Great Pines is my go to place when I need to go to the Adirondack and I always make it a long weekend at the Great pines. The beautiful views and the wonderful lodge make it a great place to relax and reset even if the weather doesn't cooperate.

One night stay. The room was very clean and updated and my husband really liked the outlets next to the bed as well as the echo dot in the room. The self service option was easy to navigate and the bartender at the Lean Two was very fun and personable. I highly recommend his property !!

We really like staying here when we visit our family. The rooms are easily accessible, the views are amazing, and our dog loves that she can stay with us. We appreciate the grab-n-go options, and enjoyed our cup of tea each evening.
