The location between Old Forge and Inlet is nice. Great views of the mountains and lake. Beds are super comfy, and rooms are a nice size. lodge is welcoming and a great spot to relax and have fun. Breakfast nook had some great lite choices. Staff was helpful and pleasant.
Room was very nice. Clean, well kept. Snacks downstairs were nice. Walls are paper thin and the heat was on absolute full blast which was brutal. Shower was very small and the angle of the shower head was very awkward. Other than that it was a good stay for an evening
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Great Pines. It was beautiful inside the rooms and all around the property. we would love to stay there again!
Loved everything about this property!! Rooms were nice, views were amazing.. very clean

There was no staff. Room was nice-except for the extremely small shower. No outside lights on the balcony. Open cartons of juice and milk in a fridge to help yourself was unsanitary. Loved the lodge type decor.
We are anxiuos to go back! The place is beautiful, refreshing, the room was cozy, very comfortable bed, very clean! Check in was very easy and the staff is amazing!
This is the perfect Adirondack lodging. We stayed in the motel in a double room. It had a spectacular view of the lake. The resort was very tranquil. Self check-in went smoothly. The grounds are very well-maintained. We enjoyed walking along the dock for a close view of the lake front. The property has Adirondack seating with spectacular views, fire pits, and lodge amenities like board games available. The continental breakfast was just what we needed as was the late evening dinner at Lean To restaurant. We will definitely be back!
I actually did not eat the breakfast. I saw some of the fixings… It looked OK I ate at a local diner. The property is beautiful. We love waking up to a lake view. I thought it was a little overpriced for the room that we had which was a corner room very small. The rest of the rooms looked very large. We totally enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful. I would recommend the great Pines as it was recommended to us very cozy.

Liked: Room comfort
The beds were extremely comfortable, however I thinkprice of the room being extremely high for what we got, it was a little disappointing and the bathroom and carpeting are very outdated and old.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean, but dated and very basic. Very little lighting in the room. The heating/AC unit was so loud that we had difficulty sleeping. The setting is beautiful, and the staff was helpful. This venue is more like a camp than a resort.
