What's New On the Lodge Blog
What's the Connection with the Colors of Food, the Fall Harvest & Oktoberfest?
You might think tourism or timber was one of the oldest economies in the Adirondack Park, but in fact, wellness could be considered the first major industry, so much so that our local area became known as the “Healing Woods.”
From Our Guestbook
We had a wonderful New Years Eve dinner experience with a horse drawn sleigh ride, drinks in a speak easy, and a fantastic dinner.
My wife and I had a wonderful and very relaxing experience here during the week after Christmas. Fresh snow made everything picture-perfect. Cathy and Ernest were very personable and helpful from start to finish. The lodging was warm and comfortable, and the food delicious. The Speakeasy and Lantern-lit Sleigh Ride experiences were good fun and original. We did some easy snow-shoeing on-property and went cross-country skiing at the nearby Paul Smith VIC. A real gem.
Superb!
