My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with an overnight stay and dinner at Friend's Lake Inn and couldn't have been more delighted. We have recently moved from CT and had not experienced much of the Adirondacks, but many of our new local friends had recommended the Inn. We enjoyed our short stay and wished it had been longer!

A little too girly for me, but will recommend for those seeking quiet away from the mainstream. Menu here is not outstanding, but for the area is quite nice. Try the fishing on Friends Lake, some of the best in the Adirondacks. more

My husband and haven't stayed at the Friends Lake Inn, but we did have dinner at the Friends Lake Inn restaurant a few weeks ago. The food was absolutely superb! Unfortunately, though, the service was really awful. The poor service started even before we got to the restaurant. That afternoon, my husband stopped in and asked to make a reservation.... more

Management response from
FriendsLake, Owner

Wow, we are devastated by this posting. I will attempt to explain the parts that are explainable. First of all the comments about reservations. This guest requested a reservation for our "Bistro" dining area where we were running a special "Apres Ski" special. We do not take reservations for the Bistro as it is our casual "pub" style dining offering....
