Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs. We appreciated the coffee station and porches, the window a/c unit for the hot nights, the opportunity to meet other guests, and the fascinating history of the house. I would be glad to return. Thank you!

Safe, Cozy, and Snow-Ready – Highly Recommended!

Had a wonderful stay! The host was great—friendly, responsive, and ensured everything was perfect. The place was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. It also handled heavy snow well, making it a safe and comfortable stay even in harsh weather. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Totally what I expected. The property has a great story. Nothing fancy but I did not expect it to be and I did not want it to be. Super clean. Friendly staff. Low price. Felt very comfortable and secure. Will definitely go again and again.

John is very personable. It would be helpful to have internet and passwords in the rooms (added to the guests notes sheet?), and listed in the front “coffee” room. Otherwise, quiet and comfortable. It may be challenging, though, to reach someone if there is a problem.

The manager ( John ). Was very rude when questioned about getting clean towels and overall lack of housekeeping. Furnished with Vintage furniture in poor repair, the desk litterely collapsed while sitting at it. TV didn’t work, Manager claimed that was bc our room doesn’t have cable, despite there being a cable attached . Undoubtedly one of the worst places we have ever stayed

In its previous life it was a tuberculosis sanitorium. Rooms are named for the mountains in the ADK. There is a property manager, John, on site, but check in is dependent on receiving an email with information about your room #, etc. I found the confusion of guests when they first arrive is calmed by guests who have already gone thru the process and help them understand how it works. Outdoor shoes are to be left in the main porch, and only indoor shoes are to be worn inside. Do not lose your key or lock yourself out of your room; there may be no one on site to help you. No one enters your room to empty trash or make beds or change out towels during your visit. The parking lot is rough, so it's best to unload your car at the door and then park. I opted to pay at the facility, however there isn't a way to pay there. They should remove that option on Expedia, because I am still trying to find a way to pay for my stay after I have departed. They have yard games and a pinball machine in the basement. They are located very close to the Adirondack Rail Trail, so it was a great place for us to be.

Bathroom quaint - reminder of college days

Arrived to the Prescott House between 3 and 4 pm; booking stated to show ID and alert staff to arrival. Discovered notes left; remove shoes at door!! Not to wear shoes inside....spoke with other 'renters' - they never received emails or information either. Rooms were open with keys in doors, just take the key out and lock the door. We did find and speak with a staff member on site, no information given except that I should have received an email fully disclosing everything. Never received the email; explained that to staff - he said it was probably sent after I checked my email. (Checked again after talking with him, still no email) received an additional bill on my credit card for $13. - Not quite sure what that was for! I thought parking was free, and we didn't drink any of the coffee in the front room. Cameras every where on site, in hallways, entry way, and watching our shoes - so I knew our foot wear was safe! Just an odd experience.
