Dear Lenny, We had a great
time. Loved having the extra room to move around in the house
& the ability to prepare and store a larger amount of food.
Would have liked a little more snow on some of the trails, but
we were still able to ride to Indian Lake & then on to Inlet.
Did not realize that there was not a trail between Blue Mountain
Lake & Long Lake/Tupper lake area as we have been in the Lake
Pleasant/Speculator area in past years. Sorry to hear about the
Gov. of NY wanting to raid snowmobile trial funds to balance the
state budget. Thanks for the use of your facility. Will contact
you if we will be snowmobiling w/a group in NY next year. Sincerely,
--Jane Yerkes
Unit 5, Snowmobilers, Feb 10
PS: I meant that we used to ride from
Speculator to Indian Lake and just assumed that there would
be a trail from Indian Lake to the Long/Tupper Lake area. Now
we know there is not. We did not go past Inlet as we knew that
an additional permit was required for the Old Forge area. We
will look into getting that permit next year & try the trails
in that area also. Thanks Again! Jane Yerkes
Lenny, Everything went extremely
well concerning our stay in Unit #2. You said it right! The accommodations
were perfect for just me and my granddaughter. Everything worked
well (heat, hot water for showers, refrigerator, plenty of TV
channels). The stove developed an attitude...... (I mentioned
this minor problem to your property manager). But that was really
no problem because I only needed one burner to cook breakfast.
We did bring with us some prepared food for our dinners, and with
that we only needed the microwave. Both beds were comfortable
and everything else was clean. In a pinch, I was able to make
it down to Gore in less than your stated 35 minutes, which is
rather convenient to get to. For me, any more than two would be
a little crowded, but for the two of us, again the accommodations
were great! We had such a good time that we may pay you a visit
next year (depending upon my money). Thanks once again for your
hospitality, and I will certainly tell others.

Unit 2, Feb 10
Hi Lenny! We had a fantastic
trip! The house was perfect for twelve, and we all slept warm
and cuddled inside the cabin. We arrived and made a big dinner
of spaghetti and then celebrated a birthday with some cake and
cookies. We found the kitchen and the dining room to be perfect
for our group! In the morning we woke up to a chilly -12 (coldest
any of us have ever been in) but drove down to a small bake-shop
and brought some coffee back. The two ladies working at the shop
were so friendly, and really the night as a whole worked out perfectly.
Thank you so much for all of your help in planning the stay! I've
passed along the information about Blue Mountain Rest to one of
my uncles who snow mobiles in Old Forge frequently, and he may
be in contact with you soon if he can find a weekend to get away!
Thank you again for a great trip!

Hi Lenny, Our stay was very
comfortable, we enjoyed it we were thinking about coming back
in two weeks, do you have any available rooms for January 15th
to the 17th ??? we are thinking about coming up for snowmobiling.
--Gina Napoli and Mathew Jonny

Hi Lenny, We had a great stay
and nothing but good things to say. Plenty to do and you were
helpful with the activities too. Thanks! PS We went to Macaulay
Mountain (small family ski mt nearby).... and had a great time.
-- Gary and Shannan Turkovich
Unit 1, Jan 10
Lenny, We had a blast! We loved
the cabin. Only we wanted our own room, so Alan and I stayed in
the double bed (spare bedroom) and we are use to a King. Ha Ha
we got a bit closer that week. We went to Lake Placid ,Whiteface
and a few small towns that were so quaint. We had more sunny days
than rainy so that was good. We loved the fireplace it keep us
warm and cozy on Christmas Eve and Day. We could have used a couple
supplies but because of the time of year we didn't find much open.
We made do. We would definitely do it again. The views were beautiful!!!!
I love mountains so to have a mountain outside the cabin (they
were viewing Blue Mt) was a real plus many pictures were taken.
Thanks again,
--Sherri Matthews
Unit 5, Christmas Week Dec 09
Hi Lenny. Our stay was just
fine. Accommodations as we expected (returning customer). We had
a great time snow shoe hiking on the Northville Placid trail and
down to Rock Lake. Also enjoyed New Years Eve at Quackenbush (in
Long Lake).. Thanks,
--Gina & Conrad
Unit 1 Dec 09
Dear Lenny, We enjoyed our
stay at your lodge very much. The room was very warm and comfortable,
even though the temperature plunged to -2F when we arrived. I
snowboarded and my husband did a lot of sightseeing and photography.
Thank you very much for hosting us. Happy New Year! Best regards,
--Marcin & Yanina Pokorski
Unit 2 Dec 09
Hi Lenny- We had a great time...the
cabins were very comfortable and we were met with a beautiful
snow storm which left the trails looking like a winter wonderland!
We would like to return on Presidents weekend... is Cabin 2 available?
Also, one of my kids accidentally walked off with one of your
keys. What is the best way to return it? Thanks
--Amy Dodd
Dec 09
Hey Lenny! Just want to thank
you for sticking with me and my reservations to get such a good
deal for us on such short notice. The place was great, it provided
us with a warm, spacious and comfortable stay. We really enjoyed
the skiing although I broke my snowboard! haha We will keep you
in mind for future trips and once again thank you for everything.
Best,
--Dan Colosi
Unit 5 Dec 09
Hi, We had a lovely visit
and would return. ..... we loved the cabin. We loved the fireplace
and had a wonderful fire every night. We had a wonderful time
visiting and never used the large TV. It was nice to have that
as an option. The kitchen was beautifully equipped and easy to
fix meals in. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.
We thought the drive to Gore beautiful. We have happy memories,
would recommend the place and would return. The girls even asked
if we could stay longer. The skiing was very good, some icy areas.
I broke my skiis and my daughter had a concussion. She is fine
now and will wear a helmet. I bought new skiis that do better
on ice. We all had a great time skiing with relatives, 3 other
families with cousins joined us daily. We are all eager to go
back, possibly this winter. Thank you for a special vacation!
You may quote the positive comments.

