My husband and I came to the Adirondacks to photograph an elopement and of course hike, bike and explore this beautiful neck of the woods. We travel frequently and can I say, the bed was the most comfortable I've slept in, in all our travels. We couldn't even hear the road, it was so quiet, peaceful and had everything we needed. I loved the stone sink in the bathroom and stones in the shower, it was like a foot massage. Even the Adirondack futon/couch was super comfy and so restful after our long hikes and bike rides. Keene has it all and within walking distance to amazing locally owned stores and high end, organic groceries. We will definitely be back. Thank you! Can't wait to recommend your place to our couples. xo @elopewithcorey ##### corey t.
