Colonial House Ultimate Suites
In July 2007, the inn unveiled its $3.2 million lakeside suites; the Ultimate Suites. The suites reside in the Colonial House which was recently rebuilt on the shores of Mirror Lake. The suites are complete with ten-foot or cathedral ceilings and eight-foot doors that enter into large living areas with stone fireplaces. Each room is accented with oriental rugs, Harden residential furniture, custom-made carved chandeliers and custom mahogany woodwork. The oversized marble bathrooms have in-floor heating and state-of-the-art soaking tubs that are large enough for two. Guests may have in-room spa services, relax on spacious private porches with teak decking and marvel at the best views in the Adirondacks.

Now in its third year, the festival brings together many of the country's top chefs and vintners for three days of wine tastings, culinary demonstrations, a seven-course pairing dinner and a cooking competition. Guests mingle with other food and wine enthusiasts, learn from the chefs and will return home with a file of recipes for personal use.
Theme dinner at The View
The View, the inn's fine dining restaurant serving creative comfort food in a relaxed setting, is now offering theme dinners throughout the year.