Hello Lenny, We are at home
in Madrid, remembering our recent vacations and we are writing
to tell you about them. We apologize do not reply to you earlier.
We would had like to phone you at our arrival to USA, as we had
accorded, but it was impossible to make our phone work. Although
we arrived to your place a little late, as we had to drive a long
way from Niagara Falls, we enjoyed very much our stay at Blue
Mt Rest. The landscape was amazing; we were took a great many
of pictures. On our way to Blue Mt Rest we had bought some food
and we all prepared our dinner in the big house (Unit 5) and all
was perfect. The houses (cabins) were cozy, warm and comfortable.
The big one was fantastic. On behalf of our entire group, thank
you very much! Best regards from Madrid,

Hi! We were all greatly elated
on how nice the "Homestead" was. The "cabin"
was very clean and well stocked with towels, blankets and pillows.
I can not give you a "con" on our stay as we have already
began talking about our next visit to Blue Mountain Rest. We
loved the area and our hike to Castle Rock (local hiking trail)
was a little long but worth the view. We ate in Indian Lake and
the food was great in both places we went. Thanks for a great
vacation experience!
--Becky Spike
Unit 5, Oct 09
Dear Lenny, Thank you very
much for a wonderful stay. We all had a great
time and could not get over how much we enjoyed your area. I learned
so much about the Adirondacks and cannot wait until we can return
again. We had a great experience with Camp Sagamore and a wonderful
cruise on the WW Durand, we had a memorable visit to
the Adirondack Museum and would have really lost out if we
did not go to that, it was a real treat! We loved staying in
the cabin and we were all very comfortable........Thank you again
for your generosity. It is much easier for me now to be able to
recommend a trip to the Adirondacks after being able to experience
a part of what your area has to offer. Next visit I would
like to do more hiking and would like to canoe or kayak.
Thanks again.

Hi Lenny, I had very a comfortable
stay in your Unit 3 recently. I was camping at Lake Durant and
the weather took a turn for the worse. It actually snowed the
first morning when I woke up at camp. Now, I love the outdoors,
but when your feet are freezing, a nice warm room looks very palatable.
I was lucky to find a room available that evening at your establishment.
To my surprise, the unit was an efficiency, which meant that I
could cook the food that I had already purchased. The unit was
well equipped, comfortable, reasonably priced and very clean.
There was also satellite TV and WI-FI which came in handy to manage
my eBay store. I am also a photographer and your kitchen table
was a great place to view the pictures from the day on my laptop.
Blue Mountain Lake is one of my favorite places in ADK. I happened
upon it a few years ago while on a whitewater rafting trip. Since
then I have set aside a week in the summer and a week in the fall
to visit this special place, and I even came up on Christmas once.
Thanks for the wonderful stay. The only other thing I could ask
for would be a wood burning fireplace, then it really would be
completely perfect for me. I'll check out your website for the
specials.
Thanks,
--Cindy Kohl

Dear Lenny, We had a very enjoyable
stay at Blue Mt. Rest. Nancy (our property mgr.) was
very friendly and very willing to help us with our stay.
Blue Mt. Rest is located conveniently to most attractions.
We will think of Blue Mt. Rest for our future visits to your area.
--Chet & Barb
Unit 6, Oct 09
Lenny, It was great up there.
We got a bunch of rain that Sunday, so that dampened our plans
a bit. Also, our neighbor was doing some serious AM cooking and
set off the smoke alarm for about 15 minutes around 7:30am...
the joys of camping I was very much impressed with the accommodations.
We hope to go up next time for a week and get to enjoy some more
of the area.
I appreciate the follow up!
--Keith Murley
Unit 2, Sept 09
Hi! We definitely enjoyed
our stay, although I didn't really take in consideration how small
a camper bathroom can be :P. The area was beautiful and it was
very easy for us to find places near by to either sight-see or
shop, especially with the information Nancy gave us and what was
in the unit for us. It is definitely a place we WILL consider
in the future, although we would probably go for an actually cabin
unit. Thank you again!!
--Nico Steenhuis
Unit 6, Sept 09
Hello - we had a lovely stay,
and if we're in the area again, we'll certainly contact BMR again
to see if you have a vacancy. We really appreciated the cleanliness
of the place, and also the fully-equipped kitchen. That was a
real plus. When renting efficiencies or kitchenettes, one never
knows if the kitchen will have much equipment, and it's really
nice when the kitchen has some nice pots and pans and equipment,
as yours did, so that it's possible to put a good meal together.
We also enjoyed the poetry in the hotel information binder. Have
a good winter!
--Anne Ofstedal
Unit 3, Sept 09
Hi Lenny, We had a great stay
with you. The lady who runs the place for you (Nancy our property

Hello Lenny, Our stay at Cabin
#5 was very comfortable on September 17 & 18, 2009.
Everything... was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Your
manager on site (Nancy) was most gracious and told us anything
we needed just ask. She was very helpful! We are definitely planning
to be back next year, I will be calling you soon, thank you very
much.

