Trails End Inn

We felt welcome, everything exceeded our expectations, but outstanding was the lovely location, tucked between the mountains on a large green lot. We did not have dinner, but breakfast was delightful in the lovely dining room. Lovely touch: the area where hikers could shower and hang their packs after checkout, the sleeping porches, cookies in the afternoon and assortment of coffees and teas (honour system). All in all a lovely, lovely, stay. Andy and Christine

Perfect place to stay as a couple, super quiet & it felt like being home. I would recommend this Inn to anyone who travels to the Adirondacks for the weekend or week. Staff was very nice in a genuine way. The whole place was very well kept.

I've stayed at Trail's End a few times and have been rewarded every time with lovely service. Spotlessly clean, quiet, peaceful, comfortable. Everything I'm looking for in a B & B. Breakfasts are excellent and the nighttime cookies a perfect and nicely done treat. I will return, without a doubt.

As always, Sue and Dave are great hosts. It is especially great that we were able to bring our dog Glinda with us. We love Keene Valley and Sue and Dave make us feel very much at home.

Great breakfasts with ample food. Lots of areas to lounge around in and several fireplaces to warm up by. The owners are always just a doorbell ring away to help answer any questions.

Nice cottage with convenient access situated on a private road with no thru traffic. Cosy fireplace, the only default is that there is a constant draft of cold air and make sure you bring your slippers. Lot's of room upstairs but bring earplugs and make sure you don't cook smelly dinners because of the open space between the kitchen and the bedrooms except for the master's bedroom.

Good place to stay when you plan day hikes. The Cascade cottage is really close from the Blueberry. The master bedroom exceeded our expectations, with a private view on a small waterfall in the backyard. Definitively a good value for the price.

This is our second time here in the last year or so. The hosts are wonderful. The inn is great, lots of rooms to relax. Very clean. Great experience. Will keep coming back!

The room was nice, clean and I got a great nights sleep. The house is very clean and well kept. The food was wonderful and service was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will be going back there. I highly recommend this B&B.

We come back to the same house every year. The place is simple and charming. Perfect for a winter weekend. Dave & Susan are a pleasure and very accomodating.

We loved the entire ambiance of the Inn, right from the self-check-in to our departure 2 days later. We stayed in the Allen Room, complete with a deep claw foot tub. The entire Inn is so well-fitted for those who come to the Adirondacks to hike, snow shoe, paddle, ski...... It felt as if the entire first floor was ours to use and benefit from. Breakfast each morning was delicious and the coffee smooth. We plan on returning to the Trails End Inn soon, such a great value, and the location is perfect!

Great place for hiking, and right next to the trail to Rooster Comb (no need for driving to them). The B&B is somewhat "do it yourself" (DIY), in that you rarely see anyone who works there. They're available, though, and have a good selection of hiking books for sale (and I think in a library). Great food options in the area too (they have a book, with guest comments on food).

Trails End Inn looks like an old house from the outside. Inside is newly renovated, painted, and modern with a rustic look. It is well cared for, and one of the cleanest B&Bs I've ever stayed in. The breakfast was great every day, and the other guests were sociable. One of the greatest testaments to this being a great inn is that nearly all of the people we met were repeat return guests. I plan on being one as well.

We love the Trails End Inn. It is located in the High Peaks and allows easy access to all of the great spots in the Adirondacks. The hosts and staff are magically ubiquitous and unobtrusive (how do they do that?). The breakfasts are luscious and the many extra little touches (the plate of cookies at 4:00 p.m. and the $0.50 sodas in the fridge and the post-check-out showers for hikers) make it all so comfortable and enjoyable.

It’s a nice comfortable inn in a great area. We especially enjoyed building a fire and keeping warm by the wood burning stove in the living area.

Wonderful property and terrific hosts - Dave and Susan do a great job and the staff are delightful. Delicious afternoon cookies were a surprise bonus!

We had a very relaxing stay. The Inn is really beautiful and tranquil and the breakfasts were delicious! We were very happy to bring our business back to Keene Valley after Hurricane Irene.

Trail's end proved to be exactly what we were looking for. It was a quite, private location with excellent access to the Rooster trail and much more. The breakfast was fabulous and the large rooms are great.

