Really, this property left no convenience or desire to chance. Anyway, we have just made our reservations to return to the inn this coming summer! Seth, it was wonderful to hear your voice! Tim, the King of Cosmopolitans! Start chilling our glasses, we can't wait till we get there! ciao!

America's Emerald Village, the BEST of small town life!

If you come to partake in all that the Adirondack Mountains have to offer, there is no better hub in which to base yourself. You might mistake the GM for the village mayor the way he touts all of the virtues of Saranac Lake. For whatever reason, something set me off and got me reminiscing about "Petticoat Junction;" certainly classy and upscale but down home at the same time. But it is a lovely spot without all of the tourist trappings of Lake Placid, just ten minutes away. The skiing, dog sledding were highlights for us. But when we were on the grounds of the Saranac Club and Inn, we could not have asked for more. Everything was geared for romance. We had a memorable weekend and I guarantee we will return in the summer. And staying in and dining in the inn's Cafe Saranac will be the best meal of your trip! I truly have never had better mushroom and truffle risotto and the desserts were out of this world. Safe travels!

A Top-Rated Inn!

And very deserving, I might ad. We have stayed at this property twice. There aren't many properties that we return to. When we received their newsletter which we always enjoy, we were pleased to see things are only getting better! We were among the first to stay in the BirdsNest and thought it was a wonderful suite; certainly large and beautifully done in an Adirondak style. Congratulations to all and we look forward to seeing you next summer!

At least for one weekend I felt like a Queen. The staff did everything for us. Oh, how I could get used to that! We may have to win the lottery, but I would love to take the entire staff home with us. The chef was incredible! Housekeeping did a teriffic job! Doina who was the lead concierge made sure our every wish was granted! As I said before, when it comes to staying in a hotel or motel or inn, this is the best we've ever had. The truth is we came to Lake Placid because my husband is crazy about hockey. I wanted the warm FLA sunshine, but doubt I would have found a better place there. Maybe because the staff cared so much. Our thanks.

We went up to the Adirondacks from our small city of Plattsburgh, which is on the shores of Lake Champlain. Our relocation to Platts has not been the smoothest and wanted a quick getaway. We wanted to stay right in the middle of Lake Placid, but what you get for your money hardly made it worth it. So we expanded our search. Having never been to Saranac Lake we didn't know what to expect. Turns out it is only ten miles to EVERYTHING!!! The peace and quiet and the superior standards made the few minutes drive worth it. We stayed at the Saranac Club and Inn and were treated like royalty. We could not have asked for more! We returned to Plattsburgh with our spirits bolstered, knowing a luxurious break with total pampering and a sense of "belonging" is only 60 minutes from home. Our thanks to everyone. You have no idea how much your hospitality has meant to us. With such a warm welcome, we are thinking we may just make it through the winter after all!