Dear Lenny, scott and i had
a great vacation! of course, we had a beautiful week of weather.we
stayed in unit #3 and it was more than we expected! no problem
with anything. we are coming back to see you in oct.09 to stay
in the camper.we recently started kayaking and we were in 7 lakes
in 6 days!!!! came home exhausted but happy.thanks for everything!
--judy and scott francisco
unit 3, Sept. 09
Lenny, this is certainly overdue
but wanted to reply that our stay there was good. We were highly
impressed with the Adirondack area...how serene and beautiful.
Hopefully the state keeps development to a minimum. That museum
was excellent! We stayed in No. 5. Don't have much to say because
it fully met our expectations. Clean, spacious, nearly like home
with the kitchen, living room area, and deck. And quiet! I honestly
can't think of any weaknesses. There are just two non-house related
things that you might want to do: (1) put directions in your detailed
confirmation e-mail and a phone number of the onsite manager.
We realized as we were approaching BML that we weren't sure where
to go once we got to the highway junction! Luckily, someone was
walking his dog on the road and he knew where your place was.
(2) The restaurants, stores, etc. in Indian Lake aren't that great.
We found the commercial scene in Long Lake much better (and Old
Forge for groceries). Thank you Lenny,

Lenny, Everything was fine........
It turned out to be good that we still had the room Friday afternoon,
since we went back and took showers after catching 50+ fish and
before returning to Syracuse. I would recommend BMR to others
in the future! Thanks again,
--John & Joan Dannenhoffer
Unit 3, Aug 09
Lenny, I just want to
let you know that we enjoyed our stay in unit 5 (Homestead). The
cabin was clean, comfortable, and had all the basic utensils and
the items we needed. We liked the view from the large deck in
the back. And the view through the living room window
was really gorgeous. The property managers were friendly and helpful.
BTW, we were also impressed by the honesty of Nancy? (our
property manger), I overpaid by mistake, and she returned
the extra cash. Thanks,
--Mengis
Unit 5, August 09
Hello Lenny, Our stay
at Blue Mountain was fantastic! We are all so excited to return
for some winter sports. We were able to rent a boat for two days
though our lack of talent showed when we caught zero fish, haha.
The property managers we very helpful and friendly and made us
feel at home. My only regret is not having more time. The camper
was very well stocked and I apologize for a cup that we broke.
Till next time, take care and thank you so much! Sincerely,
--Dominique Saintil
Unit 6- Vacation Camper, August 09
Hello, We stayed at Blue Mountain
Rest 2 nights and while some of us were a little disappointed
that we weren't closer to the water, it did turn out to be a nice
place to calm down and spend quiet time with the family.
We went to the Adirondack Museum and had a good time. Very
interesting and the hands on parts were fun. Your managers
were extremely helpful to us, gave us wood and matches and helped
our son get a fire going. We enjoyed our stay a lot. ............
Having the phone outside Unit 4 was so helpful - we really appreciated
it, especially my older daughter whose steady boyfriend was also
on vacation. Thanks for everything.

Hi Lenny, We enjoyed our stay.
The boat tour of Blue Mountain Lake is highly recommended, informative,
scenic and fun, took a lot of pictures. Golden Beach on Racquette
Lake was really nice for swimming since we didn’t want to
put up with all the road construction in BML while swimming. We
went kayaking on Long Lake and really enjoyed and thought highly
of Racquette Outfitters. They gave us some lessons, helped us
launch the double person kayak and the prices were the best in
the area. It was fun in spite of the wind. We did a lot of shopping
and eating in Long Lake. The waiter at Adirondack Hotel shared
a lot of info on where to go and what to see and do. 2 general
stores were nice to wander around and shop in. We probably liked
Long Lake better than Blue Mountain Lake because there was more
to see and do and the roads in Blue Mountain were torn up but
your location was good since we also wanted to go to Racquette
Lake and Indian Lake for swimming, a movie and a couple of meals.
Your kitchenette saved us some money on meals. .... Overall, it
was very nice.
--Joanne & Steve Callahan
Unit 1 - Aug. 09
Hi Lenny, The Foley family
spent two great days in the Blue Mountain area. Frist off,
we found Unit 2 to be cozy, comfortable and clean. We cooked
spaghetti one day and grilled out for dinner the next. everything
we needed was in the cabin. We made friends with a family
from France (staying in Unit 3) and we taught their sons how to
play baseball and lacrosse. Later that night the French
family brought us jelly-filled crepes for desert. Em-em good!
We enjoyed a day of island exploration on Blue Mountain Lake.
What a beautiful lake. We rented a motor boat from the livery
in town and spent the day island hopping, exploring, jumping off
of island cliffs and hiking. The following day we had a
great time on the Class 3 whitewater (rafting) on the Hudson river.
The guys over at Adirondack Rafting Company in Indian Lake were
great. Take care and if we ever come out your way again,
we'll definitely stay with you.

