I want to keep this review short. It would be easy to write a 'book'. I enjoyed everything about my stay at the 'nook'. My host was beyond nice and helpful. The apt was clean and cozy. If I had a question, the host would get right back to me with help, tip or suggestion. If I head back that way, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them first. 5 stars!!!

Mary and Kevin are great hosts - helpful, knowledgeable, solicitous and unobtrusive. The Nook was spotlessly clean, and comfortable throughout. The very walkable RailTrail being adjacent is a huge plus, and generally getting around town by foot or car is not difficult (but it's the Adirondacks - there are hills). We were looking for just a few days to relax and got them at the Nook. We would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bartel

Host profile image
We love the Adirondacks. We moved here together in 1988 so we could live an active yet peaceful mountain lifestyle. We enjoy all seasons playing outdoors - hiking, biking, canoeing, x-c skiing and snow shoeing. Let us help you love the Adirondacks.

Why they chose this property

The peaceful nature of the facility, special services we can offer, and the convenient downtown location has proven to work well for many guests. It's central location in the tri-lakes region makes it a great hub with easy driving distances for 'much to do and see' in the woods, on the water, or strolls through the town and village. We enjoy sharing our home and meeting people from all around the state, country and the world!

What makes this property unique

The Nook is like home yet a floor below there are holistic services available: yoga and qi gong group or private classes, meditation, yoga therapy, reiki, and sound healing. Check the Inner Quest Yoga & Wellness Center website. Currently, due to COVID, group classes are suspended and three weekday classes are being held virtual via ZOOM.
