Visited FLI for my wife's Birthday. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and given a tour of the property. We were then shown to our room (Fieldstone). Fresh flowers and a Birthday card were waiting for us, along with fresh baked cookies. We enjoyed a leisurely afternoon, and found our way to the billiard room for complimentary wine and snacks.... more

This was my second stay at The Friends Lake Inn, and I found it just as charming as the first time I visited. The food is absolutely excellent, the wine list is staggering, and the rooms are sumptuous. The one downside is that the inn is NOT on the lake. To call it lake view is pushing it...a couple of... more

We stayed here one night and it was fabulous. The rooms are neat, clean and charming. The food and service at the restaurant are A+. the wine list was 92 pages long and a pleasure to read. The lake across the street is really beautiful and they have canoes and kayaks for use by the guests. Very romantic and very... more

This place was great! Brought my wife for her bday weekend and can't wait to get back. Very cozy and charming feel and the room was so comfortable and relaxing. The staff were very courteous and helpful and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to visit the region. The restaurant was excellent with an abundant wine list and... more

After spending four wonderful days in Vermont, we were disappointed in our accomodations at Friends Lake Inn. We checked in and were taken upstairs to our room. It always makes a nice impression when you walk into your room and it's cool and refreshing and the lights are turned on. Our room was hot and stuffy and the hostess remarked... more

The Friends Lake Inn deserves moire custom than it was getting the night we stayed. Its restaurant was notable for a fine and imaginative menu, a splendid wine list -- not because it features some stratospherically priced wines, though it has some of those -- but because the reasonably priced wines (in effect the house wines) were of superior quality.... more

In terms of food (mainly dinner) and service, the Friends Lake Inn does not disappoint. Indeed, it is first rate. The biggest positive: Dinner was heavenly, truly delicious and relaxing. And our server, Paul, as well as the other female server (whose name I did not get), could not have been nicer or more helpful. Paul recommended an inexpensive red... more

The view from our room was worth the trip alone. Friends Lake is a gorgeous, clean and weedless lake. Our room was beautiful, soothing and very clean with comfortable bedding and chairs. The bathroom had a steam shower and two pedestal sinks. The best part is this; The price of your room includes breakfast and dinner daily and homemade chocolate... more

What a cozy, yet cosmopolitan spot for comfort and attention in the Adirondack Mts.! We enjoyed our accommodations, and the service was top-notch. The restaurant and wine-focus were truly special, though. We love wine and had a chance to try wines we would rarely take the opportunity to seek out. We came home with all sorts of ideas for new... more

I first enjoyed FLI when the former owners ran it. They now own another inn close by...They worked on "The Honor System"..You'd have a reservation & they would not take your credit card until you came to them at the end of your delightful stay. I remember saying to them "I was born & crazed in NYC, you are going... more
