RoosterComb Inn

This will be my 4^th time staying at the Rooster Comb Inn. Yes, it is rustic, but also very clean, comfortable, & hospitable. There is a full kitchen with all dishes utensils & cookware should you wish to cook your own meals. The owner makes a wonderful fire each night if you like sitting around a fire under the stars. I come to this area annually & will most definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

This place is really awesome. It is so close to a lot of climbs and hikes. There is a nice diner across the street. There is an excellent full kitchen and bathroom with everything you need as well as wifi. It is great for long stays as well as short stays. Steve, the owner, is a really nice guy. There is a grocery store within walking distance and it is very scenic. It is a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it to everyone.

We stayed here Jan 2015 for the 19^th annual Adirondacks Mountainfest. Not only was it minutes from everything related to the festival, everyone else knew it in case you needed to be brought back to your hotel in the event of injury, too much drinking or if aliens kidnapped you, probed your bodyholes, then left you abandoned, cold and naked by the side of some random dirt road. You gotta think of these things in the ‘Dacks, where you’re about as lucky to get cell phone reception as you are to find someone who isn’t outdoorsy. Besides that, everything was clean (and I always check over and under bed mattresses — 5 stars there, too) and owner Steve is probably not a real person as he’s never seen but always felt, which meant that you could count on privacy, no matter what you were doing and forgot to lock your door. ;)

Spotless, scenic, inexpensive, historic inn near Lake Placid NY. I don’t mind the shared bathrooms (one room has a private bathroom) or bringing my own food (there are plenty of restaurants nearby, too). There is a great communal full kitchen; you can store items in the fridge, use the (busy) coffee maker, and cook your meals there. The owner creates rustic furniture, so his gorgeous handiwork is all throughout the inn.
Other pluses: plentiful hiking trails nearby, outdoor fire pit at night, air conditioner/​space heater in every room, lovely 2^nd floor deck outside the kitchen, perfect mountain views.
I couldn’t get the wifi to work; the housekeeper (who keeps the place immaculate) told me it’s better downstairs. Please note that I didn’t ask the proprietor for help, so maybe I missed something. But I stay in a lot of chain hotels with weak wifi, so I’m used to using my phone wifi when I travel. This is not a complaint, just an observation.
My husband and I LOVE this place and will definitely return!

Steve & the RoosterComb saved our butts during a recent backpacking trip in Adirondack Park. We called after 9pm, and he welcomed us into his Inn. His customer service continued to be top-​shelf throughout our 4-​day stay. Rustic furniture is everywhere (Steve sells it from his other business, Bald Mountain Rustics), and the space is very comfortable. Shared bathrooms, so you plan your showers, but especially for outdoor-​lovers who need a base camp at a reasonable rate — this is your place.
Location is also spectacular — views of the RoosterComb itself, across the street from the Noon Mark Diner and Ausable Inn, and short drive/​walk to the trailhead for the RoosterComb, Wolfjaw, and other peaks.
