We travel to Friends Lake Inn quite often and have never been disappointed. It is obviously a wine lovers dream having achieved Wine Spectator's highest award. Although it is noted for the wine, you don't need to be afraid of the price or your talents at selecting the best wine because the prices cover a wide variety of budgets and... More

An out-of-the-way, private, very classy hotel. Beautiful rooms, an outstanding restaurant, and one of the best wine cellars in upstate New York. Luxurious rooms, with fireplaces and hot tubs available in some, and they even have their own hiking trails, with snowshoes available in the winter. Not a cheap stay, but that's not who it's for; it's for those looking... More

We selected this full-service Inn (located in picturesque Chestertown just beyond the NY Thruway, about 1 hour north of Saratoga Springs) to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary during peak foliage season in mid-October. This romantic getaway spot was nestled in beautiful natural surroundings. We had the benefit of canoeing on a private lake across from the Inn,... More

I booked this INN on a MAP rate including a three course dinner and breakfast for $420, back in August.We were advised at check in that we would pay for drinks on top which I was prepared for .
