    The only thing i would ding the facility on is the mold in the bathroom shower. It's easy to bleach or use some other cleaning agent/strip and re-caulk... For the price and being a recently updated and an otherwise cleanly kept facility, there should be no black mold like that. It was quite a bit in the caulked areas. really recommend that be taken care of. But otherwise, we loved it.

    Absolutely loved the location- right on the water. property sits up high so there is a very big view of the lake. We Also loved the look of the lodge - which had a very classic adirondack lodge feel with a giant moose head over a stone fireplace. The front porch was so welcoming and relaxing, and it caught a nice breeze like a wind tunnel. I also really liked that we could check in remotely and had keyless entry (pad with code). Rooms were remodeled and modern yet rustic, so they felt cozy but fresh, with super comfortable beds. We rented a pontoon and had use of the dock, and there is a fenced in area for dogs. Loons on the lake calling at night were the finishing touch!

    The smoke alarm flashes green and a bright light all night long.

    Keyless entry, all on line. Love the location and parking. Having a bar and restaurant on site is great. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy.. The shower was a little tight . Love the grab and go breakfast.

    There is not a lot open in the off season.

    I have stayed at the Great Pines often in the off season. I continue to come back because I know I'll have a good bed, clean room and fantastic views to enjoy. I really enjoy the pick me up coffee and breakfast items and the casual atmosphere. It is always nice to sit in the great room near the fire place and quietly read or chat with other guests.

    This property was beautiful! We often stay in the ADK, but being close to the water was superb! It was very quiet! The balcony was gorgeous to enjoy the view of the lake! We love the ADK but this was accessible for all the hiking trails we were interested in. We loved our stay!

    There was not enough hot water for the jacuzzi tub. This was the only thing that was disappointing about the stay as we booked that room specifically for that.

    We truly enjoyed the view, our room, the Christmas activities in the main lobby and the overall ambiance.

    The bathroom in our room was ok the shower was small and the shower head was set to high and you couldn’t adjust it

    The location just outside of Old Forge, we were there in the off season however with the water front just outside the property this place must be a great place in its peak season

    I'm only doing this part because you asked, and since you did, I noticed a few practical things. They wouldn't dissuade me from staying again. I'm already planning on it. The room is spacious enough for task lighting. One pendant type light over the coffee area and the little breakfast table (super cute). Given how far away the store is, a microwave is almost a necessity, assuming the goal in staying there is to enjoy the lake, the sauna, a bonfire, the peace and quiet - not going to the store or out to eat. I mentioned the restaurant wasn't open (seasonal closure) so we couldn't eat dinner there, but with how I eat I'd likely bring half "home" and would want to heat it up. The bathroom does not have a separate heat source, which is pretty much the only thing I didn't like.

    The room was wonderfully spacious, jacuzzi tub in the room, not bathroom. Super cool. The bathroom itself was utilitarian but nice (had black washcloths and ample make up remover, loved that). Fridge, Kurieg and the pods provided were Starbucks Pike Place Market. The breakfast spread in the main building, which is gorgeous, was balanced and had everything I'd excpect but nicer. They had *gingerbread granola yall* AND a lone container of Lucky Charms lol, I couldnt believe it. My daughter (14) has a new favorite place! The bed was was super comfy, tv selection was great (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, noteably), plenty of outlets for chargers and the Alexa said "bye" when we left. The views. <sigh>. This lake and Old Forge are very near and dear to my father's side of the family. Nativity goes back to my great grandfather (Cheyne). It was a significant occasion for us as another Cheyne, my aunt, was visiting also. The fact that it was very much off season, I didn't get to try the restaurant, seasonally closed), it was perfect. It was crisp, clear vibrant yet so comforting and soothing. I couldn't have asked for better.