Hi Lenny, My husband, Fred,

Thanks for the tour of the house. It's really nice.
Loved the deck and campground area in the back too. Hope to see
you next summer. Best of luck to you and your wife with your move
to BML,

Unit 6, Aug 09
Good morning Lenny, We had
a great time for our hiking weekend. It rained Friday evening
and Saturday night, but we were able to do our hike all day Saturday
and the weather was fantastic. We hiked from the Garden across
Little Porter, Big Porter, and Cascade - a great day hike. The
views were outstanding from the tops...... Unit 5 suited us fine
- very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. If the
weather was better on Friday and Saturday nights we could have
used the deck and fire pit..... Blue Mountain Lake is very peaceful,
it's just a shame that there's not a lakefront restaurant in town,
similar to Quckenbush's in Long Lake. (There actually are
two lakefront restaurants open May thru October) We had a great
time and will keep you in mind for next time.

Dear Lenny, Our stay was wonderful
and relaxing. My husband wasn't able to come because he had a
family emergency in North Dakota, so my mom took his place. We
had a wonderful time even though it rained. The house was great!
My 16 month old son slept well there and loved running in circles
through the kitchen and living area. We would definitely like
to come back another time and hopefully get to do more outdoors.
We found all of the local towns, Blue Mountain, Long Lake and
Indian Lake charming. The museum was as good as I remembered too.
Thanks for the great stay!

Unit 2, April 09
Lenny, Just wanted to report
on our stay at Blue Mountain Rest. My family thoroughly enjoyed
themselves and can't wait to get back there. We rode snowmobiles,
went sno tubing, watched two of the biggest blue jays I have ever
seen, played games, enjoyed a fire in the fireplace and totally
relaxed. It was great. The cabin (unit # 5) was perfect and accomodated
11 of us with room to spare. Very clean, functional and inviting.
Everything you could possibly think of was there. No need to bring
anything with us. We loved the decor giving us that total adirondack
feel. A couple of the grandchildren were talking about going home
and changing the decor in their bedrooms to resemble the cabin.
The property managers were tremendously helpful, friendly and
do a great job.. As a grandmother with grown children and grandchildren
it was the perfect spot to bring us all together for some good
times and create memories that we will cherish forever. We are
already talking about another family vacation at Blue Mountain
Rest. Thanks again for everything!

Hi Lenny. We had a great time.
We were a little baffled about where the trail across the street
was because we were looking for trail head signs like we see further
down the road. But we asked your manager and she explained it.
We had a great snowshoe and ski down the snowmobile trail, spent
some time on the Northville-Placid trail and a couple of hours
snowshoeing down to Rock Lake and all around it. The new bed was
nice and comfortable.

X Country Ski Package, Feb 09
Dear Lenny, I just wanted
to personally thank you and the whole Blue Mountain Lake Rest
staff for the wonderful weekend. The accommodations well exceeded
our expectations and we absolutely loved it there. The Bed and
Sled (snowmobiling package) was just what we needed and couldn't
have had more fun. Anthony Amato and his wife (Felice) were wonderful
to spend the day with and we were so glad that he could show us
around the beautiful country(side). Brandi and I would like to
thank you all for spending the day with us on the trails. We had
a great time and loved the company and the conversation. Very
enjoyable and would recommend your accommodations to anyone wanting
to escape from it all. Very peaceful and hated to leave. Would
love to come and go sledding again sometime. Thanks again.

Unit 3, Feb 09
Lenny, My whole family loved
the Adirondacks! This was the first time the kids and I went snowmobiling
and we were smiling the entire time. As for my husband (Jerry)
and Anthony (who rents the sleds), I don't know who enjoyed it
more. Jerry was like a little kid again and Anthony was thrilled
with how we all enjoyed ourselves. I can't remember a more exciting
or fun vacation. It was a fantastic time, the quietness of the
Adirondacks was amazing! The cabin was beautiful, you don't appreciate
the rustic feeling until you enter it. We loved all the wood planks
in the living room and the fireplace. Nancy does a wonderful job
keeping the cabin very clean and was very helpful during our stay.
Expect us for the summer. I can't wait to return to the Adirondacks
in the warmer weather to try out all the great summer, water sports
and to explore the lake behind the cabin.Thanks for everything,
--Jackie & Jerry Carol, Bed &

Unit 5 - The Homestead
Dear Lenny, The house worked
quite well for our family configuration! ..... We cross-country
skied at Fern Park (and did some sledding) and at the golf club
near there, which was the best conditions for us as beginners.
We tried to ski on the lake, but it was icy. The kids liked the
snowmobiling trail across the road for (x-country) skiing the
best and did it twice. We also spent a day at Gore (Mt), which
was very nice.
Oh, and I was quite taken with the ice skating and fireworks at
Indian Lake for their winter festival---it was so small town like
where I grew up. And I can’t believe they actually offer
a free ski hill, which we ended up sledding on! It was a great
weekend and worked out well for us. Thank you for your homey quarters
and your helpfulness in setting up the arrangements.

Unit 5- Presidents Weekend 09
Hello Lenny, The trip to Blue
Mountain Lake was enjoyable. We arrived at Blue Mountain Rest
and checked in. The cabin was comfortable and cozy, just wished
that there was a queen bed (only in Units 3 & 5) since we
have an infant. In all the trip was fun. Got to do some snow tubing
on our return at Gore mountain, thanks to the brochures in the
room.
Thanks for making your trip comfortable.

