What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 151 guest reviews
Prescott House ADK earns strong, consistent praise for its historic charm, walkable Saranac Lake location, comfortable rooms, and warm innkeepers who create a genuinely homely atmosphere that stands apart from standard hotels. The main drawbacks are practical: bathrooms are dated and cramped, and the property shows some maintenance shortfalls including lingering construction debris. Guests who prioritise character and value over polished modern facilities will find it an excellent base for ADK outdoor adventures.
