My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin in upper Saranac Lake. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the screened-in porch was a great place to sit and relax in the mornings and evenings. We spent our days out enjoying the park because this cabin is in the perfect location to access all sorts of fun hikes, swims, and other adventures. We would absolutely stay here again!

The experience is very much like staying at your friend's family cabin. Personal effects fill the space, making storing your own clothes and food cumbersome. The rooms are lived in and comfortable, totally kick your feet up and enjoy the fireplace. You will have to bring in firewood and search for paper to ignite it. Our dog loved sitting at the top of the stairs watching over everything, especially the giant spider and tiny mice. LIke any good guest staying with family, we did our share of light chores like sweeping, weeding, scrubbing the greasy stovetop, pots and pans, and wiping down bathtub. There are three tvs each with inconsistent and confusing streaming offerings, but you'll end up in different bedrooms anyway as the beds are not king and queen as listed; they are a queen and a full. Location is great, walking distance to golf and public boat launch, with canoe provided. It's very quiet, especially during the week. The Wi-Fi is good, but this is not a remote work location as there are very few functioning grounded outlets for electronics and no desk. Host is very chill, so much so that the new bath towels had not been laundered, and the batteries in the smoke detector died and triggered all the alarms at 3am. If you're looking for a completely restful vacation, as one would expect at high nightly, this cabin is not for you. However, if you're okay with doing some domestic work, like you would at your eccentric uncle's cabin, this place is acceptable.