Note from Lenny: I'm prefacing
these 3 testimonials with some facts. When these two couples booked
their Bed & Sled Packages with me I found out they were Italian
and from Brooklyn. I am of Italian decent and my family migrated
from there. Anthony (Amato) rents snowmobiles and is a trail guide
for my customers. -- Lenny Baglieri, Proprietor
Lou writes:
Lenny, It was truly one of the best vacations
we have taken in a long time. No complaints at all. Anthony (Amato)
really is a great guy, and we enjoyed every second of the snowmobiling
trip (or at least me and Nick did). The girls loved the trip as
well, but they were freezing 4 hours into the trails with the
snow mobiles. I have been up to the Adirondacks before during
the summer months, but to witness it during the winter is a totally
different feeling. The room was perfect and we hope to come up
before the winter officially ends, if not we will definitely see
you in the summer. Thank you for an overall unforgettable trip.

like throwing myself on the floor and asking god to take me!!.{sounds
familiar} huh lolol just kidding .. i only felt like that after
me and Nicky fell off the (snow)mobile and when it got to point
when our bodies were so cold and in pain . ANTHONY and his wife

Lenny, I was one of Martha
Hourican's friends staying at the Homestead Unit 5 at Blue Mountain
Rest for the second time last weekend and I loved it. Great, clean,
comfortable and cozy place. We lit the fireplace and it was perfect!
So thank you for a great time. Actually, I'm looking into going
skiing again with a couple of friends and staying at Blue Mountain
Rest again. What are the rates for a 2 day package (Stay and Ski
Package) for the Homestead for the last weekend in February? It
would be a group of about 8-10 people and we are looking at coming
on the Friday night and staying through Sunday. Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,

Lenny, It was really great.
We all had a good time, and I'd say there really wasn't one main
highlight, as much as the trip as a whole was just out standing.
Now I usually enjoy traveling to different places with my family
and what not. But there was something different about being up
in the Adirondacks. Aside of being with my friends. Like I personally
just felt right up there, it may sound silly but I just got these
really good vibes and it just felt amazing. Its beautiful up there,
and it definitely seems like a great place to live.We also enjoyed
your cabins, size really wasn't an issue. It just gave it more
of a cozy like feel to everything. I definitely see myself coming
up to Gore again within the next couple of years. Thanks for everything!

Hey Lenny, We had a fabulous
time at your place. The skiing (at Gore Mt) was great! The temperature
wasn't too bad. It was -13 Saturday morning, but warmed up to
8 by the afternoon, then it was 8 on Sunday and got to 20 by midday.
We got some fresh powder too for Sunday's run down the hill. We
have all too many highlights for your place. Clean, warm when
we got there, friendly manager....., fully stocked kitchen, and
the list could go on. Great fire place. Boy did we have a great
time. Maybe next year that hot tub won't be acting up. Anyway,
my people absolutely loved it. I hope to get two trips with you
next year. Thanks again Lenny. A very satisfied customer,

Lenny, I have been meaning
to drop you a line about our stay - we (and the dogs) had a blast!
Your accommodations fit our needs perfectly. The room was clean,
well-maintained, and comfortable. The other guests were friendly,
and helped direct us to the local trail head. We hiked Castle
Rock the first day, then skijored (cross country skiing whilst
being pulled by a harnessed dog) the following day. .... Thanks
again, we enjoyed our stay immensely!
--Carrie Redmond, MLK Weekend Jan. 09
Unit 2
Lenny, We had a great time,
and really enjoyed skiing the woodland trails close by (skied/
in skied./out of their room). I was surprised by how few snowmobiles
we saw on the holiday weekend, and appreciated how considerate
they all were in the way they passed us. I knew the Adirondacks
were special in the summer, and it’s great fun to discover
that it’s just as special in the winter. ..... We’re
interested in another three nights beginning Friday the (Jan.)
30th. What units are available?

MLK Weekend Jan. 09, Unit 3
Lenny, We loved our stay at
Blue Mountain Rest! We would definitely consider a return trip!
We hit the slopes hard (at Gore Mt.) during the day, and then
enjoyed cooking and relaxing in our unit in the evening. We also
took a small hike in the beautiful snow. Could not have asked
for anything better! Thanks,

Lenny, We enjoyed our stay
at Blue Mountain Rest. The scenery was wonderful and the room
had everything thing we needed. (After a second email response
Paul rights to me) ...The skiing at Gore was great even with the
weather changes. It is a family friendly mountain. We met lots
of nice folks. Thanks for having us. We'll recommend you to others
and will come again.

Lenny, I can't say enough about
the treatment and hospitality we were given while staying at your
place.We had no complaints what so ever with regards to the room
or any information we were given during our stay. We went snowmobiling
on Friday. Anthony (Amato) was great (local trail guide and snowmobile
rentals). His wife as well. Two really nice people. We then went
to Gore Mt.(skiing) on Saturday. The kids had a blast. That to
me is what its all about and it starts with the accommodations.
We will be in touch again to come up for a stay. I'm looking towards
the end of February. I will call you to finalize any specific
dates. Thanks for everything and have a great new year,

Lenny, Thanks for following
up with us. The stay was nice: the cabin space is really amazing
- clean, comfortable and a lot better equipped than any other
cabin I've ever seen. I was still fighting a cold and my husband
was getting sick, but we still had a good few days and managed
to get some skiing in every day. If you get another snow like
this (over 3 feet in the woods) maybe point out to skiers that
there won't be any trails, it's either back country skiing (make
your own) or Garnet Hill (nearby) - I think that's what you were
trying to tell us ... In any case, we managed to make our own
trails every day and enjoyed it. It's on the list to come back
to, maybe also in the spring or fall some time for hiking and
rafting! Happy new year!

