The Inn at Loon Lake

~ An Adirondack Bed & Breakfast ~

The Inn at Loon Lake is a Bed & Breakfast located in a remote part of the Adirondack Park, in the historic hamlet of Loon Lake, in upstate New York. Follow route 3 west from Plattsburgh, or east from Saranac Lake, head north on route 26 (formerly route 99) for three miles, and you will find us located between the 10th and 18th greens of the picturesque Loon Lake Golf Course.

The fifteen room inn is one of the original "cottages" built at the end of the Victorian era around Loon Lake House, the premier summer resort in the Adirondacks at a time when presidents, the well-to-do, and others vacationed here. The hotel burned down long ago, leaving several of these cottages (some designed by Stanford White), as the only testament to this era of the Great Adirondack Hotel.

Loon Lake today is a small, quiet hamlet of well-kept houses and friendly neighbors. The winter population is 20 - 25 people! The hamlet is set in the heart of the Adirondacks, on a clear lake, surrounded by trees and mountains. Such a setting provides the ideal backdrop for a country inn, and all the activities that such a location has to offer.

Besides golfing on the 18 hole Loon Lake Golf Course (The oldest course in the Adirondacks - celebrating 100 years in 1995), the summer brings swimming, hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, kayaking and other outdoor recreation.

But the fall! The views of the mountains and the colors of the trees cannot be described. Leaf-peeping is as easy as a walk through the woods on the many trails that surround us, relaxing on the two story wrap-around porch or just looking out the windows of your room.

Then the winter brings snow, several feet deep. We are near Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain, twice host of the Winter Olympics, so we are minutes from downhill skiing. You can go snowmobiling, snowshoeing, tobogganing, or cross-country skiing, right at our doorstep, then warm up in front of the fireplace on your return.

The Inn at Loon Lake was completely restored in 1992. We've landscaped the grounds with lush perennial gardens (over 200 varieties of hostas!), a koi pond and water fall. The Inn has four guest rooms and one suite, most with private bath. Rates start at $69.00 per night for two. Full breakfast is always included - fresh fruit and juices and perhaps bacon and eggs or maybe pancakes and sausage, and of course - fresh coffee.

Have your first cup of coffee in the morning on the porch, breath the cool fresh mountain air and discover why they call this paradise. Whether you like outdoor activities or quiet days reading, you'll find comfort and relaxation here. Come for a visit and you'll know why we're 'the best kept secret in the Adirondack's...'