Stayed in one of the Inn's cottages on the Ausable River in Keene and it was very enjoyable and a very good value. Well kept premises, attentive owners and a great setting.

We have stayed at Trails End numerous times and every time have a wonderful stay. This was even more amazing as we got engaged by a roaring fire in the living room. This is an amazing bed and breakfast with a great staff and OMG Susan makes me a special gluten free meal that is out of this world.

Great little inn surrounded by many beautiful hiking trails. My boyfriend and I stayed for the weekend and hiked both Saturday and Sunday. One trail was within walking distance of the inn and the other was a 3 minute drive down the road. Breakfast was awesome. The room (The Jay Room) wasn't as cozy as I had expected, but the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. Lake Placid is a 25 minute drive from the inn which is a great place to have dinner or walk around. All-in-all a great weekend. I would definitely recommend this cute little B&B.

Plus facile en Français. Nous avons été enchantés de ce séjour. La gentillesse du personnel, la beauté du lieu, la pertinence des services offerts et la chaleur de l'accueil font que nous avons adopté cet endroit de rêve.

We love the Trail's End Inn because they have thought of everything to make your stay easy, relaxed and convenient. The atmosphere and location are perfect for us. The ability to shower and freshen up after you have hiked all day but have already checked out is perfect for us. Delicious food, nice rooms.

It's funky, but not helpful, that no one mans a front desk at any time, apparently, neither at check-in nor at check-out. That's more of an inconvenience than a debility, but it would be nice to have someone of whom to make basic travel inquiries, such as "Where are the good places to dine in these parts?" and "Where might we find additional blankets?" etc. Still, it's a lovely place, efficiently operated, splendidly appointed, and very, very clean.

We don’t “man a front desk” simply because we have a lot of tasks to do and for the most part our guests prefer to enjoy the Inn the way it is. We are often in and about the common areas of the Inn, but not or a set schedule. We have several signs that tell our guest that if they have questions, they can ring the front door bell and that will alert us to come out front, or the guests can phone us from their rooms (which they do on occasion). Most of our guest like the fact that there is no formal “check-in” procedure and if a guest want to check-out in the morning, we and our staff are always around, especially during breakfast. Again we make it as easy as we can for our guests so if they want to just leave without having to check-out, they can. And not only do we have a book with local restaurant menus and reviews by our guests, we happily make recommendations all the time, but you do have to ask, which most guests are able to do, sorry no concierge desk.

We've visited the Trails End Inn over the years and enjoy returning. A great place to spend some time.

Stayed here one weekend in October. Great to have fireplace and jacuzzi tub in room. Delicious breakfast and great location!!! Would stay here again for sure.

This is my go to place to stay in the High Peaks when I decide to spend a little more and skip the hostel or the lean-to. Everything is clean, the rooms are beautiful, the food is fantastic and the porch is probably the best place to relax with a good book and sip on your favorite drink. Simply wonderful, I highly recommend it.

This is, by far, the most perfect place to stay for serious hikers as well as mellow leaf-peekers. Its rustic in a most comfortable way, beautiful and peaceful. We've been staying here twice a year for the past 8 years and will continue. Its a most perfect vacation!

We first stumbled upon the Trail's End Inn online in 2010 and stayed there last August. After a fantastic trip, we decided to return in 2011 in late September. There was no question that we would stay at the Trail's End again...we just had to decide which room to stay in! Due to a sudden family death, we had to change our plans at the last minute, but Susan and Dave were terrific and very accommodating. We pushed our trip back by 2 days and just had to change rooms for our last night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay again and hope to return again next year. The location is ideal right in the heart of the High Peaks region, the breakfasts are fantastic and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I can't wait to go back! It is an absolutely lovely retreat.

We had a lovely time here. With a location right off the trail, this place welcomed us warmly after several days camping and hiking in the Adirondacks. We arrived in the afternoon, checked ourselves in, showed ourselves to our room and enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and the fireplace very much. A quick walk around showed charming and individual guest rooms. Breakfast the next morning was delightful and so were Dave and Susan. We look forward to returning every year!

Susan was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great and early so we could get on the trail early.

