Great place to stay! Definitely recommend Pine Terrace Motel for anyone looking to have a nice, clean, and relaxing stay in the Tupper Lake Area. The owners are lovely and super helpful people, that provide great service. The cabins are very clean and cozy, with full kitchens. The property has lots of great places for the whole family to hangout, play games, or setup a campfire. The lake is right across the street, with private access where you can keep your own kayaks/ boats, or you can rent great ones from the owners. If you don’t want to swim in the lake, you can swim in the pool instead. We’ve been coming for years in groups of 10/20/30 people and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, as we love Tupper Lake and Pine Terrace Motel.
If you are looking for beautiful nature, peace, quiet, away from everyone place for your vacation, that is definitely the spot. Clean, spacious cabins some with direct view of the lake. In the winter with the fire place. There is swimming pool on the property if you do not feel like swimming in the lake. Plenty to do especially if you like hiking, biking, running, kayaking, jet ski or fishing. Close to town with couple nice restaurants either for breakfast or dinner. Great beer and pizza place in town with outdoor seating. Love this motel great hospitable owner coming here for years definitely recommend
Pine Terrace is a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone. The location is perfect with lake view cabins and lake access across the street with boat rentals available. Cabins have fully equipped kitchen (pots, utensils, stove, fridge etc.) and you can have a BBQ by your deck! Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Breathtaking views for reasonable price! We can't wait to book another trip to Pine Terrace. See you soon Pine Terrace Friends!
It was a good experience in the Adirondack Mountains it felt very rustic and felt like you were living in a hut in the forest 100 years ago lowkey. The views were a 10/10 and the rooms felt pretty cozy and the porches were nice. Lots of grass for kids to play on and the lake was right across the street. I would recommend its a very cool setting. Just be aware that the owner might yell at you if you are loud she could be mean aka a & m & m Lol.
Great location for a paddling/hiking base camp. Owners are wonderful /friendly and work hard to meet your requests. Lake front access and a pool. State boat ramp is nearby. We stay there every year when paddling in that area. There are also 3 nice hikes in Tupper Lake that are nearby.
I stayed at the Pine Terrace the night before the Lake Placid Half Marathon. The family that owns the motel is wonderful and accommodates to all your needs. The cabin was large and rustic with three beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom! I was able to get a great nights rest in the beautiful town before my race, the beds were very comfortable and the there was a small river outside my window that had a lovely calming sound! If you’re looking for a place to stay for Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, or the high peaks the location is also ideal! Highly recommend!!
This is the most amazing place on the planet for kiddos and adults alike. Between the swimming pool, the lake, hiking and fishing just to start of with in the summer time there’s skiing/snowboarding near by and ice fishing all winter long. What’s better than making s’mores on bonfire by the lake or lil stream right behind the cabins and stargazing with a beverage in your hand and your loved ones by your side :) if that’s not enough there’s archery/gun range, whitewater rafting short drive away or you can just enjoy the peace and quiet and tanning by the pool. Staff is really friendly and always on point with all of necessities. Cabins with the fireplace are amazing, both my kiddos and me love sitting by the fire in the winter. We can’t wait for few days off for our next getaway in beautiful Adirondacks.
Cabin was clean and cozy, management was friendly and accommodating. Location was beautiful, with a great view of the lake. Perfect for anyone who wants to come to the area for the fresh air and Adirondack vibes. It's conveniently close to Tupper lake without being too close and Saranac Lake and Lake Placid aren't too far away.
