I really liked my cabin, management offered me an upgrade from my original booking, and all of the cabins are well lit which is a plus when having a fire at night! Would stay here again!

Very cute little chalet. Everything felt well maintained and clean upon arrival. The property was quiet and felt private. Loved that there was a fire pit right outside of our chalet. Communication with the owners and check in/out was super easy. Would love to stay there again

We booked the small "Balsam" Cabin at Wilderness Inn which is a very cozy cottage in the woods. Even if its getting colder there is a fire place and a well working heating. We felt welcome right from the start. Everything was arranged with care: matches for the fireplace, coffee capsules, sufficient towels. In addition, the location is excellent next to Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge.

Stayed one night due to passing through the area. The bedrooms are tight with 2 beds in each. Good place to stay for a couple of days to tour the area. The Spruce will sleep 6 people comfortable. Would stay again for the value.

Very nice cabins with fireplace. No issues whatsoever with my stay. In the images I thought I saw an AC unit pictured but it was a furnace, no AC (in the Norway cabin at least) but 2 good fans provided.

We had the best cabin maybe, Hemlock. I can't comment on all of them, but our friends' was smaller and darker inside. Hemlock was great. It has a good kitchen.

Amazing experience... a must stay!! The communication with the owners was outstanding. Yann was so kind and informative. He ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. We stayed in the Norway cabin which was so cute and super clean. The cabin was equipped with everything you need... even a Keurig coffee machine! We especially enjoyed the fireplace. It was such a wonderful experience that we're ready to plan our next visit. 5 stars in our books!

Fit the bill for the ADK
Was looking for a cabin with a fireplace, BBQ, microwave and fridge to fall back on after long day of hiking. Jackpot! The Wilderness Inn had it all. Would definitely come back here on another ADK trek.
