Wells, New York — Est. 1892
A restorative retreat in the Adirondack foothills — where the pace slows, the rooms are simple and warm, and the only thing on your mind is what's next.
Our Story
The Spencer Homestead sits on a quiet stretch of road in Wells, New York — a small town at the edge of the Adirondack wilderness. What began as a family home has been welcoming travelers, hikers, and weekend explorers for over three decades.
We don't do flash. What we offer is simple: clean, comfortable rooms; a kitchen you can use; a porch to sit on in the evening; and the kind of silence you don't find in the city.
Whether you're passing through on the way to Lake George, heading out on a backcountry trail, or just need a place to breathe for a night — this is it.
