Adirondack Region Vacations from $279

Overall this property was fine, the other issues I had were the doors to the room did not shut properly and I had a hard time locking them. You had to put the door handle in the upright position for it to be fully closed and locked, and it took a lot to do that. Also, the bathroom door did not shut all the way and the shower filled with water at the bottom while in it. Overall, a nice, quiet property that suited our needs.

My husband and I stayed at this property because we are driving from the New England coast to upstate New York and wanted a halfway place in the extreme heat. I had remembered this place finally from a couple visits when I was a little girl and had always wanted to go back. We had a lovely room and one of the cottages we had great meals at the main restaurant and the Red Mill. We loved swimming in the lake at the resort and at Button Bay Park. My husband visited the nearby Marine museum, and I had a wonderful visit at the Shelburne Museum. The staff were professional and extra courteous! Only two things that I would change: The breakfast options were extremely limited. Large Buffet in main dining room, or coffee and small choice of pastries at the main lodge store. Sub par coffee machines in the room. I recommend adding a place to get good coffee and a small continental breakfast on site. The other issue that we had is the trail to Button Bay park was not well marked, the signage needs to be enhanced. We got slightly lost, but met a couple the next day who got really lost for the same reason. I went to Vergennes, 15 minutes away to find good coffee and there are some nice small shops there.

The rooms are very well set up and the hot tub and pools are nice and warm.

We were not impressed with the room location or perhaps it’s just the lack of insulation between rooms, but you could hear everything. The restaurant was in our building and constant noise. Neighbors had children with constant noise.

We stayed in the detached loft building. It was clean and just what we needed. Our two double bed room was pretty small. Bathroom was also small. about the only complaint was with the hvac setup. It wasn’t really all that clear which baseboard electric units for heat were supposed to actually work. There’s a thermostat on the wall, but only the one by the door was functional; two were cold. There’s also a window unit, but I’m guessing that was for summer air conditioning. Some in-room literature would have been helpful. I think I’d prefer to stay in the main lodge next time. Also, we were woken in the middle of the night up by a fire alarm. Getting dressed and going outside in a snowstorm at 2-3am isn’t great. Apparently it was only in the loft building. It was a false alarm, but in a building like that, better safe than sorry. Breakfast food and service was great. I’ve stayed in a ton of places around North Conway over the years and they all seem somewhat old and dated, so I get it, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was clean, a priority, and the beds were comfortable.
