Book & Blanket B&B

Jay, New York.

1850s Greek Revival near Lake Placid. Picturesque Adirondack hamlet with village green, covered bridge and swimming hole. Bedrooms honor famous authors.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Book & Blanket offers three spacious guestrooms (private bath available). Guests may choose from the Regency elegance of the Jane Austen room, the gentlemanly sophistication of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Room or the rustic comfort of the Jack London Room.

There's also a James Thurber nook (Thurber wrote one of his short stories on a stay in Jay), an extra large porch (complete with swing), and an exuberant basset hound on the premises.

Mornings bring hearty breakfasts, including home-baked breads, muffins and fresh-ground coffee.

But most of all there are books - in every room. Many of the books may be borrowed by guests "indefinitely." This means if you get interested in a novel, mystery, etc., you may take it with you to finish at your leisure. Perhaps on another visit you will leave a book of yours for another guest.