Hi Lenny. Really, they were
very nice days for us. We enjoyed so much in your cabin. Our camp
was a kind of retreat camp. We needed a quiet and warm place.
"The Homestead" fit our needs. It was very warm and
clean! There were lots of attractions around our place. We went
hiking and ice fishing. Gathering around the fireplace was really
very nice and never to be forgotten. In short, we loved your place
and we would like to come back again. Thank you everything Lenny.

Hi Lenny. Just wanted to send
you a note to tell you how impressed we were with Blue Mtn Rest.
Honestly, your place is so homey and comfortable and very, very
clean!! I am so glad that we decided to spend the weekend there
and it will definitely not be our last!! Thank you also for allowing
our dog who had a better time than us, if that's possible. Please
send our thanks to Nancy and Jamie (our property mgrs.) who were
hard at work during our long weekend of fun in the mountains!!
Hope to meet you sometime....

Note: After I emailed them back thanking
them for their testimonial (see above), Jill & Chuck then
wrote me back again, with the following: Yes, we hiked Blue Mtn
and Owl's Head Mtn in Long Lake......I just love a good hike/climb.
We went to Marty's for great Mexican, had a nice breakfast at
the Misty Mtn Cafe, and got tipsy at the Adirondack Hotel... then
home for a great nights rest! We bought ourselves snowshoes last
year but stayed local with them. We are thinking about coming
up this winter to really break them in!! Our dog is Molly. She's
a beautiful, very well behaved Golden who
loves the woods more than I do. She tried unsuccessfully to carry
a huge stick up Blue Mtn but was thrilled to find it on the way
down!!! We took it for her but unfortunately left it on the front
deck. Adirondack sticks taste the best you know. ...... Let me

Hello Lenny, Conrad and I enjoyed
ourselves very much... this was our first time staying in
Blue Mountain Lake. We love the Adirondacks and we went
hiking, biking and kayaking as planned. One rainy day
we spent at the (Adirondack) museum. The neighbor in the
cabin next to us recommended a great restaurant in Long Lake which
we enjoyed, also Quakenbush's and we ate one night at Indian Lake
Restaurant...... you have a real nice place and I will tell
friends about it.
-- Gina Carola
Unit 1 -- August 2008
Hello Lenny, It was nice to
meet you too! We had a wonderful time. We loved the white water
rafting and have been recommending it to everyone we know who
would be interested. We used Adriondac Rafting Co. and loved it
(we got the discount for staying at BMR too). We also loved
staying at Blue Mountain Rest, very quiet and comfortable. We
love that we can access everything around there that there is
to do. Also, it is very easy to check in, no hassles and we really
enjoyed that aspect as well. As we get closer to the winter, I
will most likely be emailing you to ask a little more information
regarding the X-C skiing, if that is okay. Thanks again,
and hope to be seeing/speaking with you this winter!

Hi, Lenny, We were a very rush when we decide
to go on vacation this summer. I was afraid that we couldn't find
a good place to stay. But it turns out it was our best vacation.
We enjoyed the stay in Blue Mountain Rest, especially the
two kids. They loved the camp fire pit and we had camp fire every
evening. On the way back, they are already talking about
coming back next year. I'll contact you earlier if we do come
back next summer. Thanks,

Dear Lenny: Good to hear from
you! I enjoy fond memories of staying in the cabin you rented
to me last fall during the foliage season. The cabin was neat,
clean, and warm, and the caretakers were courteous. My stay at
your Blue Mountain Rest enhanced my tour through the Adirondack
Mountains. Keep up the good work! Sincerely,
-- Randy Wright

Lenny, Very clean, good location
to see other towns. We went to Sagamore (one of the Great Adirondack
Camps), Lake Placid and Raquette Lake. We took the boat tour in
Raquette. We also went to the arts center and heard a blues band.

Hey Lenny! First of all, had
a GREAT time up at Blue Mt Rest - the folks were thrilled as was

close to things at the same time. I ran every day I was there,
which was nice. Thanks again for everything! Enjoy the last
days of summer!

Our stay in August was great. We stayed in...Unit #4 and it was
perfect. We even had a deer walk right up to our front door!!
My wife and I also found that Blue Mountain Rest was in a great
location to travel to the other lakes as well. Overall our stay
was great.

Hi Lenny, We had a great stay at BMR. Your place
is such a great deal... all the benefits of cabin living w/linens
included at great prices. We were so glad to find your website
and that you had availability. Loved the decor, brochures in the
kitchen and TV options (dvd, DirecTV and vcr... very good for
our rainy days). Thank you again!!

Hello, Sorry it has taken me
so long to get back to you, but I would love to share information
about my experience at Blue Mt Rest. The facilities were definitely
very clean. Aside from (some of ) the noise of traffic it
was very peaceful. Cabin 4 was perfect for our family
of four and if I had to choose a cabin to stay
in, it would be this one. Both stays that I had at the cabins
were well worth it and I look forward to coming back in the future.
Take care,

Lenny, We did have a nice time
staying at Blue Mountain Rest. Our daughter liked it so much that
she went back with couple of her friends. We were very impressed
with how clean the place was. Also all the necessary things in
the kitchen and the grill were very helpful. The first night we
stayed at unit 1 ..... Then we moved to unit 4 which ....
had more room. Our daughter and her friends stayed in unit
3 and they liked it very much. (Also, we like the convenient
location to the store and beach). I sure would recommend
the place to our friends. Hope you are having a nice summer.

very much. The cabins were clean and the staff was terrific. ..............

rates and quantities. Thanks again for all your help and
concern.

