Had another great stay at Faust Motel last weekend. Stayed in the Brick House and it was perfect! Clean, comfortable and everything we needed. Have also stayed in the cabins - also clean, comfortable and so cute. The owners are friendly and there for anything you may need.

Having lived in the Adirondacks in the 70s and 90s, and for close to 50 years having made several dozens of trips to places throughout the region – Saranac lake, Lake Placid, Inlet, Old Forge, Long Lake, Raquette Lake, and many others – I’ve come to conclude that Tupper Lake is my favorite Adirondack community of them all. It is a mecca for paddlers, hikers, mountain bikers, nature lovers, and even the night life in this rustic mountain town will surprise the uninitiated visitor.Over 100 years ago, Tupper Lake became the epicenter of logging in the Adirondacks, and the locals, many of whom are descended from those early loggers, still pride themselves on the town’s “lumberjack” image. This is quite apparent when visiting the town’s bars, restaurants, and gathering places. There’s no shortage of tall tale, Paul Bunyan type stories when engaging the locals.For those seeking lodging in Tupper Lake, it’d be folly not to consider the Faust Motel, just a stone’s throw from the Raquette River Brewing beer hall. The beer hall is easily the most popular place for people – locals and tourists alike – to congregate and have a good time drinking good beer brewed right on the premises. And because there are food trucks almost permanently parked there, there’s also great pizza and barbeque.The rooms at the Faust Motel are clean and very reasonably priced, but it’s not the motel itself that deserves the five-star review – it’s the owners themselves. About five years ago when I stayed there, Mark rolled in on a tractor and dumped off a big load of hardwood, and later that night about twelve of us from different rooms sat around the fire until late at night, drinking beer and having a great time. I’m not sure if Mark still does this, but it’s a remarkable and generous accommodation that makes the stay in Tupper Lake even more memorable.But it was last Friday’s stay at the Faust Motel that really set this place apart from anywhere else I’ve ever stayed. Later at night, I’d perhaps had a couple too many down the road at the Woodsmens Tavern where I rode my ebike. Weaving and wobbling on the way back to the motel I faceplant crashed hard on the pavement, got pretty bloodied up, and lost my cell phone. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do this, but Suzanne was kind and patient enough to find my phone for me (I guess by calling it) and mail it to me! And this after my forgetting to leave a tip and bloodying up her pillowcase and not making me buy her a new pillowcase!A clean and affordable room makes for a nice stay; friendly, welcoming, and accommodating people make the stay extra special. Five Faustian stars!

Love this place! We spent one night while traveling by motorcycle with our 7 lb dog. They are nice small duplex cabins, very clean and nicely appointed. There is a central cabin for the morning coffee/tea and fresh local donuts provided by the friendly owner. I will definitely stay there again.

Super cute, cozy place! Love the nice bathroom and we appreciated the coffee and donuts before we hit the road in the morning.Only minor issue was that our room had no electrical outlets for chargers etc (they were all being used by the a/c unit, fridge etc), so we had to unplug the lamp to charge our phone. There were charging ports but they weren't working for us...and we had to use the bathroom outlet to charge another item....inconvenient but not the end of the world. Thank you!

If I could leave even a higher rating I would. My grandson and I were setting up our camping gear at Little Wolf Beach when a huge wind gust came up and whipped our tent and dining fly to shreds. We had no place to go for our 4 day vacation. I called Faust in a panic, and the owners arranged for us to have a place to stay so that our vacation wasn't ruined. The cute little motel seemed to be one of those older cabin type ones that the Adirondacks is famous for. It was very clean and the beds were really comfortable. The owners were so nice, and checked every day to see if we needed anything. I loved the old style refrigerator that was in our room. My grandson loved the doughnuts that were there with coffee every morning. No TV's but checkers and triominos were a better option anyway, as well as tons of books. We really enjoyed our surprise stay at this quaint little place.

Our car broke down on our way to Lake Placid and we were towed into Tupper Lake to Counter's Garage. They recommended Faust Motel just down the road. We were in a bit of a bind, but Mark had a room available and met us to check in. The rooms were clean and updated, had a mini-fridge and A/C, and Suzanne had coffee and donuts out for guests in the lounge the next morning. Not to mention their brewery right next door (Raquette River Brewery), which was the perfect oasis to relax with our pup and take our minds off the car trouble. Mark and Suzanne were very friendly and helpful, they even offered us a ride if we needed it. They make sure their properties are welcoming to all. Can't recommend this spot enough, whether you're staying for Tupper Lake, or unexpectedly! Thanks Mark and Suzanne.

This wonderfully renovated motel is a perfect base for exploring the Adirondacks. It is clean and comfortable, with good showers and delicious coffee. We visited in the winter and intend to return to visit in the warmer months.

Cozy, clean half cabin rooms. I so loved the personal touches and real furniture. It felt very homey. It is evident that someone put a lot of thought and effort in creating these spaces. The shower was one of the best I've ever experienced while traveling. We also loved the addition of a Bluetooth speaker in the room. The fresh baked goods and coffee in the common room in the morning were delicious and very welcome! Definitely looking forward to coming back.
