About this house rental
Beautifully Renovated Rustic Retreat | Heart of Downtown Saranac Lake
Welcome to your beautifully renovated Adirondack escape inside the historic Conklin Cottage, perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Saranac Lake — just 15 minutes from Lake Placid and directly across the street from Hotel Saranac.
This three-bedroom, two-bath mountain-view retreat has been thoughtfully curated to highlight all four Adirondack seasons — a cozy winter base for skiing, snowmobiling, and ice climbing, and a bright, airy summer home for hiking, kayaking, and lakeside relaxation. Whether you’re here for adventure, a family getaway, or a nearby wedding celebration, this space blends rustic Adirondack character with modern comfort.
As lifelong locals and a family-run business with over 50 years of community roots, we love sharing our insider knowledge to help make your stay unforgettable.
The Space
Primary Bedroom: Luxurious king bed, cozy reading nook, and private en suite bathroom with a rain shower and LED anti-fog mirror
Cabin Room: Queen bed surrounded by floor-to-ceiling hand-crafted pine walls with natural light
Bunk Room: Pine twin-over-twin bunk beds — perfect for kids or extra guests
Second Bathroom: Full bath with tub/shower combination
Living Room: Inviting and comfortable space for relaxing after a day outdoors
Dining/Game Room: Perfect for family dinners or friendly game nights
Parking: Free on-site parking
Access: Guests receive a code for contactless check-in and check-out
Please note: This unit is located on the second floor and requires use of stairs.
Perfect for Weddings & Group Stays
Located right across from Hotel Saranac, this property is an ideal choice for wedding parties or event guests. Groups can reserve multiple units or the entire Conklin Cottage for a more affordable and intimate lodging option than traditional hotel blocks — all within walking distance of the venue, restaurants, and nightlife.
Unbeatable Location
You’ll be steps away from everything the village has to offer:
Lake Flower, coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants
Grocery store, farmers market, and boutique retail shops
Riverside Park with live music and community events
The Adirondack Carousel and Saranac Laboratory Museum
It’s no wonder Travel + Leisure named Saranac Lake the “Best Place to Buy a Lake House in 2023.”
Adirondack Adventures
There’s something to enjoy in every season:
Ski & Snowboard: Mt. Pisgah (2.5 mi), Whiteface Mountain (18 mi), Dewey Mountain (1.7 mi)
Winter Fun: Tubing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and ice climbing
Summer & Fall: Kayaking, canoeing, boating, hiking, and exploring over 50 ADK trails
Local Favorites: The Wild Center (20 mi), Lake Placid Olympic Center (9.3 mi), and Donnelly’s Ice Cream (4.8 mi)
After a long day of adventure, relax with mountain views and unwind in your cozy Adirondack retreat right in the center of town.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The host was very responsive and the kitchen is well stocked with supplies. Our only issue was we all found the mattress on the queen size beds to be too hard. I mentioned this to the host and he said he was going to look into mattress toppers to help. we'll certainly come back, we LOVE this location. We walked all over town and enjoyed a really delicious dinner, waterfront, at Lakeside Drift.
