We stayed at the Cobble Mountain Lodge for 5 nights while visiting Lake Placid during the Jul 4th weekend.Our main reason for choosing this was to get the true Adirondack experiance of staying in a real log cabin with a kitchenette so we could cook simple meals. Cobble Mountain was perfect in every way - we stayed at a one-room cabin for 3 of us. Being slightly cramped was a part of the true log cabin experience for us!

We had no problems at all during our stay - we typically left for the oudoors every morning after breakfast and returned by night. The lodgekeeper Gar was very accomodating to all of our housekeeping requests, from extra towelling to diswashing liquids. The cabin's cost was less than $100 a night, even during the holiday weekend. It is a pleasant 15-20 min walk to the main Lake Placid shopping and restaurants from here. For peace, quiet and a truely rustic experiance, Cobble Mountain Lodge sure beats regular hotels.

Just returned from 2 nights at Cobble Mountain Lodge.The
cabin we stayed in was #17.Here goes......First the good.
Very clean cabin.New appliances in kitchen. Marvelous adirondack decor.Nice gas fireplace.New countertops,cool
twig and bark lamps in bedroom.Reasonable price,esp. for
lake placid. Now the Bad......... The place was under serious construction when we were there. We didn't know before arrival.
The parking and getting to our cabin was tight and tricky due
to the work being done.People were working on the cabins,in
various stages of construction, our entire stay. Not very private.
No curtains on any of the windows in cabin.Shades only.
Website says king size bed in cabin,Full size in reality.(unless
you were supposed to take the two mattresses on the floor in the loft,and stick them together)We tried to sleep on the full size bed,
the first night,but were not comfortable.Seems the frame was
not in proper position underneath.
Tired bedspread.Thin pillows.There were six in all in the cabin,and we took three apiece to try to be comfortable.
Second night of our stay we went up to the loft to sleep.Steep
stairs up to loftand we had to crawl around up there due to the
ceiling height. The wood work was very nice,but we were not comfortable.Old futon in front of fireplace needs to be replaced.
Definately not an option for sleeping.
Need lamps in living room/kitchen area.The only lighting was
from a glaring ceiling fan,and a microwave night light.
TV was a good size,but placed up too high to be comfortable watching it in the living room area.You could see it better from the loft if you watched it in between the railings up there.
Cabins are all close together,and we had to keep the shades drawn all the time.The place has some wonderful things about it,but lacking in comfort,etc......You can see they are working
hard to make this a nice place to stay,and I wish them luck on
all the work that lies ahead.

If you want to budget your money after spending
a few thousand to fill up your gas tank, go here ! [...]
"They Allow Pets"

This motel and cabins is a short car ride from the main shopping/tourist area of Lake Placid. It's right across from the golf course. The prices are very reasonable and they have remodeled almost all of the cabins in Adirondack twig and bark decor.
Cabin no. 10 has a king size bed and a sleeping loft as well as a small fridge. That's our favorite so far.
Once we stayed in a quirky room upstairs in one of the cabins where the shower slants along with the slope of the ceiling - tall people beware.
The motel rooms are fine, but the cabins are better.
There's a sauna building on property and a children's playground. This is the place to stay to avoid the high prices downtown.
