Private Waterfront Cabin with A Spectacular View

Relax and unplug from the world in your own private rustic cabin, on the rocks above Lake Flower in Saranac Lake. Wake every morning with a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains in the distance. Kayak into town, catch fish off the dock, or relax on the deck after hiking the Saranac 6ers. This property provides the quintessential Adirondack Experience.

Kayaks and stand up paddleboards are available for your use. Lifejackets in a variety of sizes are located on the property. Fishing poles and tackle box are available and there are plenty of fish right off the dock. Several Board games, books, dvds and puzzles are available for those rainy days! There is a grill and a fire pit for smores!

This property has a loft with a queen bed and two twin beds in a separate room. Kitchen includes a microwave, refrigerator and stove. The small bathroom has a shower, toilet and small sink. We pump water from the lake which is fine for bathing and washing dishes. Four gallons of water for drinking are provided for your stay. Additional water will need to be brought in.

There is a separate cottage on the property approximately a one minute walk from the cabin that has a queen bed. The tv can only play dvd's. There is NO WIFI on the property, to allow you to truly unwind from your daily life.

Our cabin is located on the rocks above the lake. There are approximately 50 stairs to get from the cabin to the dock. Due to this large number of stairs, we do not allow children under the age of 3 to stay at this property.

The cabin is located about 3 miles from Main Street in Saranac Lake, a quaint little town with several restaurants, a grocery store, a book store and toy store. You can even kayak the mile into town, or to the Saranac Chain of Lakes. Lake Placid is a 15 minute drive away.

This property is located down a private, windy gravel drive. This is a very QUIET, private area and we ask our renters to have the utmost respect for our neighbors. There are two parking spaces available on the property.

Just before your stay you will be given a code for a lockbox that contains a key for entry to the cabin.

Just a week off
We came to Saranac Lake to check out the Adirondacks. It is a beautiful area. The Cabin is great for kicking back and soaking in the surroundings. We brought a boat with fishing in mind. Not such a good idea. Oh! the cabin advertisement indicated that it was "Blue" . Well, that's only half true. Like I said, we brought a boat so we could leave from the Cabin and fish. But, if one arrives at the cabin by water, it is brown, not blue. It rains on us for 3 days, but we still hadfun.

Great location, beautiful lake
The lake is gorgeous and the location was perfect -- secluded and private but also convenient to town. We were very comfortable at the cabin (even when it got down to 40 degrees one night) and would certainly go back. During our stay especially enjoyed the walking trail in the woods where the house is located, kayaking and swimming in the lake, and hearing the calls of loons in the evenings.

Beautiful location
The house is in a beautiful location, with a great deck and dock for viewing the lake and mountains. There are a lot of steps to get down to the dock, but once there it is a great location to sit and relax, swim, paddle or fish. The house itself is very comfortable, with the loft bedroom having particularly fantastic views. The steps up to the loft are very steep, almost ladder-like. Saranac Village is a short drive, making it easy to go into town for shopping or eating. We had a great week here with the only drawbacks being the amount of boat traffic and the very small shower (if you’re taller than 5’5” you’ll have to bend over to get your head under the shower head), but overall a lovely location in the Adirondacks.

Beautiful spot!
A beautiful spot for enjoying the Adirondacks! Loved the small, cozy, comfortable cabin. Loved using the kayaks to paddle with the loons at sunset. Just a heads up - there are a lot of stairs down to lake edge and steep ladder up to sleeping loft. Both fine for us, but something others may need to consider. It's a peaceful spot, but be aware that there is a lot of boat traffic back and forth in front of the cabin -- it's a through-way between bigger lakes. That was the only downside for us. Early morning and late evening were quiet. Great location!

Lovely views
Nice, quiet cabin with lovely view of the lake and mountains. The cabin has everything you need for a couple or small family. No potable water but plenty of bottled water for drinking and cooking. The shower was small (we are both tall) but we knew that going in. Lots of boat traffic on the lake but we enjoyed kayaking and spotted an eagle not far from the cabin.

Beautiful Location
Adorable A-frame in rustic setting. Beautiful view of lake and mountains from house and porch. Access to lake with Kayaks, paddleboards and canoe available for use. I spent a whole day exploring the lake in one of the kayaks. Saw loons on the lake and paddled into a sea of lilly pads. It was so beautiful. We also got to see the blue supermoon. The light from the moon reflected on the water. My daughter and her friend went and layed down on the dock just looking up at the moon and stars for hours. Saranac has restaurants and shops but you are also very close to Lake Placid which has lot of cute shops and restaurants as well as the Olympic center and thrilling activies like the mountain coaster or bobsleds. Perfect location for swimming, boating, hiking and relaxing surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Totally relaxing vacation
This was a great location for our girl’s trip! Amazing location with beautiful views and very peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning while listening to Loons, and kayaking everyday watching the Bald Eagles and taking in the view of the high peaks. It is a very short drive into Saranac and Lake Placid for dining or shopping even though the location feels remote. We had a very relaxing week and enjoyed everything about our stay and hope to return next summer

A great getaway
I stayed with some old high school friends, and we had a great time. The view is spectacular, the fishing is good, and the setting is peaceful. You can catch fish from the dock. The water is beautiful. There are many coves and islands to explore with the kayaks. Lake traffic might be busy one day, but other days you'll feel like the lake is all yours. There's no wifi, but cell phone service is functional. There is good hiking within a short drive or even within the neighborhood. The kitchen is functional. There is a gravel road in, but you can reach the house with 2-wheel drive. Go here for seclusion and a beautiful setting at a reasonable price.

Beautiful, quiet retreat!
This cabin was just what we were looking for. Quiet and private but close enough to shops and restaurants. Easy access to lots of hikes and having the kayaks there at the cabin for our use was so convenient. Yes, the bathroom was small, but we knew that going into it and it really wasn’t an issue, though I could see it being a challenge if you are very tall. You can’t use the tap water for drinking or cooking but Karolyn provided plenty of bottled water and a water cooler with both hot and cold water, so that wasn’t a problem either. Karolyn was great about communication and check in and check out were very simple. We had a great stay and would definitely return if we have the opportunity.
