This was a nice location (close to lake placid town) with a few minor problems. There was construction going on next door which was not disclosed prior to renting the property. The construction was unfortunately very disruptive to our stay. The lake is great and would have been very peaceful but there was loud banging and hammers next door. I would have liked to be given a break in some ways financially due to the undisclosed construction. I informed the owner and he said “that sucks.” So overall- I’d give this a 3.5/5 stars. There were also rusty nails sticking out of the benches outside. We have two little children and this was definitely unsafe. The location was great and lake was beautiful but a little overpriced for what we were dealing with. In my opinion disruptive construction (building a huge house next door) should be disclosed and if not you should be compensated accordingly for the inconvenience (even if it’s a small kickback).

This property is everything you want for a family vacation! The house is very clean and comfortable. The view of the lake from the screened in porch and the second floor balcony is fantastic! My kids and grandkids took advantage of the canoe, kayak and paddle board. The indoor air hockey game came in handy on the rainy day. The fire pit was a great place for the family to gather. We plan on staying there again.

The house was fantastic - accommodations were comfortable and spacious. The view of the lake is beautiful. We were able to watch the Eclipse of 2024 in a beautiful setting. We would love to return for a trip when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the kayak, stand up paddle boards etc.

Just delightful. Extended family gathering ages 25-80. The beautiful setting and view from the upper deck kept the less mobile happy at the house while others hiked, paddled, and cycled. Thoughtfully equipped and supplied house. Lovely back yard with a fire pit. Screened-in back porch on lower level is the perfect place to escape with a book while others gather in the main space upstairs. (Nice view from downstairs too.) We were 8 people for half the week and did not feel crowded. (Shared the bathroom off the upstairs master bath. ) Would definitely return.

We loved our stay here. There was plenty of room and a variety of things for all of us to do. Gorgeous views and very well stocked with everything we could have needed. The kids were asking to come back for a longer stay before we even left.

Property is gorgeous. Outdoor setup and lake are gorgeous. Boathouse had everything. Bedrooms were not as clean as expected. Sheets didn’t seem to have been washed and smelled like people. The bedrooms were dusty and there were some dead insects on the floor when we arrived, but the bathrooms were very clean so the cleanliness was not consistent throughout. There was animal hair in some of the blankets which some people might be okay with but as someone with allergies, I would prefer that there not be. The outdoor/daybed furniture on the screened in porch was dirty so we didn’t sit on it. Ultimately, if it were cleaner, it would’ve been perfect.

We stayed for a week over Thanksgiving and enjoyed it very much. The house is very comfortable. The neighborhood is not isolated but very quiet. Short trip into Saranac Lake. The house had everything needed to cook simple meals to Thanksgiving dinner.

Can’t wait to return
