Beautifully Renovated Rustic Retreat | Heart of Downtown Saranac Lake

Welcome to your beautifully renovated Adirondack escape inside the historic Conklin Cottage, perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Saranac Lake — just 15 minutes from Lake Placid and directly across the street from Hotel Saranac.

This three-bedroom, two-bath mountain-view retreat has been thoughtfully curated to highlight all four Adirondack seasons — a cozy winter base for skiing, snowmobiling, and ice climbing, and a bright, airy summer home for hiking, kayaking, and lakeside relaxation. Whether you’re here for adventure, a family getaway, or a nearby wedding celebration, this space blends rustic Adirondack character with modern comfort.

As lifelong locals and a family-run business with over 50 years of community roots, we love sharing our insider knowledge to help make your stay unforgettable.
