Peru – Visitors to our beautiful region have an updated place to stay – The Shamrock Inn at the Adirondacks located at 2445 State Route 9, Peru, NY, (in the Town of Ausable) just 1.5 miles north of Ausable Chasm.  

Ann-Marie Kelly and her daughter Jennifer took ownership of the property on March 21, 2020. A retired dental practice manager, Ann-Marie Kelly relocated here from a Philadelphia, Pa. suburb. She said, “I bought it on a leap of faith after deciding to try something new. I love the lake and nature. I love it here.” 

Over the past several months, Kelly has renovated the Shamrock’s ten motel suites and rooms. The six cabins will be renovated over the next several months. 

The attractive, spacious rooms feature updated bathrooms, kitchenettes, bedding, flooring, and wall colors. Guests have access to a bbq grill, corn hole, horseshoes, and a fire pit in the large yard. 

Located inside the Adirondack Park and not far from Lake Champlain, Kelly serves a diverse customer base including Ausable Chasm visitors, hikers, tourists, boaters, hunters, anglers, and visiting construction workers. The Shamrock Inn at the Adirondacks is a reasonably priced place to stay at $70 to $100 a night. 

Kelly feels very welcome in the area. She stated, “Town Supervisor Sandy Senecal, the contractors, and the local business community have all been wonderful. The North Country Chamber of Commerce has also been very helpful.”
