This place is the closest thing to perfect I have ever found in Upstate NY. 1. Each room is distinctive, mine was quiet and comfortable, and I recommend getting one with steam shower and/or hot tub. (If you need a TV let them know in advance some rooms have some do not). 2. Cross-country skiing and snow shoe trails have... More

My husband and I have stayed at Friends Lake Inn a number of times and consider it one of our favorite places in the Adirondacks. This year we decided to stay for my birthday and took a scenic ride in a helicopter. The staff was friendly and most gracious. My husband had some dietary issues and each meal was served... More

My family and I have eaten here regularly since 1985. We love this place and it continues to please so many years later! Not far from Gore mountain and near all of the amazing hiking and lake fun of the Adirondacks. The crepe with lobster and scallops with a buerre blanc sauce is one of my favorite apps anywhere in...

We just enjoyed a wine dinner - Duck Horn Wines - at the Inn and were very happy with the presentation, the wine and the food. Wonderful meal all in all. We stayed in one of the top floor rooms and loved it. We usually pick one of the Adirondack rooms with fireplace and porch - but those were unavailable.... More

I am having some difficulty understanding all of the positive ratings that people are giving this Inn, unless they are relatives the owners or something or they were promised something in exchange for their silence- Let me tell you the real deal with this Inn: This is one of those places that is in serious need of a redux and...

My husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary at the Friends Lake in October, and it was a wonderful experience! We chose a one night stay package that included a 3 course (AMAZING) dinner, and a delicious gourmet breakfast. The staff went above and beyond our expectations- we were treated like royalty. They made small gestures that meant so... More

We made our reservations online, which was extremely convenient. Upon arrival, we were seated 20 minutes ahead of our reservation. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and... More
