We stayed her for honeymoon 26 years ago and it was magical. Linda and Gene added such a personal touch and we dreamed some day of returning. Every detail was exquisitely executed from the gardens to the food. It was so memorable that we decided to come back for our 26th anniversary this year. We booked a weekend and noticed the weekend before that the ownership had changed. We had high expectations and Linda and Genes shoes were big ones to fill. Understanding this we expected there would be adjustments. Soon arriving we noticed the gardens had been completely overgrown with weeds and unkept. Proceeding to the porch we noticed the house siding and windows were filthy and cobs webs were plenty. The porch was dingy worn and in need of repair. As we entered we noticed they had created a more modern space with a wine bar which, we were told, will soon will be opened to the public with new large leather furniture which dominated the living room. The renovation albums that Linda meticulously created have been replaced with motorcycle magazines. We noticed all the draperies had all been removed and a dank quiet hung over the room. The fairytale charm was gone. Tamara greeted us and explained the changes and explained to us she would be making us breakfast and asked us to pick a time slot and check the boxes from a menu selection she provided . After she showed us to our room (Victoria room) where we stayed the first time. We noticed wall decors had been removed and the magic was gone. We nervously discussed how breakfast would perhaps be changed. I had dreams about returning to the Lamplight Inn for Linda’s delicious chocolate cappacino muffins and only hoped that they would be available in the morning. To our surprise around 7:30am I heard music and the bustling of servers preparing our breakfast and the waft of Genes home fries. Breakfast was delicious and well prepared. Servers were gracious and on cue. Just as we remembered. There were a few changes but definitely a wonderful breakfast minus the personal Linda touches we had loved. If your returning here from a lovely enchanted stay from days gone by you will be sadly disappointed. We feel the website should be updated to allow customers to understand the changes or at least an email at booking. The magic is gone and we can only thank Gene and Linda for creating a beautiful memory for us when we stayed 26 years ago. Sadly we will not be returning as we do not like the direction the new owner are taking it. We feel a wine bar opened to the public would be loud and intrusive to the guests and the lack of upkeep to grounds is terribly sad.

Gene and Linda are fabulous hosts, Gene's potatoes at breakfast are delicious! The location is perfect, far enough away from the hubbub of Lake George but close enought to everything like Saratoga Springs! Excellent Inn with everything you need!! Enjoy the beautiful wrap around porch!

We have stayed a number of times, and in most of the rooms that are all different.Rooms: Some of the rooms have jaccuzi tubs and most have fire places as well.Food & drinks: Breakfast comes with the room and there wine for purchase to take to your room. There is also a fridge to store items over night if needed.

This Inn was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. Hospitality are Gene and Linda's middle name! They are very visible, accommodating and friendly. The breakfasts are amazing- every detail is thought of and the food is tasty! The dining room girls are the best, and the whole atmosphere is like you just stepped back in time to a calm and quaint life!

This is the most grand bed and breakfast you'll ever experience. The rooms are decorated in different luxurious themes with fireplaces & hot tubs. And the owners make you feel like family. And the best part is the breakfast on the sun porch ! To tell you how wonderful everything is and made from scratch is an experience you'll never forget. I'll let you rave about it first hand... from Lexington Kentucky

My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing, weekend getaway. We visited the Ice Castles, which were very nice! The Inn is only about 15 minute drive to Lake George. The Inn is so nice and quaint. We stayed in the Saratoga Suite, had jacuzzi and fireplace, very clean. Gene and Linda are great people and wonderful hosts! Breakfast was phenomenal! Linda bakes her own home made breads and crumb cake, and Gene's waffles are amazing! Our server Amy was very sweet! We highly recommend Lamplight Inn. Can't wait to stay again.