Our room was clean and everything was perfect! The food was really good and cookies always waiting for the guest when we where back from hiking! Near lake placid we had a blast! Susan & Dave are super nice and know how to received people!! Will go back for sure!!

Needing a place to stay while attending a memorial service, Trail's End supplied a quiet and beautiful place that made our trip unexpectedly and pleasantly memorable in itself - a very comfortable "Adirondack experience."

Cascade Cottage was large, comfortable and lovely. It was a pleasant surprise to not have to run out and purchase immediate kitchen supplies. A new in the wrapper sponge, dish, dishwasher detergent and charcoal made us feel welcome. The location and beauty of the area are outstanding and made our hiking vacation perfect. We will be back!

wanted to get away for a few days. stayed in one of the cottages, it was delightful, very comfortable, with great views of the Ausable River

Inn was most comfortable and low key, with a mix of hikers, vacationers, get-awayers all enjoying the Adirondacks atmosphere. We'll return for sure!

Trail's End was very cozy and comfortable. My wife and really enjoyed the overal feel of the lodge - it felt like a home away from home. The room was very clean, and it was nice to be able to light a fire in the fireplace at night. We would definitely come back! It is only a few mintues from several hiking trails, and from the community of Lake Placid.

We stayed at the Trails End Inn, and it was GREAT! We especially appreciated the screened sleeping porch our room had, it brought in the sounds of the forest. Very convenient to some great day hiking too. Susan made us real nice bag lunches to take with us....mine helped me scale Mount Marcy, the tallest peak in New York, and no small task for me! I don't normally rave about a breakfast, but 2 of our 4 mornings there they served an egg dish that I am still savoring a couple of weeks later.....mmmmmmm good.

We,ve been coming to the ADK's for 18 years and we have stayed at Trails End for all but one of those years. This is where you want to come for the outdoor experience. The inn is simple, picturesque, very clean, and rustic. Hikers and climbers come here as well as families with lots of kids. It's a great place to meet with others and talk about the best hikes or to just reat on the expansive front porch and read a book. The sleeping porches are the best part of staying here. They are wonderful on a hot night or a great place to put the kids. We travel with our dog now and we stay in one of newer, pet friendly apts on the back of the inn. Dave and Susan are friendly and helpful but they are not intrusive. In fact you might not even see them unless you go back into the kitchen. This is an inn where you are on your own not the Lake Placid Club, and we would have it no other way.

Unfortunately, we just popped in for a quick hike to Marcy & Haystack from the Garden. We have stayed in one of the cottages before, which was excellent, but never at the Inn directly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. My teenage son and his friend slept out on the attached porch which was quite spacious. We arrived around 10pm and departed around 5am. As we were unloading, we were captivated by an amazing night sky. We arrived on the evening of 8/4, which is early for the Perseids, but they were blazing across the sky regardless. My 17 year old son laid down in the grass and said "I could just stay here all night". After witnessing a dozen meteors or so in 10 minutes, we finished unloading. As I prepared our packs, my son and his friend engaged in a game of chess in the game room - which was perfect for quiet hours. We departed before breakfast so I can't rate the prepared food, but the kitchen facilities that were available let us prepare our own breakfast without disturbing anyone. Although our stay was quick, we are already planning on coming back next year to more fully enjoy the Inn, take in more of the meteor show, and relax a little. If you are planning on heading to Keene Valley, this is an excellent choice. Great access to all the trailheads in the Valley. Quiet, private location.

Great location. Helpful directions, polite, clean

My husband and I went to Lake Placid for a wedding in July and booked this Inn. We thought it was much closer to Lake Placid, it took us 30 mins. to get there. Anyway, the Inn is just wonderful, very clean, staff is most helpful and pleasant. breakfast was great and coffee/tea are at your convenience 24 hrs a day. Be prepared no a/c in room, fortunately, a cool front came thru and the temps were perfect! I would recommend this Inn to anyone who would like a low key, no frills, earthy lodging and close to hiking trails. We had a memorable stay.

Breakfasts are out of this world. Beautiful setting. Outstanding staff.

Beautiful old home, with plenty of common space to enjoy as well as great beds and cozy comforts. Lots of attention to detail make this an ideal place for the serious hiker, or just a terrific place to chill out in the fresh air and relax.

