We were driving through Lake Placid and decided to stay here on the spur of the moment. After staying in several soulless (and sometimes unclean) motels in New York state we were over the moon to find this place. As other people have mentioned the host is slightly brusque but we felt that this just added to the character of... more

The townhouses here look fantastic although we didn't stay in them. We stayed in the main house and had the 'apartment'. It was functional and relatively clean although it could do with a refurb. The host didn't seem overly friendly at first but then seemed to become more approachable as our stay there went on. The breakfast was nothing to... more

There were two different hosts we encountered, both of which were nice enough but not overly friendly or very approachable. Our room and bathroom was okay, but seemed like it could use a little tlc. The breakfast was plentiful and the owner made some really good bread to go with the fruit, cereal, oatmeal, coffee and tea. I was dying... more

We stayed at the Spruce Lodge over a long winter weekend and were disappointed with the host. She was not friendly and made the atmosphere uncomfortable. We were particularly upset when the she checked us out before we had left the bed and breakfast. The last morning of our stay we went for an early morning hike around Lake Placid.... more

We stayed in one of the townhouse units. A very good set up for a family. 3 bedrooms that can sleep 6, 2 full bathrooms, living room/dining room and full kitchen. All rooms spacious and very clean. Location is about 1/2 mile from the main part of Main Street. Cats mentioned in other posting are not an issue with the... more

This BnB's main attraction for us was the price and location. It was close enough to the main street for us to walk into town for sight seeing and meals yet didn't carry the high costs of so many other places in this small town. The room was clean, quiet and well prepared. The host was friendly and efficient. My... more

We (2 couples) just stayed in one of the townhouses (#11) at Spruce Lodge. We were warmly welcomed and found the owners very accommodating (e.g. let us go in well before the normal check-in time). The townhouse was great, very homey, very clean and very, very well supplied. It is located close to downtown, right on the trolley circuit, yet... more

My husband and I stayed here a couple of years ago. We have family in Lake Placid so go there often. It was short notice, so we ended up someplace new rather than one of our usual places. Pros: Our room was nice, it had a rustic Adirondack feel and was set away from the hubub. The price was reasonable... more

My husband and I stayed there after a business trip October 2006. I would have written sooner but I had no idea this review system existed until doing research for another trip. We stayed there without reservations,saw the sign and pulled in. The owner was very pleasant. We asked to see the room and the other facilities and she had... more
