    Floors could have been mopped and less gritty, bathroom vent fan broken, and no mini fridge for daily medications. And I always want a bath tub, but it wasn't there either.

    The staff was Wonderful! Location is great and beautiful!

    Maybe a little updating would do this place some good, but overall not complaints.

    Property is right on Flower lake. Access to kayaks and canoes. The pool was clean and refreshing. Close to town, some restaurants were even within walking or biking distance.

    Comfortable Lake Vacation close to everything but feels quiet and secluded at the same time!

    There's not much to dislike. This isn't elegance at its finest - its comfort and simple ammenities for a relaxed lake vacation. The parking lot is small, but during our stay we had no problems finding a spot. I think if you go on a weekend during peak season it might be a challenge.

    Superb location right on Lake Flower on the outskirts of the city of Saranac Lake. The location was generally quiet and calm with a TON of ammenities that made this stay extremely worth it. We were in a great location for hiking St. Regis and Ampersand Mountains, and my friends and I were very pleased with being able to take kayaks out on the lake. The room we had was a standard double with two double beds. It was small but efficient. The room was clean - even smelled clean and fresh when we opened the door. They have an ice box and water refill station which we used quite frequently since we were hiking. The icebox was well maintained and I had no qualms about cleanliness. The staff were very friendly, went out of their way to show you around and checked in if you needed anything. I am very pleased!!

    Bathrooms are small and a bit tight.

    Water view rooms had beautiful scenery to wake up to or chill at the end of the day. Pool was surprisingly pleasant, perfectly ph/chlorine balanced; actually thought it was salt water.

    It could have been free to stay there. They could have served us breakfast in bed. There could have been a massage therapist on duty all day.

    Yes indeed it was great. We had a spectacular visit. We love the area and Gautiers was perfect for us. Inexpensive, clean and centrally located

    Almost nothing really negative to say. Some extra traffic noise from the closeness to the road wasn’t great. The occasional neighbor smoking was yucky.

    Location - obviously. Wow! Worth the splurge for balcony to stare at the lake and mountains and trees. Ahhhh….. Although I did not use them, I appreciated the kayaks and canoes available for use. Saw many folks using them. A few good restaurants and Aldi grocery store right nearby.

    It was expensive for what is was at well over $500 for two nights. It was iron man marathon weekend so cost per night was increased at nearly double the rate than the next weekend.

    Quaint inn within walking distance to restaurants and stores in saranac lake town. Beautifully located on lake flower as well and nice to have bicycles and kayaks available for use. The room was clean and beds comfortable.
