Acorn Pub Eatery - Speculator

While my husband and older son went skiing and snowboarding, my two younger children and I stayed inside. I want to thank you for maintaining such a wonderful establishment; it was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. If you're looking for a place that makes it easy to manage your gear, this is the perfect spot. The views while skiing are also amazing!

This is an incredibly charming and enjoyable spot for skiing! It's very family-oriented. My wife and I decided to ski here after finding Gore was fully booked. While not all the trails were open, it was still well worth it. I would definitely characterize it as an authentic old-school Adirondack ski experience. This place is ideal for both beginners and advanced skiers alike.

Due to COVID restrictions and our desire for an intimate wedding, we opted to hold our reception in the restaurant area of the venue, which perfectly suited our vision and our group of 27 guests! Our ceremony on the summit was stunning and so much fun for everyone involved. The food was absolutely delicious, and we're already looking forward to revisiting the restaurant. Despite the rain, which made the day even more memorable, Laura and her team went above and beyond to keep us comfortable and dry in the lodge! The Oak Mountain team was incredibly flexible and easy to collaborate with. We wholeheartedly recommend Oak Mountain and the city of Speculator for your special day.

Love this little mountain! came here from 3 hours for a ski race and we all had an explosion! Only on the bottom there are no lodge seats that sit freely where there are windows. Everything else was amazing!

We visited for the first time yesterday. My daughter is 4 and it was the first time I took her skiing. She loved the magic carpets, not so much the skiing yet but we will try again. It's a great and affordable place for beginners! We got 2 hour passes and the rental skis booked online the day before. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. Compared to bigger mountains, I was impressed at how quick getting the rentals was! My daughter was done after about 45 minutes so she hung out with my husband while I was able to check out the rest of the mountain. It was not great snow conditions due to multiple warm days leading up to it but there was a beautiful blue sky and plenty of space for everyone. I especially loved Oak Mtn Run because I had it to myself the 3 times I went down it. Despite the warm temps leading up to yesterday, there weren't too many ice patches and I was able to carve some nice turns. After our 2 hour pass, we left to nap and rest before coming back from 3-4:30 to go tubing. One of the staff members (I missed his name) had a great attitude and everyone had lots of fun! It will be even better with the fresh snow added today! Well worth a family outing!
