The Woods Inn

Had an amazing experience without technically staying, though we definitely plan to book a stay in our next adventure through the Adirondacks.
The Woods Inn is an gorgeous step back in time that we came across by accident. Amazing building with beautiful preservation and restoration!
We were heading through a pretty messy snow event on our way from Saranac to home (Attica, NY) and decided to get a place to stay overnight till the storm passed. We booked a spa tub room online at the Woods Inn. When we arrived, we were a bit early, but found that the front desk was handling everything remotely through their ring doorbell. We were directed through the check in process, but found that the room set up for us was actually not yet available.
We are pretty easy going people (plus we were early) so we decided to head over to Old Forge and have some lunch and watch the rest of the football game while they set about fixing up a room. While we waited, the management kept in touch with us through texts. He let us know that ultimately, the room would not be available to us at their establishment and instead they were going to be finding us comparable lodging right where we were!
We were given a suite room with a Jacuzzi tub at a beautiful hotel in Old Forge. No charge. They went above and beyond generous and we are so very grateful for their help!

This is a must visit in the Adirondacks! Such a charming and cozy space with the friendliest and most caring staff. The view of the lake is unbelievable and is matched with great food and hospitality. All of their Covid policies made me feel really safe during my stay and I will absolutely be back!

What an experience - this place makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time… maybe a century. In my opinion, the fall is the best in this area. Arrived via canoe and stayed for sunset, dinner and overnight in one of the rustic rooms on the second floor. No need to rate the view of the lake - see photos. Food at the restaurant was better than expected as was the service. We heard complaints about both, but didn’t experience any missteps. Grab a drink at the downstairs bar and walk down to the lake for a memorable time.
