About this house rental
Off the beaten path, this quiet hilltop home overlooks the Adirondack Mountains and historic village of Saranac Lake. This charming retreat is decorated with knotty pine walls and large picture windows that provide terrific views of the woodlands surrounding the property. My place is thoroughly cleaned in between each visit. One of the most unique features of the home is the screened front porch. Here you can spend a lazy afternoon sipping tea, reading, or watching wildlife (deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and humming birds) from the comfort of two original antique Adirondack "Cure" chairs. On the main level, you'll find a spacious great room with new wall-to-wall carpeting and a George Jacques dining table and chairs. This area is the perfect setting for shared meals, games, and conversation with family and friends. There is also a sitting area with a wood-burning brick fireplace that will warm you after a day of skiing (wood provided). Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate by the fire or catch the latest shows on cable or streaming services on a new flat screen wall-mounted Smart TV in front of a new queen-sized sleeper sofa. The Master Bedroom features a king-sized bed, a large picture window with views of the village below, a second flat screen TV, and a new private tiled bathroom with tiled shower. There is also a complete bathroom with a full tub off the hall adjacent to the living area. As you descend the custom-made spiral staircase, you will find two additional bedrooms one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds and another ceramic-tiled bathroom. A full size washer and dryer are also on the lower level. The fully equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled with granite countertops, flooring, cabinets and appliances. I provide everything from linens to spices, condiments, coffee and tea, and wood for the fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with every pot and pan and small appliance. You can walk to town for your groceries or cross-country ski or snowmobile along the "railtrail". Easy access if you are a snowmobilier. Saranac Lake provides a central location for your Adirondack adventures. You are only a few miles from the Mt. Pisgah Ski and Tubing Center and Lake Placid. Enjoy skiing at Whiteface Mtn., boating, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and golf. Close to airport, shops, restaurants, and lakeside beach. Lots of fun family activities in beautiful surroundings.

The house was perfect for the six of us - two families with two 16 year old boys. Everything we needed, plus a real fire place. It snowed about 16 inches and the temperature dropped to 1 degree, so a roaring fire added to the fun. Despite so much snow, the streets were plowed and we had no trouble getting in and out. We would definitely stay there again!

We spent 3 nights at the Cook House. The house is on a quiet road, surrounded by nature. Walking distance to downtown Saranac Lake, a great bike path and a short drive to Lake Placid. Good restaurants in Saranac and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking in too. Comfortable beds and plenty of seating for the 5 of us! I would definitely go back!!

If you are in need of Adirondack peace and tranquility, this home may not be for you. If you would like to be within walking distance of restaurants (Left Bank really nice), a supermarket, and town center, then this might work.
Master bedroom very comfortable. The other two bedrooms on the lower level are accessed by spiral stairs. Beds below may be fine for kids, but not comfortable for adults. Kitchen small but with many items furnished. Kitchen floor not clean.
