About this property

Upper Saranac Lake. Beach, dock. King bed, pets, paddle, hike, Olympic venues

  • Your family can relax and recreate at this charming Adirondack lake community, pet friendly 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, lawn and picnic tables on Upper Saranac Lake. Paddle, sail, bike, hike, climb, ski, x-c ski, snowshoe, snowmobile.

    Dock space may be available, just ask.

    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. If hills concern you, you can see pictures of the driveway in the listing.

    Pet Space: The Deck you see in the main picture has a gate, and screened door into the porch/house, that holds most dogs well, so they can be outside and/or in the screened porch at their will, and not need to be watched all the time, as long as a standard height railing will hold them!

    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.

    The Lake House is on a hill with a considerable driveway, so if you are visiting in cold weather you yiou should consider a Four Wheel Drive Vehicle. There are pictures of the driveway in the listing. 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 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. All use of the community waterfont, lake, docks and boats is at the risk of the guests. There is no lifeguard on duty. Pets welcome at our property, but not allowed at community property, (beach)

    Other things to note

House was large enough for everyone to feel comfortable, especially when my older sister's family visited for lunch. The office space was especially good for my daughter -in-law working remotely. I loved the wooded area but I missed time on the lake. Always love the Adirondack mountains.

Nice winter getaway

This home is in a nice, quiet location and also more spaceous than some of the Adirondack winter getaway homes we had previously booked. The host was available and responsive to any questions. We will definitely consider returning next year.

Excellent peaceful cabin getaway

We enjoyed our short stay at the property. It’s very quiet, no service but the WiFi works great. The property is very wooded and hilly with not a lot of flat grounds so important to consider for kids/pets/limited mobility persons but we enjoyed the peace and privacy. We had all the amenities we needed and it is a quick 15-20 minutes from shops or adventures. The owner is very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed.

Great house for Adirondack stay

We had a family gathering, and Bruce's house was perfect for that. Large and comfortable common area and dining area, nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Large screened in back deck, saw lots of hummingbirds feeding on the Bee Balm! Very nice beach area, we used the canoe and kayaks. Bruce is very responsive and generous with his time. Great location for touring some Adirondack highlights.

Great house for a mountain vacation

We enjoyed our stay here with friends and our dog. We went Canoeing all day and enjoyed our evenings at the house either by the fire pit area outside or playing games inside. The house is up a very steep hill and is surrounded by woods. We enjoyed the deck and screened-in porch. The owner Bruce was very friendly and checked in with us every couple of days. We chose this location because it's in close vicinity to the Fish Creek Campground and Saranac Lake and also Lake Placid. We had a great stay here.

Peaceful camp in the woods

We had a fantastic stay. Owner was kind, responsive, and really went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. House is well-appointed and comfortable. The screened in porch was my favorite spot, especially with the hummingbirds flitting around. Looks like there are also some upgrades planned, which will make it even nicer. We mostly hiked — short drives to a number of trailheads; also close to towns of Tupper and Saranac Lake. We used the canoe and kayak a couple of times — boats are at the community beach/dock an easy 1/4 mi walk down from the camp. Would stay again.

College graduation

The home was inviting and comfortable. All the accommodations that we needed. But, we were not prepared for the location and the steps! Most of our people were seniors who have limited mobility. I think you should make a note of this on your listing. Thank you for sharing your house.

A nice retreat in the woods

Very nice cabin in the woods near Upper Saranac. The rental was clean, fully outfitted, and quite cozy. Great spot to stay for a small gathering of friends and family. Location is great - just 15 minutes from the towns of Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. Access to the lake takes some logistics/maneuvering, but it is a short walk.What stood out most was the communication with the host - it was excellent. Within hours of booking, we had communication that remained thorough and transparent and constant, but never pushy or claustrophobic. We appreciate all the work done by this host to create a lovely space and give their guests an enjoyable experience.

Excellent house on the lake

The lake is amazing and only a short walk from the house. Lots of great hikes within 30 minutes and now a new bike rail trail between Saranac and Lake Placid that will be extended through Tupper Lake next year, Bruce was super accommodating and helpful with info. When his canoe had a leak, he quickly got us access to another one. The house is as it appears in the photos. Clean and plenty of room for our family of four. Nice screened in porch and fire pit. Privacy, but also lots of friendly neighbors not too far away. We had a few days of rain and did one of the jigsaw puzzles. We are considering coming back next summer.

Bruce was a wonderful host; he was very personable and always quick to respond, even with little things like when we couldn’t find the iron. He offered excellent suggestions of dining and entertainment in the area and was just overwhelmingly kind from start to finish. The place itself was great, clean and had several amenities. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our special celebration!

The owner is wonderful. Communication is easy as he is very responsive and helpful. We booked the house thinking that some of our children and grands would join us and unfortunately, all canceled at the last minute. Consequently, the house served as home base for long visits to Montreal and Vermont.Tupper Lake has a wonderful Wild Center and Racquette Brewing was a favorite. Excellent restaurants in Saranac and Lake Placid. Our only complaint was the rain!!! It was constant and that put a damper on all.We were able to sit by the lake on one night. Bring water shoes for the lake.

Fishing HQ

The cabin was clean, check-in was easy, and Bruce was a bounty of information on the area. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. My father and I rented this cabin as a base of Operations for our yearly ADK fishing trip. The cabin is within 10-20 mins driving of several bodies of water as well provides access to a community beach/launch right on Upper Saranac Lake 1-2mins down the road. It was a great place to return to after a day on the water.
