Situated on a grassy slope on the edge of historic Big Moose Lake, the Big Moose Inn and Restaurant brings over 100 years of experience in providing delightful lodging and dining to her Adirondack visitors. Our lodging options are diverse! Each of our sixteen rooms is unique, and can be seen on-line. Several of our Adirondack lodgings offer exquisite views of the lake. One has an adjoining room for families, another comes with a jacuzzi and fireplace. We recommend booking well in advance during the busy seasons. Check out our RED HOT SPECIALS , our BMI DELUXE ROOM PACKAGES and read about our GRAND OPENING WEEKEND, as we re-open for dinner today Friday, May 9th. The weekend will include an opening reception Saturday, room discounts for the weekend, and live entertainment provided by Adirondack harpist, Martha Gallagher, on Mother's Day, Sunday May 11th. Welcome our new head chef, Brian Markovics!

Spring has finally arrived this year. See our Weather/Webcam page for current photo and details! A healthy snowfall has filled our streams, so whitewater rafting is excellent. Fishing season has opened, the migratory birds are returning, and hikers, bikers, and lovers of nature are already enjoying the Adirondack experience. Join them! See our Spring 2008 music/video to experience a glimpse of what awaits those who visit in what we lovingly call our "shoulder" season. You don't want to miss it - as Spring is the Adirondacks at its finest!

Your visit to the Big Moose Inn will immerse you in the true heart of Adirondack life, any time of the year. The Inn is part of the colorful HISTORY of the Adirondack Mountains. Visit our PICTURE POSTCARD page to learn more! The area is reknown for its abundant wildlife. Deer, bear, coyote, and the occasional moose are part of our landscape. Loons and eagles share airspace over the Big Moose waters, to the delight of guests relaxing on our ample deck. Our canoes and kayaks are enjoyed by young and old alike, as our guest book entries bear witness.

You will soon discover that our experienced staff earns their reputation for outstanding service. Not only will they serve you delicious entrees from either our fine or casual dining menus, but they know the area well. They will direct you to nearby shops, parks, hiking trails, golf courses, little known local fishing holes, or whatever area activities help complete the Adirondack experience which has drawn you here. We are a four-season destination for fun capable of satisfying everyone's spirit of adventure.

Regular musical entertainment and events are also part of the Big Moose Inn vernacular. Talented Adirondack musicians are a regular part of the Big Moose Inn experience. Recently the Inn has hosted popular wine pairings, dinner theaters, educational workshops, and business meetings. We welcome your requests should you be interested in group sales. We offer special pricing and run regular packages. Rural towns provide unique shopping and activities for the entire family. Whether your tastes run from seaplanes to sled dogs, from polka fests to popcorn at the nearby Strand theater, you'll find it all here. Check our popular "links" page! Arts and culture abound, all within a country mile or so!
