New York’s best kept secret - Adirondak style

Room in the InnRose and I recently spent a weekend in a lovely bed and breakfast in the Adirondack mountains. The Saranak Club and Inn is a wonderful boutique bed and breakfast off of Lake Saranac. I cannot recommend this place highly enough to you - with only 6 rooms though you should book well in advance. I was very pleasantly surprised by the customer service I was offered. The owners weren’t around (having scampered off to New York city) and we were taken care of by a Macedonian couple that were as charming as they were conspicuous by their absence (the best kind of hosts in these situations). A few little tales of service for you: I enquired about the in room fireplace - next thing I know it's ready to be lit. I ask about decent restaurants in the area - next thing I know, Nick is on the phone and I have reservations. They even had wifi for me so I could watch England get a thrashing by South Africa in the Rugy world cup on my trusty UK Slingbox (alas, we did what we English do so very well - we lost - gracefully of course). The trip was also memorable by the drive to and from the location - just 5 hours from Rochester, through some very quaint villages and of course the mountain range itself. Such a shame that New York is thought of primarily by its City and not its beauty upstate. I would though recommend it highly to you.
