I have a trail race in the Adirondacks next month. I need to be at the ending site (Piseco, NY) at 4am to catch a bus to the starting place (Wakely Dam). It would be a long drive from home, so I want to stay over night someplace nearby. I think a lot of people are going to stay in nearby campgrounds, but I wanted to sleep in a nice bed! I did a search of the area looking for hotels, motels, cabins, bed & breakfasts etc. I found that right down the road there was a bed & breakfast named The Bear In The Tree Bed & Breakfast. They had a website, so I checked it out. It was a restored farm house, and looked really pretty. I thought my wife would like something like that. They had a couple rooms with queen sized beds for $85/night and one with a king sized bed for $115/night. That sounded like a great deal. We could go up the day before, relax, get a good night sleep, and leave early in the morning.
I called Bear In The Tree Bed & Breakfast and inquired about whether they had a vacancy for the night before the race. The guy paused and said he did have one, but then a guy… Here I thought the guy was going to tell me that a guy had just gotten the last room for that night… he continued… a guy drove a car through their house. What? Apparently someone drove a car through the house at 60 mph and destroyed the rooms. Ouch! So there are no more rooms at the B&B!
The guy did give me the name and number of another local place where I could find a room.
It’s a real shame about the Bed & Breakfast being destroyed. It looked really nice in the pictures and I was looking forward to staying there. Hopefully they rebuild the place. Maybe I can stay there in the future.
You got your facts mixed up. The START is at Piseco the END where you catch the bus is Wakely Dam. The bus goes from Wakely Dam to Piseco.
