The Hoot Owl Lodge

Lovely large Adirondack home; tons of character in these rambling rooms, hardwoods throughout, French doors, user friendly fireplace. This large well outfitted home also maintains charm and coziness with plenty of pillows, comforters, books & comfy reading nooks, games, everything you need for a snuggly snow day with family! Felt like visiting Grandma's , Kelly welcomed us with fresh baked cookies! My son loved the commercial oven range and plenty of prep space for cooking family meals together. We made pizzas as a family (Special thanks to Mike for rustling us up the fixings!) I loved the large bedrooms with pillows galore & extra comforters, and the new extra large washer & dryer! Bonus: This adorable friendly mountain town offers a ski hill for family fun! And a waterfall walk only a few minutes drive from the Hoot Owl.nTip: cell service a bit spotty so plan directions ahead, luckily the Hoot Owl offers free Wi-Fi! So no worries once you arrive!

We rented out the entire Hoot Owl Lodge, as this was a new offer because of the current pandemic (instead of individual rooms). First, it was apparent that the owners had not prepared the house to be rented as an entire unit. It lacked basic cleaning and kitchen supplies and the floor was very dirty. Second, we discovered there was a major rodent problem after the first night. We saw mice in the bedroom, living room, kitchen and a chipmunk was also in the house. There were also droppings throughout, including the frying pan, bed, couch and floor (see photos). Third, were the way the owners responded. They immediately got defensive and told us they never had this problem before (even though there was mouse poison in the pantry). They set traps, one of which basically fed the mice for 5 days (as was evident by the mouse droppings around the trap). When we expressed our concern about the condition of the house, they said they would reimburse us a small portion of the money we paid for the week. Then, they decided to go back on that arrangement by accusing us of leaving the house dirty. We did forget to take the garbage out on the last day and we left some clean dishes out on the counter to air dry. Otherwise, the house was exactly the way we found it. The unprofessional owners decided to deduct money from our deposit as well.nnI should also mention that the house was in bad shape, despite having a major rodent problem. The chimney was falling apart, there was a leak in one of the porch's, and one of the shower stalls did not even work!nWe have stayed in many places around the world, including hostels that were cleaner than this place! I would NEVER stay here as a whole house or single room rental. Stay Away!

Such a gem! Very well appointed B&B in an amazing location with caring, attentive owners. Not sure why anyone would mention food as concern? The breakfast selection was great and the owner bakes her own danish, donuts, coffee cake that were to die for! Would definitely recommend and will be back as soon as I have another free weekend. Perfect place to get away from it all! Thanks Kelly and Tony!

Great People and amazing views. The area is beautiful.

Great location for hiking but could do with some improvements with food.nB&Bs I have stayed in provide a warm breakfast for guests. Not the case here. It is advertised as a continental breakfast but offered no protein except for yogurt. Hikers need more substantial breakfast fare.
