We only stayed here to rest, relax, and sleep-in. But, the heater in our room woke us up every 15 minutes because it sounded like freight train was coming through the wall (it was 37°, so turning it off wasn't an option). In addition, construction on the site started at 7:45am and went on all day. It was a little tough getting our loggage to our room as it was all gravel and wood chip surfaces, so you couldn't roll a suitcase. Finally, the miniscule bathrooms had no place to put anything and the kiddie-size toilet was a nightmare to get on and off of. It was an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS location, the breakfast room availability was nice, and the fireplace and view were great. So, if you don't stay in one of the small cabin-like rooms, and the construction is finished...it would be a really nice place to stay! This just wasn't our experience.

Room was nice and bed was comfortable. Be prepared to go online to check in. No staff on Mondays and Tuesdays. Restaurant is closed both days. No coffee in lodge. 2 coffee pods (2 cups of coffee) in room for 2 night stay. Can't use canoes or paddle boards those days since no one is there to give you a life vest or paddles. Beautiful lake view off docks and at the lodge. The grounds were nice.

My wife and I stayed at Great Pines for only one night to enjoy the Adirondacks for a day in the fall. Our room faced the lake and it had a beautiful view. I loved the fact that the rustic lobby was opened all the time and we were able to enjoy that beautiful room in the evening with a glass of wine and during the morning as we enjoyed our coffee time. The continental breakfast didn't offer too much but it was fine. I love the Adirondack feel to this place and we will definitely stay at Great Pines again.

The Room has a beautiful view of the lake and the staff was very helpful in honoring our request for room 26. We had stayed in this room in the past and enjoyed it very much. However there were a couple issues that we experienced last year and they still there now. One being the toilet it was very loose and needs a new wax seal or just tightened up. Probably replacing would be the way to go.There is a screen missing from one of the window for the past two years.It seems that general maintenance. is lacking which is to bad because it is a beautiful piece of property.

I wanted to love Great Pines, but instead, they almost ruined our tenth anniversary. I made reservations 3 months in advance, exchanged texts and spoke to them on the phone 3 times, making special arrangements, but when we arrived Thursday late afternoon for our two-day romantic getaway after driving hours to get there, we were told they had cancelled our reservation 6 weeks prior and had emailed us to let us know. They did not. The room was paid for at booking. They said they had refunded the money when they cancelled. They had not, but it was quietly credited to my card within an hour of our conversation. They could have easily picked up a phone and made a call, but they did not. Instead, they blamed Expedia. Then, we were told a bride had wanted the entire resort for her wedding, so our reservation was cancelled. After my husband spoke to the manager and I sat in the car crying, we were offered an out-of-the-way room for the night, but told we would have to leave first thing in the morning. No, thank you. I was furious. After all my planning and multiple calls to make sure everything was perfect, someone with more money came along and ruined my plans. If they had at least called, I would have been upset, but I would have had time to make other plans. Great Pines showed very poor management and didn't even have the professional grace to handle things kindly.

It had a great lake view - if you walked over to see it. No staff on hand to ask questions. No bar or restaurant while we were there. Its more of a self serve kinda place. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable.

The grounds are very nice, classic ADK atmosphere. The lobby and great room is cozy and wonderfully decorated. Our room was what we expected at an older lodge. Some stains on the carpet and very dusty iron bed frame. No air conditioning but we had a noisy fan. Breakfast was self serve coffee, tea, juice. Bagels and individual packets of hot and cold cereal. The view was worth the trip. Lots of seating outside to enjoy the lake. This is not a hotel, it a lodge and if that’s what you are looking for this is the place to be. It’s perfect if an Adirondack experience is what your looking for.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay. The food and service at the restaurant were great. Our lodge room overlooking the lake was almost perfect. The bed was comfortable and the view from the shared deck was beautiful. We enjoyed the free use of a canoe. For the price, it would have been nice to have some non carb options for breakfast.
