The Essex Inn on the Adirondack Coast has undergone a total renovation that has transformed this nearly landmark into the crown jewel of the Lake Champlain region. Seven brand new rooms, two of which are suites, offer the charm of a nearly 200-year old inn alongside modern amenities. Some have gas fireplaces and all have sparkling new bathrooms, internet access, iPod docking stations, queen size beds, cable television, and private access to the second floor porch for morning coffee.

Nestled in the foothills of the Adirondacks along the shores of the sixth largest body of fresh water in the United States sits Essex, New York. Often called New York's most historic hamlet, Essex contains one of the most intact collections of pre-Civil War architecture in America. Located near the widest part of Lake Champlain, south of the Four Brothers Islands and north of the Split Rock Lighthouse, the community is served by year-round ferry service from Charlotte, Vermont, 15 miles south of Burlington.
