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

We stayed on a particularly cold night in October and the house was warm and inviting. The room was comfortable, however the double bed was slightly small for two people. Breakfast in the morning was great - plenty of options and included home-made... read more

some traces of a continental breakfast would have been appreciated (eggs/ham for example); the variety of the continental breakfast and its taste were great though

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... read more

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.

Very reasonable way to see Lake Placid as most hotel rooms cost about triple what I paid per night. Not real familiar with BB's so my expectation of a TV in room may be unreasonable but I sure missed one late at night. Room had excellent bathroom,... read more

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.

Adequate accomodations except our room had a double bed which was pushed up against a wall, so we would have to climb over each other to get in and out of bed. When we arrived, not much of a welcome. No offer of coffee or tea, we felt as if we... read more
Innkeeper Response
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.
