We stayed overnight while visiting our son at Paul Smiths College. First impression was not impressive, but upon going inside we were pleasantly greeted by a terrific host and were taken by the beautiful decor of the home. Accommodations were wonderful and the rooms were spacious. The photos do represent the accommodations accurately. Breakfast was fabulous. I would reccommend this... More

My fiancé and I escaped to the Adirondacks for a relaxing getaway over the extended weekend. We stayed at the Porcupine Inn and could not have hoped for a better experience. The house is a gorgeous timber cabin style home that is beautifully appointed. The fireplace is perfect for sipping wine and playing games or catching up on some reading.... More

We stayed here while visiting our son at Paul Smiths College. What a great place! Friendly owner, lovely spacious rooms. Breakfast was delicious! More

We stayed in the Mohawk Room on 10/15/2011. The Inn was built in 1903 in the rugged Adirondack style of the time. The Inn has an interesting history. Our room had a fireplace and small but nice bathroom. The common area also had a fireplace. An adjoining room had an "honor" bar and full size pool table. Meg was very... More

We first stayed at the Porcupine in October '08 and returned for a much longer visit (a full week) in September 2011. We were delighted the first time we stayed and were excited to return. It is the perfect place to get away from the bussiness of everyday life and the house has the historic character and Adirondack charm that... More

you can breath the atmosphere of the past here. We stayed in the Bartlett suite which is very big and confortable, but the room we liked best is the beautiful dining room where Amy (the innkeeper) served us a delicious breakfast! More

It was our first stay ever at a B&B and when we first drove up we were a little reluctant that we had made the right choice choosing a B&B over a hotel, based on the outside appearance of the Porcupine. It has a very "haunting" look to it! However, once we were greeted at the front door by Meg,... More

It is not the lap of luxury, but that's not why we come to the Adirondacks or Saranac Lake for. The Porcupine Inn was built as a 'cure home' for a TB patient and has a lovely back porch where you can envision patients taking the outdoor 'cure'. It was stifling hot outside but the non-airconditioned home stayed cool and... More

Pros: Quiet location, large rooms, decent breakfast (although meager in size), pool table, hottub Cons: The place is run down,not clean, beds are from Motel 6, the property is overgrown and not well tended. I paid $543 for two nights and and would say this is surely not a luxury Inn...I would expect the price for this to be in... More
