From the time you arrive you will feel completely at home at The Book & Blanket. Zoe, the basset hound, usually begins the welcoming process with kisses on your way in the door. You awake to the smell of homemade breads and muffins, the aroma of fresh-ground coffee and the soft strains of classical music wafting through the air. A short walk to the Jay covered bridge and swimming hole, the Book & Blanket is just 20 minute from Lake Placid and 10 minutes from Whiteface Mountain. The hiking trails of Keene & Keene Valley are a 10- to 15- minute drive away. And the Book & Blanket now offers wireless and highspeed access.

I have been returning to this Inn for years and have always left more then satisfied. The breakfast is always delicious and one couldn't ask for better hosts.

The hosts carefully crafted this Bed and Breakfast not only with the literary theme but in the grace in which they tended to their guests. The time in which they socialized with us was balanced perfectly with our private time. An entire section of their house is reserved for guests--plenty of interesting board games, videos, and the obvious books. This book theme was interwoven into their B & B not only on the shelves which contain a wide variety books but also on their wall paper, garbage cans, bookmarks, mugs, and soaps. The hosts anticipated the needs of their guests. A pad of paper was thoughtfully positioned near the phone with a pen. A plastic bag was in the bathroom, with a label asking the guests to use the bag to take home their open shampoo bottles and soap. The dining room welcomed us with tea (or coffee), a basket of brochures, local maps, flowers, and chocolates. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. The hosts set up a table setting for our one-year-old baby, with a baby spoon, cup, and bowl. The rooms were very clean and beautifully decorated. This B & B is a short scenic drive away from Lake Placid. We HIGHLY recommend this to anyone visiting the High Peaks region.
5 out of 5We'd definitely stay here again!

We spent a night at this charming inn, and were delighted with the F. Scott Fitzgerald room, the yummy breakfast and the gracious hosts, including Zoe the basset hound. If you're a book lover you'll be enchanted with the literary ambience.
