Great place for an Adirondack adventure

Gauthier's is a family run lake side inn. We have returned every year since discovering it because it totally suits our needs. It's not fancy, but it has kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, life jackets, fishing poles, bikes and helmets to use while you're there. The hotel is right on the lake with miles of lake and river to be explored. There is an absolutely wonderful bike/walking trail that runs from Tupper Lake to Lake Placid with easy access to it behind the Aldi's which is maybe 100 yards from the hotel. There are several really great restaurants within easy walking distance (which is great if you want to down a few Margaritas!) The owner is so knowledgeable about the area, and loves to give you ideas to spend your time. The facility itself is dated, it was built in the 1920's, so the rooms, particularly the bathrooms are small by today's standards. But the beds are comfortable, the TV works, the air conditioner is fine, showers have nice hot water. I recommend it for any adventure loving folks, especially families.

Great Family-Friendly place

Its a quaint family-run establishment. The beds are a bit hard, but its a lovely place to enjoy the Adirondacks. Directly on Lake Flower with free use of their kayaks, canoe, bikes, etc. Overall a very family-friendly establishment.

The room was not very clean, especially the floor. Dust and cobwebs. Cabinet door falling off, shower grout missing. AC noisy. Beds very old. Stone wall outside falling apart. Just very old and in need of repairs and upgrades.

Nice to be on the lake

It's what I would expect for a motel in the Adirondacks. The kayaks, bikes and staff are great.

Definitely a 3 star property. The location was great and the management friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms have no privacy, the beds were too high, the floors had no rugs. Definitely a compromise for the price.

The lake view & activities were cool. The pool was a bit outdated but the kids loved it. You can not check in before 3, we got here early but the staff (guy) was friendly. Great location & walkable to a few great restaurants.

Beautiful little place right on saranac lake. Our room had a private balcony and was very comfortable. Forget those higher priced accommodations. This little gem was very pleasant for us and our wallet.

The room had an overwhelming smell of bleach that barely wet away with all of the windows and door open. No place to put things in the bathroom. Need more shelves and hooks.

It was off season which may account for it being so quiet. The use of bikes, canoe, kayaks complete with life jackets all at your fingertips at no cost when ever you needed it, was great. And you are right on the lake!!! Manager and staff were very friendly.