This is a wonderful place to stay if you like to hike and relax afterwards. Several trailheads are within walking distance of the inn. It is clean, comfortable, quiet, and ideally located - you can also walk into the town of Keene Valley (the Noonmark Diner is a good place to eat, and the town library is a nice little place to visit). The breakfasts served at the inn are delicious and filling, and the innkeepers are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

The Trails End Inn is an ideal place to stay for Ironman participants & visitors wishing to avoid the athlete frenzy in Lake Placid. Rooms are reasonably priced and very clean, there are good restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance, and the Inn is very quiet. There are also nice trail systems surrounding the property. The breakfasts are very good. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Trails End was a very pleasant place to stay. I was traveling with my husband, daughter, and son-in-law. We stayed in the Adirondack Cabin - it was nicely furnished with everything you need to have a comfortable stay (great for a family of 4). Lake Placid was about a 20 minute drive away which made it very convenient to drive to for dinner. I recommend Trails End - you won't be disappointed.

I have stayed at The Trails End 5 times!! The rooms are cozy and clean. It's quiet, even when full. We've stayed at the Inn and at Blueberry Cottage. I highly recommend this property. This ADK lodge provides an affordable vacation that will knock your boots and socks off!

We've been going to Trail's End for at least twelve years, and were married there. We've seen it through a few owners, and the current ones, Dave and Susan, had managed to keep things familiar while adding some welcome extras, like cookies in the afternoon and umbrellas to borrow. They're unobtrusive, but there if you need them. The breakfasts are great, and the rooms are simple-- no TV or jacuzzi-- but perfect after a long day's hike. There are also some wonderful common spaces, including a game-room, and a porch with enough chairs for guests to linger. We'll be back, again and again.

We spent several days this Summer in one of the Trail's End Inn suites. The Inn is beautiful and has a great mountain lodge feel, abundant with thick-cut wood slab furnishings. Our room was cozy and quiet and the bed was huge and comfortable. Our breakfasts were vegan by request and absolutely delicious! The breakfast room is large and open with a fireplace at one end which I imagine is amazing to eat by in the Winter. Keene Valley is a great hub for hiking the High Peaks so we spent most of our time on the trails but enjoyed relaxing hours reading on the Inn's porch and playing games in the game room, which includes a giant table chess set and a sky-high stack of board games. I recommend Trail's End Inn to anyone that likes comfort, delicious breakfasts and pleasant interactions with friendly humans.

I had driven past the Trails End Inn sign on many trips in the Adirondacks and decided to give it a try this time. I stayed with my 2 teenage sons who loved the sleeping porch. We expected the place to be a bit more rough around the edges. My boys described it as upscale and we were all impressed by the cleanliness, high level of maintenance and nice public spaces. Of course the boys liked the wi fi and available dvd player. Can't keep them in the woods all the time!

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast, with choice of freshly cut fruit and a yummy egg dish with homemade sausage, was excellent!

I could not have designed a better inn nor a better location if I tried! In little Keene Valley - but 1/3rd down a dirt lane, off the main road. A huge front porch with an Adirondack chair for every mood and preference you might have; seamless, invisible management; homemade cookies resting on the trail books and soft classical music in the airy breakfast room - large enough to afford you privacy and quiet while you slurp your coffee or tea! The innkeepers even offer a mudroom with extra bathroom and shower, which visitors are welcome to come back and use AFTER checking out (clean off the trail mud before driving home). Thoughtful place.

One of the great things about Trails End Inn is how hiker-friendly they are. They have a book where you can leave your hiking itinerary so that they can alert the DEC Rangers if you are not back by the time you specify. And, if you end up hiking the day you check out, there are shower / changing facilities you can use afterwards. Plus, ice packs in the freezer for those sore feet and knees. Within walking distance of several trailheads. Beyond this, they went out of their way to meet my dietary restrictions, and the stay was pleasant all around. I definitely plan to return.

This was the 2nd time I've stayed here. It is very convenient if you want to hike any of the high peaks out of Keane. It's very quiet and lovely.

