Kick up and do some dancing at the authentic Stony Creek Inn. Dot Bartell and John Fickel for 35 years have run this unique establishment with simple roots; good food & music, reasonable prices & a comfortable friendly setting to relax and enjoy family and friends. Stony Creek Inn customers have nothing and much in common. They are diverse in age, culture, background, talent, careers & interests. They have a common love and appreciation for the Inn, for the friendships forged here and for the good memories they take with them. And if you have too much to drink, they have simple rooms for rent!

Entertainment & Activities
Spend a half-hour flying over the Adirondack High Peaks. See the mountains like you've never seen them before. Seaplane rides are fairly reasonable, and usually available during the summer months on a "catch-as-catch-can" basis. Call ahead to make sure a pilot is available to take you up (there are charters that take priority) and to quote you the current rates for a sightseeing flight. A good estimate is $60.00 for two people for a 15-minute (airtime) flight. Flights are dependent on the weather, and there is no reason to fly in inclement weather. But on a clear day with blue skies, absolutely nothing can compare to the experience! Located in beautiful Long Lake, a one hour away.
