“Weekend Getway, you will never want to leave, what a view!!!”
(Delmar, NY)
We spent a romantic weekend together at Gauthier's this May. The owners were so kind and accomodating, I beleive they said they had taken the buisness over about a year ago from the previous owners, and had made some comfortable improvements. Right away we felt at home! I would recommend Gauthiers to anyone. We atayed in room 31. The room had the best shower (like a massage)! Our room had a 4 post bed, with a sofa/ sitting area as well. The bedding was lovely. What was the best was the view! We could wake up to the sun coming up right over the lake! It was also nice to enjoy their home brewed coffee on the porch. They had lots of recommondations of things to do, where to eat and how to enjoy our private weekend. We were so close to everything, but still enjoyed time alone. Our next romantic weekend will definatley include Gauthiers, exspecially when you get all the bonuses for half the price!

“WHY STAY ANYWHERE ELSE”
(NYC, NY)
We stayed at Gauthiers Saranac lake this May. The weather was beautiful, and what a location. We have spent upwards of $300.00 a night to stay in Lake Placid, and for only being 5 miles away, we spent more than half the money and had a much nicer set up. The owners are young and very friendly and also live on site. They were avalible for whatever we needed. The rooms have just been upgraded with cozy clean linens (I think they were Ralph Lauren) and decorative touches. The view is amazing! It was nice because we really didn't want to leave. The kids were safe to play and has plenty of property to run around on. They had Basketball and tennis, plus boats for us to use! We enjoyed sitting on out deck and staring at the view! There were plenty or restaurants (we liked "Casa") right across the street. We recommend staying here to everyone!

“Room 29 Fabulous 360 Degree View”
(Stuyvesant, NY)
Have stayed at Gauthiers several times and love the corner single room with one queen bed. You can see the mountains and the lake; private and comfortable. Love to eat at Casa (Mexican restaurant) across the street and ski at Whiteface. Drive is only 8 miles to Lake Placid where the prices to stay and eat are MUCH higher. Also, this is a great place for families--kids can canoe or paddleboat right from the shore of the motel property.

“Lovely location”
(NY, NY)
I stayed at Gauthier’s last month and can recommend it. We had already tried some of the other motels in the area but we chose Gauthier’s because of the beautiful lakeside location. We had a room - clean & comfortable - with a balcony overlooking the lake and the sunset was beautiful! The owner lives on site and is very friendly; there are boats and canoes at the motel that you can borrow for free and there's a supermarket and some fast food places minutes away by car (our best dinner was pizza and beer sitting on the balcony and enjoying the sunset).