So, Who doesn't have free long distance anymore? They have internet but not Vontage and cell phones don't work in Keen Valley. I am a single mother and I always leave a number for my children but Trails End doesn't accept incoming calls for their guest and I haven't had a calling card in years. The staff acted like they were doing us a favor for allowing us to stay in their very outdated bed and breakfast. I named Susan, Miss Friendly. I like eggs in the am and all they served is waffles and pancakes. UCK As for the price, I stayed in a 4 star on Unoin Square in Ca for 100 per night and our room with a bath and sitting area was 150. I hope to never see this place again

This person was not only incorrect, but rude. First, we are not the phone company so we have no control over where cell phones work, or don’t work. On the confirmation all guests receive it states in al capital and bold lettering that if they want to make a long distance call, they need a phone card. Also, we do accept incoming calls – this reviewer has no reason to make false statements, but she did. We get nothing but complements about our friendly staff, (just read the other reviews to confirm this) so again this person has misstated our facility. “Outdated”, we have no clue what that means. The review claims that all we serve are waffles and pancakes, again not true. “UCK” is just rude, but in keeping with this person’s general demeanor. We serve an egg dish one morning and a bread dish the next. I think she should stay at Union Square in the future.

We had the pleasure of staying two nights this past weekend to attend a wedding. We stayed in the Jay Room. It was very clean and well kept. The food was also delicious. I highly recommend Trails End Inn to anyone visiting the area. Keene Valley is a very beautiful area.

Everything was great...from the fresh baked cookies by the woodstove to the prompt and friendly service of the innkeepers.

Two nights at blueberry cottage. kitchen well equipped, lovely dinner on the deck, beds comfortable, wonderful location.

We keep coming back to this warm, welcoming gem in the Adirondack High Peaks. Dave, Susan and staff see to all the little details that make a stay something special- a note welcoming us back, tips about trail conditions or a nice walk on a rainy day, fresh cookies out for a snack. The rooms are beautifully appointed with antique quilts and big thick towels in the bathroom. The breakfasts are delicious. We come back as often as we can.

This would make my 6th stay at the Trails End B&B! Dave & Susan are wonderful hosts! The rooms are spacious, with the charm of an old home. The breakfasts are delicious, and they are always willing to accommodate our special dietary needs. A great place too stay, a short drive from Lake Placid. Highly Recommend.

I have had the opportunity to stay here several times and have always enjoyed my stays. The rooms are warm, the beds are comfortable, and the owners are nothing but friendly. There is always a plate of cookies sitting on the table just as you walk in, and breakfast is always a delicious affair. It starts with fresh baked scones or muffins and fruit, and follows with the breakfast of the day, ranging from egg souffles to french toast and pancakes, all of which are delicious. The inn itself is tucked back well off the road in Keene Valley, NY, far enough away from the lights so you can really see the stars. It has a rustic mountain cabin feel while still maintaining the comforts of the modern world (yes, there is wireless internet). Each room is unique and has it's own charm, and some can accommodate an entire family. It is a great springboard to adventure in the Adirondacks, and I can't wait until I can come back. -CM, New Jersey

Wonderful Inn hidden away on a dirt road. Very comfortable, clean and peaceful. We would certainly stay again and have already recommended to friends.

We stayed here one night because we wanted an early start for a back country ski. It was perfect for that except we were up and out before the cooked breakfast is offered at 7:30 AM. But the hosts put out a very nice cold breakfast for our early start. Very well maintained and comfortable inn. We really didn't meet the owners nor require service so can't fairly rate service. They offer a nice variety of room arrangements at appropriate costs. I would recommend this palace to any one and would stay here again.

Excellent made to order breakfasts, friendly and helpful staff, the best value in the High Peaks region. The available shower for the ride home after hiking (and after checking out) is a great bonus. We've been going there for a few years and it just keeps getting better each time.

Beautiful and comfortable cottage, with full kitchen and wood-burning fireplace. Idyllic for winter getaway. Close to Lake Placid, with Whiteface and other opportunities for Alpine Skiing - but also lots of options for snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, and lovely walks by the frozen, picturesque, babbling brook right outside the porch. Highly recommend.