Lenny, We enjoyed our stay
at the Blue Mountain Rest! Thanks for providing us with a clean

talking to! They were staying in unit two! So, We will be back
at some time in the future, but cannot say exactly when!

Lenny, It turned out
to be a perfect weekend. It rained on Saturday but it was good

was good. We definitely had fun.... Thanks for the accommodations!
I like Unit 5 a lot.....

Lenny, I should be back up
in late September to finish the Northville-Lake Placid trail.
The Adirondacks are a beautiful place. The number of lakes and
ponds are amazing! At one remote pond I watched a couple of
beaver working on a dam. And hearing the loons and coyotes
at night was neat too.

White Water Rafting Package --Unit 5- April '08
Lenny, Our stay during President's
Week (2008) was nice. Blue Mountain Rest, was clean, well
equipped, and excellently located for what my partner and I
were up to in terms of skiing that week. It was also good value
for money, as the New Zealander's would say.
The ... kitchen was excellent, and the stainless steel
counter was tops. ... the accommodations were clean, the
bedding generous and in good shape... I feel satisfied
as a customer, with the Blue Mountain Rest experience, and would
recommend it to my friends.
-Brik Miller
Lenny, We had a great time
thank you. It was all very well organized. The place was nice,
very clean, a bit of tight squeeze for 7 but with the ski passes
included it was a fantastic deal all round. High points
- very comfortable, pretty good cooking facilities, great deal.
Having no check in/out was great. ........So I hope to
visit again and maybe even meet you next time!

Units 1 & 2 - Ski Group --February 2008
Lenny, I think I'm still
in denial that the trip is already over. I had a fantastic time.
We ended up staying in unit #1 which was very nice and well
kept. The area is so beautiful. It snowed the day we came up
and all the pine trees with the snow looked breath-taking. Saturday
and Sunday we went snowboarding and I didn't want to stop. I'm
already thinking of going again before the season is over if
I can rustle up some cash to do so. Thank you for everything!

Stay & Ski Package --February 2008
Lenny, Our stay was absolutely
wonderful. Blue Mountain Rest was exactly what we were looking
for, and exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway. The cabin was
clean, and nice and warm when we arrived late last Friday night.
The extra night was well worth it. We skied at Gore both days.
It was so gorgeous there, and the skiing was great. The
mountain is so big we couldn't really get bored if we wanted
to. Overall, we were very satisfied with our getaway.
We will be back :) Most likely with a bigger group next time!
Thank you...... for all your help in making the reservations.
Enjoy the rest of your winter!

Stay & Ski Package Jan. '08 --Unit 1
Lenny, We had a really great
time. The skiing was great at Gore, and we skied there both
days. I am used to the really icy conditions in the Catskill
Mountains, and was really surprised at how great the snow was
at Gore. It was also great for my friend who isn't as experienced
as I am. Blue Mountain Rest really exceeded my expectations.
I forget the property managers' names,..... but they
were really awesome in getting the room warmed up for us even
though we arrived really late on Friday night. The place was
immaculate and it was really handy having the fully stocked
kitchen. I can guarantee you that I will be in touch to schedule
another getaway weekend, hopefully next time with enough people
to book the cabin with the hot tub! Also, I don't know if you
are aware....... but you guys are featured in Time Out New York,
a magazine that get's distributed around Manhattan and the outer
boroughs. They did a special on ski resorts and Blue Mountain
Rest is mentioned with Gore Mountain as being a great place
to stay with great Ski and Stay packages. If you want a copy
just let me know! Thanks again Lenny. I'll be in touch!
--Lea Loustaunau
Stay & Ski Package Unit 1 -- January 2008
Lenny, We loved the trip.
The Blue Mountain Trail was actually our favorite because it
was a lot less bumpy then the trails through Indian Lake. Pete
(from Adirondack Mt. Sports Snowmobile Rentals) was actually
expecting us to come see him Friday night but by the time we
got there they were closed so we had to go there to fill out
some paperwork on Saturday morning. Other then that, everything
else was great.
--Thanks, Beth & Rob
Bed & Sled Package Unit 1 -- January 2008
Lenny, The stay was awesome!
It was relaxing when we did spend time (in the room)..... The
kitchen was so great as we were able to eat in rather than brave
the snowy roads. The managers were great too, as their plow
truck came in handy quite a few times that weekend. Thank you
so much and have a wonderful day!
--Meredith and Brian in Ohio!
Stay & Ski Package Unit 3
Lenny, We all had a great
time. The cabin slept 8 very comfortably and we enjoyed the
fireplace and close proximity to Gore Mountain. The only downside
was that we wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks!
--Graham
Unit 5 New Years 2008
Lenny, Hey...we loved our
stay there...it was quiet and remote and close to both
Gore and Whiteface, we went to Gore 3 times and Whiteface
once, it was great to drive up to Whiteface through all
the little villages and we ate dinner in Lake Placid on
the way back right across from the outdoor ice rink...... the
only thing I wish is that we would have had some time to
explore Blue Mountain, we were on the slopes the whole
time it was light... I couldn't believe how much snow there
was up there, it was great... what kind of snowmobile packages
do you guys have cuz we would love to come back up to do
that for a long weekend... send me some info on that if you would.
--Nate M.
Stay & Ski Package- January Jamboree 2008
Lenny, We had a great time.
The young men thoroughly enjoyed their fishing time, while us
older guys did some open fire cooking. We had one of the best
rotisserie meals of a roast that we cooked over the open flame,
in the fire pit, plus corn on the cob that we soaked in water
and then cooked in the fire as well. It was awesome and my son’s
future father-in-law is still talking about the food. We
spent the evening sitting around the fire until we ran out of
wood talking and enjoying the outdoor evening. The lodging unit
was great with plenty of room for all of us. We are definitely
looking forward to a future visit, possibly a mid-week overnight
stay for an ice fishing trip if you have any units available
during the winter.
Thanks again, we will definitely be recommending
your lodgings to friends and family looking for a relaxing
Adirondack experience. --Al
Lenny, Thank you very much
- we really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to visiting
again! If you can, see about having Blue Mountain Rest listed

