Outstanding B&B!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/09/08
My husband and I first stayed at Alynn's Butterfly Inn in June 2000. We were attending the annual Americade event in Lake George, NY which is approximately 10 minutes from the Inn. Americade is a motorcycle touring event. I found the Inn on the web and after viewing the pictures and information decided to call and book. After speaking with Lynn Smith, who so graciously answered all of my questions, I booked a room. This was our first experience with a bed & breakfast and I was quite nervous as I am not used to sharing living quarters with people I do not know.
When we arrived at the Inn, we were greeted by Al & Lynn Smith, the Innkeepers. After some congenial conversation they gave us a tour of the Inn and the property. We immediately felt at home with them and with our surroundings! The rooms are all decorated in butterfly themes and, as I am a bit fussy about cleanliness, everything was immaculately kept! The Innkeepers reside in a carriage house atop a three car garage on the property, therefore, my husband and I were ecstatic that we could keep our motocycles dry, clean and safe during our stay there.
We have since stayed at the Inn 10 times, whether it was for Americade, our anniversary (which is in January) or in October for the World's Largest Garage Sale, there is always something to do or see. We've snowmobiled, snow tubed, explored the breath-taking views, shopped (great outlets) and dined (OUTSTANDING cuisine and generous portions). There is also skiing within ten minutes and the Inn is at the bottom of its own mountain! We have met some fantastic people at the Inn, and I've found all of the guests I have met to be congenial and prepared with interesting conversation. The nature there is just beautiful and the Smith's couldn't be more hospitable! Not to mention the delicious breakfasts at the Inn daily!
Needless to say, we have found (and returned to time and time again) an outstanding and affordable place to stay!