The Inn is run by invisible fairies. You find the room list with your name on it, follow the directions to the room. Wi-Fi in the room was very spotty and weak (Skylight Room). Could not find the password to wi-fi anywhere in the room. Went back to the front desk (nobody there of course). Looked around found nothing. With the owner clearly not wanting to be bothered, at 9 pm I reluctantly decided to use the intercom (note at desk explained that it was next to the podium). No intercom was found. Went to the front door to ring bell. 5 minutes later a burly, unshaven, unsmiling figure appeared wearing slippers, socks and an open bathrobe revealing a t-shirs and boxer shorts. I apologized for disturbing him and asked where I could find the wi-fi password. Without a single word he made his way through chairs and tablet to a corner of one of the downstairs public rooms to a desktop computer. He then pointed to a a paper in an upright plastic menu holder. On it was the stream of 20 random letters and numbers which I transcribed in semidarkness to my laptop and got on line. When I turned around to thank him he was gone. Friendly huh? Breakfast was great and served by unexpectedly friendly waitress.

“Invisible fairies” Really! I think she must write fiction for a living. Being one of the “head fairies” here I’ll try and sprinkle a little reality into these comments. We do have a “self-check-in” system and we have a BIG sign on the front door that explains the system and says IF YOU NEED HELP, RING THE BELL. (In order to give our guests the most flexibility, we don’t have a set time to check-in, therefore guests arrive at all hours, so we don’t “camp out” in the entry area.) They did find the room unassisted. (Later that evening she was able to read the sign and ring the bell when she could not find the wi-fi codes.) Didn’t bother to look around in the common areas, or ask for assistance. If she had done either, she would have discovered the guests’ computer, with the wi-fi codes in plain site on top of the computer. Rather, waited till after 10 PM (not 9 PM) to go to the front door, read the sign and ring the bell. The sign also asks that the bell not be rung after 9 PM, except in an emergency (the fairies get up at 5 to make breakfast from scratch so we go to bed early). It was after 10 PM, I was asleep in bed. Rarely does a guest ring the bell except in an emergency. So I threw on my robe (which was closed) and went out. Since I assumed it was an emergency, it took maybe two minutes to get there. I did talk to her and showed her the computer and the wi-fi codes. Yes, I was “unshaven” (being up since 5 AM, by 10 PM I’m “unshaven”. The only reason she would comment on my attire and “unshaveness” is trying to belittle me. I find that quite offensive.) I didn’t stay and chat, I was tired and not impressed with the fact that she waited till so late to contact us for something that could have been found on her own if she had only looked. There is a lamp next to the computer. You need to turn it on for the light to come on. We use an ipad in the room directly below the room the reviewer had and our reception is fine, maybe the fault is the laptop.

The Trails End B&B was wonderful. Clean, quiet, great food, great location for us. We will return someday.

This is the place I've been dreaming about for years to return to after a day of hiking or cross-country skiing. Lots of cozy furniture to relax on with a good book. A roaring fireplace. An amazing breakfast. Even a plate of delicious cookies in the afternoon. Beautifully situated in the absolutely charming town of Keene Valley.

Trails end is a gem. Great Breakfast, wonderful room and dog friendly. Nice little touches, popcorn, coffee and cookies... We never had such a great time at a B and B. Much better than staying in a hotel in Lake Placid. Darcy dog gave it two paws up.

We stayed at Cascade Cottage and therefore did not have the service nor dining provided....it was a lovely weekend and the setting was very comfortable.

Have stayed in a variety of the accommodations available at Trails End and they are all outstanding. The views, surroundings, service and food are like a dream come true. It's like heaven in the Adirondacks!

Every other year we come to Keene Valley in the winter to snowshoe. The last 4 times we have stayed at Trails End Inn. It is a wonderful place and I highly recommend it. We'll be back in 2 years.

we had a great stay there. convenient location. very homelike atmosphere. Clean. Lots of hot water. Ample breakfast. Reasonably priced

Quiet and peaceful--just what we were looking for. The breakfast was a treat we looked forward to. We've been there before and will visit again.

A really nice place in a lovely setting. A beautiful dining room, spacious accomodations, helpful and friendly innkeepers, and good food. I'll stay there again.

It doesn't get any more relaxing than having a fireplace in your room and, the double jacuzzi is wonderful! (The only bummer is having to hit the "jet" button every couple of minutes). Great staff & welcoming atmosphere, the location is excellent as well!

