About this house rental
Your family can relax and recreate at this charming Adirondack lake community home in the woods, 24 miles from Lake Placid, between the towns of Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. Pet friendly.
Secluded private lake community with a beach, docks, boat ramp, lawn and picnic tables on Upper Saranac Lake. Power boat, paddle, sail, bike, hike, climb, ski, x-c ski, snowshoe, snowmobile.
Boat slip usually available with previous arrangement.
The space
Perched on a hill in the forest, this rustic and cozy Adirondack mid-century expanded cape style home is a 5 minute walk from the community beach and docks on the lake.
Main Floor: Large, open living room/dining room/kitchen area with laundry, master bedroom, and full bath. A big deck with gas grill and screened in porch, perfect for entertaining the whole family.
UPSTAIRS: Three bedrooms that share a bath, and the house is bathed in sunlight within the tree top canopy. Two of the bedrooms are "semi-private", meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom, and to the shared bath. If you MUST work, the upstairs bedroom/office desk lets your spread out, and get it done in the natural light. A second desk and community dining table on the main floor provide more than enough space for productivity.
Winter time: The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway and we never know how much snow we're going to get in the winter, so if you are visiting in the winter you will need a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle and boots and/or Yak Trax! There are pictures in the listing. It is usually plowed in the winter, but is in a very remote location. Worst case scenario may require walking the driveway until plowman can arrive. Please CONTACT US with any questions.
Camera (motion activated, no sound) on the front of the house is aimed at the driveway so that we may monitor the snow/condition, safety, and pass-ability of the driveway.
This camp is in the woods. You may see signs of wildlife. We have hummingbirds just off the back deck, and a chipmunk who comes and visits on the deck. The house is on a hill surrounded by trees. Most of our guests love it for it's rustic authentic ADK forest setting in a beautiful lake community. Please know ahead of time that it is woodsy and rustic. Also, while your pets are welcome, (and loved) at our home and on our property, they are NOT allowed on community property, particularly at the beach.
Guest access
Guests have the use and exclusive access to the entire main house including 4 bedrooms, two baths, open kitchen/dining room/living room, Open deck and screened in porch, and unfinished basement main access with water toys and second refrigerator.
The community waterfront is a 2 minute drive, or 5 minute walk away, or bike. Guests have use of the beach, lounge chairs, picnic tables, docks, boat ramp, and two fire pits: one at the community beach, and one off the deck at the home. A boat slip is available with prior arrangement, 19' maximum length, NO pontoon boats (TOO wide). All use of the community waterfont, lake, docks and boats is at the risk of the guests.

From the booking to check out our stay was wonderful. The camp is equiped with everything you need for a stress free stay in the ADK. We stayed with our family, 14, 19, 21 and our dog Scoobie! And our sons girlfriend. The rooms and beds were comfy and plenty of room. We are a fan sleeping family and they had fans galore!! The fire pit is perfect! Easy to get to and great wood supply. My whole family said 10 out of 10!! Would recommend for family get away! We would definitely come back!!

Our stay was very good. The owner was very accommodating and communication was great. We had everything we needed and more. We didn’t use the beach area as it in the fall but it was beautiful. We would not have a problem going there again.

The property is on a very steep hill but being able to back up to the back porch was helpful for loading and unloading. Very nice place for the 8 of us. We were comfortable there.
