What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 257 guest reviews
Wildwood on the Lake earns consistently high marks for its stunning lake and mountain views, spotless grounds, and the warm, knowledgeable presence of its family owners. Minor drawbacks surface around an ageing mattress, an unlocked entry door flagged as a security concern, and a modest breakfast offering that amounts to pointing guests across the street. Overall, the sentiment across these reviews is strongly positive, with guests repeatedly citing it as excellent value in a prime Adirondacks setting.