This was our second stay at the Inn and we will surely return again and again. We really like the self check-in. You know that the Inn keepers are around if you need them, but you have privacy and quiet - which we enjoy. The ros are rustic/quaint and very clean. The breakfasts are perfect and the fact thy they will cater to food allergies is impressive. Great stay.

Impeccably clean, outstanding staff, great breakfasts, and a lot of nice details like 50 cent keurig coffees, sodas, waters, and small food prep/fridge area for guests to use, access to showers/bath all day after you check out - a very well managed operation.

Clean, spacious rooms. Nice common areas - plenty of space to read a book or chill out by the fire. Excellent breakfasts! The kitchen facilties for guests are a huge plus, especially if one is tired from a long day of skiing or hiking and doesn't feel like going out for a meal. The wireless Internet connection is super-quick. Overall - a good choice for those seeking a quiet get-away or a solid base of operations for outdoor activities.

My girlfriend and I spent two nights in the Gothics Room....Fireplece and Hot Tub. The fireplace was awesome...the hot tub could have been a little bigger to accommodate two people. The onle real issue was breakfast selections... uh there wasn't any. One morning we had Blackberry/Apple Puff pancakes and the next was corn Frittars? Instant oatmeal? You know a choice of eggs/pancakes/Quakers oatmeal would have been nice. My girlfriend wasn't fond of the breakfasts. And...as owners of a B&B you would think they would be more personnable....But for the money a good value.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Our breakfasts are all home made, from scratch from the sour cream muffins to the breakfast sausage. Susan varies the menu from day to day from an egg dish to a bread dish. Because we serve up to 30 to 40 guests for breakfast we can't offer a choice of items for the main dish, we aren't a restuarant. Unfortunately we can't please all of the guests, we try. We do accommondate special requests/dietary restrictions when informed in advanced. We don't understand the "more personnable" remark. We don't hovered over our guests and most of our guests prefer our nonintrusive approach to their vacation time.

I have stayed in all the B&B's in Keene Valley and trails end several times, but prior to the current management. Three things stand out to me: first the staff are pleasant, helpful, and competent; second, the sign out sheet for hikers is brilliant, as it provides those of us who hike alone with some comfort of follow up; third, the food is excellent, in fact noteworthy Richard Reeves-Ellington

Always outstanding whether you stay at the main "house" or at the Blueberry/Cascade/or Algonquin houses...Dave and Susan are great! Bill and Judy Chriswell

The breakfasts were wonderful! I wished it weren't Thanksgiving weekend, so I would have had more room for them. The 24/7 coffee and the evening cookies were also great. It's time to replace the mattress in the Allen Room. Heidi Wilson Orford, NH

Susan is an excellent cook. She is very well organized and tries to be as flexible as possible to accomodate all requests; lots of great info, a comfortable lounge, great kitchenette with fridge and micro, plus a nice area to shower and change (after checkout) if desired; thoughtful, well organized and professional owners.

trail's end is a quaint, old inn, just a bit off the main road to the beautiful high peaks area of the adirondacks. it's very cozy, comfortable, well-maintained, clean, and convenient to both outdoor and indoor activities. the breakfasts are delicious, too. we'll definitely be returning!

We spent the night at the Trails End Inn for our first hike of the 46 High Peaks. The Inn was fabulous, the staff friendly and attentive, and the room was wonderful. We will definitely return.

This was our third stay at Trails End Inn. We enjoy the little touches; evening cookies, Green Mountain coffee and all things Adirondack. The breakfasts are a delight and the service exceptional - warm and friendly. Trainls End is convenient to hiking trails and a nice place to meet other hikers.

We've been coming to Trails End Inn in beautiful Keene Valley for years. Almost always, its simply an overnight getaway for me and my husband. We enjoy a beautiful room, with a fireplace, jacuzzi and king sized bed, peace and quiet, and a scrumptious breakfast the next morning. We're usually not ambitious enough to hike, but if we were, the Inn provides great trail guides and packed lunches. We love TEI!!!

Great place to stay, great location, great hosts who leave you alone. If you are a chatty bastard and expect the hosts to fawn over you, you may be dissapointed.

