About this house rental

Located in Upper Saranac Lake, this lovely house for £295 per night is a great option for your next break. Off the beaten path, this quiet hilltop home overlooks the Adirondack Mountains and historic village of Saranac Lake. This charming retreat is decorated with knotty pine walls and large picture windows that provide terrific views of the woodlands surrounding the property. My place is thoroughly cleaned in between each visit. One of the most unique features of the home is the screened front porch. Here you can spend a lazy afternoon sipping tea, reading, or watching wildlife (deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and humming birds) from the comfort of two original antique Adirondack "Cure" chairs. On the main level, you'll find a spacious great room with new wall-to-wall carpeting and a George Jacques dining table and chairs. This area is the perfect setting for shared meals, games, and conversation with family and friends. There is also a sitting area with a wood-burning brick fireplace that will warm you after a day of skiing (wood provided). Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate by the fire or catch the latest shows on cable or streaming services on a new flat screen wall-mounted Smart TV in front of a new queen-sized sleeper sofa. The Master Bedroom features a king-sized bed, a large picture window with views of the village below, a second flat screen TV, and a new private tiled bathroom with tiled shower. There is also a complete bathroom with a full tub off the hall adjacent to the living area. As you descend the custom-made spiral staircase, you will find two additional bedrooms one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds and another ceramic-tiled bathroom. A full size washer and dryer are also on the lower level. The fully equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled with granite countertops, flooring, cabinets and appliances. I provide everything from linens to spices, condiments, coffee and tea, and wood for the fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with every pot and pan and small appliance. You can walk to town for your groceries or cross-country ski or snowmobile along the "railtrail". Easy access if you are a snowmobilier. Saranac Lake provides a central location for your Adirondack adventures. You are only a few miles from the Mt. Pisgah Ski and Tubing Center and Lake Placid. Enjoy skiing at Whiteface Mtn., boating, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and golf. Close to airport, shops, restaurants, and lakeside beach. Lots of fun family activities in beautiful surroundings.

This house is just charming with all the wood and rustic touches. With three bedrooms and three baths, there were more than enough rooms for us to be comfortable. The owner’s kitchen is very well stocked. We had everything we needed and more. And the house is walking distance to a grocery and drug store and a nice walk from the cute Saranac Lake downtown. We loved it!

Our family enjoyed the stay in Saranac Lake. The house was conveniently located within walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants and the playground and carousel are even closer. The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed!

This was our second time staying at this comfy and cozy Adirondack property. Convenient location in Saranac Lake with quick trips all across the High Peaks region and the Olympic venues.

There were just two of us, although the house can accommodate six people. We enjoyed a fire one night and could imagine hanging out in front of it more on a rainy day. Easy walk to town. The upstairs bedroom looks out into trees and felt like sleeping in a treehouse. We would certainly stay here again.

House Cute cottage tucked away in Saranac Lake. It's actually a bit impressive how quiet the street it on is considering you're about two streets over from their downtown. Kitchen & Master Bedroom have definitely been updated to modern standards. I'm pretty sure the bathroom had some sort of full body blow dryer from the ceiling, who knew that was even a thing? (It's pretty cool). Kitchen is small but has everything you need. Living room is a bit cramped with the number of chairs around. If you're not staying with a larger group would just suggest moving them out of the way for the length of your stay. Otherwise, modern smart TV for your nights in. AC is provided on the top level in the living room and master bedroom by window units. The living room one worked fine and wasn't intrusive. The bedroom one could use with a better unit. Anything above roughly a ~4 on the dial and I couldn't sleep. Not a huge deal - just kept it low. The spiral staircase providing access downstairs has fairly small steps. If you're using the guest bedrooms down there just make sure to go slow. Area Right next to downtown sarnac lake which has whatever you need for the rental and a short shopping drag you can check out. Was traveling with a Dog and it was convenient to walk him. There's a park right down the road (it was being worked on during my stay unfortunately), a snowmobile trail, and plenty of sidewalks just crossing around town. Sarnac lake is also located as a good home base to Lake Placid where you'll find better food, a larger shopping drag, and some great days out. Staying outside of Lake Placid has the benefit of lowering the cost & avoiding the tourist traffic for lazy days.
