This is about as close to wilderness as one can get while having all the amenities of home, as well as being only a 5-minute drive down a well-kept private dirt road to Saranac Lake or Lake Placid grocery stores. The loft is beautifully designed and appointed, and even though it's not huge, the high ceilings and plentiful windows looking out into nature make it feel quite spacious. We ate all our meals on the lovely balcony, which looks through a pine woods towards the lake. The kitchen is well-stocked for virtually every conceivable need. I was initially a little wary of the convection cooktop, but found it quite easy to use. The beds are quite comfortable, and the place was immaculate. Having breakfast while listening to the loons and sandhill cranes, as well as having a daily visit from the supposedly elusive black-backed woodpecker, was magical. Other than an occasional local motorboat or two, the serenity of just sitting by the lake is a first-class spa experience. The star-gazing is phenomenal, as well - we saw numerous shooting stars while we were there. Anita and Lem are warm, friendly, gracious hosts who live on the property, and who manage the delicate balance of being available for consultation without being intrusive at all. We enjoyed exploring their wild gardens among the pines, as well. We have definitely found our "forever rental" for the Saranac area!

This loft was a perfect get away for my parents, sister & I. It was remote enough that you could find peace and solitude, but still close to many areas to explore in the Adirondack region ... from hiking to paddling to biking, opportunities await. The property had beautiful lake access for anyone wanting to get on/in the water. Canoes & kayaks were available for use, but we brought our own kayaks for other lakes we wanted to kayak on the in the region after this stay. Access to get our boats down to the water was quite easy. Oseetah Lake is a great size for paddling and we loved how it connected to other lakes for longer adventures.The loft area to stay was just as expected - a very clean and neat, functional living space with many well thought out details (quick example - plenty of hooks on the wall for hanging clothes/towels), just wonderful! Lem and Anita were very hospitable and so willing to share great suggestions of things to do in the area. The only disappointment was that we didn't have enough time to explore everything we wanted to! We will definitely look to stay here in the future and hope to return to the region soon.

"If you want to impress, do more than expected." Anita and Lem have certainly done that with their property.It was a perfect getaway for ourselves and our two grandchildren, ages 5 and 13. After driving down a private road for about a mile you get the feeling of seclution. You feel as though you are far from civilization looking out at the pristine lake but it's a short ride to restaurants and things for the kids to do. Fishing from the dock and swimming off the private beach kept them occupied most of the time. The loft is just as the pictures depict, beautifully appointed. They have included everything you would need even beach towels. Also, you have use of six kayaks and a very nice canoe, and beach toys for younger children. If you want a place where you can sit by the lake and listen to the sounds of silence, this is the place for you. Well, if you want that, you probably don't want to bring the grandchildren.