have gotten better. Most importantly, thank you for the wonderful

Lenny, ohh I had a
blast....... we did a little tubing, couldn't really find any
big hills but the trip was fun and the property manager (Kyle)
was a really nice, understanding man. Thanks for the use of
your cabin.
--Jesse --Unit #1
Lenny, From a client who
booked our Bed & Sled Package and was about to book our
long time friend and snowmobile trail guide Anthony Amato: Everything
was great! We could not have asked for anything to be better……Your
house was perfect for us. Kyle (our property mgr.) was helpful
and reminds me of a biker. Fits right in since 3 of us own Harleys.
Real nice guy…..
(testimonial before the trip)
I called Anthony and spoke to his wife first. After speaking….about
the area and the best places to snowmobile I was sold. I was
impressed with their honesty and fairness. ….going to
take us around and give us a tour…..for the first half
of Saturday. Again, you had a great and very helpful idea. We
had no idea what his rate was and expecting way more. If we
would have realized…..that you could get a half day we
would have spoken to him sooner. Maybe you could state “Optional
trail guide, full & half day …..give…an idea
that your place has the ability to provide that extra that others
don’t……”.We are not familiar with the
area and he will know where there is plenty of snow….and
show us the sites. We’re all so excited!! Thanks again
for all your help.
(testimonial after the trip)
Anthony was a wonderful (trail) guide and
I am so glad you referred him to us. We would have never found
our way to Indian Lake with all the road crossing and riding
down the shoulder x amount of feet to find the other part of
the trail. His safety tips and hand signals education was invaluable.
He was great…….. Anthony took us to Indian Lake
and assured us it was safe to go on, which we would not have
been comfortable without his ok. He also showed us the Adirondack
Mountain Grill (local eatery) which was another life saver…..
Thanks to Anthony, we had a nice ride to the lake without trying
to find the trails and were able to ride on the lake and rest
at the Grill…….
I will be thinking of you every time I hear how much snow you
guys are getting there. Thanks for a great time
--Sharon --Bed & Sled Package, Unit
#5 Homestead
Lenny, ....yes, we had a
wonderful time. Kyle was very cool and helpful.... we left him
a card and a small tip asking him to tell you we were very happy.
Lenny, I absolutely loved the Homestead (Unit 5) and it's surroundings....
we were able to enjoy a true winter vacation with the snow and
all. Phil and I will more than likely consider next New Years
.....I hope your holiday was great...hey...get that hot tub
going, that would be awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much.... we'll
be back.

Lenny, …..just back
from Blue Mt. Rest. All my family members enjoyed ….staying
in the Blue Mt. Rest and the vacation time we had over Gore
Mt. and Whiteface Mt. We had a great winter vacation ……
This is actually the first time we saw snow this winter. The
property is very neat and clean, my kids enjoyed it a lot….,
thank you very much on your help in booking the lift tickets,
we had a great time skiing in Gore and Whiteface mountains.

Lenny, I was going
to email you today. We had a great time visiting. The cabins
are wonderful. Everyone had a good time. I hope we left all
in good order. My grandson kept referring to the places as our
new houses. He cried when he had to leave. I think he had a
good time too. The boys were happy to be able to have a longer
visit with each other. So all went well.
--Thanks, Alice Lee
Lenny,
We enjoyed the area very much. We found Blue Mt. Rest to be
clean, quiet & roomy. And…even without mentioning
the discount, we thought your prices to be very fair. Funny-
the school group you placed in Unit 5 ended up being 2 miles
down the road from where I teach! Many of the students were
from the town I teach in. We also ran into a couple that was
from the town next to where we reside, …these are very
small towns, much like Blue Mt. …(but without the lake).
Small world! …happy to stay at Blue Mt. Rest again in
the future.

Lenny, Yes, I had a very
nice stay. I had deliberately chosen to come mid-week so I was
happy that the place was kinda quiet. The (Adirondack) museum
was great. I grew up North of (town deleted) and visited it
jeez maybe 20 years ago and I’m a nature and history nut,
so it was perfect for me. ……Unit 1 was perfect….with
the little kitchen, which meant I saved a little $$$$ on food.-more
$$ to spend on books, etc. the museum. Also visited the Information
Center in Newcomb-also very interesting.
….Thanks so much.
