Harbor Hill Inn & Cottages, Saranac Lake

We stayed in the Algonquin cabin which is considered to be the "honeymoon" cabin. It was very rustic and romantic and we were very comfortable there with the exception of a few problems with the heater. We thoroughly enjoyed the stone fireplace and hot tub. However, their advertising is deceitful because it appears you will be on a lake in the woods. In actuallity, you are on a narrow section of the lake across from a major roadway. All of the trees are behind the inn. In the summer I think the traffic would be distracting. The drives are so steep a 4 wheel drive is mandatory for the winter. The drives were sanded but not very thoroughly and ours was blocked off so we had to walk up and down the steep hills every day. I was put off by the requirement that we replace any paper products we used. Even a Super 8 gives you toilet paper. And they wanted us to strip the bed and gather the towels and the end of our stay. We felt that at $265 a night they could do it themselves! The light bulbs were such a low wattage that you literally could not read at night. There was no soap in the shower so we had to buy our own. Bottom line is.......A for comfort and atmosphere; C for location and F for everything else.
