Our waterfront traditional Adirondack farmhouse style home offers early 1900s charm with 21st century amenities. We have beautiful lake views, a wrap around covered porch overlooking the lake, an out door stone fire pit, and private dock. With 5 bedrooms and 3 levels of space, we are prefect for families and groups. Located on a private single lane road nearly adjacent to the beach. Close to Whiteface Mountain, Mt. Pisgah, the villages of Saranac Lake & Lake Placid, restaurants and activities.

We are located on a single-lane private road with a handful of homes. Our parking is located adjacent to this road, in our parking area and along the side of the lane. We have space for about 4 cars. Guests may access our dock and “boathouse” from either the stairs or the lake trail between the house and the lake. Guests have access to the garage as well as the games, bicycles and grill stored there.

*Please bring your own Beach and bath towels, as well as any personal washcloth type items.
Inside the home, we have the original wood floors throughout, and the house is decorated and furnished in both the Adirondack and classic styles, and features cedar log beds and early 1900s furniture throughout. Our living area has a view of the lake and is furnished with a couch, plush chairs, a rocker and an additional game or working table and chairs that double as additional seating for meals with large gatherings. The brick fireplace is the centerpiece of the room. The formal stair case sweeps up from the room to the second floor. We offer a flat screen TV on which guests may utilize their streaming services. For those musically inclined, an upright piano adds to the ambiance. The dining room also overlooks the lake, and has a beautiful hickory table with seating for 10. There is a ½ bath as well as a laundry room on the first floor. Our kitchen features Hickory cabinets and granite tops. It is a working galley style kitchen, and is fully stocked with most everything you may need for preparing and serving meals. The main entrance that we use leads into the kitchen. From there,, guests may also access the second floor via the old “servants’ stairs”. Kids love the flow of the house with two sets of stair cases!

The second floor features two full baths. One has the original claw foot tub and shower, with a rich brick floor. The other features a stand up shower, hardwood floor and 4 foot sink top. The largest bedroom features sweeping views of the lake right from your bed, as well as a gas fireplace. The main bed is a queen, and a twin size bed shares the space as well. Bedroom 2 has a gorgeous lake view and a full size bed, while bedroom 3 has a tree-view to the north and west, with a full size bed and an armoir.
Our third story space is accessed though a custom set of stairs retrofitted during renovation to provide easier access to an additional two bedrooms. The stairs are a touch steeper than those found in modern buildings, but have hand rails to assist. The blue room has a queen bed with a twin bunk bed over the top of it, and a stand alone twin sized bed. The orange room has two separate twin size beds and features built in shelving and cabinets. Both rooms have a view of the lake and offer excellent air flow from the breeze high up over the lake.

1/2 BATH -Our 1/2 bath is open seasonally during the late spring, summer & fall, as it was part of the original 1901 construction designed as a summer only home. We converted the home to a 4 season residence, but, this bath is not over the basement foundation and we keep the water off from December until the cold weather passes. If you need the bath to accommodate someone in your party with mobility concerns, please let us know in advance and we will gladly restore its service during your stay. Thank you!
TRAILERS - if you plan to bring a trailer such as a boat in the summer (please note Lake Colby is a 10 horse max, but Lower Saranac Lake is just minutes away!) or a snowmobile in the winter, please note we have limited space at the house, but we do have parking recommenations, if it will not fit.
