My husband surprised me with a trip here for our 18th wedding anniversary, and we had a wonderful stay. The staff were amazing, friendly, and always willing to help. The lodge is located right on the lake, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The complimentary breakfasts were delicious and provided a variety of choices each morning. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it.

Our room was beautiful. The fireplace was electric but high quality. Loved sipping my coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise, wrapped in a blanket at the end of October. Kayaks, s’mores, and jetted tub were also great. Fun having a choice of outdoor fireplaces & pits for a cozy evening cuddle. Breakfast was yummy and served where you wanted it (including in room). Only sad thing was the hot tub was not working when we visited.
View from Oak room.
Snuggling, s’mores and outdoor fire.

Hidden gem in the Adirondacks.

The Fern Lodge was a delightful experience from start to finish. The host was so friendly and accommodating, and she made our anniversary special in many ways. The property had more accommodations than we had time to enjoy - made us wish we had booked more time at The Fern Lodge. I guess we’ll just have to return!

Arrived at 7pm and left at 6am. I had no interaction from the Lodge. Although quiet and peaceful. I felt somewhat insecure, unablento have dinner. The next morning I grabbed a coffee around 6am. I saw no personnel thru my short 12 hours of stay and had no way or nowhere to dine or breakfast due to my arrival and departure time.

If I could give 50 stars i would. I had read the previous raving reviews and confirm...noone was exaggerating. This is a family run lodge with all the personal touches that only families can give. The pictures on the website don't do it justice because its the FEEL of the place and people working there that make this lodging experience so special. What u don't see on the site are small yet significant touches and I will name a few. The rooms are airy and calming. There are 5 rooms (i believe) with individual names. Me and my husband stayed in the cedar room. U can see that someone put their heart and sole into its decor, with high vaulted ceilings, small wood carved trinkets, a large screened in porch with fire pit, a fridge stocked with plastic water bottles, a huge steam shower and jacuzzi, bad sheets that were so comfortable that I actually went online and purchased a set for myself. I don't remember sleeping so soundly. The lodge sits on a pristine lake with kayaks and paddle boards provided. Everywhere u turn, there's another sitting area that faces the lake. Breakfast...amazing, prepared for according to your preferences. And downstairs, a game room with a bar for ordering drinks and even a large movie theatre with lazyboys. They even provide a microwave and popcorn bags...I could go on and on but simply said, I am so glad that I found this place. Hats off to the owners, innkeeper, cook and staff that gave us such a memorable summer holiday. Thank u fern lodge
