Sunday Pond has been a bed and breakfast since 1988 ---- named after a delightful pond about five minutes walk through forest preserve land in our backyard.

Prior to 1988 this was our private residence, which we built after moving here from Connecticut in 1974. We had been vacationing here for years and feel there is something very special about these ancient mountains. With our two boys grown and on their own, we decided to share our love of the Adirondacks with others by operating a bed and breakfast. Because of its location, Sunday Pond B&B attracts people who like to spend most of their time outdoors.

Guests often ask us about the construction of the house itself which was built to look "old" in keeping with the "rustic" flavor of the Adirondacks We hauled our own framing timbers from a local sawmill, then operating in Tupper Lake.

These rough-sawn, full cut boards were fashioned into a large room with high cathedral ceiling and wide plank floors --- providing a comfortable space for guests to relax by an open fire and eat meals at our antique oak banquet table.



Our sleeping accommodations are exceptionally clean and comfortable, and in keeping with the overall decor.

We are often asked "What do you mean by RUSTIC?" Throughout the years, the Adirondacks have been a visitors' paradise known for their "rustic elegance." Rustic style celebrates the natural environment with log and natural wood construction,twig furniture and decorations of birch bark and other natural materials. It is also characterized by eclectic style, often mixing Oriental, Victorian and other styles.



At Sunday Pond B&B you'll find this influence integrated with all the modern conveniences, from the expected indoor plumbing to microwave oven and CD and video player. The important part of rustic style is that it imparts a real flavor of and appreciation for these mountains where we live. For a taste of the Adirondacks with all the comforts of home visit us at Sunday Pond B&B.
