About this house rental
Beautiful house nestled in the Adirondacks in a very private area, yet conveniently located in the town of Saranac Lake, NY. Our home has an open floor plan with two bedrooms and one bathroom downstairs and a master bedroom and bathroom (with tub) upstairs. This is a child friendly home providing a pack and play and a toy closet. We are also dog friendly! Sorry, but no cats. If you are looking for a centrally located home with great amenities this is the place for you. We are only a fifteen minute drive from Lake Placid, home of the 1980 Olympics and are surrounded by plenty of outdoor activities for you and your family to enjoy.

There was plenty of room in this A-frame, including big closets. It was nicely decorated with quality furniture. The kitchen was modern and the yard was large. No neighboring houses were visible.

Our family of 5 (+ one dog) loved your home! It was super clean and very comfortable for our family to relax and have family meals together. The open floor plan, giant windows and huge deck made it the perfect mountain location. It was nicely secluded, yet close to town. Our dog loved running throughout the woods, and we loved not worrying about busy roads and close-by neighbors. The air conditioners made sleeping very comfortable on the hot days. We would love to return in the fall when the trees are turning colors.

We loved the property especially the fireplace and the large A-frame windows. It was amazingly peaceful to relax after a day of skiing or skating or cycling. Close proximity to Saranac Lake and 15 minutes from anywhere in Lake Placid. The place was clean and well maintained. Will be visiting again.

Stay at Saranac Lake
Our party of 4 stayed in this spacious 3 bedroom, 4 bed cabin in a wooded area in Saranac Lake. The area is peaceful and relaxing. The cabin style house was very clean and stocked with condiments and pantry items, along with plenty of dinnerware and utensils. We were able to grill and build a campfire, but bring your own wood. There were games if you forgot yours. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

serene retreat near hiking and lakes
We went up here for three days and had a fantastic time. The house was beautiful, spacious, and extremely clean, so we had a lot of fun hanging out at the house. What was even better was the location: we had a ton of options in the area for hiking and swimming in particular and (for non-pandemic times) it looked like the closeby towns, especially Lake Placid, had plenty of attractions as well. Also the host was incredibly helpful and nice. Can't recommend enough!

Great family house
This house was in great shape and well maintained. The location was wonderful. It was secluded but just a short drive into town and to the lakes.

Private, pet-friendly woodsy getaway!
This house is gorgeous: big wraparound porch with chairs and a table. We were happy to find a gas grill which worked great. Inside the house was rustic and pretty, and very clean. We were especially impressed with the very well-equipped kitchen. Tons of spices and other things that could be handy such as a blender, a crockpot, and a coffee grinder. There was also a coffeemaker and filters! We visited in early July so the upstairs got pretty hot in the afternoons. There are fans in the closets of every bedroom, and putting them in the windows at night helped a lot! We loved that there was laundry and detergent available in the basement. Our dogs loved the large yard and walks up and down the long gravel driveway. The property is surrounded by woods which is wonderful for privacy, but you will definitely need bugspray, at least in the summer months! Jackie was a great host: responsive and helpful. We would absolutely come back to stay here again!

Amazing Week in Saranac!
We had the absolute best week in Saranac Lake at this beautiful home. The property manager was so easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions prior to our arrival. The house was so clean and perfect for our family of 5! The yard was nicely maintained and had a lot of space for the kids to run around/explore. It was a bit warm for a fire when we were there, but the fire pit is a nice touch too. The location was great for access to many of the local lakes, hiking spots, and close to Lake Placid too. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful house in Saranac, this is it!

Property listing in VRBO accurate. Very secluded and private, yet within minutes of all local businesses and activities. We mainly used it as a base for hiking with many good choices nearby. Only wish the Covid would have allowed more use of sit down restaurants.

This place was absolutely Beautiful and definitely would recommend it to anyone.
The owner (Jackie) was very accommodating with any questions and always responded back in a timely matter.
The place was absolutely Beautiful and would recommend to anyone. It had lots of pots and pans, utensils, spices, coffee cups, glasses well stocked. The beds were all very comfortable, towels and washcloths available and very nice. We didn’t get to use the deck or outside fire because it got to cold or some rain arrived. It’s a little tricky finding the house but Jackie gave use directions and they were spot on. It sets in the woods which we like to be tucked back in and not out in the open. Just wished it had Mountain View’s but we went to climb the mountains so we got the best views on the summit. Thank you Jackie for letting us share your place and us making more memories for our family.
