The place is very nice and the owners are very generous with their stuff. Very clean and the lake is large and beautiful. Boat house and deck were used a lot! Only issue was elderly people have problems getting to boat house. Stairs are steep.

This house is exactly as pictured. It's huge, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. The boathouse rooftop deck is wonderful, with fabulous views and plenty of seating. We enjoyed the boats, paddleboard, and floaties. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything you could possibly want for cooking. Both Sheri, the owner, and Rich, the caretaker, were extremely responsie and pleasant. Would recommend.

Once a year my husband and I invite our adult children and their families to vacation with us. This year we chose the Adirondacks because none of us had ever spent much time there. I am so thankful I found Camp Saranac and that it was available for our group of 14. Six children ages 12,10, 7,7,7, and 4 had a fabulous time in and on the water, playing in the field behind the garage, and playing Foosball in the garage. I can't imagine a better place for an extended family gathering. There was construction going on next door, but they weren't working in the evening when we were enjoying the quiet of the lake, so it wasn't a negative impact. The house is stunning with lots of places for adults to gather (the screened porch was especially popular). Plenty of life vests for all sizes, paddleboards, kayaks, canoe, and small boat were all put to good use. I don't know about the rest of Upper Saranac Lake, but this end had minimal boat traffic. Only one occasional jet ski and motor boat, which was perfect for our beginner paddle boarders. Grocery runs were about 15 minutes away, but the drive is easy and scenic. Sheri was a great host. Very responsive with a "come enjoy our home" welcome, We were all sorry to see this vacation come to an end! Highly recommend.

Fantastic stay for a large group. We visited in February for a ski trip—close proximity to Whiteface Resort for skiing and nearby towns for groceries/restaurants. Fully stocked sleeping quarters, kitchen, and entertainment options. Sheri was communicative and reachable 24/7 (including a housekeeper who swung by onsite), sent us very detailed check-in and check-out instructions, and promptly addressed any questions or issues our group raised. We believe any one-off issues we had would not affect future guests. We would happily stay at her property again.

This was our 2nd stay at Camp Saranac and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We decided in advance to cook in for the entire week and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room to spread out and plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied as much as they would like to. Can't wait for our next adventure.

This house was amazing. Beautiful views from the water front, rooftop boathouse dock! The house has everything you need and the owners share whatever is in the house! The kayaks, paddle boards,and boat with motor were all great additions. We really enjoyed spending time on the water. The smallmouth bass fishing was excellent. It’s a beautiful area and easy drive to hikes, lake placid (great Main Street) and Whiteface mountain! One of the nicest places my family has rented and great communication with the owners! Highest recommendation!
