Spruce Lodge Bed & Breakfast & Guest Cottage
Spruce Lodge was built in the early 1900's. We are guessing around 1910. It was purchased by my grandparents in 1949. My grandfather traveled a lot for his job and my grandmother stayed in Lake Placid and ran Spruce Lodge as a tourist... more

I spent one night at the Spruce Lodge B&B with my mother and her friend. Originally we had booked a room with 1 queen bed and a set of bunk beds at very reasonable price of under $100. When we arrived at the inn, the owner told us we were being upgraded to the apartment. The apartment is on the second floor with an outside stairway that is covered. My mother has a little bit of trouble with stairs, but she managed ok. The apartment was so nice! A full little lkitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker (with coffee provided). Cabinets held glasses, plates, etc. Ther was a living room area with TV futon and recliner. The separate bedroom had a queen size bed with the bathroom attached. Everything was absolutely spotless and in good order. The decor was really attractive-rustic wood, handpainted mountain scene mural in the living room, stencilled borders of moose, trees and other adirondack items. The only negative about the room was that the futon was not comfortable. I felt every board.
Breakfast in the morning was self serve. Hot and cold cereal, fruit, bagels, homemade muffins, juice and coffee. We did not use the common sitting area, but we did get to meet one of the cats! All in all, I would definitely recommend this place. View Reviewer Info

thank you for your comments. Very happy that you commented about my futon. We never know unless someone let us know. I am in the process of purchasing a new mattress. Hoping you stay with us again and next time the futon will be more comfortable.

Thank you for your comments. As fas our breakfast, we know that a continental breakfast is not always enough. But we keep our breads and muffins homemade to make the breakfast homelike. If I were to add hot foods (bacon & eggs etc), I would have to increase my rates by $10 to $15 and then my B&B would not seem to be reasonable.

I feel badly that I was not able to make these guests happy. I was booked solid and I could not upgrade them to a room that met their expectations. Also to their dismay, coffee is only served in the morning, but I did offer them tea.
Spruce Lodge is a family run bed and breakfast. The building is a well maintained 134 year old structure with lots of interesting and unique qualities. It is located in a tourist town where most of the nightly room rates are $150 and up. Our standard rooms are one third of that rate and our guests are happy with a double bed, private bath and a clean facility.
Most guests go for the standard room but others upgrade to a deluxe room with a queen bed and private bath or the apartment suite with a queen bed, private bath, kitchenette and small livingroom. Some even go to the two bedroom cottage which has two queens and a set of bunkbeds. A few get brave and upgrade to the ultimate accommodations, our new luxury three bedroom townhouses.
Our goal here a Spruce Lodge is to keep the atmosphere friendly, helpful & homelike, keep the rates affordable & keep the facility clean and inviting.
We do have a few grandchildren running around during the week but they go home by dinnertime. I am very sorry if these guests felt like they were intruding. That is not our intent.
