  • Guest Rooms & Rates

    The seventeen guest rooms of our New York country inn are individually decorated and luxuriously appointed with your comfort in mind, perfect for a romantic getaway. The style of each room ranges from a warm country inn decor to the more rustic but sumptuous Adirondack rooms -- each with its own distinct personality, yet all offering romantic getaway accommodations in the heart of New York's Adirondack Mountains. Which of our luxury filled rooms you choose depends on availability and the level of amenities desired. Our Traditional Rooms and Adirondack Lodge Rooms differ in price according to the varying amenities. All contain at least a queen bed or better, private bathroom, and an outdoor view. Many include a Jacuzzi, balcony, fireplace, magnificent lake or mountain views and other pleasurable luxuries. Guests are invited to use the Inn's common areas. Relax by a crackling fire in the library with a good book, enjoy a cool drink on the deck overlooking the pond or enjoy the  heated pool or sauna. All are wonderful places to relax after a day of taking in the sights in the Adirondacks! Visit Friends Lake Inn, and enjoy a romantic getaway where you'll be pampered in every way.

    Rates & Policies

  • $349 for traditional room includes three course dinner and full country breakfast for two, and range up to $499 for the Great Room with three course dinner and full country breakfast for two.
  • Children: As a gentle reminder, Friends Lake Inn is an adult oriented property with few facilities geared towards children.  Occasionally we are able to accommodate children.  Please call for more information.
  • Televisions: In keeping with our tranquil setting, there are no televisions in guest rooms (except Ledge Stone) , however we do have a television in our Wine bar, Murphy room and Billiard room.
  • All rates at Friends Lake Inn are based on double occupancy. Single Rates are available upon request. Some time periods require a 2-3 night minimum stay over weekends. "High Season" rates ( July) may vary, please call to inquire.
  • Deposits: A valid credit card is required at the time of reservation.  To confirm a reservation for one night a 100% deposit is required at the time of booking.  Greater than one night stay requires a 50% deposit. If there are fewer than 14 days remaining before your arrival, the full 100% deposit is required at the time of booking, regardless of the number of nights you will be staying.
  •  Arrival and Departure:  Rooms are available for check-in at 2:00 pm.  Departure is at 11:00 am. While we make every attempt to accommodate early arrivals, we cannot guarantee room availability before 2:00 pm.  However we would be happy to store your luggage in the event of early arrival or late departure.
  • Cancellations:  Due to our intimate size, cancellations affect us significantly.  A last-minute cancellation gives us little chance of filling space due to our remote location.  For these reasons we uphold a strict cancellation policy.  If a cancellation is made 14 days or more prior to your arrival date, you may elect to receive a refund of your deposit less a $40.00 processing fee, or apply the entire amount towards a future stay within the next year.  If a cancellation is made less than 14 days  prior to your arrival date, no refund will be possible regardless of the reason, as we will have turned away many other potential guests. All deposits are non-transferable to another date if you are within 14 days of the reservation date. However, you are always welcome to send a friend or family member in your place.  Should it be necessary for you to depart earlier than your confirmed reservation dates, you will be responsible for all of the original room nights booked from your intended stay.
