Adirondack Mountain View Retreat at Conklin Cottage | Downtown Saranac Lake

Welcome to your Adirondack home away from home inside the historic Conklin Cottage, centrally located in the heart of downtown Saranac Lake — just 15 minutes from Lake Placid and directly across the street from Hotel Saranac.

This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat combines rustic Adirondack charm with modern comfort, making it the perfect home base for every season — from winter ski trips and fall foliage escapes to summer hikes and lakeside adventures.

As a family-run business with over 50 years of local roots, we love helping guests experience the authentic side of the Adirondacks — the people, the food, the trails, and the community that make this region so special.
