About this cottage rental
Welcome to your Adirondack home base inside the historic Conklin Cottage, perfectly located in the heart of downtown Saranac Lake, just 15 minutes from Lake Placid.
This recently updated first-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat comfortably sleeps 7 and blends rustic Adirondack character with modern touches. Whether you’re skiing at Whiteface, hiking local peaks, or enjoying a summer paddle, this space is designed for comfort in every season.
As lifelong locals, we’re always happy to share insider tips — from favorite trails and swimming holes to the best spots for coffee or live music — to make your stay unforgettable.
The Space
Primary Bedroom: Queen bed, mounted flat-screen TV, and cozy electric fireplace
Second Bedroom: Railroad-style layout with bunk beds (full on bottom, twin on top) and TV
Living Area: Spacious seating with two couches (one is a full pull-out), another flat-screen TV, and a second electric fireplace
Dining Area: Table for six — perfect for meals or board-game nights
Bathroom: Full bath with tub/shower combo
Parking: Free on-site parking
Access: Guests receive a secure code for contactless check-in and check-out
This first-floor unit offers easy entry from the front (no stairs) and side-door access with a short stairway.
Unbeatable Location
You’ll be steps from everything downtown Saranac Lake has to offer:
Lake Flower • coffee shops • bakery & bagel shop • grocery store • farmers market • local bars and restaurants • boutique retail shops
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.
After a day of skiing, snowshoeing, paddling, or exploring, unwind by the fire and enjoy the village vibe right outside your door.

It is always a pleasure to stay here. Convenient location, clean apartments, well stocked with what you might need, and an owner who cares and wants to make sure everything is great!

Perfect getaway for iur Girls' Weekend! So much to do inthe area. We loved coming back to the house to just relax and hang out. The apartment was clean, and had a well appointed kitchen that met all our needs. I would definitely stay here again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Overall I like my stay, especially considering its location. All nice restaurants are within walking distance, and it’s close to all fancy trails and lakes in ADK. Basically the best spot for staying imo.However, I do want to mention a few issues that I hope the host can improve in the future, especially its cleanness. 1. The inner shower curtain might need to be replaced, as there are a few moldy marks building up on it.2. The fridge needs some cleaning. 3. The toilet was not fully cleaned. There were residues in it when I arrived.4. The side door’s lock bolt cannot fully engage, especially when you lock the door from outside by pressing #. It raises the beep alarm that you need to manually mute every time.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The apartment is pretty much as listed. It would definitely not work for two couples as you would need to go through the bunk bed room to get to the bathroom. It was very well supplied, was super clean, was in a perfect location, and the owner was great to work with. It's across the street from the Hotel Saranac and only two blocks from the bike trail. Unfortunately, this makes it pretty noisy with trucks struggling up the hill. Our biggest problem was the queen bed. It was so lumpy on one side that one of us had to take a bunk bed.
