We had a wonderful week of vacation; the apartment is very comfortable and in a beautiful location. Lem and Anita had everything needed to enjoy the stay, the apartment is well supplied, and they provide all the necessary equipment to enjoy the lake.

We had a wonderful time. We loved the lake and the access to kayaks and paddle board. It was so quiet and peaceful yet just minutes away from the villages of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

Anita & Lem were wonderful hosts and shared their beautiful property with our family. Our girls had an incredible time kayaking, canoeing and exploring the lake. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded lake getaway, this is the place for you.

The loft was very private, comfortable, and clean with every amenity we could need. Hosts quickly answered all my questions beforehand, were friendly and informative, and gave us all the privacy we wanted. We will definitely return!

We had a great stay at Lem and Anita’s property! The lake is beautiful and the loft had everything we needed. Lem and Anita were super accommodating and went out of their way to buy us 2 new box fans to keep us comfortable as we visited during a heat wave. We will definitely be back!

Lem and Anita's property is wonderful! We stayed for a week during my son's CAN/AM camp. The location is conveniently located between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. The property is gorgeous: mountain views, beautiful lake, abundant wildlife, peaceful and quiet. The accommodations are private, clean and very nice. The dock, diving platform and kayaks/canoes were big hits. I would highly recommend Lem & Anita's property to anyone looking to have a phenomenal Adirondack vacation!

Unparalleled sweeping view of mountains from dock on pristine lake. Unit is private, beautiful, and well-stocked for everything we needed. Provided coffee is a nice, warm touch. Grounds are sublime Adirondack habitat(s), a work of art-in-progress by the owners, with walking trails and an incredible array of flora. Awesome swimming dock and rock, and place to watch sunrises and sunsets. A small armada of human-powered boats. Approach to house from Saranac Lake through Oseetah Bog is beautiful in and of itself, and is also a great place to walk. Lem and Anita are pleasant, engaging, creative, and helpful. We will be back again, because I can't think how one could improve upon a central Adirondack experience.
