For over 68 years, the Blue Ridge Motel, nestled between Schroon Lake and North Hudson, NY, has served as a popular overnight destination for vacationing guests.

The Blue Ridge Motel was purchased in December 2019 by Blue Ridge Hospitality, LLC, a woman-owned business, that is completing extensive renovations to offer their guests many modern comforts. In addition to room renovations, the lobby was also refurbished allowing the motel to offer complimentary continental breakfast and a small gift shop.  

Blue Ridge Motel's goal is to make sure that every guest, be it families, hikers, or sportsmen, have an amazing Adirondack experience and enjoy their stay. What can be better than starting off each day, knowing you're rested and ready for a day of fun in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains? The staff at the Blue Ridge Motel is looking forward to hosting your stay!
