"First time visitors to the lovely Friends Lake Inn, Feb 27th to March 4th. We had to postpone our original reservation (late Oct) due to a Nor'easter, then had to postpone again (mid Dec) due to the Omicron variant. I rescheduled for June, but feeling the need to escape sooner, moved the reservation up to late Feb. Our stay could not have been any better. The Inn is both cozy and classic. We were able to snowshoe right out our door and were the only 2 people out on the trails for our entire stay. It has been a long time since we experienced complete silence. We chose the Great Lakes room and could not have been happier. Pure Adirondacks feel! It was so nice to build a nightly fire after long days outdoors in the postcard perfect snow and ice. We are already missing the staff. Betty and Kim, you both were AMAZING and so helpful. You made us feel like part of the inn family We'd also like to give a shout out to Dora (first night drinks/food at the bar was lots of fun), Nicole (awesome server), Bella, Betsy and Kaitlyn, you all took great care of us during our stay. Jeff, you truly are a great manager. You and your team genuinely make people want to return. I know I am forgetting people, like the nice man who made sure we had fire wood daily, the chef, WOW! The food at this inn is top notch! I am so wanting some delecata squash again And the morning breakfasts (included) are delicious. The inn was almost empty during our stay (and one night it was just us) but the staff was always available as if the inn were full! We felt very special. We left for home feeling restored. The power of stillness, space and communing with nature was soul feeding. It was the perfect winter escape. WE WILL RETURN. THANK YOU ALL."