I recently stayed at the Trail's End Inn's Cascade cottage and had such a fabulous experience that I am literally finding myself dreaming about going back, sitting by the fireplace, sipping wine after a tough day of hiking. That's exactly what our group did this weekend. We drove up from New York City which was quite a trek, hiked 13 miles on Saturday (nearly to Gothics but didn't quite make it due to snow and ice) and then returned for a lovely dinner and fire. It was so relaxing and beautiful in the village of Keene and the cottage was so cozy and well-equipped that we didn't want to leave. There are only a few recommendations I would make: 1) The map to the cottage should be more clear. We found ourselves lost once we got into town because we weren't aware that the cottage was so far from the inn - we thought it was going to be on a side road from the inn, not miles away. 2) There should be a hot-tub at the cottage - that would REALLY up the ante of the offerings. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Trail's End Inn - I can't wait to come back next summer!

Another wonderful trip to the High Peaks Region and great stay at Trails End. We will continue to stay at the Bed and Breakfast. They were even able to cook gluten-free!!!!!!

we stay at Trails End everytime we visit the Adirondacks. It is convenient, flexible and friendly, a great value.

Suggest hooks by the door for coats, napsacks, etc. Suggest to set mouse traps. Dining score is n/a as this was a cottage.

This was our fourth stay at the Trails End this year. We travel to the Adirondacks a lot and stumbled upon this gem when needing a place to stay near Lake Placid for an athletic event in early June. It is a great place to use as a base for hiking the High Peaks (with great amenities) or for day-tripping in the Lake Placid-High Peaks area. The breakfasts are to die for!

We love Trails End. We've been coming for the past five years, and it's the only place we will stay when we visit the High Peaks. Susan and Dave are superb innkeepers. The breakfasts are divine, and the trail lunches are the best!

We enjoyed the spacious Cascade Cottage and its nice porch.

The inn was immaculate and there were several nice touches: a plate of homemade cookies in the afternoon, a guest rating system for surrounding restaurants that was very helpful. Breakfast was delicious. I was by myself for a few days of hiking, and Sue pointed me toward a couple trails to match my abilities (moderately experienced. I recommend the Marcy room if you plan to stay in for the evening-lovely jacuzzi, refrigerator and TV. Also, it's in back of the inn and I rarely heard noise from the other guests.

We had a great time at Trail's End. The rooms were lovely and the afternoon cookies were delicious. I especially liked that you could purchase for a small fee, coffee, tea, water and soda. Sitting on the front porch with cookies and coffee was especially nice. We will be going back!

We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return again. Thank you!

My fiancé and I felt at home and very relaxed and comfortable during our stay. The food was excellent, so good that we have tried to imitate it at home since our trip. The self check in is a great convenience and you feel no pressure to arrive on time or leave the house after checkout.

Very nice stay. Extremely clean. Very helpful staff. Beautifull setting.

My mom and I stayed for one night on a hiking trip. We arrived late to find our room waiting for us, and we left early with b-fast in our bellies. The accommodations were wonderful and the room extremely comfortable. We love the outdoors but a good nights rest in a comfortable room makes for a better hike! We will be back this winter! Thanks for getting us out the door early with food and the offer to come back and shower up after the hike, above and beyond!!!!

I like this place. I plan on going back, perhaps more and more frequently

A treasure in the high peaks area. A great place to relax, near enough to everything you need, but secluded also.

The Inn was very quiet, well off the main road. We didn't meet the owners, but they had the self-check-in well explained with notices. Our room, the Marcy Suite, was large and cozy. Everything we needed and more. The Inn is lovely, with comfortable sitting areas in a variety of spots. I found the breakfast delicious - French toast with strawberries and cream. My husband found it a bit too sweet for his taste. A choice between eggs and the French toast would have made it perfect. There was, however, quite a good selection of cereal and the fruit bowl was very good. It was a great place to stay - somewhere I would definitely return to.

We have been visiting Trail's End Inn for the past 4 yrs. and have fallen in love with the inn and the area. The inn is wonderful with it's rooms all decorated differently, the large living room and breakfast room both with fireplaces to keep the chill off on a cold day. The owners are warm and friendly and the food delicious. It's a home away from home. The High Peaks area is an outdoorsmen paradise but it's also a nice place to sit on the porch, read and relax. We would highly recommend visiting the inn and area.
